Lacy Crochet Stitch Pattern "Foliage"

This pattern is made using of unusual technique. When a swatch will be ready, you will notice that you get not  square, and rhombus. Therefore, we don't recommend to use this pattern for crocheting clothes. But if you will crochet a scarf, a stole or a shawl - the result may be very interesting.

For a swatch make chain stitches a multiple of 7, plus 1 chain for the symmetry, plus 1 turning chains. Rows are shown by different colors in the chart.

1 row: 1 turning chain, 1 single crochet, * 6 chains, 1 single crochet in 2nd chain from hook, in 3rd -  half double crochet, in 4th - double crochet, in 5th - treble crochet, in 6th - double treble crochet, then 1 single crochet in 7th chain of initial row (in next the odd rows 1 single crochet in slip stitch of previous row) *;

2 row: 5 turning chains, * 1 slip stitch in chain of previous row (in top of triangle), Then, make in series in chains of the previous row: single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, double treble crochet *, in end of row make double treble crochet in last single crochet of previous row.
