Crochet number 4 pattern

So back to crocheting numbers after a break of few days, I honestly got bored of crocheting numbers and letters but because I promised that I will be making them for March, I had to continue.

So this pattern is on how to make the number 4 the normal way ( thin) and further down I explain how I made it the wider way like in the picture and the video, so you choose which one to make.

The size of the number depends in the beginning chains, so from that you make a big or small number and also the type of yarn you use and crochet hook, I recommend using the crochet hook number matching the yarn type for a better looking crochet work.

In my tutorial I have used a cotton yarn and 3MM crochet hook.

at the end of row 15, ch4 and join to the other end of the number. sc in every st, continue chaining 5

Row 16: sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, sc in every ch and every st.

Fasten off, the number 4 is complete.

For the wider look number, the difference is on the side panel, so from row 5 to 15, on the outer side you will start with 2sc and the inner side ( end of the row) only 1 sc, the extending of the panel is only happening from the outer side.
