SPECIAL STITCH PATTERNS Half-closed treble:
yrh, insert hook into next stitch, yrh, pull up a loop, yrh and draw through two loops, leaving two remaining on hook.
Reverse double crochet (Rev dc): This is a corded edging worked in the opposite direction to the usual method (left to right for right-handers, right to left for left-handers). Do not turn the row just worked. Chain 1, then dc into the last stitch of the previous row and in each stitch back to the fi rst stitch. This will feel
strange, but persevere and you will see the cord-like edging appear!
Lakota lattice stitch (Multiple of 4 +2 chains) Row 1: Dc in second ch from hook, *5ch, miss next 3ch, dc in next ch; rep from * across, turn. Row 2: 4ch (counts as tr, 1ch), dc in next 5ch loop, (3ch, dc) in each 5ch loop across to end, 1ch, tr in last dc, turn. Row 3: 3ch (counts as tr), 2tr in fi rst tr, (dc, 2ch, 2tr) in each dc across to last dc, dc in last dc, working a half-closed tr in same
Lakota cardigan MARLAINA BIRD
“I wanted a no-fuss structured garment with a stitch pattern that created vertical lines. The two-tone collar adds a little punch to this simple piece.”
