STITCH GUIDE

ch = chain

NOTES

*Some numbers may need to be shaped slightly while attaching to your project.

*Beginning chains do not count as stitches

*For double digit birthdays, I suggest using a DK Weight or Light Worsted Weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton & Bernat Handicrafter  to make the numbers above.

SPECIAL STITCHES

extended single crochet (esc) = insert hook in stitch, draw up a loop, YO, pull through first loop on hook, YO, pull through both loops on hook. This is used in place of a double crochet when starting a row.
