Crocodile Tears Stitch
Ch multiples of 5 + 1. You also need beads with a hole large enough to have 2 strands of yarn pulled through.
Turn and,
working into the back loops, dc in 2nd ch from hook. Ch 1, *sk 2 ch, 2 dc
into next st*. Rep from * to * across row.
Turn, sc at base
of ch. Working around back of first post (not both of the posts, just
the first one), 5 dc around the same post. Your stitches will stack on top of
each other. Ch 2, pull loop through a bead, ch 2.
Rotate your
work to go back up the other side and to finish your scale - working around the
same singular post, fp stitch from the bottom of the stitch up to the
top and work in 5 dc. One scale complete.
Sc into the top
of the second post (right next to the one you've been working on) to hold
everything you just did in place, and then continue working across the row.
Once you
complete your row of scales, you need to set up another foundation row before
you begin your next set of scales: ch 1 at the end of your scale row, turn, sc
into the base of the ch. Sc into the middle of the scale, 2 dc into the
top ch in between scales. Continue across row.
When you reach
the end of the row, ch 1, turn and work across, making scales.
