Stacked Double Crochet: Insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop so that there are two loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through to complete what would be a single crochet stitch. Put your hook through the legs of the stitch you just created. Yarn over, pull up a loop so that there are two loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through to complete your “stacked” double crochet.

Pattern for Motif:

Row 1: Make a magic circle and ch 3 (counts as a DC).

Make 1 DC, ch 1, and rep *2 DC, ch 1* five times. Sl st to join. Close the magic circle.

Attach the second colour. You will carry along your first colour while you work this row.

Row 2: Working in the ch sp before the join, make 1 stacked DC and 1 DC.

Make (2 DC, ch 1, 2 DC) in each ch sp across. When you reach the first ch sp of the row, make 2 DC and ch 1. Sl st to join.

Change colours. You will carry along your second colour and switch occasionally between the two.

Row 3: Working in the ch sp before the join, make 1 stacked DC and 1 DC. Switch to Colour B.

In the space between the DC clusters of the previous row, make 2 DC. Switch to Colour A. In the ch sp, make (2 DC, ch 1, 2 DC). Switch to Colour B.

This is how you’ll continue this row. Make 2 DC along the sides of the hexagon between the DC clusters with Colour B and (2 DC, ch 1, 2 DC) with Colour A in each corner ch sp. At the end, with Colour A, make 2 DC, ch 1 and sl st to join.

Row 4: With Colour B, working in the ch sp before the join, make 1 stacked DC and 1 DC. Switch to Colour A.

For this row, make 2 DC along the sides of the hexagon between the DC clusters with Colour A and (2 DC, ch 1, 2 DC) with Colour B in each corner ch sp. At the end, with Colour B, make 2 DC, ch 1 and sl st to join.

Row 5: With Colour A, working in the ch sp before the join, make 1 stacked DC and 1 DC. Switch to Colour B.

For this row, make 2 DC along the sides of the hexagon between the DC clusters by alternating between Colours A and B and (2 DC, ch 1, 2 DC) with Colour A in each corner ch sp. At the end, with Colour A, make 2 DC, ch 1 and sl st to join.
