Curtain Tie-Back

this turned out to be very pretty...I've also used it as a border on pillows and blankets

sport weight yarn (small amount)
3.5 mm crochet hook

ch 100 (or desired length)
row 1: hdc in 2nd ch from hook,hdc in each chain across. turn
+work in back loops only from now until finished+
row 2: ch 2, hdc in 1st st *ch1,sk 1 st, hdc in next st* repeat to end. turn
row 3: ch 2, hdc in 1st st, hdc in each st and ch across. turn
row 4: ch 1, *(sc and hdc in 1st st, hdc and dc in next st, dc and trc in next st, trc and dc in next st, dc and hdc in next st, hdc and sc in next st)  repeat from * to end.  fasten off.

if you want a wider tie, just repeat rows 2 and 3 to desired width (ending with row 3) 1
