      Learn to Do Bavarian Crochet - Jenny King

      Special Stitches

      Treble (tr): See Stitch Guide.

      Front post treble (fptr): See Stitch Guide.

      Large Shell (lg shell): (4 tr, {ch 1, 4 tr} twice) in place indicated.

      Small Shell (sm shell): (4 tr, ch 1, 4 tr) in place indicated.

      4-treble cluster (4-tr cl): Holding last lp of each st on hook (see photo 1), 4 tr in place indicated, yo, pull through all lps on hook (see photo 2).

      4-back post treble decrease (4-bptr dec): Holding back last lp of each st on hook, bptr (see Stitch Guide) around each of next 4 sts, yo, pull through all lps on hook (see photo 3).

      The 4-bptr dec is always worked on a 4-tr group of the same shell.

      8-back post treble decrease (8-bptr dec): *Holding back last lp of each st on hook, bptr around each of next 4 sts*, sk sc between shells and working on next shell, rep between * once, yo, pull through all lps on hook.

      The 8-bptr dec is always worked using the last 4-tr group of 1 shell and the first 4-tr group of the next shell (see photo 4).

      If you find it difficult to hold all of the stitches on your hook when working the 8-bptr dec, you might try using an afghan or double-ended hook for added length.

      HOW TO MAKE A BASIC SQUARE USED IN BAVARIAN SQUARE AFGHAN, SHRUG AND BAG.

      Rnd 1: With first color, ch 5, sl st in first ch to form ring, ch 1, [sc in ring, ch 5, 4-tr cl (see Special Stitches) in ring, ch 5] 4 times (see photo 1), join with sl st in beg sc (see photo 2). (8 ch-5 sps, 4 sc, 4 4-tr cls)

      Join with slip stitch as indicated unless otherwise stated.

      First ch of ch-5 made after working either a cluster or a bptr dec is actually the locking stitch. This ch forms the o at the top of the stitch that will be worked into on the next row or rnd.

      Working into the top of the stitch in this manner forms the appearance that all of the stitches of both the shell and the cluster or decrease are worked in the same place. If you work the shell in the wrong place, it will change the way the center of the square looks (see top of st photo).

      For ease in counting, the first ch of the ch-5 after a cluster or decrease is not included as part of the cluster or decrease, but is counted as part of the ch-5, even though you will be using it as the top of the stitch when working the next row or rnd.

      Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in first sc, ch 2, lg shell (see Special Stitches) in top of next 4-tr cl (see photo 3), ch 2, [sc in next sc, ch 2, lg shell in top of next 4-tr cl, ch 2] 3 times, join in beg sc (see photo 4). Fasten off. (8 ch-2 sps, 4 large shells, 4 sc)
