It goes like this maybe you can help me find it or see if you have it. Please email it too me at: dale_real_estate@yahoo.com
you start with a g or h hook and a baby yarn.
ch. 134
row 1: Working in back stitches only, sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in each ch. across
row 2: ch.3 (count as first DC) DC in both loops of each next 2 sc, *skip 3 sc of previous row, then (3dc, ch1, 3dc) all in back loop of next sc, skip 3 sc of previous row, dc in both of each next 3sc **repeat from * to ** till end of row.

Lovely pattern. Thanks. Loved the yarn as well. Which brand/make is it?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing! I made one for a friend of mine who just had a baby and it turned out amazing. Now starting on my second one for a cousin who is due in May.
ReplyDeleteI love the yarn you used. I'm trying to find the exact same. Whatis the name of the yarn you used?
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern, i'm trying to find the yarn you used. It looks similar to super saver redheart Calliope or Sherbet Print but i'm not sure.
