I don't know about you, but the color of seafoam is so relaxing to me. It brings to mind a beautiful summer day on a sunny beach with waves foaming on the sand. The smell of the fresh water and sound of waves and birds chirping....Ahhhh
Enjoy the refreshing summer breeze in your home with the beautiful Sea Breeze Home Decor crochet pattern collection.

If you prefer to work a basic chain, chain to the desired amount + 2, turn and hdc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across until you reach the correct hdc count for the foundation

If you are unfamiliar with how to begin with standing stitches, you can use the following: ch 1, sc in very first st; ch 2, skip very first st to be counted as a hdc; ch 3, skip very first st to be counted as a dc; If you would like to learn how to work these stitches, you can find a great tutorial here:
