Step 2: Adding the Border Around the Bottom

  4. Continue on the Opposite Side:
    • Repeat the same process to complete the border, ensuring the sides have 15 SC stitches, and the longer edges have 45 SC stitches each.

    Tip: The entire border should end with 120 single crochet stitches.

3: Starting the Mesh Body

Row 1: Mesh Pattern

  1. Start with Chain 1:
    • At the corner, create a special doll stitch cluster for the edge.
      • Doll Cluster: Yarn over, insert the hook into the marked stitch, pull up a loop (repeat this three times in the same stitch). Yarn over again and pull through all loops on the hook to form one complete cluster. End with a chain stitch. Repeat once more in the same stitch.
