Paper for the PDF
Plain single crochet with a line of small eyelets every third row.
Gauge
13 stitches and 15½ rows to 4 in (10 cm) in single crochet eyelet rows.
How to measure it
Along a row, count every stitch and every chain between stitches as one.
To count your gauge in the middle of the test piece: 7 repeats of the bracketed group side by side (14 foundation chains' worth) are about 4.3 in (10.9 cm) wide, and 15 rows are about 3.9 in (9.8 cm) tall.
The pattern also stops you to measure after row 12.
Work a test square first (22 rows)
Work the test piece first. This piece is wide, and starting again after the first place to stop means working its first rows a second time.
A test piece to measure and pull out. It is not the start of the pattern.
Gauge is counted over 4 in (10 cm), so make the swatch bigger than that: about 6 in (15 cm) each way, and count in the middle of it.

For another width: how many chains to add
For another width, add or take away 2 chains at a time: each 2 chains adds one more repeat of each bracketed group, and 2 more stitches to a row that has no brackets. Measure your own gauge first.
The starting chain calculator opens on this pattern's multiple and gauge: type the width you want.
Before you start
- The ch 1 at the start of a row does not count as a stitch.
- Row 1 is the right side.
- The number of rows is our estimate: yours may differ, and the length does not change the stitch count.
- Leave a tail of about 6 in (15 cm) when you begin, and weave it in at the end with the others.

- “[ ]” is a repeat.
- The count at the end is what the row leaves.
- Tick a row when it is done. Your place is kept in this browser.
How to read these rows
Square brackets “[ ]” hold a repeat: work what is inside as many times as it says. In UK terms sc is double crochet.

- Stop and measure when you have worked row 12.Width, across the middle of the rows and not along the chain edge: about 50¼ in (128 cm). If it is wider, start again with a smaller hook; if it is narrower, with a larger one. If only the chain edge is tight, make the chain with a larger hook.
- Rows 5 to 232Repeat rows 2 to 4 in order, over and over. The last row, row 232, is worked as row 4.Repeat until the piece measures about 60 in (152 cm), ending with a row worked as row 4: at our gauge that is row 232. Go by the tape measure, not the count.Next: row 5 of 232, worked as row 2
- EndFasten off, leaving a 6 in (15 cm) tail.
