Howdy Banner
5mm hook, worsted weight yarn (sugar and cream cotton)
Pattern Overview
About the Pattern
This is a fun cowgirl boot pattern with the text, “Howdy “ above! The main part of the piece was made using single crochet, but the border was done at the end using half double crochet. In addition to the border, I added a ruffled edge on the bottom. To achieve this, simply place 3 double crochets in each stitch. If you want it less ruffly, go down to 2.
Below you’ll find two options for a pattern. The graph and one that is written out! If you have any questions or notice any issues with the pattern, feel free to message me on Instagram @destiny.makes or comment below.

To finish, half-double crochet around entire piece in the primary color (e.g. brown ‘B’)
I also attach a dowel to the top of my pieces using this technique.
Key:
B = Main Color (Brown)
W = Background Color (White)
RS = Right Side (The front side of your work
WS = Wrong Side (The back side of your work)
