Gauge: About 7 grids = 4” (10 cm) wide and 5” (12.5 cm) high.

The simple stitch used for this project combined with the crisp ribbon-like silk yarn will make even a newbie crocheter look like a pro. In just a few easy evenings, a luscious length of spun gold will magically appear off of your hook. Add a scalloped edge of silver beads to take the opulence one step further. If your recipient is not a flashy gal, try a dry linen or a raw silk yarn and trim the ends with beads that have a subtle matte finish.
