Materials Needed

• Yarn: Lightweight cotton yarn
• Crochet Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 10 vase stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation: Begin by creating a foundation chain. Chain a multiple of 6, then add 3 more chains. For example, if you want to start with 30 stitches, chain 6 x 5 = 30 + 3 = 33 chains.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, *chain 2, skip the next 2 chains, and make a dc in the following chain*. Repeat from * to * across the entire row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Start with a chain of 3 (this counts as your first dc). Make another dc in the first dc of the previous row. Then, *chain 2, skip the chain-2 space from the previous row, and dc in the next dc*. Repeat from * to * across the row, ensuring to end with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Begin with a chain of 3. Then, *chain 2, and make a dc in the next dc*. Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
5. Repeat: Continue to repeat Rows 2 and 3 until your project reaches the desired length. This will create the beautiful vase-like shapes that characterize this stitch.
6. Finish: Once you have achieved your desired length, fasten off your yarn. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends to give your project a clean finish.
