Week 21 of the Ray Of Hope crochet a long features the Cone stitch, also known as the Angel Wings Stitch. This is a very thick stitch that adds beautiful detail to all sorts of projects.

Although there are 7 rows of cones in the picture, I ended up only adding 6 rows of them too the pattern

The Border

Change to a 4mm hook for the border. Join Colour E (your joining colour) into the side of any stitch. Make 2 slst into the side of every dc row and 1 slst into the side of each sc row.

When you get to the tip of the ray, make 2 slst into 1 side, but when you turn only make 1 slst into the other side of the stitch. Continue to make 2 slst into the side of all other stitches.

You don’t need to add any extra stitches for the corners.

You should have 78 slst down one long side and 77 down the other, and 20 slst across the bottom.

Weave in your ends, and join the piece to week 20
