Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight cotton yarn
• Hook: 6.5 mm (K) crochet hook
• Gauge: 10 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in lace pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Slip Knot: Make a slip knot and place it on your crochet hook.
2. Chain 50 Stitches: Yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook to create a chain. Continue until you have 50 chains.
3. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). This counts as your first dc.
   • Now, *chain 1, skip the next chain, and make a dc in the following chain; repeat from * until you reach the end of the row.
4. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), then turn your work.
   • In the first chain space, make a dc, then *chain 1, dc in the next chain space; repeat from * until you reach the end of the row.
5. Continue the Pattern: Repeat Row 2 until your piece measures approximately 60 inches long or your desired length. Make sure to check your gauge to maintain consistency in your stitches.
6. Finish Off: Once you reach your desired length, cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it.
7. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
8. Optional Decorative Border: To add a decorative touch, single crochet around the entire piece. Start in a corner and work evenly around, placing 3 single crochets in each corner to maintain the shape.
