THE PERFECT SPRING & SUMMER CROCHET PROJECT
The crochet singlet pattern is the perfect spring and summer crochet project.
It’s made up of multiple panels, which are then seamed or crocheted together at the end.
Featuring 2 stunning crochet stitch patterns, which gives it such a beautiful look.
Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
This pattern is written for 9 sizes, where the different sizes is given in parenthesis like this: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL. If just one number is given, it applies to all sizes. I recommend that you highlight or circle the size you’re making before you begin to make the pattern easier to follow. Size adjustments are added under “Size & Measurements”.
At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.
Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Step 3: Insert hook into prev “chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st , with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”).
Yo and pull through both loops on hook. Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches. *2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st , step 2 makes 1 st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.
Sk 1 st, in next st, draw up a loop, yo, draw up a loop from same st, yo, pull yarn through 4 loops on the hook, ch 1, draw up a loop from same st, yo, draw up a loop from same st, yo, pull yarn through 4 loops on the hook, sk 1 st, sc in next st.
Yo, draw up a loop from next st/ch sp from last row, yo, draw up a loop from same place, yo, pull through the 4 first loops on hook, yo, sk 1 st, draw up a loop from next st/ ch sp from last row, yo, draw up a loop from same place, yo, pull through the 4 first loops on hook, yo, pull through the last 3 loops on hook, ch 2*, repeat.
