Hello dear, how are your projects coming along? It's time for an update of the Mood blanket 2014 project::: I know that is not such a big project, because I do only four squares every month but I am enjoy my blanket making! Crochet granny squares is so relaxing and in my imaginary represent sentimental ties and family love.
I'll been inspired by spring colour doing April and May squares::: so there is a lot of green!
I show you the June squares inspired to the sea colour:::look back on our last holiday on Isola d'Elba!
Hello dear! How is your week going? Last time I promised you the pictures of my ongoing project but first let me show you my finished baby blanket!
I madethis blanket for the newborn baby boy of my friend. I don't want to do use the classic blue so I try to combine different colors in order to obtain a rainbow effect::: I used either the authentic seven, in the order of the spectrum and I added some color to encompass more shades. Finally I want to hook a simple trim all along the edges... but I don't want to overload the pattern design.Sorry ladies, I find the pattern somewhere in the web, and I'm not able to find again so don't have the original to show you but I made a symbolic crochet chart (see below). In addition I find a very similar pattern here
For this project I used a 5mm hook:::
Chain::: CH
Double crochet::: DC
Half Double crochet::: HDC
Foundation chain: you’ll need to crochet a chain of a multiple of 8 stitches plus another 10 chains for the beginning and turning.
Row1: DCin the 4th chain from the hook, and in each chain until the end, CH 3 and turn.
Row 2:Using a hearts colour fix the yarn where indicated by the star in the chart; CH 1, *skip 2 stiches, [3DC, 1CH, 3DC] in the next stich , CH 3*.*Repeat till the end of the row until you have 6 stiches left.
Row3: CH 3 of the row one count as a DC. Double crochetin the next 4 stiches. *CH 2, HDC in the next chain, CH 2, DCin the next 3 stiches*. *Repeat till the end of the row until you have 6 stiches left. DC in each of the next 6 stiches, CH 3 and turn.
Row4: DC in each chain until the end, CH 3 and turn.
Row5: Using a hearts colour fix the yarn where indicated by the star in the chart; *skip 2 stiches, [3DC, 1CH, 3DC] in the next stich , CH 3*.*Repeat till the end of the row until you have 2 stiches left. Row6: CH 3 of the row4 count as a DC.*CH 2, HDC in the next chain, CH 2, DCin the next 3 stiches*. *Repeat till the end of the row until you have 2 stiches left. DC in each of the next 2 stiches, CH 3 and turn.
I hope everything is clear enough and enjoy making your own heart blankets!
Hello there! I realize that I have a lot of work in progress ongoing and It's time for an update! This two weeks has come around so quickly... I have some days off and I can visit my parents near Rome.
