So...a few days ago, I was

thinking about what I was going to do for this week and I had a wild idea. I thought...what if I took a single crochet and wrapped my yarn around the loop??? Wonder what that would look like... Well, it's awesome. I'm sure that I'm not the first to ever have that idea, but it's not one that I'd heard before. It's really pretty! Would make a great dish cloth pattern or a great accent for an afghan...etc...etc.. To get started, chain an odd number (very important), sc 1 row to begin.( You wouldn't have to do that...but I think that it makes working this stitch a whole lot easier.) Ch 1, turn, sc in first sc, wrap your yarn around the loop from the SC 3 times. See picture below. Skip next sc, sc in next sc, *wrap yarn (3X) around lp from sc, skip next sc, sc in next sc. * Repeat from * across.

Below is a picture of this stitch used as an accent.
To use as an accent row:
Chain an odd #
Row 1: SC in each ch across, ch 1, turn
Row 2: SC in first SC, *wrap yarn (3x)around lp from sc, skip next sc, sc in next sc.* Repeat from * across, ch1, turn
Row 3: SC in first SC, *ch 1, skip the wrapped part, sc in next sc.* repeat from * across, ch1, turn
Row 4: SC in each stitch across.
Below is a picture of this stitch used as the majority of the project. It will begin the same way...
Chain an odd #
Row 1: SC in each ch across, ch 1, turn
Row 2: SC in first SC, *wrap yarn (3x) around lp from sc, skip next sc, sc in next sc.* Repeat from * across, ch 1, turn
Row 3: SC in first SC, * wrap yarn (3x) around lp from sc, skip wrap from previous row, sc in next sc.* repeat from * across, Ch 1, turn
Row 4 and following: repeat row 3 over and over until you are drawing to a close.
To finish:
1.) *ch 1, skip the wrapped part, sc in next sc, ch 1, skip the wrapped part, sc in next sc* Repeat from * across, ch 1, turn
2.) SC in each stitch across. Tie off and cut.
Happy Hooking!
