Materials

480 metres of dk / weight 3 yarn

3 and 4 mm hooks I use this set from Amazon*

Written in English US terms with abbreviations for UK

sc = single crochet (double crochet in UK)

dc = double crochet (treble crochet UK)

bs = Bobble stitch- (yarn over, insert hook into next stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 stitches), four times, you should have 5 stitches on hook, yarn over and pull through all 5.

blo = back loop only (crochet into the back loop of the stitch)

ch = chain

inc = increase

slst = slip stitch

[ ] = these stitches should be completed into one stitch or the ch1

* * = in between should be repeated

Gauge Square

With 4mm hook

Row 1: Ch12, dc in 4th ch from hook and each chain across. (9) Turn

Rows 2-4: ch1, dc in base of ch1, dc 8. (9) Turn

Square should measure 2 inch wide by 2 inch tall.

If you're out with a 4mm hook try a 4.5mm hook.

If you have problems hitting the length this is not too important, as measurement will be given to follow.

Pattern notes

Working in the first stitch the ch1 or ch2 does not count as a stitch, so always ch1 or 2 and sc / dc in the first stitch.
On the bobble rows the ch1 corner counts as a stitch.
Work needs turning so you are working the wrong side facing, to do the bobble rows, then turning back to the right side afterwards.
The corner increase may vary in the amount of stitches, this is to get the right stitch count for the bobble row.
The rib edging can be made shorter by chaining less stitches, or longer by chaining more stitches.
