PART 2: RULE OF 12 SCRAP YARN MINI CAL


PART 2: Purples

Gather together all you scrap shades of purple in your chosen weight of yarn.  
5mm hook for Aran
4mm hook for dk [slightly smaller wrap or blanket]

The redder the shades are, then they will be placed next inline to the red/ornange ones as the below picture shows


Todays PART 2 is to make 9 x 3round circles in 6-9 shades of purple using the 
Rule of 12 circle  pattern

Make 9 different circles of 3 colours each for part 2
Each round is in a different shade of purple weave in ends and crochet over them as you go 

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]


and I bet you can guess what colour will be next in line? lol 



JOINING CIRCLES TOGETHER


I am going to give you 3 colours and then the joining pattern because after 3 colours you will need to decide on a wrap or blanket....
Wrap: a long row of 6 blocks [9 motifs in each colour] over 6' long
or
Blanket: 3 rows of 3 colours side by side
so one more colour to come and you will be going them together 

PART 3:
Using the same pattern make 9 circles in shades of green

CIRCULAR CUSHION: NUMBER 10


PART 1 OF NUMBER 10: 


I had to adapt this pattern from the original, as the Aran yarn was making it frilly and not lie flat so it's ever so slightly different from the original motif in the number of stitches, then I realised why the wavy motif!........miss counted stitches on the original spot the mistake? 



Going to try an experiment here, this is a quick pattern, the sort of pattern I write in note form, but easy and quick to read, so long as you remember the first stitch is replaced with a standing start st or ch sts, and you sl st to complete each round...

Try it and let me know if its easier to read or not enough detail? It would mean i could do more patterns and quicker if its an ok format for you all.

QUICK PATTERN: US Terms, UK Terms in brackets

finger wrap of 5 wraps
Round 1: 12 sc [12dc] into circle (12sts)
Round 2: cluster of 2dc [2tr], into each st with ch2 between (12 clusters)
Round 3: 3tr [3dtr], into each ch2 sp, (36sts)
Round 4:  sc [dc], in next 2nd and 3rd sts, sc [dc] spike st into clusters of round 2. ( (36sts)
Round 5: sc in first st, bobble st of 3tr [3dtr], in ext st, ch1, sc [dc], in next st repeat to end. (18bobble sts)
Round 6: granny shells of 3dc [3tr] into sc sts, between bobbles (54sts)
Round 7: single 'v' st, tr [dtr], ch2, tr [dtr], into sp, between granny shells, repeat. (18 'v' sts)
Round 8: double 'v' st,  2tr [2dtr], ch2, 2tr [2dtr], into ch2 sp, repeat (18 double 'v' sts)
Round 9: 3dc, [3tr], ch2, 3dc [3tr], into ch2 sp, sc [dc] into sp between double 'v's (18 shell sts)
