Crochet Triangle Shawl

I can't believe it has been a while since I posted anything. I have completed out many projects that include a knitted t-shirt, crocheted feathers, a sock doll made from an old sock, and a teddy bear I intend to give to my granddaughter. You can find my finished projects in Instagram and Facebook.

So onto my latest completed project. This project can to be after a co-worker wanted clarification on pattern stitch she found on Pinterest, which was a simple "dc, ch1 in a ch1 space pattern". It was a square/ rectangular pattern, but I thinking it would make a great triangle shawl by doing increases at the ends. 

This particular shawl I used 2 skeins of Red Heart Super Saver yarn and a size J hook, but any size hook and yarn could be used.  So here is the pattern:

Chain 5, dc in the first chain. Turn.
Row 1: Ch 4, dc in the first dc (increase made), ch 1, dc in the next space, ch 1, dc in the third chain from the beginning ch 5 (increase made). Turn.
Row 2: Ch 4, dc in the first dc , [ch 1, dc in the next ch 1 space] repeat across all ch1 spaces, dc in the 3rd chain of ch 4 of the previous row.

Repeat row two until desired size of shawl. An alternative to doing a dc in turning chain at the end is to do the final dc in the last ch1 space.

Love Knot Shawl

Using up my scraps, I made up this shawl using the Solomon knot. I changed colors every row leaving about a 3 inch tail on the ends for fringe. This at I did not have to sew in the ends. I used a single crochet on the ends to secure in place. Right now it is hanging over my computer chair.

I also finished up a doily that you can find on my Instagram account. I usually post pictures of finished projects and WIPs on my Instagram account first. I used my Round Granny Ripple pattern to make the doily.

Shawl

I had used Shawl in a Ball to make this shawl. I felt that one ball was not bid enough, but I did wear this shawl using a broach to secure the shawl around my neck.

Happy Easter

I spent the day yesterday making eggs and egg bunnies.

Baby Alligator

Here is me holding a baby alligator. I was one of many fun things I did on my vacation. My husband had surprised me with Caribbean cruise for our 20th wedding anniversary. We had spent a few extra days after the cruise in Fort Lauderdale. One of things we did was take an airboat ride in the Everglades. It was at this tour that I got to hold the alligator.

Easy Tropical Cowl

I had bought a skien of Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable off Amazon and decided to make the Easy Tropical Cowl pattern on the label.


This cowl is going to go very well with my coat.
