Stitch of the Day #15 - Trinity Stitch

Here's another fairly simple stitch. Beginners don't need to know much, just how to chain and single crochet. Very basic.

My versions of the stitch:

The first attempt went sideways. I chained 20, but kept ending up with an extra stitch which went unused in the first row, no matter what. I decided to let it go and just do the stitch, work out the problem later.

This is using my Red Heart Super Saver Stripes yarn. I chained 20 here.

After reviewing my PDF instructions, I realized I was not starting the clusters in the stitch where my last cluster ended. So I tried again and, voila! No more missing that last stitch!!!

I used Bernat Living yarn for the second attempt. It came out much better! I chained 40 here. 

Comparison of the swatches.

Here is the video tutorial by Creative Grandma. I used it as a way to help me see what the PDF pattern told me.

The PDF pattern can be found here for the Trinity Stitch.

UPDATE:

I made this as a beginning to a placemate... not sure if I'm into it being that big...
