Hi everyone
I am sharing with you today some work-in-progress. I am making another crochet blanket and I am crocheting it using the V Stitch. The stitch consists of trebles and chains and so is nice and easy if you are a beginner or don't have time to follow complicated patterns. This blanket is being made for a family member. It is also a design that I have been keen to try.
I started my blanket by chaining 198 stitches as this is divisible by 3 and then added 4 stitches for the first turn on row two. I used stitch makers every 20 chains so that if I lost count I could easily see where I am without having to recount from the beginning.
I am going to use a different colour yarn each row which makes the stitch more prominent.
These are my colour choices:
I buy my yarn from Deramores and I am using Stylecraft Special DK, which is my yarn of choice for crocheting blankets. I like to wrap the yarn around these clothes pegs and label them. Then I can play around with different colour combinations which is how I came to using these ones.
Here is where I have got to after 4 hours of crocheting.
If you want a guide to doing the V Stitch then look no further. this is a great tutorial and also guides you with how many stitches are needed for the pattern.
