For this alphabet we start at the left hand side top and work our way down the curve of the alphabet
Part 1 :
Start : with 3 fsc. Turn.
Row 1 : sc all 3 sts. Turn.
Row 2 : dc in the 1st st ; hdc in the next st ; sc in the last
st. Turn.
Row 3 : sc in the 1st st ; hdc in the next st ; dc in the last

We have finished
the lower half of “H” part of the alphabet.
We will now work on
the top part and for that we will work along the top edge of the stitches we
just made.
The stitches along
the edge are all dc.

sl-st + sc along
the next post ;
hdc + dc along the
next post. Turn.

st. Turn.
Rows 25 - 26 : Rep Rows 23 and 24.

We will now work on
that final bit right on top of “H”,
and once again we will work along the top
edge of the stitches we just made.

Fasten off and weave
in ends.

How did I stiffen my alphabets?
For all my alphabets (whether English or Devnagari), I use Mod Podge (1 MP : 2 water) - so if doing a large batch its table spoons with the proportion or tea spoon depending on quantity needed.
For Indians : Fevicol or Fevicryl Fabric glue in similar proportions works as well.
Enjoyed this ?? I
sure did.. Come back right here for more freebie patterns
