sakka-5 Fushigi Vase

Suggested yarn: • Pierrot Yarns Heat+ [100% polyester; 113 yds/103m per 1.41 oz./40g skein]; • color #12 fog pink, 1 skein [30g]

Tools/Notions: • 2.5mm (approx. US B or C) crochet hook or size necessary to achieve gauge

Finished measurements: • Please refer to finising schematic (measurements after blocking).

Gauge (10cm/4" square): • No gauge information is provided in the original pattern. Use hook size necessary to achieve finished measurements after blocking

Gauge may vary according to individual crochet style. Change hook size if necessary to achieve gauge. Alternatively, rework pattern with your own gauge measurements.

Summary ※Note: Take care not to touch the fabric with the iron when steam blocking to avoid ruining the stitch definition.

Bottom: Work magic ring to begin, then work bottom in sc in the round, increasing as indicated in chart.

Sides: Continue from bottom, working in sc in the round, increasing as indicated. After round 18, work 3 rounds in dc cluster stitch (work feet of the sts shorter than usual). On rounds 19 and 20, work sts into space between sts on previous round rather than into the top loops of those sts. Referring to chart, work decreases as indicated. Work last round in crab stitch.

Finishing: Work slip stitch along border between bottom and sides.

Set with heat: Place vase on a plate or other suitable blocking surface. Insert sticks or poles to support the shape of the base. Block with a steam iron, holding the steam close to the vase and rotating around vase to ensure the entire item is blocked.

Abbreviations: ch = chain dc = double crochet (US) m = magic ring/circle sc = single crochet (US)
