I’m playing again with crochet. I made a lap throw with cotton yarn and used a neat little stitch that I have heard called Offset and Block or Tipsy Clusters. I like the look and it worked up quickly. If I do it again though I would only use a solid color yarn with this stitch as it shows up better. Here’s the best I can do with the pattern: Make it any length you like using a multiple of 12 stitches plus 4.
Chain to desired length. (Mine is 34″ wide x 72″ long.)
Row 1: Turn. Chain 3 (count as first dc). Skip 1 ch on base chain, *5 dc, sk 3 chs, 5 dc in the next ch, sk 4 chs, ch 2; repeat from * across ending with 5 dcs.
Row 2: Turn. Ch 3 (count as first dc). *5 dcs in dcs, sk ch 2 , 5 dcs in the first dc of shell, sk 4 dcs of shell, ch 2; repeat from * across ending with 4 dcs and dc in turning chain.
Repeat Row 2 until length you desire. You can easily change colors in the rows if you wish to use more than one color as I did with a few solid rows and a few variegated ones.
