dc 3-tog : Double crochet 3-together
This is a pretty shell-like border strip that I’ve tweaked to give this pattern.
As usual, the pattern starts with a chain, but I’ve used my fsc start.
Then once we complete this strip, I’ve repeated the whole thing once more to give it a rounded finished effect.
Simple enough.. so let’s start.
ch 2 , sk next fsc , sc + picot in the next fsc ;
*ch 5, sk next 3 fsc, sc + picot in the next fsc* ;
rep *to* till end ;
dc in the last fsc. Turn.
ch 2 , sc + picot in the next ch-5 sp ;
*ch 5, sc + picot in the next ch-5 sp * ;
rep *to* till end ;
ch 5, dc in the last dc. Turn.
ch 2 , sc in the next ch-5 sp ;
*6 dc in the next ch-5 sp ; sc in the next ch- sp ;
ch 5, sc in the next ch-5 sp* ;
rep *to* till end ;
ch 5, dc in the last dc. Turn.
ch 2 , sc in the next ch-5 sp ;
* dc in the next dc ;
(ch 2, dc in the next dc) ;
rep (to) in the next 4 dc ;
sc in the next ch-5 sp* ;
rep *to* till end ;
ch 5, dc in the last dc. Turn.
ch 2 , dc 3-tog in the next ch-2 sp + picot ;
* (ch 2, dc 3-tog + picot in the next ch-2 sp) ;
rep (to) in the next 3 ch-2 sps ;
ch 2, sc in the next sc ;
rep (to) once * ;
rep *to* till end ;
ch 2 and sc in the last dc. Turn.
So rather than just have it one side, I’ve turned my strip around, and repeated Rows 1 – 6 on the other side of this fsc chain.. and I love the double sided shelled pattern.. don’t you?
Give yourself a big pat on the back as this one has really been a great project – but totally worth it, I’m sure you’ll agree.
