  • SC (Single Crochet) – Rows 1 to 7 with CH 1 for each row around


How to Make :


  1. To start with, first make a knot by pulling up the loop down.
  2. Then make a CH  of 25.
  3. After completing till 25, bring the yarn to the start, the place where we started our first CH as a round.
  4. Now pull over the yarn through the first loop as a SS (slip stitch).
  5. Make one CH and then proceed with the SC around on each loop.
  6. TIP : To go on the loop, take two on the top and leave the yarn in between for the single crochet. The flow looks Beautiful.
  7. Continue this from Row 1 to Row 7.
  8. TIP : To start with the next row, use a stitch marker at the end of the previous row and then keep going for each.
  9. NOTE : For each row, continue SC after CH 1.



For the Waist

  • Row 8 and 9 – SC – two together then 4 SC with CH 1 for each row, around
  • Rows 10 – 16 – SC with CH 1 for each row, around


How to Make : 


  1. To proceed with the waist, we have to shrink a bit.
  2. So, for the next two rows, 8 and 9, we are starting with the CH 1 and then proceed with two together SC (loop on the first and loop on the second, then pull the yarn together through the two loops).
  3. Then Continue, four SC on the next loops.
