Uk and US Terminology
This is a written crochet pattern with step-by-step pictures and symbol-style graphs. Separate copies using both US and UK crochet terminology are included.
This pattern features simple stitches and uses brackets to indicate repeat sections.
The design is one size only, but you can adjust the size by using different yarns and hook sizes. It makes a beautiful christening blanket, a stunning tablecloth, or, when worked in thread, an elegant table centerpiece—so many possibilities!
For the sample, I used Bendigo Woollen Mills 4ply Cotton. Any suitable yarn can be used, but solid colors or slow gradient yarns will provide the best results.
