I hook
DK weight yarn (I used Morea, a 51% virgin wool blend)
DO NOT TURN unless specified!!
Row 1: ch 3, dc in 1st ch st. Sl st in beginning ch to join round.
Row 2: ch 3, dc in same st. 2 dc's in each st. sl st in beg. ch to join.
Row 3: ch 3, dc in each st around EXCEPT last 3.
Row 4: ch 1, TURN. sc across to end.
Row 5: ch 3, TURN. dc across to end.
Rows 6-14: repeat rows 4 and 5, ending with sc row. When you get to the end, continue the sc up the side edge, crocheting through the end of the rows, the neck portion, and the other side. sl st to join with sc row.
SO simple, right?? I know! If you're doing this for a boy, you can just leave it as is. But, as always, for a girl you need frills and pretty things, so I stepped it up and added a shell st around (*ch 3, sc in same st, sc in next st* repeat from * around)
To make ties, you can chain down to the length you desire at a corner and then sl st back up, fasten off. I added ribbon through the dc's and sewed them together at the joining spot. I also sewed on a bow to add cuteness :)
Please don't re print this as your own. Link to me is fine. Print it out and use it. Give it away for charity use. I don't care...just don't call it your own!! Have fun with it and please comment to let me know what you think!
