How To Crochet A Larksfoot Blanket or An Arcade Blanket! (VERY Image Heavy!) You might remember this blanket that I made a little while ago? It's Kit's Arcade Blanket, and it's based on the Larksfoot stitch. About 400 people registered to get this emailed out to them, and then my email program would not let me bulk email. Anyhoo, I'm going to show you how to Larksfoot... and how to turn your Larksfoot into an Arcade block or blanket! I'm using Australian/UK terminology. Let's start with Larksfoot. I'm using cream as my base colour. Foundation Chain :: I used a 4.5mm hook and regular DK yarn. Foundation Row :: Note I'm using my base colour of cream here. Row One : (see images below) Still using your base colour, chain 'up' three stitches to begin the next row. So you'll have something like this when this row is done! Row Two : Chain up 3 (counts as the first treble, as it did in the previous row!) Change Colour : Okay. Row Three : (see images below) Now that we've secured our new yarn and we have a loop on our hook, we can begin our new row. Excellent! Right!
The Humble Nest Les Folles Marquises Car Seat Blanket As I near these last weeks of this pregnancy, I am feeling so great compared to the month prior to my son being born. So I've been so grateful I've had some energy to get a few more things done, where before I'd just collapse at home, sleep, go to work, and repeat it seemed. So this project is actually a re-make of a gift I received with my son. First of all the design is awesome, because it has holes to allow the straps and buckle through. Also, it is reversible if you have two prints you love. A big bonus: is it really helps preserve the life of the car seat cushions. But this time around, we're having a girl, so I thought I'd make one girly rather than have the boy version. So it's a pretty awesome little blanket, and hopefully my version will be as useful as my original gift. I don't crochet very well, so rather than having this amazing edge, my girly mimic is just bound with bias tape. First off, how it works: 1. 2. -1 1/4 yard flannel or other fabric-- 2 prints 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
les petites bétises Polkadot Square Pattern ( at last) Hello! How are you going today? It's the last day of school holidays here and I am putting off ironing the school shirts that have sat in the ironing basket since before Christmas. I'll probably end up ironing them while the boys have their showers in the morning. Nothing like the last minute to get things done in my house! So I am writing this instead. You might remember these polkadot squares that I crocheted a while ago? Anyway, I have finally finished writing the pattern down and doing a little photo tutorial on how I made them. I will put the pattern at the bottom of this post if you just want to skip straight to the concise version. Ok here we go, happy hooking and good luck! This is for a circle in a square type granny, using single crochet sts to create a nice solid piece. I used a 3.5 mm hook and 8 ply Bendigo Knitting Mills Cotton in a variety of colours, but you could try this in any yarn I think. This pattern is in US. stitches, sorry UK ladies, for you, sc =dc, hdc =htr, dc =tr
