Crocheted wool eater blanket. Vintage fan ripple blanket. Waffle Crochet Blanket. You may remember in the Wash Your Washcloths post a dish cloth featured and I said I would show you the stitch.... Here 'tis. It's my all time go to for blankets. I know the granny is an old time favourite and looks really retro at the moment and it is OK for a climate like QLD, but this waffle type construction traps warm air and provides the cosiest rug of really robust construction. Ideal for the Tasmanian conditions. The best thing is there are very few rules and I find it uses up scrap wool effectively. If you want to make a dish cloth, use pure cotton and those lovely scrubby ridges give just the grunt you need on some of the tough jobs. For rugs, use whatever you want to use up. These are great for watching TV or emergency back up in the car. Whether you make a single or a king size, it's up to you and how many chain stitches you do.

I’m referring to the strikingly mesmerizing Apache Tears crochet pattern.

I’ve had quite a few enquiries in regards to this pattern, so today I thought I’d share my tips and technique with you. It’s not a complicated pattern so let’s get started! The following are the ‘basic’ rules when working this pattern: Each row is worked from the right side.Each row is worked from right to left.Ensure to leave a 6 inch tail of yarn when beginning and ending a row.To begin each row, form a slip knot on your hook and commence row.Work all dc in the back loop of stitches.Work all dtr in the front loop of stitch 3 rows below, whilst missing the dc behind on current row.

The pattern may also be customized to your own preferences, producing a dense fabric! When it comes to customizing it all boils down to . . . the spacing . . . you can choose to customize your blanket by working 8 dc, 6 dc or 4 dc etc. Sample 1: Spacing of 8 dc With Red, ch 37. Fasten off. Basket Weave Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern. A Touch of Southwest Afghan. This is one of three afghans that I received for my wedding many years ago. This one is from my husbands grandmother on his mother's side. This won her 1st place at the Lincoln County Fair in Nevada one year.

Make starting chain as long as you wish to make the afghan start with a tail and leave a tail at the end of every row when you cut the yarn at the end of every row. below is the rest of the pattern pretty simple really leave tail, chain to desired length of afghan, leave tail again. Leave a tail at the beginning and end of each row so every row is cut but you do not have to weave in any ends this makes it go faster than you think it will. Original was done in wool and felted a little.

Also the original was also mirrored from side. A Touch of Southwest Afghan.
