It looks like it's in a nice Native American type of pattern.

Particularly common out West, maybe.

Does anyone's finger start hurting when you crotchet? Like the side of it from holding the needle or is it just me?


I bet it's a bit like being on the computer for hours, with one's finger on the mouse. :)

WY. So were you consciously following Native American style?

No, I found this pattern but didn't want to do every 4 rounds the same color and the last round was suppose to have shells but I didn't have enough pink so I did a sc around for the last round. I never even thought that until you said something. That's awesome.

Okay! :)

And as far as you are aware you don't have any personal Native American heritage?

My wife has a book about Mexican textile patterns and they are similar, also.

Blessings.

Thank you!! Those look good. I have 2 more rugs to make then in going to try my hand at a corner to corner blanket.

I tried the granny stitch square with a little luck on the first three but the fourth didn't come out to good

Hi I am so glad there's a crochet thread in this forum. I absolutely love crocheting!!! I have about 5-6 big storage bins of yarn that I've collected over the years and am trying to use them all up. I hope to make a cover for a futon that I'm making and am making a single-sized blanket for my husband's Mum. I also crochet things to sell (which I use new yarn for, not the hoard that I gleaned from thrift stores) for those projects.
