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.
