Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight natural fiber yarn
• Hook: 6.5 mm crochet hook
• Scissors: For cutting the yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a slip knot and chaining 20 stitches. This will be the base of your swatch.
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc). Continue to single crochet in each chain across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 to begin the next row. Make a single crochet in each stitch across the row. Turn your work at the end.
4. Row 3: Chain 1 to start. Now, you will create the textured pattern. In the first stitch, make a single crochet (sc), then in the next stitch, make a double crochet (dc). Repeat this pattern of *sc in the next stitch, dc in the next stitch* across the row. Turn your work when you reach the end.
5. Row 4: Chain 1 to begin. Make a single crochet in each stitch across the row. Turn your work at the end.
6. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Rows 3 and 4 until your swatch reaches your desired length. This will create a lovely textured fabric.
7. Finishing: Once you have reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
