Crocheters?

[BarbaraJean]

The pattern for the Prairie Star afghan is one of the free project sheets from Red Heart. It's no longer available in the stores but you can find it here:

What a great idea! Do they take them on consignment or are you donating them?

I think you're very brave to be starting out with a thread project.

 

[GodFlute2]

thread? I've still not completely figured yarn out. Lol.

I know. I've not done very well with doilies.

I do make thread Christmas ornaments though which have turned out very nicely.

 

[GodFlute2]

I otta try that next year...

 

[BarbaraJean]

I have 2 ornaments on my table that I've just starched. I'll post a picture of them once I get them decorated.

 

[GodFlute2]

cool. I'd love to see them.

 

[BarbaraJean]

I want to make this!

Can't find it. The link doesn't work

 

[BarbaraJean]

Hmmm, you're right. I'll try again.

 

[BarbaraJean]

No, I can't get it to work. It's a thread on a crochet forum. Perhaps a person has to be logged in to the forum to access it. Sorry.

It's a fabulous shrug/sweater! So pretty!

It's just the same--only smaller

(forgive me--I plead a monster headcold and sleep deprivation)

Oh, I'm so sorry. Sending vitamin C, chicken noodle soup, hugs and lots of sleep your way.

That might be my problem then, I have big hands. Not good for small items.

Thank you!

Sorry it took me more than a minute to get it up, but here ist is.

Size: Approx 7" wide x 54" long.

Materials:
Lion Brand Chenille Think and Quick, Art. #950 (100 yd. skeins): skein in #108 Dunsty Blue or the color of your choice. Crochet hook size N or size needed to obtain gauge.

Gauge: 3 sts = 2" in pat st.
TO INSURE PROPER SIZE, BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

Patter Stitch:
Pat Row 1: Sc in first sc, sc in back loop of each sc across to last sc.

Scarf:
Ch 82.
Foundation row: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Ch 1, turn.
Work pat Row 1 8 more times. Fasten off. Weave in ends.

For wider Scarf: Work additional rows with additional Loin Brand Chenille Thick and Quick.
For Shawl width: Work additional rows with additional Lion Brand Chenille Thick and Quick until piece meas approx 22" or as desired. Or keep going for a most luxurious throw.
For longer Scarf: Add 3 ch for each additional 2" of lingth desired to initial ch 82. Then work pat above with additional Lion Brand Chenille Think and Quick.

Another way to do this is on the second row to do the single crochet in the back loops only. This gives it a ribbed look and makes it very interesting.
