February 20, 2016 By Beatrice Ryan Designs 2 Comments

This week we can really see our Crochet with Me!! Crochet-A-Long Afghan really starting to take shape… We are well past half way and headed towards the finish line…

This week we will be doing just a few more rows of the Shells and Chains… Then back to our section of bumpy texture!! You will fly thru this section since you have used all of these stitches in the previous week… Since this is all stitching we have done before… there really are no tips to share… You may still be noticing some areas seem a bit smaller or tighter and a bit of waviness… Just to remind you that by doing our thick side edges and a border,,, Then followed by blocking, your project should lay nicely at the end!!

Lets get started…

Row 101: Ch 1, turn, sc in the 1st 2 sts, *ch 5, sk the 5dc shell, sc in the next sc*, Repeat * * across = 25 ch5, 27 sc

Make sure to add this pattern to your FAVORITES on Ravelry for easy access and sharing your progress! Click Here!!

A couple of notes from last week… All the textural stitches should be on one side, which is the right side. If some of the rows seem to be a bit narrower that others, we will be blocking our project and putting a nice edging on at the end.. This should take care of squaring up the afghan unless it is off by a large amount. Just make sure you are checking your stitch count!!

So,, If you are ready, let’s get started with Week 4!!
