This pattern is for those who can not read a graph (graph coming soon)! MATERIALS: 5mm Crochet hook 5.5mm Crochet hook Bulky yarn (I used LionBrand hometown USA) Scissors Tapestry needle STITCH INDEX: SL - slip stitch: insert hook yarn over, pull through, pull through loop without yarning over again. SC - single crochet: insert hook yarn over pull up a loop, yarn over pull through loop. KS - knit stitch: insert hook into stitch yarning over with color A, pulling up a loop, yarn over with color B pull through loop.

I on the other hand only carry my yarn through one round at a time and only for the letters. that leaves me about 14 ends to sew in. It's all subject to personal preference. With white: 5MM hook. SC in back loop only until the ribbing is complete CH 8 ROW1-62: SC (blpo) SL across to connect the 2 ends Now you will be working in the r...
