This is a pattern I like enough to seek out on the Wayback Machine.

36 foundation DC to start with

Converting to HDC because I forgot I did that before.

So:

6 rows of Row C.

Worked D three times, then worked one more row where I reduced only two stitches, to 22 total.

28 rows HDC to get to 14” .

Six rows of SC to finish so I can sew on buttons. This also gets me up to a total rise of 16”, which I prefer.

68 sts to start with on the side.

15 SC on second edging row, 53 DC

18 SC on third edging row, 19 front and back post DC, 8 grab-2.

4 grab-2, 14 front & back post DC. 23 SC

23 SC, 7 grab-2, 20 SC
