On Saturday, a friend of mine handed me an old, crocheted coat hanger cover and asked me if I knew how it was done. Mmm, no. I said I'd have a go at figuring it out. It was easy to see that the white part was done second, but how was the middle zig zag done? It took me a while to figure out that there's a central chain and then two sides of shells are worked down the chain separately, with a double crochet between each pair of shells. Single crochet in American terms. Mine looks a bit more pointy than the original, but I think that can be corrected by working one chain between shells instead of two. I've sent Jenni notes about the method and I'm going back to knitting socks.
