Crochet: another ZIGZAG (Chevron) Stitch.

OCTOBER! The temperatures are dropping:( Autumn is on the way. Time to make ourself warm.
I decided to make a new shawl for my Autumn season. I would like to have soft and a little bid breathable shawl. So I found this pattern, it is lovely and really easy to make. Honestly also it looks interesting and modern.

 

You will find the diagram and Video Tutorial of this pattern below.
All you need cone of yarn and a hook:)
What I used: 3.5 mm hook, and different colour yarn. (But of course you can use 1 colour, I like colourful )

2-hole WAVE BLANKET (another RIPPLE stitch)

Helloooo,
I would like to share one of my lovely blanket, I am still working on it, it will be for my best friend.

I used colourful yarn for this project but you can use different colours in each 2 rows. I looks brilliant. Next time I will use different colours.

On this project you need to know what "2dctog" means. Here is the explanation of it:
2dctog:  : (double crochet 2 stitches together) 
Yarn over (YO) hook, insert hook in stitch , 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.  One dc2tog made.

You need 17 chains for every repeat of the pattern. (Multiple 17 ch.)
in here I am trying to explain this pattern with 34 chains. 
but ofcourse you make/calculate chains according of your project. For example I ve done 170 chains for my blanket.
PS: I use the standard way to do it, BUT if you use "back loop ONLY" looks much much more amazing!

R1:
make 1dc in the 4th ch from the hook. (unworked 3 chains count as 1dc).
then make 1dc in following next 6 ch. (now you have 7dc+ first 3ch count as 1dc)
then make 2 chain.
then 1dc in the same stitch.
then 1dc in following 7ch. (which means 7 times: 1dc in 1 ch.)
then skip 2ch.
then 1dc following ch. (repeat 7 times more)
then make 2 ch.
then 1dc in the same stitch.
then 7 times make 1dc in each ch. then turn.

R2:
make 3 ch. then make 2dctog in following 2 ch.
then make 5 times 1dc in 1ch.
then make 1 dc in 2ch-space,
make 2 ch
and again 1dc in the same 2ch-space,
then 7 times make 1dc in 1 ch.
then skip 2 stitches
then 7 dc in each stitch.
then 1dc in 2ch-space,
make 2 ch.
then 1dc in 2ch-space,
then 5 times dc in each st.
then make 2dctog and 1dc at the end of the st.

R3 and ... : Repeat R2 as many times as you need to.

IMPORTANT thing is at the end of the rows, in last 3 stitchec, you will make dctog then 1 dc.
beginning of the rows , you will make 3 ch, then dctog.
Because of that your blanket's right and left sides will be strait,

I was inspired by Yolanda Soto-Lopez. (you will find her Video Tutorial below)

and here is my lovely blanket! Isn't it nice?

EDGE:
I will explain this EDGE now;
1- start anywhere, make 2 ch.
2- skip 2ch, make 1dc then 3ch. and make 2 more dc in the previous space.
3- then skip 3 ch. make 1 slip st. then 2 ch., and repeat 2 and 3 steps.

Have a Great day:) ,  Oya Mearns

also I NEED YOUR HELP .. can you?

Hello there,

Today is very rainy and very dark. Very depressing weather, really!
Well, we are in September, what else we can expect, right?

I have my coffee and thinking how I can reach people who ever needs some help, ideas or trying to learn some new crochet or knitting patterns.
I remember, when I saw brilliant, very colourful baby blanket from Internet; I thought myself, why not try to do this? I didn't know anything on that time about "Crochet".

But especially in our century, everything you can learn from Internet. The important thing you have to use right "word" while searching, And definitely you can finally find something relevant on your search. There are a lot of people out there who gives their idea, explain how they can do it from the beginning, step by step.
So I started from the beginning. What does it mean "chain", "hook", "knot stitch", "back loop", "single crochet", "double crochet", ext. I am not joking, I was very "illiterate" person about CROCHET !

But look at me now, Finally, I can make my own crochet blankets, understand the "diagrams". I am very happy for that.

I created this blog for the people who are similar to the way I was before Crocheting took over my life. :)

Now time to make my "blog" visible for the people who ever needs some help.
On this situation I need your help too!

There are different ways for helping me.
