Insert the hook into the front of the ring and hook your working yarn (the yarn coming from the the ball) with the hook. Wrap the working yarn around the hook from behind and pull through the loop on your hook. You will now single crochet six stitches into the ring.

Sharing Your Own Images Who can share images? You! What should I share? What shouldn't I share? SB149-005 Coasters. Vintage Vertical Stripe Crocheted Blanket Pattern. If you want to change colors in the middle of a row. I used 27 different colors, some more than others. Most of the yarn is and a few others that I've lost the wrappers for so I don't remember what they are. At 250 chains, the blanket is 6' 9" long and the width will be a little over 4' wide when I'm done.

I used a size "I" hook because that's what the yarn called for. (If you look at the wrapper around the yarn it will tell you the suggested hook size.) **There is a crochet-along group on Ravelry that is working on this afghan - be sure to check it out for more tips and camaraderie! To start, chain 250. Now for your first row, double crochet in each chain (your first double crochet will be in your 250th chain). When you get to the end of the row, cut your yarn and knot off by pulling the cut thread through the last loop on your hook. Next, choose your new yarn color and make a slip knot with it on your hook.

With your hook through the space, make a single crochet, then chain two. The Granny Stripe :: ta-dah! Hello my friends, thank you so much for being here with me. I 'm really happy that finally, finally, I've found a (relatively) quiet little spot in my busy-busy days to sit and whizz up a multi-coloured ta-dah post to share with you all. Pheww....for a while I thought it would never happen, I can't tell you how incredibly difficult it is at the moment for me to find time to sit and write. When I first made the decision to go with the acrylic for this blanket, there was quite a bit of uncertainty and I really wasn't at all sure whether it would work out or not. I purchased the yarn on a bit of a whim really, chose the colours quite quickly in a dimly lit shop one lunch time. Brought them home in a big squishy bag, tumbled them out onto the floor, arranged them in rows, stood back and took a long hard look at my blanket-to-be.

A few dubious colours, but mostly yes I was happy with them and felt they would work up nicely into stripes. And oh-me-oh-my, I was not disappointed. Do you like it?
