Double V-Stitch Baby Blanket–Crochet Pattern

Skill Level: Easy

Materials: 6mm & 5mm hook, 150g Green dk yarn.

Notes: The double V-Stitch pattern can be used for various patterns and items scarves, cowls, shawls etc.
Measurements: 29.5” x 29.5”

Pattern:
Begin using 6mm hook and chain 91 sts.  (15 multiples of 6 +1)
Change to 5mm hook.
Row 1: Now turning work a row of sc all across the chain. This foundation row is optional but I think makes the work neater.
Row 2: Ch 3 to count as first dc, sk 3 sts, *work 2 dc, ch 2, work 2 dc into same st, sk 5sts*, ** repeat to final 3 sts and work a dc in final st.
Row 3: Ch 3,  *work 2 dc, ch 2, work 2 dc into previous V stitch sp*, repeat to final 3 sts and work a dc in final st.
Row 4: Repeat row 3 until desired length is reached or in this case 38 rows.
Here you can fasten off or create a border. I edged the blanket using green yarn and the basic double ‘v-stitch’. I then bordered it in pink and the final round was green sc.

Double V-Stitch Crochet Pattern

 

I recently decided to make a double V-stitch blanket, but when I looked for patterns or instructions I found that everything out there resulted in a ruffled un-flattened piece of work. So I experimented a little and came up with a pattern that results in a nice flat piece of work.

Pattern.

Working with chosen yarn and appropriate hook ch a multiple of 6 +1.

For example 60+1

Row 1: Now turning work a row of sc all across the chain. This foundation row is optional but I think makes the work neater.

Row 2: Ch 3 to count as first dc, sk 3 sts, *work 2 dc, ch 2, work 2 dc into same st, sk 5sts*, ** repeat to final 3 sts and work a dc in final st.

Row 3: Ch 3,  *work 2 dc, ch 2, work 2 dc into previous V stitch sp*, repeat to final 3 sts and work a dc in final st.

Row 4: Repeat row 3 until desired length is reached.

1 Billion Rising For Justice

 

On 14 February 2013, one billion people in 207 countries rose and danced to demand an end to violence against women and girls.

On 14 February 2014*, we are escalating our efforts, calling on women and men everywhere to RISE, RELEASE, DANCE, and demand JUSTICE!

ONE BILLION RISING FOR JUSTICE is a global call to women survivors of violence and those who love them to gather safely in community outside places where they are entitled to justice – courthouses, police stations, government offices, school administration buildings, work places, sites of environmental injustice, military courts, embassies, places of worship, homes, or simply public gathering places where women deserve to feel safe but too often do not.  It is a call to survivors to break the silence and release their stories – politically, spiritually, outrageously – through art, dance, marches, ritual, song, spoken word, testimonies and whatever way feels right.,

JOIN THE RISING 

Our stories have been buried, denied, erased, altered, and minimized by patriarchal systems that allow impunity to reign. Justice begins when we speak, release, and acknowledge the truth in solidarity and community. ONE BILLION RISING FOR JUSTICE is an invitation to break free from confinement, obligation, shame, guilt, grief, pain, humiliation, rage, and bondage.

The campaign is a recognition that we cannot end violence against women without looking at the intersection of poverty, racism, war, the plunder of the environment, capitalism, imperialism, and patriarchy. Impunity lives at the heart of these interlocking forces.

It is a call to bring on revolutionary justice.

Begin to imagine what Rising for Justice looks like for you, your community, your city, your country.

Crochet - Arc Lace Edging

 

Source -  Moiracrochets

I love this edging and I love this colour of green.

I originally intended to create a crochet cloth with circular pattern similar to Catherine Wheels yet bigger and lacier in effect. To my dismay, my problem-solving skills is not enough to make such pattern come to life.

So instead of a crochet cloth, I used the initial pattern I made for a lace edging. The great thing about this lace edging is that each arc is crocheted one after the other. Therefore, gauge and foundation chain are not very important. I can crochet any number of arcs until I have the length I desire.

This lace edging is perfect as a trim for blankets, afghans, throws, curtains, dresses, etc. to name a few.

Harmony Bordered Crochet Blanket

The past few days I have been posting free patterns for crochet borders and edgings. I yesterday finished this red ‘Harmony’ crochet blanket and the bordered it in various colours using different stitches. I quite like it and when you see it folded up the border is almost hyperbolic.

Free Crochet Pattern for a Lacy V’s and Picots Edging

 

Source:crochet.about.com

This edging was originally designed to accompany the striped lace baby blanket, but you can adapt it to many other projects as well. Please see the baby blanket pattern for materials list, yarn information, abbreviations and design notes.

Round 1: Work 1 round of sc all the way around your project. When you get to the corners, ch 2 to form the corner space. At the end of the round, join the end to the beginning with a sl st.

If you are using this edging on the striped lace baby blanket, you'll start by working 129 evenly spaced sc down the side of the blanket, ch 2, 129 more sc across the foundation chain, ch 2, 129 sc back up the other side of the blanket, ch 2, and 129 sc across the upper edge. Ch 2, join with a sl st to the beg of the round.

If you're working a different project, the number of sc sts will be different.

Round 2: Ch 3, [Skip 1 sc, (v st in next sc, skip next 2 sc.) Repeat sequence inside ()s until you get to the corner.

To Form the Corner: V st in next ch-2 space, ch 2, v st in same corner space.] Repeat instructions inside []s 2 times more.

Last Side: Repeat from [ to ). Then repeat the sequence inside ()s until you get to the corner. v st in ch-2 space, ch 2. Create another v st by using the 1st 3 ch sts you worked at the beginning of the round -- dc in base of the first ch, then ch 1 and join with a sl st to the 3rd ch st in the round. Sl st in center of next v st.

Round 3: Work 1 v st in every v st, all the way around. To form the first v st, ch 4; the 1st 3 chs count as 1 dc, then work 1 more dc to complete the v st. Work all the other v sts as usual.

When you get to the corners, work 1 v st in ch-2 corner space, then continue working a v st in each v st.

At the end of the round, use a sl st to join work to the 3rd sl st from the beginning of the round.

Round 4: In this round, you will work picot sts into each v st.

Work a sl st into the center of the next v st. Sc in same v st, ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch from hook, sc in v st. (Sl st in space between 2 v sts, sc in next v st, ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch from hook, sc in same v st.) Repeat the sequence inside the ()s all the way around. When all the v sts have picots, end off.

Round 5: (Optional) In this round, you're going to create an outline between the body of the baby blanket and the edging. There are a couple of different ways you could accomplish this:

• Surface crochet, using slip stitches, or
• Embroidery on top of the crochet work

I used slip stitches crocheted on the surface to make the sample shown above, but you can do it either way.

Sandi Marshall posted an example of the embroidery chain stitch you could use. Her example shows the stitch being used on a dish towel, but it has many possible uses.

If you'd like to work this part in crochet, work a round of sl st on the surface of the fabric in between the body of the afghan and the edging, at the spot they touch each other.

You'll use a contrasting color; in the sample blanket, I used soft lilac yarn to do this part.
