Special Stitches:
1. Treble
crochet: One you chain one as your turning chain, find the third single
crochet in the first row. Yarn over two times for a treble crochet and insert
the hook around that third single crochet. The post is basically the vertical
part of the stitch, and you’re going around the entire stitch. Complete the
treble crochet.
2. Front
post Treble Crochet two Together: Next it’s time to make a front post
treble crochet two together. To do this, yarn over two times and insert your
hook through the same single crochet post from the last FPTC. Work the treble
crochet up to the point that you have two loops on your hook. Do not complete
the TC.
Skip the next three
single crochets from row one. Yarn over two times and insert your hook around
the post of the fourth single crochet. Work the treble crochet up to the point
that you have three loops on your hook. Yarn over and draw it through all three
loops to complete the FPTC2Tog.
