I love this stitch. Can you make a blanket from it?
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a fun scarf tutorial - all I can make are baby hats, because it's easy to keep going around in circles :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I love this... I started it last night ans i cant put it down :o) thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa,
ReplyDeleteI think your chart does not match your instructions. The chart shows a 3 dc in the middle of the previous row 3 dc, but in the video you only put 1. Then in the previous row individual dc, you cluster 3. Am I reading the chart all wrong? I am not good at them.
I agree with anonymous...it does not seem as if the chart matches the instructions on the video.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there's two variations of the stitch pattern. One has the 3 dcs in the middle of the previous row 3 dc (the second chart), while the other has the 3 dcs in the individual one (the first chart).
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern and am working on a poncho type thing with it. I think your multiple that you list is wrong though. You state a multiple of four, but in your pattern you say to crochet a beginning chain of 26. 26 isn't a multiple of 4. It should be a multiple of 4 + 2. My beginning chain was 122 and it worked out nicely following your pattern. Have a great day and keep the patterns and inspiration coming!!!
ReplyDeleteI've just finished to creat a scarf from the first pattern, added flowers at both ends... came out wonderful...
ReplyDeleteAnd n genral - thank you for these posts - the combination of videos and patterns is great!
I just finished my first ever crochet project using this pattern! Thanks so much!
