How I Use My Graph Patterns With Double Crochet and Two Colors

 


HOW TO [CHANGE COLORS]: When finishing the last double crochet of the previous colored block, drop that color and pull new color through the last loop. Use new color to double crochet the next stitch. See example below:







FOLLOW ALL ODD # ROWS RIGHT TO LEFT'
FOLLOW ALL EVEN # ROWS LEFT TO RIGHT

To determine the beginning chain, multiply the number of squares in the first row times three. 5x3=15
Chain 15, chain 3 more to turn (counts as first double crochet in Row 1)

Row 1: Double crochet in the 5th chain from your hook, double crochet across (15 Double crochet)
chain 3 to turn (counts as first double crochet in Row 2)

Row 2: Double crochet in the 5th chain from your hook, double crochet across (15 Double crochet)
chain 3 to turn (counts as first double crochet in Row 3)

Row 3:
    Square 1:  Double crochet in the 5th chain from your hook, 2 more double crochet [change color in final double crochet stitch]
     Square 2:  3 Double Crochet  [change color in final double crochet stitch]
     Square 3:   3 Double Crochet  [change color in final double crochet stitch]
     Square 4:   3 Double Crochet  [change color in final double crochet stitch]
