Colours

We are working 4 rounds of square A.7 with the following colours:

CAST ON + ROUND 1: 05 light wash
ROUNDS 2-3: 06 light jeans blue
ROUND 4: 01 white

Let’s get going!

CAST ON:
Work 4 chain stitches with light wash, form them to a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch.

ROUND 1:
Work 3 chain stitches (equivalent to the first treble crochet).

Work * 1 chain stitch, 1 treble crochet around the chain-stitch ring *, repeat *-* 11 times in total, 1 chain stitch = 12 treble crochets around the chain-stitch ring.

Finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round, at the same time as you change to light jeans blue, read COLOUR CHANGE TIP below. Cut the light wash strand.

COLOUR CHANGE TIP:
To get a neat transition when changing colours, work the last stitch before the colour change with the new colour.

ROUND 2:
Work 1 chain stitch, read CROCHET INFO below.

CROCHET INFO:
The round starts with 1 chain stitch before the first double crochet (this chain stitch does not replace the first double crochet).

Work 2 double crochets around every chain stitch from the previous round = 24 double crochets.

Finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the first double crochet at the beginning of the round.

ROUND 3:
Work 3 chain stitches (equivalent to 1 treble crochet).

Work * 5 chain stitches, skip 2 stitches, 1 treble crochet in the next stitch, 2 chain stitches, skip 2 stitches, 1 treble crochet in the next stitch *, repeat *-* 3 times in total.

Finish the round with 5 chain stitches, skip 2 stitches, 1 treble crochet in the next stitch, 2 chain stitches, skip 2 stitches, 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round, at the same time as you change to white. Cut the light jeans blue strand.

ROUND 4:
