🌿 Step-by-Step Tutorial

1️⃣ Foundation Chain

1. Chain a multiple of 4 + 2 (for example, 42 ch for a sample swatch).

2. Turn your work and start in the second chain from the hook.

---

2️⃣ Row 1 – Base Row

1. Work 1 sc in each chain across.

2. Chain 2 and turn (this chain 2 counts as your first dc in the next row).

---

3️⃣ Row 2 – First Texture Row

1. Dc in the next 3 stitches.

2. Fpdc around the first dc of the group (the one you just made 3 stitches back).

   • This creates a raised, twisted column.

3. Skip 1 stitch (already covered by the fpdc) and repeat across the row:
   → (dc 3 times, fpdc around first dc of group)

4. At the end of the row, dc in the last stitch to keep edges even.

5. Chain 2, turn.

🪄 Tip: The fpdc should be worked around the post of the earlier dc (not in the top loop). Pull slightly so the stitch stands up vertically.

---

4️⃣ Row 3 – Establish Pattern

1. Dc in next 3 stitches.

2. Fpdc around the first dc of this group (the one 3 stitches back).

3. Repeat this sequence across the entire row.

4. Dc in last stitch, ch 2, turn.

---

5️⃣ Rows 4 – End

Repeat Row 3 for all following rows.

As you build height, you’ll see vertical “twist” lines (the fpdc columns) forming across your fabric — they look like braided or cinnamon-stick textures.

---

6️⃣ Finishing Edge

1. After the final texture row, work one row of single crochet across the top for a neat finish.

2. Fasten off and weave in ends with a tapestry needle.

🧩 Optional Border (for projects like blankets)

Work 1 round of single crochet evenly around all sides:

• 1 sc in each stitch and 3 sc in each corner.

• If desired, add a decorative second round using reverse single crochet (crab stitch) for a twisted rope edge.

---

📏 Example Stitch Count Reference

Chain	Approx Width (medium yarn)
26 ch	15 cm sample swatch
42 ch	25 cm narrow scarf
62 ch	35–40 cm table runner
102 ch	60–70 cm baby blanket

---

✨ Tips

• Keep your tension slightly loose — fpdc stitches pull the fabric tighter.

• Use a solid color yarn to show the raised lines clearly.

• For two-tone texture, alternate yarn colors every 2 rows.

• When turning, always chain 2 (not 3) to maintain even height.

✅ Summary Pattern (Short Form)

Foundation: ch multiple of 4 + 2
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and each across. Ch 2, turn.
Row 2: *dc in next 3 sts, fpdc around first dc of this group*; rep across. Dc in last st. Ch 2, turn.
Row 3–end: repeat Row 2.
Finish with 1 row sc across top.
