| Goldilocks Lapghan Created by Tam Cummings September 2, 2004 Size: about 52" x 32" Materials needed: Size I crochet hook Size F crochet hook 4 Skeins ww of Wheat by Red Heart Fiesta Row 1: With I hook Ch 132, sc in 2nd Ch from hook, *Ch1, skp 1 ch, sc in next ch, repeat from * across, turn, you should end with a sc. Row 2 - 173: Ch 1, sc in 1st sc, *Ch 1, sc in ch 1 sp, repeat from * across, sc in last sc of row, turn. Row 174: Repeat row 2, but do NOT turn at end of rown, continue with border. Border: Ch 1, rsc (reverse single crochet) in ea st and the end of each row around, 2 rsc in corners, do not turn. For the border you should start and stop in the same corner. Trim: Using F hook, in 1st corner, * ch 20, 3 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 3 sc in each ch working back towards the main piece, sl st to rsc of corner (same spot you started), repeat from * 2 more times, Fasten off yarn, one corner completed. (You should have 3 tassles in this one corner) Attach yarn in another corner with sl st, and repeat the trim process for each corner. Finish by weaving in loose ends and blocking if needed. The only problem I encountered was that my tension tightened up as I worked, so my starting rows were wider than my ending rows by a little bit. |

| I created this afghan to match my new couch. I was inspired by the yarn, Red Heart Fiesta Wheat. The yarn looks so nice all by itself that I used a simple stitch so as to not take away from it. I added tassels to each corner that were inspired by a crocheted doll that I was given as a child. The dolls arms and legs were made of crocheted spirals. If you don't feel like making them jsut put on regular fringe. I will try to put up better pictures soon. You can find the instructions for the RSC stitch on www.about.com on the crochet portion of the website. |
