Notes:

  • Turning chain does NOT count as your first stitch (unless otherwise specified). So, when working flat, be sure to work your first stitch in the very first stitch. And when working in the round, be sure to work your first stitch in the same stitch as join.

Instructions:

Chain 84 (90, 96, 102, 108) Join with a SS to form a loop. If you have trouble doing this, check out my fool proof for Joining Chains in the Round.

Round 1: Chain 1. Hdc in each chain around. Join with a SS to the first Hdc made. (85 (90, 95, 100, 105))

Round 2 – 18 (18, 19, 19, 20): Chain 1. Hdc in each stitch around. Join with a SS to the first Hdc made. 84 (90, 96, 102, 108)

Round 19(19, 20, 20, 21): Chain 2. *(2Dc. Chain 1. 2Dc.) in the next stitch. Chain 1. Skip 2.* Repeat from * to * around. Join with a SS to the first Dc made.

Round 20(20, 21, 21, 22): SS into the next Dc and next chain 1 space. Chain 2. *(2Dc. Chain 1. 2Dc.) in the next chain 1 space. Chain 2. Sc in the next chain 1 space. Chain 2.* Repeat from* to * across. Join with a SS to the first Dc made.

Round 21(21, 22, 22, 23): SS into the next Dc and chain 1 space. Chain 2. *(2Dc. Chain 1. 2Dc.) in the next chain 1 space. Chain 1.* Repeat from * to * around. Join with a SS to the first Dc made.

Round 22(22, 23, 23, 24) – Desired Length: Repeat rounds 20(20, 21, 21, 22) – Round 21(21, 22, 22, 23)

Straps:

Chain 7(7, 7, 8, 8)

Row 1: Sc in the second chain from hook and each chain across. 6(6, 6, 7, 7)

Row 2 – 41(42, 43, 44, 45): Chain 1. Sc across.

Finish off. Sew on straps. Weave in ends.
