PARTS 1- 5 RULE OF 12, SCRAP YARN MINI CAL: Cushion, Wrap or Blanket

A recap today of parts 1 - 5, same pattern just 5 different sets of colours

A simple 3 round circle joined together in an octagon with an infill that gives you a sort of interesting wrought iron second pattern.
UPDATE: I found the ball band and the black and white/grey yarn I'm using is the HAYFIELDS ARAN TWEED

PART 1: Shades of Reds/Pinks/Oranges

PART 2: Shades of purples

PART 3: Shades of green

PART 4: Shades of Blues

PART 5: Shades of Rust/orange

Parts 6 and 7 the joining rounds will be next week

I rethought how i was going to share the pattern as it's the weekend and a time when some might have more time to crochet and i didn't want to hold anyone up.

I added the last 3 colours and found that 5 blocks of 9 was more than enough for a wrap and it measures over 6' long, so slightly less crochet for the wrap.

BASIC RULE OF 12 CIRCLE PATTERN

12, 24,36 dc in each round will give you a perfect flat circle for this pattern it doesn't matter which stitch you start in

Make 9 in each set of colours, to make a wrap the same as mine.

But, you could use one of the sets of colours if you prefer

or make them all mixed up instead of in blocks of shade of one colour.

As its a scrap yarn wrap/blanket it will depend on what you have.

Joining is done in one colour, but it could just as easily be made in lots of colours too say all the different shades of neutral instead of just one colour black, charcoal, grey, silver, oatmeal, cream or even navy of brown....just have fun with colour for this one and stash bust too.

PATTERN:

5mm hook and ARAN yarn

4mm hook and DK yarn, slightly smaller circles.

Finger wrap of 4 wraps.

ROUND 1: cont. in same col. [ch2 counts as first dc], 12dc into circle wrap, sl st to complete [12dc]

ROUND 2: change col. [ch2 counts as first dc] 2dc in each st, sl st to complete. [24dc]

ROUND 3: change col. [ch2 counts as first dc], 2dc in first st, 1dc in next st work alternate 2/1 to end of round, sl st to complete. [36dc]

if you want to see the previous post bout this wrap then scroll back through the last 3 days posts.

Next week i will do parts 6 and 7 the joining and infill pattern that makes the fabulous secondary pattern to this Mini Cal
