Zendoodle Blanket Free Crochet Pattern – PART 3

Published by

Welcome to PART 3 of the second free pattern of my five-blanket Linen Stitch series. Zendoodle Blanket is a pattern you may recognize.

Continuous Granny Stitch Join As You Go for Squares

Published by

Hello again! Today I have a new-to-this-blog crochet join which will be another alternate joining method for the 2020 VVCAL. It’s the crochet Continuous Granny Stitch Join as-you-go (CJAYG) for squares, and I am using it specifically for my “Fresh Earth” colorway (Scheepjes Catona yarn). For the regular Granny Stitch JAYG tutorial (not continous), head to this blog post! You can now find the Granny Stitch JAYG and CJAYG in a convenient PDF format for easy printing and totally ad-free. My 2020 VVCAL Squares Before I start, here are some of my squares. The final stitch count is 88 sc, but you can use this join for any square stitch count, as long as you evenly spread out the 3dc groups. You’ll see what I mean later on! Don’t you just love a pile of different squares? That’s one of my favorite things about the VVCAL projects. After 2016, 2018, and 2020, there are now over 100 square patterns to mix and match! If you want to find out more about the Fresh Earth palette …

Granny Stitch Join As You Go for Squares

Hello again! Today I have a new-to-this-blog crochet join which will be the second alternate joining method for the 2020 VVCAL. It’s the crochet Granny Stitch Join as-you-go (JAYG) for squares, and I am using it specifically for my “Fresh Earth” colorway (Scheepjes Catona yarn). You can now find the Granny Stitch JAYG and CJAYG in a convenient PDF format for easy printing and totally ad-free. I will be posting tutorials for both the regular join as-you-go (this post) and the continuous join as-you-go for this granny stitch join. In this post, you will find the regular JAYG. I hope you enjoy it! What’s the difference? Briefly, for the regular JAYG you join each square individually, cutting the yarn after each square is joined on to the blanket. For the continuous JAYG (or CJAYG) you join squares one column at a time, making a specific continuous path around the squares like if you were drawing around them without picking up your pencil. You only cut the yarn after all the squares are joined together. This …

2020 VVCAL: Single Crochet JAYG and Continuous JAYG with PLT Join

Published by

Hey, gorgeous crafter! Today I am sharing the first alternate joining method for the 2020 VVCAL. This join is perfect for the suggested yarn amounts of the Scheepjes Stone Washed and River Washed 10g Colour Pack version. It’s also great if you want a simple and narrow join, or if you don’t have a whole lot of yarn for joining. SC JAYG/CJAYG with PLT Join It’s a mouthful, but this is the Single Crochet join as-you-go and continuous join as-you-go featuring my PLT (pull loop through) Join. I’ve published these 2 methods previously, and you can find them here: SC JAYG with PLT Join SC CJAYG with PLT Join I have also formatted these 2 joining methods into an ad-free condensed PDF file if it’s more convenient. You can find that on Etsy and Ravelry. The cool thing is, you can a lot of mix and match versatility with these joining techniques. You can make a DC JAYG with PLT Join, or an SC CJAYG with PLT Join, and really mix it up any way …
