Inspired by my Egyptian heritage and my time spent by the Nile, as well as Ancient Egyptian drawings of farming along the Nile river, this set is perfect for climates with variable temperatures. This pattern is worked in turned rows and is a great introduction to crocheting backwards!

Gauge

• 16 stitches and 16 rows = 4” / 10 cm in herringbone stitch, using US H-8 / 5 mm hook, blocked
• 16 stitches and 20 rows = 4” / 10 cm in moss stitch, using US K-10.5 / 6.5 mm hook, blocked

It is important to swatch both stitches, as a difference in stitch gauge between the two can lead to warping and fit issues.
