Estimated Yarn Requirements (Worsted Weight / Size 4 Yarn)

Notes:

• Ch 2 at the beginning of dc rows does count as a stitch.

• Cable is worked using front post treble crochet (fptr).

• Here’s how to do a front post treble crochet:

  1. Yarn over three times (since it’s a treble crochet).

  2. Insert your hook from the front to the back and around the post of the stitch you want to work into.

  3. Yarn over again and pull up a loop, so you now have four loops on your hook.

  4. Yarn over and pull through the first two loops (like a regular treble crochet).

  5. Yarn over and pull through the next two loops.

  6. Yarn over again and pull through the remaining two loops.
