meu mundo mandala Rounds 11 - 20

 

meu mundo mandala



English Translation

Disclaimer - This is NOT my pattern. I Just love it so much I stumbled through the non english version to help figure out the chart I could not read. The YouTube video is here for Part 1 and Part 2 Here (in Dutch?) and her pattern chart is on this site. If the site is no longer working, as may be the case, here is the full pattern chart image.



Materials:

3 mm crochet hook

200g cotton twirl 

(I used Lana Grossa Shades of Cotton Linen - Colour Natur/Hellblau/Hellgrau/Grau (704))

or a Scheepies whirl also works great.

stich markers
scissors


Be patient, go slow. Take a good look at the chart and try to understand how the pattern goes. Now if you are like me reading the chart is like a foreign language and left you confused. That's when I headed over to the video on YouTube. Starting, stopping, forward, backward, I eventually figured it out but her video did not show all the little steps to take so I started writing this out.  It's likely not perfect, I'm new to this so forgive me, but it's a great tool to help follow the chart and video to make your own meu mundo mandala.

Here's a close up of rounds 11 - 20 with and without row indicators. When I had trouble following the rows I printed these images and used a highlighter to follow where I should be going.






Special Stiches

Pico - This is a stich that looks like a P. To Pico you chain 3 and then SLST CH1 and CH3 together.

2-3-2 - This is a combination of 2 DC, CH3, 2 DC into the same space, usually a CH3 space from a previous row.

How to Read

This post is written in US crochet terms with the following shorthand:
SC - single crochet
DC - double crochet
CH SP - chain space
CH - chain
SLST - slip stich

Advice

Check each repeat BEFORE you start another.  I had to frog this SO many time because of missed stiches or counting incorrectly.  Before each repeat check your work!  You will thank yourself later.

The video shows working into the CH stiches but I found doing that led to a looser messier look so I chose to work into the CH spaces.  I only work into completed stiches.

Let's continue on!

Round 11

SLST 3 times, CH 3, (Counts as first DC), mark this as your starting chain. 
Your starting CH 3 should be in the 4th DC from Round 10.
DC into the next 3 stiches, *2-3-2 in the CH 3 space from round 10, DC in the next 4 stiches (you will leave 3 DC from previous round unworked)
CH 4, 2-3-2 into the CH 3 space from round 10, CH 4, leave 3 DC from previous round unworked, DC into next 4 stiches*
Repeat * to * around, but on the final repeat you will SLST the CH 4 into the top of the chain you marked at the start.

Round 12

SLST 3 times, CH 3, (Counts as first DC), mark this as your starting chain.

Starfish 12 inch Granny Square

The Starfish Granny Square This fun square works up fast and is a great way to use up some worsted weight yarn you have laying around.  Depending on the look you want you can use 1, 2 or 3 colors to make these squares.  The pattern is for 3 colors and indicates where you need to switch colors.  Using the suggested hook and weight of yarn you will get a 12 inch square (measured diagonally).

Butterfly Corner to Corner Blanket

Image
Completed blanket with one "hidden" Butterfly Crochet for me is an outlet for creativity but it is also a way to support the causes that I love.  This blanket is one example.  It is a corner to corner pattern with butterflies that I created for the Turner Syndrome fundraising walk held in Minneapolis annually.  I’ve made two of these blankets so far and each one makes me feel happy.  The corner to corner pattern is fast to build up, aka fast rewards, and seeing the butterflies pop out of the background is super satisfying.  The comments I received from the bidders was probably the best part aside from raising the most money for a single item at the auction. WIP for Turner Syndrome Auction event. Here’s the basic details on this blanket.  It comes out close to twin size.  I really should have measured it but as you can see it covers our large sofa, roughly 6 feet by 4 feet.  Using a different yarn or hook will of course give you different results.  You can se
