Are you ready for some crocheting?? I am, and I am so excited I can hardly stand it!!! I’ve purchased my yarn,,, Designed the Afghan and whipped up the first week of the project…I thought I better get ahead, start to work out any kinks and make sure it will be a fun and easy pattern! So here we go!!! First I will list the materials needed,,,Then the stitches we will be using so you can be prepared… Don’t worry… These are all basic stitches and combinations of stitches to make some really fun textures! If there is any slightly tricky areas,,, I will post photo tutorials!! Also tonight,,, I will post a few thoughts about the afghan…
Materials:
2500-3000 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn – 4 to 5 Colors, with one of the colors being your neutral or dominate( Neutral or Dominate being something like Black, White, Cream, Brown, Navy, Gray) *I am using Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand Yarn
Hook- I or preferred hook for drape of project
Yarn Needle
Scissors
And… A whole lot of fun!!!!
Stitches:
Ch-Chain Sl St-Slip Stitch Sc-Single Crochet Hdc-Half Double Crochet Dc-Double Crochet Trc-Triple Crochet
Decorative stitches may include- Twisted Stitches, Popocorn, Bobbles, Shells and Reverse Sc
Thoughts about our upcoming CAL Afghan:
This afghan can be made using scrap yarns or a specific color scheme. In either case you will need one main color through-out (the neutral or dominate color) and 2-4 other colors.
You can use an optional size hook such as G-K depending on how you like the drape of your Afghans… I like using an I Hook, but feel free to use what you like. Keep in mind this may change the overall size of the project.
This afghan will be an average size throw, but it can be made smaller by ending at any point your prefer.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
Each Saturday I will post a segment of the pattern here. You can come back any time and click on the Crochet-A-Long tab at the top of the page to view pattern sections.
