Abbreviations
ch = chain, ss = slip stitch, sc = single crochet, dc = double crochet, hdc = half double crochet, st = stitch rnd = round
Special stitches:
fpdc (front post double crochet) : yarn over (yo), insert hook from front to back and out to the front again, around the post of the dc of the row below, yo and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), (yo and draw through 2 loops ) twice.
dc tog (double crochet together): (yo, insert hook on next st, yo and pull up loop, yo and pull up through 2 loops) twice, yo and pull up through remaining 3 loops.
hdc tog (half-double crochet together): yo, (insert hook on next st, yo and pull up a loop) twice, yo and pull up through 4 loops on hook.
Gauge: 4 dc stitches and 2 dc rows = 1”
Note: Cap is worked in rounds, joined with ss after each last st. Ch 3 counts as first dc of each round. Crochet in back loops only, except for the fpdc’s.
