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).

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.

Crochet: Motif Motif Blanket....

Helloooo,
This time I learned something NEW and loooove it!
So I decided to use this pattern for my daughter, because I would like to make a double size blanket for her. And very easy to work with the Motifs one by one, collect them according of the size then merge them..

I used Nako, Nakolen (194) - 7 bals
and Nako, Nakolen Dreams (31464) - 12 bals
I made 80 squares: (8 squares x 10 squares )
Hook: 4 mm

I used colorfull balls for first 7 row, then I used the grey balls for the last 2 rows(8. and 9.rows)
First, make 3 ch, then make circle,
1 row- 3 ch, and 11 dc in that circle (total 12 dc)
2 row- 3 ch, and 1 dc ın the same stitch, then make 2 dc in each of 11 stitch (total 24 dc)
3 row- in this row: 1 dc, 2 dc. 1dc, 2dc.....ın each of stitch (total 36 dc)
4 row- like 3.row, again 1 dc, 2 dc. 1dc, 2dc.....ın each of stitch (total 54 dc)
5 row- now like this: 1dc, 1dc, 2dc, 1dc, 1dc, 2 dc.....each of stitch (total 72 dc)
6 row - now we will make all sc, but like this: sc,sc,sc,sc,sc,sc,sc,sc,2sc,..... I mean 8 sc in each 8 stitches then 2sc the next one... (total 80 sc)
7 row- again dc we will make, like this: dc,dc,dc,dc,dc,dc,dc,dc,dc,2dc,...... I mean 9dc in each stitches then 2dc the next one...(total 88 dc)
8 row- now I changed the color for lart 2 rows: in this row we will make this circle a square, like this:
5dc in the same st, 1dc,1dc,1hdc,1hdc,1hdc,sc,sc,sc,sc,sc,sc,sc,sc,sc,sc,sc (11 times), 1hd,1hdc,1hdc,1dc,1dc, 5dc,..... as you understand that 5dc's makes the corners.
9 row- in the last row, corners will be the middle of the previous 5dc, I mean we will make 5dc in the third st of the perevious 5dc: and will go on like this:
5dc, dc,dc,dc,dc,dc,dc(6 times), hdc,hdc,hdc,...(13 times), dc,dc,dc,dc,dc,dc(6 times), 5dc,..........
fasten off.
