Rings of Love Baby Blanket
By Berta GilholmMaterials:
(A) Department 71, Krinkle, ww #4, 100% Acrylic 3.5 oz./100g – 2 in White.
(B) Adrienne Vittadini, Bettina, 45% Viscose, 35% Nylon, 20% Linen, 50g/87 yds - 2 in light green.
(C) Bernat LuLu, ww #4, 100 % Nylon 1.75 oz./50g - 2 in a very light peach or orange.
All of the yarns were stash yarns, but, you can substitute any worsted weight (scrunchy, krinkle or fashion yarn) for (A) and (B) and any Terry type yarn for (C).
Crochet Hook size K/10.5, 6.5mm
Yarn Needle and Stitch Marker
Note: Work in
rounds and mark the beginning of each round. It can be difficult to see
stitches with these materials, so use your touch to feel the stitches if you
have problems. If you would like smaller openings around the baby ring row, thread your needle with (A) and tack the
sides of the baby rings together with a few whip stitches, weaving in ends, all
the way around (this will spread out the rings and give you less open space in
the center design).
Abbreviations: Ch
= chain, Jwslst = join with slip stitch to first st of row, Sc = single crochet,
Dc = double crochet, Tc = triple crochet, Cl = cluster, St = stitch, FO =
fasten off, Rnd = round.Special Stitches:
V stitch = 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc all in next stitch.
DC Cluster = yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook, do this three times, all in the same space, yarn over and draw through all four loops on the hook.
