Materials: Bedspread Weight cotton thread (size 10) or smaller if you
prefer Steel Crochet Hook

To begin: chain 78
Row 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook and in each remaining ch across (25 blocks) At end of row, ch 3 and turn.
Row 2: Continue following pattern according to chart.
At the end of last row, re-attach thread along foundation ch (where you made your first row). After completing this, fasten off and lightly press with a little aerosol spray starch. Enjoy! :)
