Pattern Instructions
ch1 at the end of each row does not count as a stitch
stitches contained within ** are the repeat section for that row
TIP: one row of short spike stitches starts and ends with 1sc, and the following row of short spike stitches starts and ends with 2sc to offset the pattern.
Starting Chain: Start with white color. This pattern requires you to chain multiples of 2ch. My starting chain is 24ch.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from the hook, sc in each remaining chain, ch1, turn.
Row 2: Sc in each stitch until the end of the row, ch1, turn. Don’t cut the yarn, leave it on the side of your work.
Row 3: Change colors to blue. Sc, *long sc, sc* until the end of the row, ch1, turn.
Row 4: Sc in each stitch until the end of the row, ch1, turn. Don’t cut the yarn, leave it on the side of your work.
Row 5: Change colors to white. Sc in next 2sts, *long sc, sc* until you have one st left, sc in last st, ch1, turn.
Row 6: Sc in each stitch until the end of the row, ch1, turn. Don’t cut the yarn, leave it on the side of your work.
