Panta

I am new to blogging. This is my first actually. So please bear with me.

I was on Ravelry and kept seeing wonderful panta's. The only problem was that the pattern was for knitting. I have tried , but knitting and I don't mix. I figured I could crochet one and set to work. Well here it is with the pattern in case any of you would enjoy making it.
My Crocheted Panta

I used Lion Brand Jiffy with a K-10/6.5mm hook

bpdc: Yo and insert hook from the back to the front around the post of the dc on the previous row. Complete as for regular dc.

fpdc: Yo and insert hook from the front to the back around the post of the dc on the previous row. Complete as for regular dc.

dc2tog (dc dec): Yarn over, insert hook into st and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops. Yarn over, insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through 2 loops, yarn over and draw through all loops on hook.
