Special Stitch

Deep V: Work 2 dc sts between the posts of the dc sts 2 rows below, enclosing the chs of the previous row.

Note

When working the dc sts into the row below the previous row, or the Deep V, enclose the chs of the previous row in the dc sts.

Quick Tips

• Check your gauge with the recommended yarn and hook; adjust hook size to match the gauge.
• Use stitch markers to mark pattern repeats or the first stitch of a row when working large widths.
• Change colors every two rows as directed for the striped ripple effect; when carrying yarn, keep floats loose to maintain drape.
• Weave in ends as you work color changes or when the project is finished.
• Test blocking on a small swatch if using a different fiber; Bernat Forever Fleece is polyester and may behave differently under steam or wet blocking.
