Spike single crochet (SPsc) – Worked as a regular single crochet, only for the spike single crochet, you
work into the corresponding stitch one or more rounds below, creating a longer decorative stitch. Always
draw the yarn up so that the top of the stitch is exactly where the top would be if this was a regular single
crochet. In this pattern I`ve used my own abbreviation system that makes reading the pattern easier:
SPsc-1 – spike single crochet 1 round down

SPsc-2 – spike single crochet 2 rounds down

SPsc-3 – spike single crochet 3 rounds down

SPsc-4 – spike single crochet 4 rounds down

SPsc-5 – spike single crochet 5 rounds down
