I'm so excited to share with you my latest design! I had this idea to use my logo to create a graphgan. I'd never made a graphgan myself before and thought it would be too much work, to much yarn and oy, those color changes! So many ends to weave!
I have made c2c blankets and I love the stitch, so I decided to just jump in with it!
I recently learned mini c2c stitch, basically you use a hdc stitch instead of a dc so it uses less yarn and make a smaller square. I fell in love even more!
I designed 9 whimsical squares and have a few ideas for more. I'll be posting about 2 squares a week over the next 5 weeks! The last week I'll share the last square and border I used. I'm not holding an official Crochet along but if you want to make one as I post each week. I'll be fresh to answer questions along the way. You are welcome to post on my
facebook page,
group or tag me on
instagram @calleighsclips so we can have fun together!
Since I used the mini c2c stitch all my info will be based off that but feel free to have fun with this.
Use a different stitch, c2c, bobbles, sc, your preferred graph method.
You can use different colors, yarn sizes or hook choices.
You are not stuck on what I use. Be creative and have fun!
If you are a planner like me, I have a materials list for the whole blanket. If you have a decent stash like I do I had every thing on hand already. I'm doing good sticking to my no - new yarn ban.
See Release Schedule at the end of the post!
Be sure to add this to your Raverly Favorites and link up your projects so I can see your progress.
