Wild Spirit

Thank you for your interest in my latest design Wild Spirit, if you have seen my other patterns, you know that I love Native American designs so that’s why I wanted to create a whole picture pattern for the first time. An overlay mosaic crochet design using US terminology. At the start and finish of every row will be a single crochet stitch. These are separate to the pattern, and you will go through both loops of these stitches at either end. I call these Anchor stitches, [AS]. Every single crochet is written as ‘s’, and every double crochet is written as ‘D’. I hope that you find it as easy as I do! You cut the yarn and alternate the colours with each row. This design is 178 stitches by 165 rows and has a written pattern, detailed border and charts, and a full chart of the whole pattern, they are all in separate PDFs so check your library. I used 4PLY Scheepjes Whirl, Scrumptious Lush and Scheepjes Whirlette in Tasty Treat, with a size 3mm hook. It was the first time I’ve used such thin yarn, but the result is lovely although much smaller than I expected, my testers yarn usage is at the bottom of the PDF, they used double knit yarn so there’s came out much bigger, have a look. My blanket without the border weighs 316g. For my border I used the surplus yarn left amounting to an extra 112g. Scrumptious Lush [225g-1000m cake], I used 182g-958m. 1 cake. Tasty Treat [100g-455m cake], I used 134g-609m. 2 cakes. My blanket size with the border in 4ply yarn, width 79cm, height 70cm. See the testers information at the end of the PDF for other yarn usage. I have all of my testers information in the written pattern PDF for more detailed information. In Double knit yarn the measurements are approximately 115/95cm, using a total of 850g. In Aran [worsted weight] yarn the measurements are approximately 56x46 inches. PERMANENT SALE 15% OFF 2 PATTERNS 25% OFF 3 OR MORE PATTERNS NO CODE NEEDED!
