It's all in a Nutshell Crochet
crafting crochet magic, one stitch at a time
Fast forward a year from my post from last week. Remember, I gave my Snowflake Blanket using Scheepjes Cotton 8 and Sunkissed yarn to Shirly when I had it about a third done, and asked her to finish it at the own pace. Tadah! This is what my blanket looks like now, but only after… Continue reading Snowflake Blanket finally finished!

In Part 6 of TLC Blanket we are learning to make textured stitches, particularly front and back post stitches. These stitches are not worked in the top of the stitch as we normally do, but around the post of the stitch, tipping the top of the stitch forward or backwards. As a result you get… Continue reading TLC Blanket – Part 6
In deel 6 van TLC Blanket leren we om textuursteken te haken, zogenaamde reliëfsteken.

Hierdoor krijg je een 3D effect… Continue reading TLC Blanket – Deel 6
