Simple Crocheted Swatch

Materials:

Worsted weight yarn (approximately 50g in vibrant orange)
Size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge: 14 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in single crochet. To measure gauge, create a small swatch of 10 stitches and measure it across the center to ensure you are achieving the correct stitch count.

Abbreviations:

ch = chain
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch

Instructions:

Foundation Chain: Start by making a slip knot and chaining 20 stitches. This will form the width of your swatch.
Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make 1 single crochet (sc). Continue making 1 sc in each chain across the row. You should have 19 single crochets at the end of this row. Turn your work.
Row 2: Chain 1 to begin the row. Make 1 sc in the first stitch, and continue making 1 sc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work. You will now have 19 stitches again.
Repeat Row 2: Repeat Row 2 for a total of 10 rows. This will add height to your swatch.
Finishing: When you have completed 10 rows, cut the yarn, leaving about a 6-inch tail. Pull the tail through the last stitch to secure it. Use the tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends on the side of your swatch. You can also lightly block this swatch to help shape it, making it look neat and tidy.

Optional Variation: Consider using different colors after every few rows to create a striped effect. Just attach the new color yarn by knotting it with the old color and continuing your project.

This simple crocheted swatch is not only a great foundational project but also a stepping stone to creating more complex items like scarves, blankets, or even coasters. Enjoy your crocheting journey!
