Crochet Envelope Pattern
Begin with a long 24″ (61cm) tail.
Row 1: Make 23 FHDC. Ch 1. Turn
Row 2-16: HDC in each stitch. Ch 1. Turn = 23 HDC stitches
Row 17: HDC in the next 19 stitches. Chain 2. Skip 2 stitches. HDC in last 2 stitches. Chain 1. Turn. (this row makes the button hole). = 21HDC + 2 CH stitches
Row 18: HDC in the next 2 stitches. 2 HDC in the Chain 2 space, HDC in remaining 19 stitches. Chain 1. Turn. = 23 HDC stitches
Row 19. HDC in each stitch. Fasten off, weave in this end, but not the long, starting tail. = 23 HDC stitches
Use the long starting tail to form the envelope, using the photo tutorial below.
