The Amazing Grace Free Crochet Pattern Series is dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness and my dearest friend Sandra Kay Gilb. Sandra and I were childhood friends and inseparable until the end. We shared our lives in so many ways, marriages, births of our children, tragedies and more good times than anyone could ever ask for. Sandra passed away in 2007 from Breast Cancer. This was a devastating loss and spurred my passion for Breast Cancer Awareness! At the age of 43 Sandra was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, the same disease that took her mother’s life many years earlier and claimed Sandra’s life in less than 2 years. Each Amazing Grace Pattern is designed to comfort cancer patients as they are treated and recovering from this or any disease!! Please pay it forward by donating items made from these patterns to help someone afflicted by this disease.

We are now on week 5 and about half way done… This week we are working on the middle strip and in the next few weeks, we will be finishing up and getting the edging done!! Are you ready to see what it looks like?? Let’s get started!
Here is my Progress Picture using Loops and Threads Impeccable Yarn…

Here is my Progress Picture using Red Heart Unforgettable…
.
This week it is very simple (once again)! We will be working a Color Block Strip!! Below I will give you the stitch counts and color tips…
*Tip:
If you are using Traditional Color Changes you will divide the total rows by how many colors you are working with and that will give you the a good idea of how many rows to make in each color… But you can change as often as you like to make your middle strip unique!
If you are using Self-Striping yarn… No Worries!! Let the yarn do the work for you!!
Strip measures approx. 10″ wide(yes, wider than the previous strips) and you will work the length of your previous strips… Approx 115 Rows
Remember… Your strip will grow with the weight of the finished strip… So the first half of the strip may seem a little short, but it will be fine when you are done. You can add or subtract a couple of rows if needed at the end.
Instructions:
Using an I hook (or the hook you have been using), Chain 31.
Row 1: Hdc in the 3rd Ch from hook and each Ch across. = 30 Hdc
Row 2: Ch 2(counts as Hdc now and throughout), Turn, Hdc in each St across. = 30 Hdc
Row 3- 115: Repeat Row 2
Finish Off.
Yay.!!!! Week 5 is done!! I hope you have loved this and now you can see how this afghan is all fitting together!!
Don’t forget…. Wednesday evening 6pm PST is our Facebook Show and Tell… Post your pictures and lets chat about this CAL!! See you then!!
Happy Crocheting!!
