Paw Print Stitch

Chain 7 + 2
Work a dc into 3rd chain from hook

This is just a guide to the sequence. Create your
first dc of each row using your favorite method.

Here is the sequence used in the video.
I’ll add “Paw” for st sequence used in each row.
Use the guide above for reference.


Chain a multiple of 10 + 3 + 2

R1 1 dc in each st across
R2 3 dc, *Paw R2, 3 dc. Repeat * across
R3 3 dc, *Paw R3, 3 dc. Repeat * across
R4 3 dc, *Paw R4, 3 dc. Repeat * across
R5 1 dc in each st across

To repeat same alignment , repeat rows 2 through 5 until completion.

To stagger your paws:

R6 8 dc, *Paw R2, 3dc. Repeat * across until 5 sts remain. 1 dc in last 5 sts
R7 8 dc, Paw R3, 3dc. Repeat across until 5 sts remain. 1 dc in last 5 sts.
R8 8 dc, *Paw R4, 3dc. Repeat *across until 5 sts remain. 1 dc in last 5 sts.
R9 1 dc in each st across

To continue repeat rows 2 through 9 until completion


If you notice an error please let me know.

Please note that this is more of a guide and I did not add the turn after each row.
I’m assuming you have watched the video and you know to turn after each row and create a dc in first st using your favorite method.
