2 (3) skeins or approx 240 (300) yards 100% Cotton Yarn in Worsted Weight
I used Lilly Peaches n’ Cream
6.5mm (K) hook Yarn needle
Notes
- Pattern is written in small, changes for large are in parenthesis
- First 6 (7) rows of this pattern uses my seamless method, if you are not familiar with this method, or are having a problem understanding the pattern, you can watch the video tutorial HERE
- Last st(s) will be placed in the st previously skipped
- Sl st into the top of the first dc to join each round
- For chevron rows- Ch3 counts as first dc. Each Round will end with a sl sti into the Ch3 to join
- To keep chevrons properly stacked on top of each other, each new round will begin by slip stitching over two times, to the last dc of the previous chevron. Each round will end with the last two stitches being placed in those two sl st spaces. Color changes will happen on the 2nd sl st
- To change color: Using working color, insert hook into 2nd st, YO and pull through new color. Cut old color and continue stitching as normal
- I prefer my handles on the shorter side. To make your handles longer simply increase the length of the chain during the handle portion of the pattern
