STOP! No Needles Required! This "Knit" Pattern is 100% Crochet

For this pattern I'm casting on a number of stitches that is a multiple of 12 plus 2 stitches. I have chained 38 stitches and now I'll begin row 1. The entire project is made of just 2 rows. Row 1 is worked from right to left and consists of many small short rows. Row 2 is worked from left to right and also consists of many short rows. Then, these rows are alternated and repeated. First, second, first, second, and so on. Let's start the first row, the first section. Chain 1 for turning. Next, I insert the hook into the second chain from the hook, through the back loop only, and make a slip stitch. That's 1. Into the next stitch, 2, then 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The first section is ready. It has 8 regular slip stitches. Next, the pattern repeat will begin. The repeat is the part of the pattern that will be repeated over and over. So, chain 1, turn. Yarn over, insert the hook into the second chain from the hook, through the back loop only, and work a yarn over slip stitch. I will make 6 of these. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Chain 1, turn. The next section in the repeat is 8 regular slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Next, I insert the hook into the jumper, right here, and into the back loop of the row below. This will be the hitch. That's 7. And into the last stitch, 8. The next section, chain 1, turn. And again, 6 yarn over slip stitches. I make a yarn over on the hook, and work, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Chain 1, and turn. And next, again, 8 regular slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I've reached the step, so I insert my hook into the jumper, and into the back loop of the row below. This is the hitch. That's 7. And the last stitch, 8. The next section, chain 1, turn. And again, 6 yarn over slip stitches. I make a yarn over on the hook, and work, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. And the last section in the repeat is 14 regular slip stitches. Not 8 this time, but 14. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I insert my hook into the jumper, and into the row below for the hitch. That's 7. Into the next stitch, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and the last 14th stitch. With that, the first row repeat is complete. Now, we repeat this over and over. 6, 8, 6, 8, 6, 14. Then again, 6, 8, 6, 8, 6, 14, and so on, to the very end. Let's meet back here, and I'll show you how to finish this row. As I approach the end of the row, in the last repeat, the final section remains. In the main repeat, this section always consisted of 14 stitches. But here, there isn't enough space to work 14. Only 8 stitches are left. So at the end of the row, I work 8 regular slip stitches through the back loop only. I make the hitch, and with that, the first row is complete. Next will be the second row. It will be worked from left to right. Here is the second row on the finished sample. The numerical sequence in the second row will be exactly the same as in the first row. The only difference is, where we made yarn over slip stitches, we will now make regular slip stitches. And where we made regular slip stitches, we will now make yarn over slip stitches. Also, if you've noticed, the diamonds in the second row are arranged in a staggered pattern relative to the diamonds in the first row. Therefore, we won't start the second row with a full diamond as we did in the first row, we'll start it with a half diamond. And similarly, we will end the second row with a half diamond. So that is the only difference between the first and second rows. Okay, row 2. Chain 1, turn. Yarn over, insert the hook into the second chain from the hook, and work 2 yarn over slip stitches. Next section. Chain 1, turn. Again, I insert the hook into the second chain from the hook, through the back loop only, and work 2 regular slip stitches. Next section. Chain 1, turn. Yarn over, insert the hook into the second chain from the hook, through the back loop and work four yarn-over slip stitches. I've made two and now there's a step. How is a step worked when I'm making yarn-over slip stitches? The hitch is also made with a yarn-over. I insert my hook into these two threads, one, two, then I yarn over and go into the row below. This will be the third yarn-over slip stitch and into the last stitch, the fourth yarn-over slip stitch. Chain one, turn. Into the second chain from the hook, I insert my hook and work four regular slip stitches. Again, chain one, turn. Six yarn-over slip stitches. Next, I insert the hook again through the two threads, the jumper and the next thread, yarn over and into the row below. This is the fifth yarn-over slip stitch and the sixth. Chain one, turn. And in the opposite direction, six regular slip stitches. Chain one, turn. And now, 14 yarn-over slip stitches. All the steps that I encounter in this section will be made with hitches. In patterns like these, that's the main rule. When you work a step, you make a hitch. So one, two, three, four, five, six. I insert the hook into two threads, yarn over, into the row below. Seven, eight. Again, I insert the hook into two threads, yarn over, into the row below. Nine, ten. Again, I insert the hook into two threads, yarn over, 11, 12. And for the last step, again, I insert the hook into two threads, yarn over, 13, 14. And the first element of the second row is complete. Let me make a chain one and turn. Here it is. The beginning of the second row is ready. Next, I will start working the repeat. So, the repeat in the second row, I've already made a chain one and turned. Next, I insert the hook into the second chain from the hook and work six regular slip stitches through the back loop. One, two, three, four, five, six. I've made six. Chain one, turn. Next, eight yarn over slip stitches through the back loop. One, two, three, four, five, six. I work the step, inserting the hook into the jumper and the thread, yarn over, into the row below. Seven, eight. Chain one, turn. Six regular slip stitches. One, two, three, four, five, six. Chain one, turn. Eight yarn over slip stitches. One, two, three, four, five, six. I work the step, inserting the hook into the jumper and the thread, yarn over, into the row below. Seven, eight. Chain one, turn. Six regular slip stitches. One, two, three, four, five, six. Chain one, turn. And the last section of the repeat is 14 yarn over slip stitches. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen. With that, the repeat for the second row is complete. Let's make a chain one and turn for convenience. Look, now we repeat this pattern over and over. Six, eight, six, eight, six, fourteen. Then again, six, eight, six, eight, six, fourteen. Then again, until you reach the very edge. I will work to this point and show you how to make the final elements in the second row. You see, it will only be half of this leaf like shape. I've reached the end of the row, finished the repeat with 14 stitches, and now I'll work this half section. I've made a chain one and turn, and I'll start with six regular slip stitches. One, two, three, four, five, six. Chain one, turn, and then six yarn over slip stitches. One, two, three, four, five, six. Chain one, turn. Four regular slip stitches. One, two, three, four. Chain one, turn. Four yarn over slip stitches. One, two, three, four. Chain one, turn. Two regular slip stitches. Chain one, turn. Two yarn over slip All the numerical sequences are the same as in this video, but you just work all stitches with yarn overs.
