To Make Coffee Bean Stitch

1. Chain 50; that is, make 50 chain stitches.

(b) Wrap (throw yarn over hook) and pull the hook through the stitch.

(d) Wrap. Put hook through the same chain stitch.

Wrap, and pull hook through the same stitch.

There will now be 6 stitches on the crochet needle.

(e) Throw yarn over hook, and draw it through the 6 stitches on the needle.

3. Chain 1.

4. Skip 1 chain stitch in the chain first made (see direction No. 1 above) and repeat direction No. 2. This will make another bean stitch.

Throw yarn over hook and proceed to make another bean. Chain 1, and skip 1 stitch and continue in this way to the end of the row.

To Make the Scallops:

1. Fasten the white wool in the first stitch of the top with single crochet.

2. Put 5 double crochets in the next stitch.

3. Skip 1 stitch and put 1 single crochet in the next stitch. (This will hold the scallop down.)

5. Attach pink yarn, and put 1 single crochet in the white single crochet.
