ch=chain sl st = slip stitch sc = single crochet hdc = half double crochet dc = double crochet rep = repeat beg = beginning rem=remaining tog=together sp=space lp st = loop st blo=back loop only
Each piece takes under ¼ oz of any color 100% #4 worsted weight cotton yarn Size H crochet hook, Scissors and Darning Needle
Using #4 Cotton Yarn and Size H (5.0mm) Hook chain 11.
Dc in the 4th ch from the hook (the skipped 3 chs count as your 1st dc).
Dc in each of the next 6 chs.
In the very last ch, work 5 dc. This turns the corner.
Now working along the bottom of the ch, dc in the next 7 chain.
In the base at the bottom of the starting Ch-3, work 5 dc. (This looks crowded but it is necessary to get the texture right.) Step 6: Join with a sl st to the top of the Ch-3. (26 sts)
Ch 2 (this does not count as a st, creates the height needed for the first dc). Dc in the first st. BPdc around the next st. Repeat [dc in next st, BPdc around next st] 3 more times. (You have now worked 8 sts total across the1st straight side).
We will increase in the 5 stitches that formed the curve in Round 1. [2 dc in the next st, BPdc around the next st] 2 times. Make 2 dc in the next st. (You have added 3 extra stitches here. Total curve stitches: 8).
BPdc around the next st. Dc in the next st. Repeat [BPdc around next st and dc in next st] 3 more times. (8 sts total for the straight back-side).
We will increase in the 6 sts that formed the second curve in Round 1. [BPdc around the next st, make 2 dc in the next st] 3 times. (You have added 3 extra sts here. Total curve sts: 9).
Join with a sl st to the 1st dc (not the ch-2). (33 sts)
Ch 2 (does not count as a stitch, but acts as the height for the first dc). Dc in the first stitch. BPdc around the next Bpdc stitch. Repeat [dc in next, BPdc around next] 3 more times.
2 dc in the next stitch. Dc in the next st. [ BPdc around next st, 2 dc in next st, dc in the next st] 2 times.
[ BPdc around next, dc in the next st] 4 times.
[BPdc around next, 2 dc in next st, dc in the next st] 3 times. Squeeze a bpdc around the beg st.
Join with a sl st to the first dc (not the ch-2). (40 sts)
Ch 1 and sl st in the next st around. Join to the beginning st with a sl st. End off and weave in the end.
