Holiday Swag Clue #2
Skill Level: Easy to Intermediate
US Terminology
Colors:
​
While this can be done in 1 color, I recommend at least 2. Because row 4 has a peek-a-boo effect with row 5 showing behind it.
​
I used 4 colors with a repeat of color 1 for the medallions because I have white walls.
​
Color 1: Gold
Color 2: Cranberry
Color 3: White
Color 4: Frosty Green
Medallion: Gold
​
​
Materials
​
As I said, you can use crochet thread, sport, dk or worsted weight yarn. And what ever appropriate hook size you want as long as it is suitable for your yarn. I would not recommend chunky or bulky yarn for this project though.
​
I used:
Worsted Weight Yarn in a variety of brands. *decent size left overs from my stash*
A 4 mm/G hook
​
The following stitches are used in this pattern:

Pattern Note:
​
* Unless otherwise noted; chain 1 or other turning chain counts do not count as your first stitch .
​
* This project is worked from the top to the bottom. So you will always be looking at it upside down. Rotate it to get a view of what it will look like when it is hanging.

Row 3: Color 2 Working in the BLO
If you haven't already done so change to color 2, chain 3 (counts as your first st) and turn.
Beginning Pattern Set: Dc into the next 9 stitches (blo), 5 dcpc (see special stitches) into the ch 2 space. Taking care to catch the first stitch after the popcorn stitch which could be a little bit hidden by the popcorn. Dc in the blo of the next 10 stitches.
Repeating Pattern Set: *Dc into the blo of the next 10 stitches, 5 dcpc into the ch 2 space, dc in the blo of the next 10 stitches* . Repeat * to * as needed to complete your row. Ch 1 and turn
Row 4: Work in BLO
Beginning Pattern Set: Sc in the same as the turning chain in the blo, * Ch 3, skip the next stitch, sc in the blo of the next st.* Repeat * to * 5 times. Ending at the very last stitch before the popcorn. Note: this is a little bit of a fudge as there really isn't a stitch available there. Ch 8 and sc in the blo of the stitch immediately after the popcorn. Note this stitch might be a bit tight and hard to see. Repeat * to * 5 times
Repeating Pattern Set: (Working in the blo), Sc in the next stitch. *ch 3, skip 1 stitch, sc in the next stitch.* Repeat * to star* for a total of 5times. Ending at the very last stitch before the popcorn stitch. Ch 8, sc in the blo of the stitch immediately after the popcorn. *Ch 3, skip 1 stitch, sc in the next stitch. Repeat * to * for a total of 5 times.
Back side view as you finish the row
This is what it looks like after you turn it.
This is how it looks when it's in use
There's more to come. But I wanted to mention that this is also a good ending point if you need or want something narrower. The chain 8 makes a good place to put medallions, babbles or pompom and tassels.
