This pattern is written using US crochet

terms:

st (sts) – stitch (stitches)

ch – chain stitch

sl st – slip stitch

sc – single crochet

blo – back loop only

inc – increase – 2sc into the next st

dec – decrease

sc2tog – work 2 dc together (decrease)

How to decrease: sc2tog – 2 single crochets are

joined into one loop. Insert the hook in back loop

of next stitch and pull the yarn through, then pull

the yarn through the 2sd from the hook stitch. Now

you have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull

it through all loops.

Main pattern: All the rows are worked in sc into

blo.

Gauge: work 23sts and 26 rows in sc working blo

to measure 10×10 cm (4×4 inch) using a 3.5mm

crochet hook, or size required to obtain the gauge.

Please check the gauge before you start!
