Chickens Sampler Square

CHICKENS

Sampler Square

Comments: The simpler complex stitch is based on alternating dc and sc on the same row; this can be do in several ways; I like this one, because the result is very geometrical ordered (yes, I am a scientist and I like cleanness!) and it resembles chicken footprints (hence the name) . A good pattern for baby afghans and for warm shawls.

Size : 15 1/2 cm = 6 inches

Material : Worsted Weight Yarn, Hook no.4.5 (US=G/7);you may want to give a look to my virtual store if you need materials.

Stitches :ch, sc, dc

Difficulty: easy

Directions

Start with 24 ch

1. sc in ea ch; 1 ch, turn

2. sc in first sc; *(sc, dc) in next sc, sk a sc* Repeat * to * on the Row, ending with a sc in last st; 1 ch, turn

3.sc in first sc; *(sc, dc) in next sc, sk a dc* Repeat * to * on the Row, ending with a sc in last st; 1 ch, turn

4-12.Repeat Row 3;

13.sc in ea st; At the end of Row , start to crochet border

Border

Make uniformly distributed scs on vertical sides, sc in ea sc in top side, sc in ea starting chain in bottom side. Join with sl st to first sc. Cut thread, weave in ends.

N.B.

Substitute ever (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:

first sc with 1 ch, sc;
first hdc with 2 ch;
first dc with 3 ch;
first tr with 4 ch...and so on;

When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
