Cowl Foundation treble (ftr) Step by step
WORKING CONSECUTIVE STITCHES
This technique is one of our favourites for starting a project without a foundation chain THE FIRST FOUNDATION ROW STITCH 5 Yrh, insert hook into ch st from previous row created in Step 4.
1 Chain 3. Yrh and insert through 3rd ch from hook. 6 Yrh and pull up one loop through ch – this has linked your stitches together. 3 loops on hook
2 Yrh and pull up one loop through ch – this has linked your stitches together. 3 loops on hook Rnd 6: 1 dc, 1 RtrF2tog around last and first RtrF2tog two rounds below, [miss 1 st, 3 dc, 1 RtrF2tog around same (just used) and next RtrF2tog two rounds below] to end, miss 1 st, 2 dc. Rnd 7: As Rnd 3. Rnd 8: 3 dc, 1 RtrF2tog around first and 2nd RtrF2tog two rounds below, [miss 1 st, 3 dc, 1 RtrF2tog around same (just used) and next RtrF2tog two rounds below] to end with 2nd leg of the last RtrF2tog worked around the first RtrF two rounds below. Repeat rnds 5-8 nine more times (or to desired height). Last Rnd: Dc around. Do not cut yarn, proceed to Edging.
Yrh and pull up one loop – this is your new ch st to work the next st into. 3 loops on hook
3 Yrh and pull through two loops. 2 loops on hook
7 Yrh and pull up one loop – this is your new ch st to work the next st into. 3 loops on hook
8 Yrh and pull through two loops. 2 loops on hook
Edging Dc in BLO around. Fasten off. Weave in end at beginning of first round to close gap. Join yarn in any st on opposite side of foundation round, dc around. Last Rnd: Dc in BLO around. Fasten off. Weave in ends and block to dimensions given in schematic.
