Tecla Crochet Box

“TECLA CROCHET BOX” – CROCHET PATTERN BY HILARIA FINA

Pre-Roman populations in the Northwest of Iberian Peninsula lived in villages called “castros” (fort). These villages could be in incredible places, on hilltops or right on the seacoast. Houses architecture is circular, they are grouped in an apparently chaotic urbanism that adapts itself to the natural slopes of the land, with a total lack of urban plan organization. 

INSPIRATION + DESIGN

How useful and nice are the little boxes to keep things anywhere at home. In your room, bathroom or living room.  At sight or inside a wardrobe or a drawer. Big, small or medium. One, two or three. Made of T-shirt yarn, raffia or cotton. You decide how your Tecla is, so let your imagination run free and  start to create.

STITCHES AND TECHNIQUES USED

MAGIC RING
Wrap yarn around two fingers, leaving 7cm long tail. Insert hook right to left under the two rows and pick the strand up (the one that leads to the skein), pulling the yarn back under the two rows, YO and pull through the loop (do not count as first stitch). Keep working the following stitches into the ring. Remove the ring from your fingers and pull the tail end to tight the ring.

SLIP STITCH (abbrev. slst)
Insert hook in stitch, YO and pull through both loops on hook at once.

SINGLE CROCHET (abbrev. sc)
Insert hook in stitch, YO and pull through the stitch (2 loops on hook), YO and pull through both loops on hook at once.

THROUGH FRONT LOOP (abbrev. tfl)
The front loop is the loop closest to you.

INCREASE INVISIBLE (abbrev. inc)
To make an invisible increase, you are still making 2 single crochet in same stitch. The difference is the first single crochet of the increase is made through front loop of the stitch you are working in. Then, you work the second single crochet of the increase through both the front and back loops of the stitch.

INVISIBLE FASTEN OFF
Cut yarn, pull the yarn tail through the last stitch completely and thread yarn tail onto yarn/tapestry needle. Skip one stitch then insert needle into the next stitch under booth loops of the second stitch of the last round. Next, insert needle back into the same stitch that the yarn tail is coming from but into the back loop only. This creates a closing stitch. Weave tail into wrong side before trimming.

NOTES

• This pattern is written in US terminology.
• This pattern is worked bottom-up.
• When you crochet spiral rounds, you start with a magic ring and you will go on work in a continuos spiral. This means, you continue to crochet directly into the first stitch of the previous round to star the next round. 
• You should mark the first stitch of the round to keep track of where the round begins.
