The SCHEEPJES "Get Connected" MAL is going to take place in the [OFFICIAL SCHEEPJES - International Group][1] and [OFFICIAL SCHEEPJES - Nederlandse Groep][2] There is a FREE version on my blog [HERE][3]and a ready to print PDF version here on Raverly** **Materials** Hook: 4.00mm / 4.50mm Yarn A: 3 balls (135g used) Scheepjes River Washed Steenbras 942, 78% Cotton x 22% Acrylic, 50grams/130meters Yarn B: 3 balls (105g used) Scheepjes River Washed Narmada 962, 78% Cotton x 22% Acrylic, 50grams/130meters Border Yarn C: 1 ball Scheepjes Stone Washed Lemon Quartz 812, 78% Cotton x 22% Acrylic, 50grams/130meters **Measurements** 50cm x 50cm / 19,68in x 19,68in (with border) **Abbreviations (U.K. terms)** ch(s) chain or chain stitches ss slip stitch dc double crochet tr treble dc2tog double crochet 2 together: (insert hook in st/sp, yoh, pull up loop) twice, yoh, draw through all loops dc3tog double crochet 3 together: (insert hook in st/sp, yoh, pull up loop) 3 times, yoh, draw through all loops blo back loop only: insert hook under back loop only flo front loop only inc increase dec decrease rep repeat ws wrong side rs right side st(s) stitch(es) **Pattern Notes** • Read the whole pattern before you start. • Ch1 or ch2 at beg of row does not count as st. First dc is always worked in same stitch as ch1. • Pattern is worked on rs only. (except first 7 and last 9 rows). • Pattern is crocheted corner to corner. • All dcs are worked in blo, except the first 7 and last 9 rows and the stitches in first and last stitch of every row. • Dc2tog in the beginning and the end of every decreasing row are crocheted through both loops. • All trs are worked in flo in the second row beneath (same color row). Except border. • When crocheting the pattern yarn is cut after every row. Except first 7 and last 9 rows. • The pattern increases with two stitches from row 1 to 69 and increases from row 71 to 139 • To make a cushion you have 3 possibilities Make two squares and crochet them together, hiding all loose ends in between the two squares. Make a square in one color in dc only without the mosaic pattern by following the increases and decreases. Make the border and sew the square on a plane cushion cover (that’s what I did).
