Crochet Baby Blanket

I have stopped and started this blanket so many times. I had to do another baby blanket because i just was not satisfied with the way the first one looked. I didn't have the pattern on hand when i started this project but i remembered enough to make this beauty. The pattern is as such

• Ch 3 join with Sl st to form a ring
• Ch 3 counts as 1 DC, 2 DC in same space

Round 1

1. ch1
2. 3 dc in next space
3. repeat steps 1- 2 two more times.
4. Sl st to top of bg ch 3
   

Round 2 - 10

• sl st in to next dc space
• repeat in next 2 dc sp and ch1 sp
• ch 3, 2 dc in same space

1. ch 1
2. 3 dc in next space
3. repeat steps 1 - 2 until reach bg ch. sl st in top of ch3

Repeat until you have 10 rows - complete 1 granny sq. make 9 granny sq total and join with whip stitch.

Crocheted Starburst Hotpad

My search for great kitchen item crochet patterns has turned up a success.The photo you see is for a hot pad, isn't it just great!This pattern works up in less than 1 hour and it's really fun to watch it transform into this nice starburst. I used Lilly sugar-n-cream yarn to work up this beauty. Click the links for the pattern & video

Crochet Dish/Wash Cloth

My crocheting tasks have started. Last month i made several dish/wash cloths but failed to take photos of them. I really like the star stitch for my cloths & pot holders. This stitch works up really fast and is so pretty when complete. I have started a new pot holder using the star stitch and will post when complete. I used the following link to learn the star stitch :

Fall is around the corner

Fall is on the horizon and i can't wait to start crocheting. I have decided to start with dish and wash cloths this year. I would like to whip up a few using the star stitch, i think this would be really cool in light blue and white. I will post photos once i get started.
