Instructions - Base

Notes:

  1. The sample was created with BLDC Back Loop Double Crochet. This pattern can also be made with DC.
  2. This sample uses Chainless Starting Double Crochet to start many of its rows, but you can start each row with a traditional CH3.
  3. This project doesn't have to be perfect as far as stitch count goes. So, if your count is a bit off, just compensate when making the 10 stitch gap so that the handles are centered.
  4. When using the Chainless Starting Double Crochet, the beginning stitch will sometimes migrate to the left as you work. This will change the number of stitches worked before the 10 stitch gap. For either of these instances, flatten your work and find the center front. Count out five stitches from the center in both directions. These are your 10 gap stitches.
  5. Blocking is not necessary.
