Instructions

Work the bottom in double crochets around the chain of chain stitches.

• Start by making 31 chain stitches, make double crochets down the chain of chain stitches.
• In the last stitch make 5 double crochets.

Turn the piece and work back through the chain of chain stitches, making 5 double crochets in the last stitch.

Make dc until you reach the stitch with 5 dc, in the 5 stitches make inc, dc , inc, dc , inc

Turn the piece and continue to make dc until you reach the stitch with the 5 dc. In the next 5 stitches work: inc, fm , inc, fm , inc (72)

Now the circumference of the bottom is made, next round work only in the back stitch chain.

• Make 72 double crochets in the back loop

Until otherwise stated, work in treble crochets. Start each round with 3 chain stitches and end the round with a slip stitch.

Make 24 rounds of treble crochets, followed by 3 rounds of dc.

THE HANDLE

This net is made with a double handle, i.e. two thin handles forming one handle.

It is a good idea to put some stitch markers in the piece so that you can attach the handle to the opposite side quickly and easily.

• Insert a marker in stitch number 1, 3, 4, 6, count out 30 stitches.
• Insert a marker in stitch number 31, 33, 34, 36, count out 30 stitches.

As you can see in the picture, we have used different colour markers corresponding to the above two lines - each handle has its own colour.

• Make 70 chain stitches
• Make 1 double crochet in the stitch with the first yellow marker on the opposite side.
• Make a double crochet in the next stitch.

• Make 3 chain stitches and turn the piece.
• Make treble crochets back through the chain of chain stitches.

• Make a treble crochet in the stitch between the two yellow markers.
• Make a double crochet in the stitch with the last yellow marker.
• Make a chain stitch as a turning stitch and turn the piece.

• Make double crochets back along the handle.
• Make a slip stitch in the stitch with the last yellow marker.

Now the first part of the handle is done, the side with the yellow markers. Now make the other side.

Now make the second part of the handle, it is the same procedure as the first.

To get to the same starting point, make 3 double crochets, so that you are in the last pink stitch marker. Now repeat all steps from the first handle.

Cut the yarn and fasten the end.

Now the little Rainbow Net with double handle is finished and ready for use!
