A Midsummer Night's Dream (Solid Interlocking)
Added 2022-10-22 18:18:26 +0000 UTCFirst two rows. Bottom up, "body" of the blanket. Tricks and tips.
Abbreviations (US terms):
F – dc in front, B – dc behind. There is always ch next to F (or B) except the end of the row.
f and b are dc in solid meshes. Always crochet ch next to f or b clusters except the end of the row.
00:00:00 Foundation Row 1B
00:06:10 Foundation Row 1A
00:06:34 Weave through the B layer
00:10:30 Finishing the row 1A
00:17:46 My way of crocheting dc in front of ch, connection layers
00:23:46 B59, "classical" way
00:24:24 My way of crocheting dc behind, connection layers
00:21:39 My way of crocheting B, connecting the layers
00:27:19 Row 18 WS B (second row B)
00:38:43 Row 18 WS A (second row A)
"connected" F: yarn over, insert the hook under two loop, yarn over and pull up a loop (you'll have 3 loops on your hook). Insert the hook from bottom up under the front loop of contrasting ch, yarn over again and pull through contrasting loop and 2 of the loops on the hook. Yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook.
"connected" B: Insert the hook top down under the back loop of contrasting ch, yarn over, insert the hook under two loop, yarn over and pull up a loop (you'll have 4 loops on your hook). Yarn over again, and pull through 3 loops. Yarn over, pull through both loops on the hook.
This method is especially convenient when crocheting the first rows and when you have large areas without interweaving 😊
