Instructions

Bean Stitch — *Insert hook into the next stitch, Yarn over and pull up a loop, Yarn Over* repeat from *to* for a total of 3 times. You will have a total of 7 loops on the hook when done. Pull the first loop on the hook through all other loops on the hook.

You will work a Chain 1 after working a Bean St to close and secure the bean stitch.

Swatch

Ch 12, 24, or 38 depending on the size swatch you are making.

1. R1: Sc in the 2nd Ch from the hook and every Ch across.
2. R2: Ch2, turn, Hdc in the first St, Skst, *Bean St, Ch1, Skst* repeat from *to* until you reach the last St. Hdc in the last St.
3. To continue repeat Row 2 until your project is as long as you want it. When working you bean stitch in Row 3 and beyond you will be working your bean stitch into the Ch1 space. If you take your work and stretch it out a bit horizontally you will see a small triangle created by the Chain 1 space. Work your next stitch into that triangle.
4. A Single crochet border makes your edges look nice and is recommended if you are making any of the March Texture Madness projects.
