Chain 4 (counts as 1st fdc). Yarn over and insert hook in 4th chain from hook. *Yarn over and pull up loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 1 loop creating a chain st, (this is an important step but easy to forget). Yarn over again and pull through first two loops on hook (two loops remaining). Yarn over again and pull through last two loops on hook. This completes the second fdc (remember your 1st ch4 counted as the 1st fdc). To stitch the next fdc, yarn over and insert the hook into the chain made in the 2nd fdc and repeat from *
NOTES
- This belt is created in rows, the first row is finished off and worked independently of other rows
- Pay close attention to the first sts of each row, sometimes the ch1 counts as the first st, sometimes it does not, sometimes you st into the sl st, sometimes you do not. Pattern specifies in each row where to place first st.
