• CSDC - Chainless Starting Double Crochet
• Working into Edge
• The Red Heart Hygge Charm is held doubled throughout the Diamond Side. The Red Heart Hygge is not doubled for the Solid Side. For more on yarn held doubled, click here.
• This pattern uses the FSC which negates the need for a foundation chain. If preferred, chain 56, skip the ch closest to the hook, and sc in each rem ch for the first row of either side of the pattern.
• Additionally, this pattern uses the CSDC, which takes the place of a turning chain or other dc substitute in the first st of some rows. If preferred, use a ch 3 and count that as the first dc of the row, or use your preferred dc dubstitute
