Last week I already showed you I started to crochet this vanes, but now it's finished and I wrote a tutorial for it. Like? This is how you make them: Ch 8, sl st in the first stitch to form a ring. *Ch 10, sl st in ring, ch 7, sl st in ring*; repeat * *; ch 10, sl st in ring, chain 7, sl st in first ch of 10. You should have three spaces of 10 chains and three spaces of 7 chains now. Change color. Ch 3 (this counts as 1 dc) in 10 ch space, 3 dc in same pace, 3 dc in next space,* 4 dc in next space, ch 5, 4 dc in same space, 3 dc in next space*; repeat * *; 4 dc in next space, ch 5 and close with sl st in first ch3. Ch 6 (first three count as a dc), *dc in first space between three dc of third row, chain3, dc in next space, ch 3, 4dc in next space, ch 5, 4 dc in same space*; repeat * * twice; sl st in third of 6 ch. Change color. Ch 3 in a corner space, *3 dc, ch 3, 3 dc in next space, 3 dc...
Lovely! So clever of you to use a twig for it to hang from -- adds to the woodsy feeling of the design!
