Paper Boat
35 × 46 · 1,610 stitches · 4 colors · by NaredCraft
About this pattern
A paper boat on a calm sea, folded the way you folded them as a kid, its sail split down the crease so one half sits in light and the other in shadow. Four colors, worked flat in single crochet with no shaping and no isolated stitches. Finishes around 22 by 29 cm, a nursery frame, a cushion front or a beach bag panel.

How to read it
Work flat in single crochet, from the bottom of the chart up. Chain 36 and work row 1 into the chain, starting in the second chain from the hook.
Row 1 is a right side (RS) row, worked from right to left. Turn, and row 2 is a wrong side (WS) row, worked from left to right. Keep alternating to the top.
Each entry is a run of one color: "12 X" means 12 single crochet in the color marked X. Carry the colors you are not using along the top of the row and crochet over them, and switch to the new color on the last yarn over of the stitch before it, so every stitch comes out clean.
