Crochet Me Crazy

There are lots of ends to weave in with this project -- the not so fun part! I am trying to be very careful to leave long ends and do a really good job weaving them in...up and down over several rows and then through to the other side and doing more weaving in over there. I want to be able to wash this and not worry about it coming apart! I haven't sewed any together yet, as you can see. I'm still trying to decide whether to make this to fit a bed or just make it afghan size.



Okay, I've had a lot of people say they can't find this pattern online. As a matter of fact, I can't find it online either! I have looked. I have even looked for pictures of it and I can't find any! So, since this pattern is originally from a 1993 magazine called Country Afghans and it can no longer be bought unless you can find a copy on Ebay or some used magazine site, I am going to help you out on how you can make your own version of this afghan.

Diamond Motif

Row 1 - Ch 2, sc in second ch from hook (1)
Row 2 - Work 2 sc in next sc (2)
Row 3 - Sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc (3)
Row 4 - Sc in each sc across to last sc, 2 sc in last sc (4)
Row 5-14 - Work as for Row 4 until you have 14 total sc
Row 15 - Work first two sc together, sc in each sc across (13)
Row 16-26 - Work as for Row 15 (2 sc remain in row after completion of this row)
Row 27 - Work 2sc together (1)
Fasten off.

You can look at the pictures of my afghan and see how they are put together. I am whip stitching mine together. The possibilities and colors are endless with this.

And if you're going somewhere, just grab your white (or whatever color you use for your background color because you need more of these than the other colors) and your hook and your good to go. After a couple of these, you'll have it memorized.

Please, please if any of you make this -- I want to see the pictures!
