This little beach is another addition to my Crochet Road Playmat and measures 2 squares x 2 squares if you have been following along (20cm x 20cm approx.), and fits perfectly with all the other squares from my previous tutorials. If you are new to this Road Play Mat crochet-a-long you can find all the links you need at the bottom of this post.
Please note that when the pattern calls for joining a new colour at 'end of stitch' this means when working the last st in your old colour, before you pull through all three loops, yarn over with your new colour and pull through all three loops with your new colour.
For this pattern will be using an E/4 3.5 mm crochet hook and DK/Light Worsted weight yarn (yarn weight of 3) in the following colours;
G = Green
C = Cream
B = Blue
This pattern is in US terminology.
