Materials required: Black sewing thread DMC #30, Black Gutermann metallic thread Firstly, use your black thread to crochet a chain roughly 15 cm long
To simplify matters, all the rings and chains have 3 ds's separated by 5 picots (3ds X 5p) R= Ring, C= Chain We are making the smaller motif first: R1: 3ds x 5p. ,3ds cl. RW C1: 3ds x 5p. , 3ds join 3rd p of R1 (next motifs join the 3rd p. to 3rd p. of C3) C2: 3ds x 5p. , 3ds RW R2: 3 ds x 2 p. 3ds join 3rd p. of R1, 3ds join 2nd p of R1, 3ds 1p. 3ds R3: 3ds, join 5th p of R2, 3ds join 1st p of R1, 3 ds x 3p. , 3ds cl. RW (*) C3: 3ds x 5p. , join 3rd p of R3 C4: 3ds x 5p. and repeat from R1, then stop at (*) and continue with :
Uppermost end of motif: C3: 3 ds x 5p. , 3ds RW R4: 3 ds 1p. 3ds att to 4th p. of R3, 3ds, join 3rd p. of R3, 3 ds x 2p. 3ds cl. R5: 3ds , join 5th p. of R4, 3 ds x 4p. 3ds cl. RW C4: 3ds x 5p. join 3rd p. of R5 RW R6: : 3ds, join 5th p of R5, 3ds join 1st p of R4, 3 ds x 3p. , 3ds cl. RW C5: 3ds x 5p., RW R7: 3 ds 1p. 3ds join 4th p. of R6, 3ds, join 3rd p. of R6, 3 ds x 2p. 3 ds cl. R8: 3ds , join 5th p. of R7, 3 ds x 4p. 3ds cl. RW C6: 3ds x 5p. join 3rd p. of R7 RW R9: : 3ds, join 5th p of R8, 3ds join 1st p of R7, 3 ds x 3p. , 3ds cl. RW C7: 3ds x 5p., join 3rd p. of R9 C8: 3ds x 2p. join 3rd p of C4 of the last normal motif, 3ds x 2p. RW Come back the other way from R1 joining the centre p of C4 At the end tat: C: 3ds x 2 p. , 3ds NB: Pick up the end of the crochet chain to join the motif. Tat 3ds x 2p joining to the beginning of your work. Cut and tie the thread. Make the same motif with the necessary extra repetitions at the other end of the crochet chain.
