Day 5: How to Crochet Leaping Stripes

Today’s pattern and video are this super fun stripey pattern called Leaping Stripes. I’ve made several blankets in this pattern because it is so much fun! Its a little slower to work up than say double crochet, because you have to work 3 rows for the height of 2, in your fabric.

Leaping Stripes

Multiples of 4 + 3

Row 1: dc into the 3rd chain, dc, *ch2, skip 2 stitches 2dc* Repeat across, finishing with a dc into the last stitch.

Row 2: ch2, *dc2 over the chains, into the foundation chains, ch2, skip 2 st* Repeat across, and finish with a regular DC at the end of the row.

Row 3: ch 2, *dc 2 over the chains and into the stitches in the row below, ch 2 skip 2* Repeat across. Dc at the end of the row.

Repeat Row 3 until you reach your desired length.
