WRITTEN PATTERN OF CAFE CURTAIN

I use 2 colors of Golo thread size 10 (ball size 250 yards/40 grams). Crochet hook is size 1.75 mm. The curtain rod is expandable 28-48 inches and 0.5-inch diameter.

My curtain measures about 28 inches wide and 8 inches long.

Abbreviations:
ch = chain
tr = triple crochet
tr3-cl = 3 triple crochet cluster
tr4-cl = 4 triple crochet cluster
sc = single crochet
dtr = double triple crochet

Special stitches:
tr3-cl = (yarn over twice, insert hook in the indicated stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, 4 loops on hook, yarn over, pull through first 2 loops, yarn over, pull through next 2 loops, leave last 2 loops on hook) 3 times, yarn over, pull through all 4 loops on hook.
tr4-cl = (yarn over twice, insert hook in the indicated stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, 4 loops on hook, yarn over, pull through first 2 loops, yarn over, pull through next 2 loops, leave last 2 loops on hook) 4 times, yarn over, pull through all 5 loops on hook.

Pattern notes:
- The pattern is multiple of 20 + 9, so for each additional repeat add 20 chains.
- For the border pattern to work, the piece needs multiple of 4 rows (my curtain has 72 rows).
