Today I got the Serger out to do "Preemie Fleece Blankets". I must admit they did come out cute. They are so soft, the babies and parents will love them. I will be picking up more fleece to sew. Check out the picture.
Now as promised here is another pattern to crochet:
Sport yarn and size H hook.
V-stitch = dc in next stitch, ch 1, dc in same stitch.
Leave a 6 inch length of yarn before the first loop of starting chain. Weave in when afghan is done.
Chain 134
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook. 133 sc. Chain 3, turn, counts as 1st dc.
Row 2: Dc in second sc,and next sc, *skip next sc, v-stitch in next single crochet, skip next sc, dc in next sc**, repeat the pattern from * to ** 30 more times, skip next sc, v-st in next sc, skip next sc, dc in each of last three sc.
Row 3: Chain 3, dc in next 2 dc,* skip next dc, v-st in next chain 1 space, skip next dc, dc in next dc** repeat the pattern from * to ** 30 more times, skip next dc, v-st in next chain 1 space, skip next dc, dc in last three dc.
Row 4 to 61: Repeat Row 3.
Row 62: Ch 1, sc in each of first 4 dc,* sc in ch 1 space, sc in each of next 3 dc**, repeat from * to ** across row, sc in last dc. End off leaving 6" strand of yarn to weave in later.
Edging:
Round 1: With right side of blanket facing you, attach yarn in 1st sc of Row 62, chain 1, sc in each sc across the row, *then ch 2 and begin down the side. Sc in the end of the first sc row, then 2 sc around the post of each end dc on each row along the side till you reach the end of this side. Sc in the end of the last sc row on this side**. Slip st in the beginning sc of this round.
Round 2: Slip st in each of next 2 sc. Chain 1, sc in same st as sl st made [*skip next 2 sc, make 5 dc all in next sc (shell made), skip next 2 sc, sc in next sc** repeat 20 times. then skip next 3 sc, work (3 half dc, ch 2 3 half dc) all in corner ch 2 space. Repeat from beginning to end on each side, ending by sl st to join this round. Finish off by hiding all ends.
This is an easy pattern to do. If you have any problems with the pattern let me know.
Have a good one. Nan.....
