Hello beautiful people,
As I start this post, I can see lovely blue skies from my window and feel the advent of spring...its wonderful isnt it? How is it where you are today?
Sunny skies and lotsa flowers and happiness.....all these epitomise my friend Jane....who has a birthday this month. My lil girl has been calling Jane by the epithet "my Jane" since the age of two..and the name has stuck!! I made this sparkly sequiny scarf for Jane as its so Her!!
I hope she has a wonderful birthday and a year full of happiness. I belong to India and have been in the UK for over 15 years and Jane has been a part of my life for a large chunk of this time...she is such a comfort to me , she makes me feel at home here too!! Heres to our friendship!
Thank you so much,Jane.
I chanced upon this simple stitch and started the scarf, I really enjoyed making it . The stitch pattern is called the crossed trebles(half double crochet in US terms). Really easy to do! Here is the pattern.
Make an odd number of chains,this is important.
yrh stands for yarn around hook
Row 1-- yrh ,insert hook in 3rd chain from hook,yrh and draw a loop through
Yrh, insert hook in next stitch, yrh and draw aloop through, yrh and draw through all 5 loops on hook( this completes the first crossed half treble (hdc). Chain 1, *(yrh, insert hook in next chain,yrh and draw a loop through ) twice, yrh and and draw through all 5 loops on hook to complete next crossed half treble.,chain1, repeat from * to last chain, turn.
Row2-_ chain 2 , yrh , insert hook in first chain space, yrh and draw a loop through, yrh and draw through all 5 loops on hook , chain 1, *yrh, insert hook in same chain space as 2nd arm of last crossed half treble, yrh and draw aloop through, yrh insert hook in next chain space , yrh and draw a loop through, yrh and draw through all 5 loops on hook chain 1, repeat from * to end( taking care to work 2nd arm of last crossed treble in chain space formed by turning chain.), 1 half treble in 2nd of chain 2., turn.
Repeat row 2 for the desired length.
I love this stitch for the texture it produces, the sequins are randomly scattered in the pattern which I think adds to the charm.
I hope the scarf is loved by the recipient....best compliment for any crocheter and friend of course!!
Please do let me know if pattern is unclear, the photos are fuzzy ....I will do my best to clarify!!
Hugs,
Ramya
