This blanket is called “Variations on a Theme” because as I worked on stitch swatches, I found myself wanting to create many variations of one basic stitch pattern just to see how far it could go. It’s a stitch sampler blanket using many of these patterns.
Here are all the CAL posts:
First post: Variations on a Theme CAL
Edging instructions for squares
Edging instructions for rectangles
Variations on a Theme Square #17
Notes:
Beginning cluster beginning cl: Ch 2, (yo, pull up lp in same st, yo, pull through 2 lps on hook) 2 times, yo, pull through all lps on hook.
Cluster cl: Yo, pull up lp in indicated st, yo, pull through 2 lps on hook, (yo, pull up lp in same st, yo, pull through 2 lps on hook) 2 times, yo, pull through all lps on hook.
Row 1: Ch 32, sc in second ch from hook, (ch 2, skip next 2 ch, dc in next ch, ch 2, skip next 2 ch, sc in next ch), across, turn.
Row 2: Beginning cl in first sc, (ch 2, sc in next dc, ch 2, cl in next sc) across, turn.
Row 3: Ch 1, sc in top of first cl, (ch 2, dc in next sc, ch 2, sc in top of next cl) across, turn.
Rows 4-16 or until piece is square, or almost square: Repeat rows 2-3 ending with row 2.
At end of last row, fasten off.
To make this stitch pattern any size, begin with ch multiple of 6 plus 2.
Woot! One more to go!
OK…so I think I may start all my squares over. I have only done the first 10 and I can always donate them to someone or something but I'm just not crazy about the color yarn that I am using. What do you all think? Am I nuts? LOL
No one is nuts. Crochet away.
Is there a right side/wrong side for this block? I've been making all of my squares with Row 1 as the right side, but I'm not sure about this one. Any thoughts?
