Customizing the Top Edge (Straight Finish)

To achieve a straight top edge:

1. Ch 1, turn.
2. Sc in single crochet from previous row.
3. 2 sc in the chain-2 space from previous row (work into the space, not the chains themselves).
4. Sc in next dc.
5. Hdc in next dc.
6. Repeat this sequence across the row.

Customizing the Bottom/Starting Edge (Matching Foundation Row)

To make the bottom (foundation) row match the sides and top:

1. After the last row is worked, turn your work so the foundation chain (bottom) is at the top.
2. Re-attach yarn to the first space on the foundation row.
3. Ch 2 (counts as first dc), dc in the same space, ch 2, sc in the same space.
4. Skip three sts, in next space work 2 dc, ch 2, sc. Repeat across.
   Save

Pattern Correction

• Always work into the chain-2 spaces for the main stitch repeat after row 1, not into individual stitches.
• Be sure to skip three stitches when repeating the main sequence after the initial dc/sc sequence in each row.

Tips

• Use a stitch marker at the start of each row if you’re new to row repeats.
• Block your work for the neatest, most even appearance.
• Try different yarn weights and hook sizes for unique textures.
• A foundation chain that is too tight can cause curling; use a hook one size larger for the chain if needed.
• For a neat edge, always count your stitches at the end of each row.
