Lacy Baby Blanket Tutorial, Step 3




In this step we crochet Row 4.


We begin by executing the instructions prior to first *, which read:


dc in next dc.



That was quite simple. Next we need to work the instructions from * to second star *, which read:


*ch 3, sc in space between next 2nd and 3rd dc (it’s the space between two shells, and by shell I mean 3 dc worked in same space), ch 3, skip next 2 dc, 3 dc in next dc, 3 dc in next dc*


Probably the trickiest line here is “sc in space between next 2nd and 3rd dc (the space between two shells)”, look carefully at the picture below for visual help.



The picture below shows instructions from * to second * worked one time.



Worked two times.


Worked four times. We need to work these instructions the total of 12 times.


After we worked the instructions from * to second * 12 times, the row is not finished yet.


We finish Row 4 by executing the instructions after second *, which read:


ch 3, sc in space between next 2nd and 3rd dc (the space between two shells), ch 3, skip next 2 dc, dc in next 2 dc. Ch 2, turn.


The Row 4 is complete!

And we can see our overall lacy pattern taking its form.


I will post Step 4 next week.
