COVER FOR YOGA MAT - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked in the round, bottom up.
COVER FOR YOGA MAT:
Work 5 chain stitches with hook size 4 mm and mustard Merino Extra Fine and form them into a ring with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch worked. Read CROCHET INFORMATION!
ROUND 1: Work 6 double crochets around the chain-stitch ring.
ROUND 2: Work 2 double crochets in each double crochet = 12 double crochets.
ROUND 3: Work * 1 double crochet in next stitch, 2 double crochets in next stitch *, work from *-* to end of round = 18 double crochets.
ROUND 4: Work * 1 double crochet in each of the next 2 double crochets, 2 double crochets in next stitch *, work from *-* to end of round = 24 double crochets
ROUND 5: Work * 1 double crochet in each of the next 3 double crochets, 2 double crochets in next stitch *, work from *-* to end of round = 30 double crochets. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION!
Continue in the round like this, i.e. work 1 more double crochet between each increase until you have worked a total of 12-14-16 rounds = 72-84-96 double crochets. Insert a marker thread here. THE PIECE IS NOW MEASURED FROM HERE! Now work 1 round to thread the twisted cord through as follows: * 1 double treble crochet in each of the first/next 3 stitches, 1 chain stitch, skip 1 double crochet *, work from *-* to end of round and finish with 1 slip stitch in 4th chain stitch at beginning of round. Change to cerise.
Now work a spiral of chain-spaces in the round as follows: * 7 chain stitches, skip 3 treble crochets, 1 double crochet around the next chain stitch *, work from *-* to end of round, but finish the round with chain stitches and 1 double crochet around the first chain-space on the round, then continue the spiral of chain-spaces in the round until the piece measures 66 cm or to desired length - finish the round with 1 double crochet around a chain-space. Cut and fasten strand.
TWISTED CORD:
Cut 2 strands of cerise and 2 strands of mustard, each 7 metres long (4 strands). Twist them together until they begin to resist, fold cord double and it will continue to twist. Tie a knot in each end. The cord measures approx. 220 cm. Thread the cord up and down through the last round worked with mustard, and then thread it up and down through a row of chain-spaces, approx. 6 cm down the cover, measured from the last round worked. Tie the ends of the cord together.
