1dc in 3rd ch from hook (skpd 2 ch do not count as your 1st dc), 1dc in next 7 ch, V-st in next ch, 1dc in next 12 ch, V-st in next ch, 1dc in next 18 ch, V-st in next ch, 1dc in next 12 ch, V-st in next ch, 1dc in next 8 ch, TURN [66 dc, 4x ch1 sps]
It has a particular flavor that just works well for this dressing
(44 sts) Rnd 2 (MC): Ch 2, insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop, insert hook into same st as ch 2, pull up a loop, yo, pull thru 2 loops on hook, yo, pull thru remaining loops on hook, linked dc in next st, ch 2, skip next 2 sts, [ dc in next st, linked dc in next st, ch 2, skip next 2 sts ] work from [ to ] 10 times
So now is the time to set a precedent for the future, so think about the relationships that are important
