Size Chart:

Gauge (double crochet):

12 sts × 8 rows = 4″

Note:

Fasten off and weave in ends after the last round on each size.

Special Stitches (back post single crochet):

BPSC stands for Back Post Single Crochet. It’s a crochet stitch variation where instead of inserting your hook under the top two loops as in a regular single crochet, you work around the back post of the stitch from the previous round. This creates a ribbed, textured effect that looks like vertical ridges.

How to Make a BPSC:

1. Insert your hook from back to front, then to back again around the post of the stitch below.

2. Yarn over, pull up a loop (two loops on hook).

3. Yarn over, pull through both loops.
