Helloooo,
When my last project finished I was trying to find new project, and I found brilliant pattern from internet. Loveee it! Suddenly I started with my some left over yarns.... then I loved more! When I was Scotland I bought some brilliant yarns and I made a table cloth for one of my dear friend's village house. She liked it very much. You will see the pictures of it (below).


 


Yarn: thich
Hook: 4.5 (even 5 mm much better)
Pattern: Ravelry
Design by Celeste Young.

Stitch Abbreviations: 
ch: chain
st: stitch
sl st: slip stitch
dc: double crochet
small shell: (dc, ch 2, dc) in same space
large shell: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in same space


Pattern:  (I used 2 colors)Using color White, ch 4. Join with sl st to form a ring.
Round 1: Ch 2 (counts as first dc throughout pattern), work 11 dc in ring (12 dc). Join with sl st in top of ch2 from beginning (join in this manner throughout pattern).
Round 2: Ch 2, dc in same st, 2 dc in each dc around (24 dc). Join.
Round 3: Ch 2, *skip next dc, work (dc, ch 2, dc) in next dc. Repeat from * around, ending with dc in base of beginning stitch, ch 2, join with sl st in top of ch2 from beginning.
Round 4: Sl st into ch 2 space, work (ch 2, dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in ch 2 space, * work large shell in next ch 2 space, repeat from * around. Join.
Round 5: Sl st into next st, ch 2, * work large shell in ch 2 space, dc in next dc, skip next 2 dc, dc in next st. Repeat from * around. Join.
Round 6: Sl st into next st, ch 2, dc in next st, * work large shell in ch 2 space, dc in each of next 2 dc, skip the next 2 sts, dc in each of next 2 dc. Repeat from * around, ending with skip 2 sts. Join, cut yarn.

Round 7: Using second color (I used the same white color for this) , sl st into next st, ch 2, dc in next 2 sts, * work small shell in next ch 2 space, dc in next 3 sts, skip 2 sts, dc in next 3 sts. Repeat from * around, ending with skip 2 sts. Join, cut yarn.

Round 8: Using second color , sl st into next st, ch 2, dc in next 2 sts, * work large shell in ch 2 space, dc in next 3 sts, skip next 2 sts, dc in the next 3 sts. Repeat from * around, ending with skip 2 sts. Join.
Round 9: Sl st into next st, ch 2, dc in next 3 sts, * work large shell in ch 2 space, dc in next 4 sts, skip next 2 sts, dc in next 4 sts. Repeat from * around, ending with skip 2 sts. Join.
Round 10: Sl st into next st, ch 2, dc in next 4 sts, * work small shell in ch 2 space, dc in next 5 sts, skip next 2 sts, dc in next 5 sts. Repeat from * around, ending with skip 2 sts. Join.
Round 11: Sl st into next st, ch 2, dc in next 4 sts, * work large shell in ch 2 space, dc in next 5 sts, skip next 2 sts, dc in next 5 sts. Repeat from * around, ending with skip 2 sts. Join.

Round 13: Using color G, sl st into next st, ch 2, dc in next 6 sts, *work small shell in ch 2 space, dc in next 7 sts, skip next 2 sts, dc in next 7 sts. Repeat from * around, ending with skip 2 sts. Join, cut yarn.

Continue working in rounds in pattern as established, always working 1 round with small shells followed by 2 rounds with large shells. You will work 5 rounds of each color, 1 round of white (always a small shell round), 5 rounds of next color, 1 round of white, and so on. Continue repeating rounds 8-13 with the number of dc increasing in each large shell round between the "ch 2 space" and the "skip 2 sts" until the last round of rainbow colors is worked. Join, cut yarn.

Final round: I made picot edge-  4sc, picot, 4sc, picot... at the corners 3 picots.

Crochet : another "Granny Triangle Shawl"

Hi,
This summer time I was in Scotland (Montrose) with my husband for visiting my mother in law. Almost everyday was rainy, dark, cloudy ! So I bought some yarns and start to crochet, and finished in there.
I loveeee the yarns, but I have to tell you those yarns are very expensive in there.
I made this shawl for my very very special friend SİBEL :)






Here we go!

Yarn: James G. Brett- Party Time- Chunky - 5 of themx100g
Hook: 6.5 mm


                










I love the flexibility of this design. You can make it what ever size suits your 
needs. Here is the shawl I crocheted with this pattern (on below). Choose any yarn you wish for this project. Grap your hook and start!


(Please note that this pattern is not my original design. I created my shawl using the following diagram from GARN studio  and also I really get brilliant help from Brittany"s web page(Brittany is the Founder of B.hooked Crochet)

You will find every details of this project in the links on below.
