My Crocheted and Knitted Items: Afghan Exchange

September 13, 2009

Afghan Exchange

This is what I made for the Afghan Exchange. I love it. It took the better part of 3 pounders of soft white, 1 skein of Deep Burgundy and 1 skein of Soft Sage. I decided to do a pillow with it as well since I had a pillow form just sitting here yearning to be used!!! LOL She has received it so I can post the pic now! It is queen size which is bigger than the requirement, but I just couldn't see sending a small one, not my style and she didn't have any little ones, so she needed an adult size for sure.

Free Crochet Pattern.....

Cotton Dish Sponges

Peaches and creme or sugar n cream worsted weight cotton and a G or H hook
ROW 1:Chain 20, sc in 2nd chain from hook and in every other chain , turn
ROW 2-7:ch 2 and HDC in each stitch to end, now just turn and HDC in each remaining chain down the other side.
this will make a pocket purse type shape and just use a SC in each stitch to close it up.
ROW 8: ch 1 SC, HDC, SC in same stitch, sk next 2 spaces and do a sc, hdc, sc in every 3rd space around.
Adjust any you need to make sure the shell trim goes all the way around.
I have also made these with up to 30 chains to start for a bigger cotton sponge.
