Attic24 Sampler Blanket Part 3

So today's post will cover rows 27-44. It sounds like a lot, but there's only one new stitch to learn, and it's a nice relaxing one! So here goes...

Row 27: If you're following my colour order, switch to blush. Chain 3 (counts as first treble crochet), tc in each stitch to end.

Row 28: This is the first 'crossed trebles' row, also known as the meadow stitch. You can find a detailed tutorial here: Attic24: Meadow Stripe (typepad.com) but here's the short version: chain 3 (counts as first tc), tc in next stitch, *skip one stitch, tc in next stitch, tc in skipped stitch - one pair of crossed trebles made*, repeat from *-* until there are only two stitches remaining, tc in each of these stitches. Ta-dah! It can feel a little awkward at first, but after a few rows, it begins to flow.

Row 29: Switch to wisteria, work a crossed trebles row.

Row 30: Work a crossed trebles row.

R0w 31: Switch to turquoise, work a crossed trebles row.

Row 32. Work a crossed trebles row. 

Row 33: Switch to lincoln, work a crossed trebles row.

Row 34: Chain 3 (counts as first tc) tc in each stitch to end.

Row 35: Switch to saffron, chain 2 (counts as first dc), dc in each stitch to end.

Row 36: Here we switch back to an old favourite.. the neat wave pattern from part one. But here's a recap: chain 3 (counts as a treble) htc in next stitch, htc in next stitch, dc in next stitch, dc in next stitch, *dc, dc, htc, htc, tc^, tc, htc, htc, dc, dc*, repeat from *-*, your final stitch should be the treble crochet marked ^. This is neat wave row one.

Row 37: Switch to shrimp. Chain 2 (counts as first *dc) dc, htc, htc, tc, tc, htc, htc, dc, dc*, repeat from *-*, your final stitch should be a double crochet. This is neat wave row two.

Row 38: Repeat neat wave row two.

Row 39: Switch to lipstick, repeat neat wave row one.

Row 40: Repeat neat wave row one.

Row 41: Switch to powder pink, repeat neat wave row two.

Row 42: Repeat neat wave row two.

Row 43: Switch to violet, repeat neat wave row one.

Row 44: Chain 2 (counts as first htc), htc in each stitch to end.

So here it is, the story so far:


And this weeks stripes, soft meadow grasses, next to gently flowing waves:

Attic24 Sampler Blanket, Part 8.

I begin today with a huuuuge apology to anyone who has been following along! As I know this post is rather delayed. I've had a flare up of an old injury, so I've been following up with doctors, waiting on scans, and getting used to new medication. As ever, crochet has been my comfort and my therapy, keeping me sane. I think often of the Proverbs 31 woman, who "selects wool and flax and works with eager hands". We continue now with row 103, a ripple set up row.. Switch to shrimp. Chain 2 (counts as first htc), work *htc, tc, tc, dtc, dtc, tc, tc, htc, htc^, dc, dc, dc, dc, htc*, repeat from *-* until end, ending final repeat at ^.  Row 104: Switch to pomegranate. Work one ripple stripe.. chain 2, tc in next stitch (=tc2tog), tc, tc, *2tc in next stitch, 2tc in next stitch, tc, tc, tc, tc, tc2tog, tc2tog, tc, tc, tc, tc*, work *-* until 6 stitches remaining, work 2tc in next stitch, 2tc in next stitch, tc, tc, tc2tog. Row 105: Repeat row 104. Row 106: Switch to powder p

I'm Natalie, and for the ten years or so that I've been crocheting, it's been both my happy place and my therapy. I'm a huge fan of crochet bloggers such as Lucy of Attic24, and Heather of the Patchwork Heart. I love to gift and donate handmade items, and I also have an Etsy where you can purchase my work ( NatalieMcCrochet on Etsy ). My latest finished project was the Seaside Stashbusting Blanket, by Coastal Crochet.  And this has inspired my current WIP (work in progress 😊 - got to love a bit of crochet slang 😂) my Attic24 sampler blanket. So this is my first attempt at designing something like this, and at writing up a pattern that makes sense to anyone but me! I'm not trying to take credit for the stitches, and all of the detailed photo tutorials can be found over on the Attic24 blog ( Attic24 (typepad.com) ) My colour inspiration comes from my stash of Stylecraft special dk, in a loose "random rainbow" colour repeat (ok, that makes more sense in my
