Bean Stitch. Berry Stitch. Blanket Stitch. Blended Arrows Stitch. A while back, I was Christmas shopping and ran across a crochet book. I flipped through it, and was generally unimpressed, but I did see one afghan pattern that was interesting. I decided not to buy the book because out of dozens of patterns only one was something I'd want and it was over twenty dollars. Earlier this week, I recalled the pattern and decided to try it out as I remembered it. The first attempt was a disaster. There was no way that I would make an entire blanket in the simplistic way the pattern called for, but I liked the overall look, so I got out some paper and figured out a way to make it work. In any case, the idea of long stitches to blend colors together has merit. Some modifications you could try are to skip rows 7-12, which would change the shape of the arrows (to something non-arrow-like) and have them all go in one direction, or to expand it to having lsc7, with an extra row of sc and ch 1 sp, which would make the arrows change direction on their own.
Broomstick Lace Tutorial. This is a very wordy and picture-ey tutorial because it is a pretty involved process, so please bear with me! I’ll break it into four parts: Tips, Starting the Base, Working the First Row of Loops, and Making the First Row of Lace. This is gonna be intense . . . Ready? You can do it, I know you can! Be patient with yourself. You can start your first “loop” row right after you make your chain, but I find it is easier to make a more sturdy “base layer” with a row of single crochet. After you finish your base row of single crochet, pull up a big loop with your hook (through the last stitch you just made). Remove your hook and set it aside for now. Okay, here’s where everything gets awkward. For “loop” rows, always work through the back loops only of the single crochets.
Pull that yarn through – make the loop as big as you want – and at the same time, slide your middle finger down the hook so it is also in the loop: Next, insert your ring finger into the loop as well. Yarn over: . . . . . . Broomstick Lace in the Round. This is part four of our broomstick lace series.

How to Crochet: Cable stitch {3-dc Cross-over} We used the cable stitch in this week’s square for the Block a Week CAL 2014, and I loved it so much that I thought I should do a tutorial on it (and use it in some patterns while I’m at it). The crochet cable stitch, or 3-dc cross-over, is worked over 4 st’s. It is tricky to work this stitch into a foundation chain, so I suggest starting with a base row/round with multiples of 4 st’s.
If you need help figuring out how many chains to make for your required/preferred base row/round, see this post by Rhonda from OombawkaDesign. Working in Rounds/Spirals When working in rounds, start with a base round with multiples of 4 st’s. This stitch does not lend itself well to increasing in the round, but is perfect for things like cowls or boot-cuffs where each round has the same number of stitches. Working in Rows When working in rows, start with a base row that has multiples of 4 (+2) st’s. You can find the patterns for these dishcloths here. Example. Charted Picture Afghans.

Cross-Over Long Double Crochet (DC) The cross-over long double crochet is made by backtracking behind stitches that are already made. It can be made on the current row or round as well as into one or more rows/rounds below the current row/round. For this tutorial I worked the stitch into the current round. Depending on the pattern designer, this stitch may also be referred to as a cable stitch. The stitch creates a nice texture on both the front and back sides of the crocheted fabric. It is suitable for making bags and purses, afghans, sweaters, hats, scarves and many other crocheted projects. I have several patterns in the works with this stitch, and will post the links below as I publish them. To make the stitch, yarn over and insert the hook from front to back into designated stitch.

Crocheting culicues are one of the most simple and fun things I've made in a while...oh and they are addicting too! For this I'm using an H hook and some worsted weight yarn I had laying around (here's a hat pattern for you I made a while back with this yarn) To begin, make a chain as long as you would like your curlicue to be plus 3 chains (the one shown here is 20+3), Then make one dc in the 4th chain from the hook, In the same chain, make another dc... Now make 3 dc in each chain until you get to the end (here is how it looks about halfway through), See the curlicue starting to emerge? Love it! Dotted Doubles Crochet Tutorial. I think that I tend to prefer crochet patterns and stitches that don’t lend themselves well to changing colors for a very lazy reason.
I hate weaving in the ends. In fact, my grandmother doesn’t even do it, instead knotting the ends like crazy and trimming them up. I must admit in my earlier days of crochet it is what I did as well, not knowing any better, and I’d get frustrated when an afghan I worked ages on unraveled after a couple of rounds in the washer and dryer. Which is why I now weave in my ends religiously. But I prefer pretty patterns full of color appearance-wise. And this lovely pattern, the dotted doubles is chock full of pretty color that’s simple to achieve with some single and double crochets and totally worth the end weaving time… I use an H hook but use whatever is comfortable for you.
Make your chain in multiples of 3. Turn and in the fourth chain from the hook, begin double crochet stitches all of the way to the end. **Change colors and chain 3. See where I link up.

Lazy Waves. I just love these Crochet Lazy Waves. They work up quickly and the pattern is simple without being monotonous. I will be posting the pattern for my Lazy Waves Blanket in the next couple of days. In the meantime, have fun! Update: The pattern for the Lazy Waves Blanket can now be found HERE. There are plenty of wave patterns around. In some the waves are formed by working 2 rows in mirror image so that each “wave” is formed by 2 of the same stitches on top of each other (so sc on sc, dc on dc, etc.). Both these methods have a distinct advantage.
This tutorial will show you how to make waves by repeating one row over and over again. Although this tutorial is specifically written for changing colours at the end of each row, I have also included instructions for working into the front/back loop only to add some definition when working in a single colour. There are two teeny tiny annoyances: Your work won’t have a clear “front” and “back”, unless you work those tails away very sloppily.
Notes. Linen Stitch. I know this stitch as the Linen Stitch, but have also seen it called the Moss Stitch (although the Moss stitch as I know it is slightly different). You might know it by a different name, and if you do, please let me know. It is one of the simplest stitch patterns to master and yields a pretty, woven, dense fabric. The reason it is so simple is that you don’t even have to know how to work into the loops of the single crochet stitches, because you will be working into the ch-1 spaces between single crochet stitches instead. This stitch is excellent for working up a quick and easy chunky baby blanket and it is so much prettier than just regular old single crochet stitches. You can use any yarn/hook combination your heart desires. Using a single strand of light worsted weight (double knit) and a 1 cm crochet hook, for example, will yield a very “holey”, loose blanket (you can see this post about my Rainbow Blanket if you want to see what I’m talking about.

Row 3: turn ch 1, *sc in the chain space, ch 1* repeat until row complete. Row 4-how ever many you want to do is a repeat of Row 3.
