CHICKEN COASTER – PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS
Main Body
Note: Round 1 is the only round worked in a circle. All subsequent rounds are worked in rows. Each ch3 counts as a double crochet (dc).
Starting the Magic Circle: Begin by making a magic circle. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 more double crochets (dc) into the circle. Slip stitch (ss) into the top of the ch3 to join.
Round 1: Ch3 (this counts as a dc). In the same stitch as the last slip stitch, work 1 dc. Then, work 2 dc in each stitch around. Slip stitch into the top of the ch3 to join. (You should have 24 stitches total.)
Row 2: Ch3 (counts as a dc). *Work 2 dc in the next stitch, then 1 dc in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * 8 more times. Dc in the next 2 stitches, then turn your work. (This will give you 30 stitches, with 3 stitches left unworked in this row.)
Row 3: Ch3 (counts as a dc). Work 1 dc in the next stitch. *2 dc in the next stitch, then 1 dc in the next 2 stitches.* Repeat from * to * 8 more times. Dc in the next stitch, then dc into the top of the ch3 from the previous row. Turn your work. (Now you have 40 stitches.)
