In The Dawn

by WP Site | posted in: Uncategorized | 1

Hello everyone,

Are you getting ready for the long weekend?
If you are like me, with no plans of camping this weekend, I have a new motif pattern to keep you busy. I have been working and frogging this motif all the past week to an extent that I woke up one day and I was counting the stitches in my dreams 😂😂.

So the story behind the name is nothing special other than the fact that I finally managed to put the pattern into writing at 5.30 am 😆. I always have difficulty in coming up with names for my patterns but this one was a piece of cake.. Yay, one thing off my list 😄.

So for this pattern, I used Caron Simply Soft yarn and a 5.5 mm hook. The final motif is around 6″ diagonally.

In the video, I used 2 different shades of green so you can easily see where the corners are joined on camera but in my humble opinion I like the one color sample more (however, I’ll be excited to see the color combination you’ll be using to crochet yours)

I will leave you here with the written, have a lovely weekend!

by WP Site | posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Happy Sunday!

I’m over the moon with the feedback I’m getting on “Around the Rosie” pattern. To all who wrote me comments, saved and put the pattern into their queues, a big thank you 💓💓.

Some have shown interest into making a blanket with the pattern and requested the steps on how to turn it into a square.

I have a video demonstrating the steps right here for you.

If you are interested into the written pattern, here are the steps:

Hdc half double crochet
SC Single Crochet
Sl St Slip Stitch
sc-blo single crochet in the back loop only

Tr-blo Treble in the back loop only

Notes:
Each round ends with a slip stitch to join
Chain (X), where (x) is the number of stitches, at the beginning of each round is NOT considered a stitch
At the end of each round, the total number of stitches will be mentioned between brackets
(No) Stitch name (e.g. 2 dc): Means 2 double crochet stitches in the same stitch
Stitch name x (No) – e.g. dc x 3: Means one double crochet stitch in the next 3 stitches
