RE: Anyone recognize this crochet pattern??

14 years ago

Hi Everyone, lets join hands and pray that someone will let us all have the pattern. There's a lot of babies expected and this a beautiful shawl. I have a GreatGrandchild due in August and would love to make it. GreatGrammas don't last forever.

Come on whoever you are, please share.

Reaching out my hand ......

Ummmm, do you have a picture of it, or a link to a picture? Kind of tough this way, LOL.

have the afghan pattern you sent, thank you but not what i am looking for. this was a traditional granny square, in one square, looked to be a varigated yarn but between every round, there was a white or off white row, not consistant with the granny pattern stitch, maybe a single crochet around and then the varigated started again. the white or off white row looked just about indented. hard to explain, i have looked thru my patterns and it is not hear, have internet searched also. thanks for any help.

crochet newbie re triangle shawl sizing

I have made a triangular shaw for my granddau (and one for me) Knitted. Started out with 4 casted on stitches and just increase one stitch at the beginning of each row. (I made a knit 2 then increase one stitch for the side edge pattern) I also made two ponchos with this pattern (different knit patterns stitches) by just binding off enough stitches when you get in the middle (for the head/neck) and then casting back on those stitches the next row in that place..and then decreasing one stitch at the beginning of each row until I am down to the point again. Works good.

Crochet Beret Pattern (help?)
Q

Actually, I could not easily find it either. Several of us are making ponchos with it for our daughters for the holidays. Three of us ended up buying it (Lion Boucle) in lots from Ebay, and two others purchased the Bernat brand instead from AC Moore (it is very similar, but the skeins are MUCH bigger). Michaels does not seem to carry Lion Boucle anymore, but AC Moore does and I think that Joanns does too (those are our only options around here). There are some online stores too, but I didn't use those. Just google "Lion Boucle" and you'll find them. What are you making with it? It's a great yarn, but frustrating to work with! Good luck!

Sorry about that!
It's the slanted shell stitch baby afghan that everyone is looking for.
Someone out there has it.

If you would be so kind to just let me know what size needle and thread/yarn you are using I would appreciate that. That blanket is beautiful. I would be glad to pay a little for the pattern. Laura

Goodness gracious....looks like this is the pattern. The original one (pink) seems to be made of thread, and this one appears to be wool.

kafskorner is this your pattern? And would you share if it were?

I adore this pattern - someone said it was for sale on ebay at one time - for about $25 - I would gladly pay that much for it! I went to the photobucket link but the picture has been deleted. I have been looking for this pattern for a long time. If the owner of this pattern is selling on ebay I would love an ebay ID to contact. Pretty please with sugar on it.

Eureka!!! I found out the name of the stitch used - it is the Crocodile Stitch. There are some patterns for sale on Etsy under Crochet/Patterns - Bonita Patterns - and I just bought a triangle shawl pattern using this stitch. The pattern starts from the point of the triangle and works by increasing each row to make a triangle. So I should be able to make a square baby blanket by continuing with the triangle DECREASING down from the halfway point to a final point. Crocheting a square diagonally from corner to corner. There is a tutorial on You Tube for Crocodile Stitch too. And this blog has a lot more about it http://yarn-muse.blogspot.com/2011/01/crocodile-stitch.html

I can't wait to get started!

I really like that stitch! Looking at the baby blanket close up, however, I'm not sure it is the same. The blanket looks to be more open and not overlaping so much.

I just printed out and started the "Snow Queen Shawl" and I believe this is the same pattern if you use the variation she lists to make the "fans" stand out a little more. The pattern is from Sunshines Creations but I just googled "Snow Queen Shawl" and IT IS FREE!!

I came across the fan pattern during my search for mitten patterns.

The snow queen pattern is open and lacy so not the same but have saved that to make a shawl, love it. The fan pattern I have had that saved for a while but I would need it all written out to make the full blanket on the diagonal but hopefully it will work for someone. Mary
