IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CUPS (x2 identical)
STEP 1
a) 15 chain stitches
b) 16 chain stitches
c) 17 chain stitches
STEP 2
Make 1 double crochet in each chain stitch.
Each row of double crochet begins with 3 chain stitches, which count as the first double crochet of the row.
You will have : a) 15 – b) 16 – c) 17 stitches.
STEP 3
Work along both sides of the first row as follows: make 1 double crochet in each double crochet from the previous row. Then, on the side of the last double crochet, make 1 double crochet, 2 chain stitches, and 1 double crochet. Finish by making 1 double crochet in each stitch of the foundation chain.
Result : a) 34 – b) 36 – c) 38 stitches.

Each row gradually increases the number of stitches and shapes the cup :
💡 Principle : increases at the edges + around the chain spaces to create the cup curve.
Row 3 : Make 1 double crochet in each stitch until 2 stitches before the chain space (15 / 16 / 17 double crochets). In the 2nd stitch before the chain space, make 2 double crochets (increase). Skip the stitch just before the chain space. In the chain space, make 2 double crochets, 1 chain stitch, 2 double crochets. Skip the stitch just after the chain space.
