Yarn: 4 Medium ~ Big Twist Value brand, Soft Gray
Magic Circle.
Row 1: 12 DC inside MC.
Row 2: Following a continuous loop pattern, place 1 DC + 1 FRONT POST st in each st in this row (24 total st at end of row).
Row 3: *2 BACK POST st in st 1, 1 FRONT POST st in st 2.* Repeat * around the row (36 total st at end of row).
Row 4: *1 DC in st 1, 2 DC in st 2, 1 FRONT POST st in st 3.* Repeat * around the row (48 total st at end of row).
Row 5: *1 BACK POST st in st 1 – 2, 2 BACK POST st in st 3, 1 FRONT POST st in st 4.* Repeat * around the row (60 total st at end of row).
Row 6: *1 DC in st 1 – 3, 2 DC in st 4, 1 FRONT POST st in st 5.* Repeat * around the row (72 total st at end of row).
Row 7: *1 BACK POST st in st 1 – 5, 1 FRONT POST st in st 6.* Repeat * around the row (72 total st at end of row).
Row 8: *1 DC in st 1 – 5, 1 FRONT POST st in st 6.* Repeat * around the row (72 total st at end of row).
Rows 9 – 22: Repeat Rows 7 & 8.
Row 23: Make sure that you have not placed the last FRONT POST st at the end of the last row (Row 22). *In that FRONT POST st, place 1 DC + 1 TR around the FRONT post + 1 DC in that FRONT POST st from the previous row. 1 SC in next 4 st. SC 3together in next 3 st. 1 SC in next 4 st.* Repeat * around the row. In the last SC 3together of this row, we need to SC 4together instead. Note: this is only for this row so that our count stays the same as we work our continuous loop pattern.
Rows 24 – 26: *In that FRONT POST st, place 1 DC + 1 TR around the FRONT post + 1 DC in that FRONT POST st from the previous row. 1 SC in next 4 st. SC 3together in next 3 st. 1 SC in next 4 st.* Repeat * around the row.
You can repeat the above pattern for more rows if you want to accentuate the pattern more.
Place 1 SL st in one of your low points in this pattern and then cut and tie off the yarn.
