Scrap Busting Corner2Corner Lapghan!!

May 30, 2014 By Beatrice Ryan Designs Leave a Comment

Crochet is my therapy!!! Is that how you feel?? Things are over the top crazy here in my home…

With my youngest graduating high school and getting ready to head to college… Life is crazy!! Lots of “lasts” have been happening the last few weeks… Last prom, Last choir concert, Last awards banquet, Last child turning 18, Last sporting event and in just a few days the last high school graduation! I have been so caught up in the whirlwind I haven’t had much “ME TIME”! Luckily I have had an hour or so to crochet each night… But with all that is going on, I have only worked on projects that are auto pilot…

Auto Pilot Projects are the best therapy!! Last night I finished up one of my favorite auto pilot projects… A C2C lapghan!! If you aren’t familiar with that term.. it is a Corner to Corner pattern!! Once you get started… you can just relax and crochet.. no looking back at the pattern! I was able to work on it each evening and watch my favorite shows!! I grabbed several of my half used skeins of yarn and made a perfect size lapghan for covering up on a chilly summer evening!! Here in my little mountain town it can get pretty cool in the evenings and this blanket works perfectly!!

If you would like to try one of these fun stash busting afghans… I found the pattern on Ravelry… It comes with several language translations… English being one of them…. Lots of pictures and hand drawn graphs… The pattern is written out as well but states it uses UK terms… No Biggie… she explains it all! Click Here for the pattern! You can also head over to Youtube and find some great videos too!! Have fun and do a little stash busting!!

Happy Crocheting!!

Click Here to save this fun pattern to your Ravelry queue and favorites!!

Materials:

1 pair of 30mm Stainless Steel~Hypoallergenic Hoop Earrings

1.90 mm Steel Crochet Hook (or desired size)

2 Yards of Size 10 Crochet Thread

Scissors

Glue – Jewelry Glue, E600 or Weldit All Purpose Glue (for non-porous and porous surfaces)

Stitches:

Ch – Chain

Sl St – Slip Stitch

Sc – Single Crochet

Dc – Double Crochet

Sk – Skip

St – Stitch

Instructions:

Join thread with Sl St around hoop.

Row 1: Ch 1, 25 Sc’s across hoop. (Work Sc’s over the tail of the thread) = 25 Sc

Simple Summertime Crochet Earrings SC round

Row 2: Turn, Ch 3 (Counts as 1st Dc), * Sk next St, Dc in next St*, Repeat across (This will draw the stitches closer together and you will turn the work toward the inside of the hoop). = 13 Dc

Simple Summertime Crochet Earrings Dc Round

Row 3: Sl St to 1st Dc(Top of Ch 3) on opposite side to join. Sl St across to out side of hoop (approx 2-3 Sl Sts). Ch 1, Sc on outside of hoop and in-between each St on the outside of hoop. =25 Sc. Sl st to end. Finish off. Weave tail in.

Simple Summer Crochet Earrings Finishing Round

With glue, Pull back the stitches slightly on each side and add a very small amount of the glue… Move the stitches back in place and hold for a minute. This will secure the crochet into place so it will not slip off of the hoop.

Repeat for the second hoop.
