SUE PINNER PATTERNS: MOCK WAFFLE STITCH

A year and 4 months ago i posted a picture of a sample piece of Mock Waffle, promising the pattern soon, well it never happened and then the sample went missing it's taken me this long to find it again hiding in a large bowl underneath a coffee table..so here is the pattern 


YARN:dk and 4mm hook 
or
Aran and 5mm hook


US Terms

PATTERN:
I start with a simple flower and make a base chain of as many ch sts. as i think i need for the project...
A Scarf: I used Merino, 
4mm hook and 72sts +3sts [24 waffles]

Each mock waffle is 3 sts wide

A Baby Blanket, a soft Aran weight Alpaca yarn, 
5mm hook and 150 +3sts [50 waffles]

So if you want a different size project its multiples of 3 sts +3sts which will be the sc and ch2 loop in the first row.

 Start and finish with a Flower,  finger wrap pf 10wraps, 
12sc into wrap, sl st to complete.

ROUND 1: ch3, sc into next st, ch3 sc into next st, repeat for 12 tiny loop petals.
ch6, as flower stem, continue...


Base chain +3sts

Baby Blanket:150sts +3st

ROW 1: Turn sc in 5th st from hook, ch2, miss 2 sts, sc in next st, ch2, miss 2 sts, sc in next st repeat to end of row giving 50 ch2 loops and a spare  ch6 as the flower stem.


ROW 2: Turn, ch2 as first dc, 2dc, into ch2 loop, fpdc, around the sc, 2dc into next ch2 loop, fpdc, around next sc, repeat to end finish with 3dc, into last ch5 loop.


ROW 3: Turn, ch2, sc into sp, ch2, miss 2sts, sc into next st, [sc, is into the top of the fpdc st, of row before],  repeat to end, finish with a sc in the last st.


ROW 4: Turn, repeat Row 2.
ROW 5: Turn repeat row 3
continue to repeat rows 2 and 3 until your scarf/blanket is the size you want it to be.


SCARF FLOWER
Change colour every 6 rows and end last row with ch6, Finger wrap of 6 wraps, 
Round 1:16sc into wrap, sl st to complete. sew in end

Round 2: Using the next col. make 8 PETALS.
 Att. yarn in any st, ch 2, dc into first st, dc, ch2, sl st into next st, sl st into next st and repeat, make 8 petals sl st to complete, 6sc, over the ch6 stem, continue with the Mock Waffle pattern (sc in first st, miss 2sts, ch2, sc in next st repeat] until 3 patterns have be completed then change col. again.

Summer Kisses is my easy version of a lattice stitch scarf/wrap in Stylecraft Batik
20% Wool in it but its not making me itch at all and i've worn it on an evening boat trip and never once felt uncomfortable (for those with a wool allergy)

Soft, comfy and warm to wear, a springy 20%wool 80% acrylic DK in 16 colours
It's over 6' [183cm+] long, blocked and about 14" [36cms] wide
But it only took me, on and off 3 days to make....Each row of kisses takes about 20minutes to do  
Weighs about 240g, thats with no edging stitch and I do plan on adding some edge detail, but wearable without.

BATIK: 16 yummy colours to pick from

Bit of a catch up....
