SECRET GARDEN THROW PATTERN

SECRET GARDEN THROW PATTERN HERE

STRIPES SCARF, repeat 9" of 2 sts.

LINK TO BASIC PATTERN

 the inspiration was a summer dress fabric, using Stripes 25% wool mix from Wilkinson's and a soft charcoal black merino wool

decided to change stitch after approx. 9" of each st, and repeat until it's long enough for me.

First row of 'v' sts, needs to be the traditional v st. with the ch 1 between the 2 dc, or its too tight using this merino yarn. 

Other wise i'm just repeating the 2 st, pattern every 9"

 I like my scarves long so aiming for around 6' and i will add the weight of yarn when its completed 

CROCHET AND CAKE...what could be better?

After finding my complete blog had been copied onto what is described as a Rss feed site stealing my clicks. I needed to change things around here, just a little. 

I was feeling a little angry but thanks to feedspot theft, that i discovered totally by accident, you doubled my clicks yesterday and the day before.....

SILVER LINING AS THEY SAY!

 Thanks to my loyal following of Hookers, the more clicks I get the more freebies you get.

Patterns will only be on a link system from now on.

Crescent Moon Wrap...
I've managed to complete 4 so far all slightly different, hope you are all enjoying the base pattern and getting creative with the side rows? Lots are appearing on my Facebook group Sue Pinner Granny Squares group, click the link if you want to join the fun xx

And look what Phil made me...a fabulous Lemon Drizzle cake to cheer me up, it was very good, thanks. Crochet and cake, what could be better?

Large Crescent Moon Wrap, grey Cotton/acrylic version today

 Grey version of the giant 8' Crescent Moon Wrap with one or two simple changes all in Alize Cotton/acrylic yarn

base pattern with ixed stitch border

pattern here

 Using the Crescent Moon Wrap, base pattern but increasing to 25 sts, and then 50cm of straight rows, then do the decreasing.

Also instead of working into the stitches work into the spaces only for the base pattern will give a different look to your base crescent pattern

Larger Crescent Moon Wrap....mixed side stitches

Morning all...well out of all the Crescent Moon Wrap options i think I like this one the best so far. Nothing subtle about it so get those sun glasses out. 

DK and cream Aran weights mixed. All with a 4mm hook,  its made on the larger base and has several rows of mixed stitches and measures almost 8' long, going to be a real cosy wrap for the Winter 

I used 4 x 50g balls of this DK 25% Wool yarn from Wilkinson's in a rainbow of colour and approx. 70g of a cream Aran for the contrast. The wrap weights approx. 270g

Quote from The Power of the Crescent Moon

 Crescent Moon should be viewed each month as a potent symbol of where you are giving “birth” to new areas of your life. This is when you welcome your new creation for your life and cradle it to maturity.

LARGER CRESCENT BASE PATTERN

The larger version is the same as the original but increase to 25sts in a row work approx 50cm x 25sts in each row straight, then decrease to 2 sts.

This will make a base for your Crescent Moon wrap approx. 1.5m long before you add the side stitches
