Crochet : Vintage Fan Ripple Stitch Blanket

Helloooo again,

I learned (and still I learn) everything about "Crochet" from Internet. I watched a lot of videos, tutorials, and also I read a lot of documents about "crochet".  So fun and so nice to create something which you like, right?

So here is one of my favourite pattern: Vintage Fan Ripple Stitch !
Very Classic ! Very beautiful !

 

You can find a lot of information about this stitch in the Internet, but I will compile everything about this stitch for you and put them together in here; tutorial links, video links, even pattern chart.
So please try it, honestly you will have brilliant moments while doing it.
I used NAKO Vizon Yarn and Hook size :5mm

Some important notes:

• All stitches made in the BACK LOOP ONLY!
• trtr sistch (triple treble): Yarn over 4 times, insert your hook in to the next stitch. *Yarn over pull up a loop and pull through 2 loops.*Repeat until you have worked through all loops. This is a very long stitch. 
• Always be going in the SAME DIRECTION on the row where you are making the fans.

Pattern:

1. Chain : a multiple of 9  + 1 .  (I started with a chain of 136 to make this blanket 15 fans wide)
   So depends on your project make a chain, then start in the second chain from the hook
2. *sc in each of the next 4 st, 3 sc in the next, then another sc in each of the next 4 st.*
   Repeat this until end of the chain. turn,
3. 1 ch, * skip 1 sc. 1 sc in each of the next 4 st., 3 sc in the next one, 1 sc in each of the next 4 st. Skip 1 sc. * keep repeating this to the end of the row. turn.
4. same as row 3. turn.
5. ch 1, slip-stitch in to the next 3st, (Back Loop ONLY). ch 6, a trtr in each of the next 2 st, 3 trtr in the next one, a trtr in each of the next 3st. Skip 2 sc. *skip 2 sc, 3 trtr in each of the next 3 sc, 3 trtr in the next, and trtr in each of the next 3 sc. Skip 2 sc*b keep repating this to the end of the row, ch1, turn.

Keep repeating rows 2,3.4 and 5. to continue the pattern.

Summary about my addiction to “CROCHET” .

I have had a lot of “crochet & knitting” projects.  All of them have been given to my friends for their babies, or my daughter and son’s fashion requests, my neighbor’s kids and even as gifts to my work colleagues.

Then I realized I have NO list of my projects and description of the patterns, edging  which I have done till today. So, that’s why I have created this blog. I thought some of you can get some ideas, or maybe learn the patterns and how you can make it.

I have been “Crocheting/Knitting” since the beginning of 2014. To be honest I had NO idea, what’s so ever, about “Crocheting”.  I hadn’t even touched a hook. I did know knitting before, but nothing about “crocheting” .

I searched the internet, watched a lot of videos, then I started to do it from the beginning.  I saw early on many new terms like,  “chain”, “double Crochet”, “single crochet”, “slip stitch”,…” to name but a few.  However, now, I have come a long way and my crocheting has progressed and improved a lot!

So, I decided that I should keep my projects in a place where anyone could reach them easily.  That is why I have started this blog.  It will  be the library of my projects. Much better for me to find, and of course, give a better idea to help people who ever wants to get into this wonderful pastime.

Also, sometimes in my blog I would like to share pictures from my life. I have 2 dogs (Brian and Eddie) and a cat (BIDIK). 

Believe me they have been with me on my journey. They interfere with my yarn, hooks, and I am often found by my husband frantically searching under cushions, chairs and even doggy beds for my materials.  They even like to join in, while I am counting stitches or rewinding my yarnJ

All my posts will be published for helping to you. BUT of course if you would like to DONATE for my “piggy bank”, I can then get some more yarn for my projects and share with you. If you do so, you will find the “DONATE” button at the top of the blog :)

Crochet: BLOCK STITCH Baby Blanket

One of my favourite stitch, very enjoyable while doing it.

Especially if you have match colours, beautiful build it up :)

I use NAKO (Luks Minnos) baby yarn and size 3.5 mm crochet hook.

You can change colours at the end of any row if you wish, or you can use one colour depends on your feelings really:)



- Make your chains in multiples of 3.
- Turn and in the 4th chain from the hook start dc(double crochet) stitches all of the way to the end.
-(change the colour if you wish) and chain 3.
skip 2 stitches and sc(single crochet) in the third.
continue this down the length, chain 3, skip 2 chains, sc in the third.
- (change coulrs if you wish) and chain 3, dc twice in the first open space from the previous row.
continue down the length with 3 dc in each space until you reach the end.
- turn and continue to repeat the row followed by the 3 dc in each space of the previous row.

 


Edging:   

Join with any colour to any stitch on final row, chain 1, and sc all around the blanket. and please do 3sc in each corner. (even you can do second round of sc) then fasten off and weave in all tails.
ALSO you can like this:(below).
