Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in ocean blue and sandy beige
• Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using the ocean blue yarn, create a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain 3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, work 1 dc in the same stitch, then work 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You will have 24 dc at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. You will have 36 dc.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, *dc in the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. You will have 48 dc.
6. Switch Colors: Change to sandy beige yarn. For Round 5, chain 3, *dc in the next 3 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. You will have 60 dc.
7. Continue Alternating Colors: Keep alternating between ocean blue and sandy beige every 2 rounds. Each round should increase by 12 stitches. Continue this pattern until the cover reaches the desired width for your armrest.
8. Work Even: Once you have achieved the desired width, continue working in the established pattern (without any increases) until the cover reaches your desired length.
9. Finish Off: When you reach the desired length, finish off your work and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Visual Details

The finished armrest cover features a series of gentle, undulating waves in alternating stripes of ocean blue and sandy beige. The texture is created using double crochet stitches, forming a soft, slightly raised pattern that resembles the ebb and flow of ocean waves. The cover is rectangular, fitting snugly over the armrest with a smooth, seamless edge. The colors are reminiscent of a serene beach, with the deep blue of the ocean meeting the warm, sandy shore.
