Crochet: Chevron Lace Blanket

Hellooo,

Here I am again! This time I have just started a nice shawl for one of my old friend.

I have done this type of pattern before, but when I see from "MOOGLY"'s blog page, I couldn't stop mysel to do again! I had some nice yarns which I bought them before, so I decided to use them for this reason. No idea what it will come along at the end. But when I finish it I promise I will share with you the pictures. Here is the pattern of my this project.
(You will find the diagram and the link of  Written Tutorial of this pattern from Tamara's blog (Moogly))

OCTOBER! The temperatures are dropping:( Autumn is on the way. Time to make ourself warm.

Crochet: CLOSE RIPPLE (or Wave - Chevron - ZigZag - Rugged Ripples) STITCH

Hi there.!
This time I will try to explain and compile one of my favorite style of Crochet.
Very simple, very fast , very easy and most important very pleasant  to do.
I love to play with colours, gives me a lot of fun. Using different colours is so fun and magical. After a while looking at the colourful "zig-zag" effect makes me mesmerised.

I found that there are a lot of ways to do this pattern and it has a lot of different names. People calls; Ripple, Wave, Chevron, ZigZag,Rugged Riples,...
I choose to call it : "Zig-Zag" Stitch.:)

This stitch has various combinations:

• Some people make it with only Double Crochet (dc), ot only Single Crochet (sc), even mixed (dc and sc). 
• Some people use ONLY back loops (takes more time but looks excellent) or standard way (passing through 2 loops together).
• You can do with one colour only, or change the colour in every row, maybe in 2 rows, 
• This pattern stitch is all about increasing and decreasing.

• Explanation of my works:

Foundation Chain line : Multiple of 14, plus extra 2 chains.
1 "Wave" = 14 ch. , I've done 14 Waves = 196 ch. + 2 = 198 ch. was my foundation line.

I used NAKO Luks Minnos yarn and NAKO Astra yarn with hook size 3.5 .

FIRST Line is the important one, you must be careful while counting. After then everything will be easy for you.



I  use  dc and  dc3tog for my project, but also you will find another combination below.

dc3tog: DoubleCrochet 3 stitches Together : yarn over(yo) hook, insert hook in stitch(st), pull up a loop(lp), 3 loops on hook.   yo hook, pull through 2 loops, 3lps on hook.   yo, INSERT hook in the NEXT stitch, yo, pull up a lp, 5 lps on the hook.   yo, draw through 2 lps, 4 lps left on hook.   yo draw through all 4 lps left on the hook.

• Another combination of this Stitch:

Foundation Chain line : Multiple of 12, plus extra 3 chains. 

dc2tog: double crochet 2 stitches together: Yarn over (YO) hook, insert hook in stitch(st) , pull up a loop, 3 loops on hook.  YO hook, pull through 2 loops.  YO hook insert in next st, pull up a loop, 4 loops on hook.  YO, pull through 2 loops, 3 loops on hook.  YO pull through last 3 loops.  that's it !
