Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in a natural beige color
• Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook
• Scissors: For cutting the yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 12 stitches. Make sure your chain is not too tight, as this will affect the flexibility of your motif.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue making a dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, make a dc in each dc across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3. Now, we will create the crossed double crochet stitches. *Skip the next dc, make a dc in the next dc, then make a dc in the skipped dc (this creates a crossed dc). Repeat from * to * across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
5. Row 4: Chain 3, and then make a dc in each dc across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
6. Repeat Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 3 and 4 until your motif reaches the desired length. This will enhance the intricate Celtic knot appearance.
7. Finishing: Once you are satisfied with the size of your motif, finish off by cutting the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in. Use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends.
8. Blocking: To enhance the Celtic knot appearance, block your motif. This can be done by gently wetting it and pinning it to a flat surface to dry, ensuring the intricate design is showcased beautifully.
