Crochet Patterns

by Katrin Affolter

Many of my projects start with an idea, but without a concrete pattern or instructions. I try to write understandable patterns that hopefully not only I can follow. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone who I can give them to read through and repeat. Therefore, my patterns may not always be clearly formulated or may even contain errors. So don't be afraid to write to me if you have any questions or find errors.

Used Stitches

fp

front post (double) crochet

Instead of yarn over in the previous stitch, the fp is done around the stitch from the last right side row. The postfixes "-l1" or "-r1" indicate the number of stitches shifted. For example, "-l1" means, that the fp shall be done around the stitch one step to the left.
As ar rule of thumb I add a "yarn over" for each stitch I have to shift. For example "fp-r2" means I have to shift two stitches to the right. Therefore, I will yarn over three times instead of a single yarn over before inserting the hook around the stitch.
