Pattern

1. Foundation & First Row

Chain 60 (or another even number in multiples of 2 for desired width).
Row 1 (Green):
- Skip 3 chains from hook, double crochet (dc) in the 4th.
- Skip 1 base chain, work [dc, ch 1, dc] all in next chain.
- Repeat across: each “V-stitch” cluster is worked into every other base chain.
- End with two dc in last chain.
- Your row will look a little wavy—this is normal due to the stitch used.

2. Second Row (Color Change - Pink)

Attach pink yarn at the start of the row, chain 1.
Work a half double crochet (hdc) in the first base stitch.
Between each V-stitch cluster:
- Work two double crochets together (dc2tog) as follows:
  - Yarn over, insert into space, pull up loop, yarn over, pull through two loops (leave last loop on hook).
  - Yarn over, insert into same space, pull up loop, yarn over, pull through two loops (leave two loops on hook).
  - Yarn over, pull through all loops.
- In between each pair of V-stitches (the chain 1 spaces), work one hdc.
Continue pattern for the entire row. Fasten off pink.

3. Third Row & Continuing Rows (Color Changes)

Return to green:
- Chain 3, turn.
- In the middle of each pink hdc, work a V-stitch: [dc, ch 1, dc].
- Repeat for each hdc across. End with two dc in last hdc.
Continue alternating colors for desired length, repeating Row 2 with each new color (yellow, then pink, then green, etc.).
- Always change color at the beginning of a new row and fasten off previous color.
- For a 70 cm long rug, repeat the sequence until you reach your preferred length.

4. Border & Finishing

a) Single Crochet Border

Attach green yarn at any corner, chain 2.
Work two single crochets (sc) along each side, working over color change joins to hide ends.
- If your edge is tight, add an extra stitch in each side knot for ease.
- Continue around all edges.
- In corners, add two sc for turning.
At the starting chain edge and top edge, simply work one sc per base stitch.

b) Fan Stitch Edging

After the sc border is complete, start the fan stitch:
- Chain 3, 2 dc in same stitch, chain 2, and 3 dc in same stitch.
- Skip two base stitches, sc in next.
- Skip two stitches, in next stitch work [3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc] (fan stitch).
- Repeat around, alternating fan stitch and single crochet every two stitches.
When you reach the beginning, close with a slip stitch in the third chain of the first fan, then fasten off.

c) Final Finishing

Weave in all tails securely with tapestry needle, passing through the back of stitches and hiding ends.
In corners and edges, pass through several stitches before trimming yarn for durability.

Tutor’s Suggestions

Lay out color sequence in advance for best effect.
If your chain row feels too tight or too loose, adjust hook size or chain count before moving forward.
For larger rugs, increase the starting chain (must be even) and work more rows.

Tip

Work over color-change tails as you crochet the border to speed up finishing and keep edges neat!
