Welcome back to the 2nd week of Let’s Mingle CAL.
Last Friday morning, I was so anxious about the feedback the first part of this CAL would receive. I wasn’t sure if I had chosen the right pattern to be released at the beginning of the event. I didn’t want to turn people away from this CAL by finding it too hard to follow.
But I was extremely delighted with the feedback I received. I have read each and every comment I got on social media and hopefully, I haven’t missed anyone and have replied to all.
And so for this week, I am still keeping it simple. No textures yet 😉
Rain drop pattern is a repeat of 4 rows. In the video tutorial, I started with 35 foundation chains. If you want to begin the project with the chainless foundation row, you will need to crochet 34 chainless single crochet stitches (If you are new to this technique, this tutorial should be helpful).
This stitch is double-sided; so there is no right or wrong side. I like the wider “V” shape side and this is what I used as my right side for the sample blanket.
You can also alternate your squares, by using each side at a time if you like.
When working a couple of rows below your current row, it is very important to control your tension to keep your work flat as you work up your rows. Otherwise, your square will tend to curl towards one side.
One more option that I forgot to mention on the video (and it’s there for all the CAL tutorials) is that if you check the description box you will find the video timeline written. This should be helpful if you are coming back to check a specific row as you don’t have to watch the whole thing again to get to where you need.
New to the CAL? Never too late to join 😊. Here are the links to the previous pattern:
