Scheepjes Crochet in my DNA MAL Week 4 - Left-handed

Scheepjes Crochet in my DNA MAL Week 4 - Right-handed

The Border

Crochet with crochet hook size 3 mm and color black 301.

We crochet 4 rounds for the border, with an optional extra piece of round for hanging (in two
variations). The first and third round of the border you crochet slip stitches and chain stitches, in the
second and fourth round of the border you crochet double crochets. We have chosen a border of two
"double crochets" high, so that it nicely matches the height of all the strips in the project. This gives a
nice "frame" around your crochet work!

Round 1: Chain stitch round

The start of the border is just before the top right corner (top left if you are left-handed). Do you see the darning needle? That is where you start. We make the attachment there, so that you can work
your threads "invisibly" away. If you also want to create a hanging system, attach it again at a different
point later.

Make a slip knot with black and pull up a loop between two black blocks.

Round 3: slip stitch chain space round

Chain 3, skip 2 double crochet and make a slip stitch in between the third double crochet of the same block and the first double crochet of the next block (see needle).

In this round, your slip stitches will "stack" above those in round 1. You skip the three double crochets and make your slip stitches between the blocks.

Round 3: tapestry needle between two double crochet groups where the slip stitch goes after 3 chains

Chain 3, skip 3 double crochet, slip stitch in the "space" between the next 2 blocks (see needle).

After 3 chains and 3 skipped double crochets, a slip stitch between two double crochets, marked with a tapestry needle

Keep going, chain 3, skip 3 double crochet, slip stitch between 2 double crochet.

Repeating 3 chains and a slip stitch between the double crochet groups, the tapestry needle marks the next spot

In the corner: slip stitch in corner, chain 3, slip stitch into the same corner space (see needle).

At the corner, the tapestry needle marks the spot between the double crochets right at the corner

Chain 3, slip stitch in chain space of the corner

Make 3 double crochets in to each next chain space. In the corner, you make 5 double crochet or, if you want, (3 double crochet, chain 1, 3 double crochet).

Hanging system

Buy a round stick with a diameter of 12 millimeters at the hardware store. (Approximately 3 euros for
a meter in the Netherlands). Saw the stick to the desired length. Another stick size is also possible,
then choose method 2 of the hanging edge.

There are two different versions to make a hanging for your project. Method 1 suspension, for a 12 mm stick: attach in the top right corner with a standing treble. Then crochet *2 chain, skip 2 stitches, double crochet in the next stitch. Repeat from * until the top left corner. Fasten off and weave in ends. Move your rod up and down between the double crochet stitches and use some fishing line to attach it to the wall.

Method 2: chain loops made to fit, for chosen sized rod

Use crochet hook size 3 mm

Start in a double crochet in the corner, make a slip knot and pull through. Chain as many chains as you
need to fit snuggly around your rod.

Start of the hanging border: black yarn pulled up in the double crochet right at the corner

Slip stitch into the same hole as where you started (see needle in the picture).
