MAKE IT YOURS/ Change the tone of this make by switching the white yarn for a darker shade, like gray or black.

Tips

Sew on the buttons securely; if your yarn needle doesn’t pass easily through the button’s hole, try using a needle and matching sewing cotton instead.

Changing yarn color so frequently leaves lots of ends to weave in; hold the ends of the yarn against the work as you change color, and work the stitches to secure the ends as you go.

FOR THE BORDER

Round 1: With RS facing, using a US size I/9 (5.5mm) hook, join yarn A in first st after first corner of either long side, ch1, work a sc border around entire edge of work, working approx. 2sc in each row end, 1sc in each stitch and ch along top and bottom edges, and (1sc, ch1, 1sc) in each corner, join with a sl st in first sc.

Round 2: Ch1, *1sc in each st to next corner, (1sc, ch1, 1sc) in corner; rep from * twice more, create buttonholes as foll: 1sc in each of next 5 sts, ch6, 1sc in each of next 32 sts, ch6, 1sc in each of next 32 sts, ch6, 1sc in each st to next corner, (1sc, ch1, 1sc) in corner, join with a sl st in first sc.

Fasten off.

Making up and finishing

Weave in all ends and block as desired to neaten.

With WS facing, fold crochet panel in half, aligning two shorter edges, and join two side seams by working 1sc in each st, working through both layers.

Fasten off.

Sew on buttons to correspond with buttonholes.
