Gauge:

13 sts x 9 rows = 4” square in HDC

Finished Size:

Height = 9.5"

Width = 9.5"

Pattern Notes:

  • The chain stitches at the beginning of each row/round do not count as a stitch. 
  • The end of each round is attached to the first st of the round with a sl st.
  • You can carry your yarn or use bobbins to change colors.  I carried color A and used bobbins for color B.  
  • In the sample, Color A is red and Color B is white

Instructions

Bottom Ribbing - Working in rows

ch 11 (A)

Row 1: SC in the second ch from the hook and SC across (10).  Turn

Row 2-60: ch 1, working in BLO, SC across.  Turn.

When you finish the ribbed band, fold it so that Row 1 and 60 are on top of one another.  Working through the back loop of Row 60 and the front loop of Row 1, seam the two rows together by slip stitching across.  Do not cut your yarn.  Continue on to work in rounds along the “raw” edge of ribbed band.
