...and since then I've been meaning to do a post with the instructions. This was going to be the week. I was going to sit down and make the parts to construct a photo instruction post.
And yesterday was Christmas.
Not going to happen this week, either.
But, I can just post the instructions. With the promise that the photo essay is coming (eventually...). Okay?
I used worsted weight yarn and a size I hook, although any weight yarn can be used, just use the hook that's recommended for the yarn.
Start with the magic loop, and double crochet 12 dc into that loop. Slip stitch into the first chain 3, then chain 3, and work 2 dc into every dc of the previous round (24 dc around, counting the ch 3 as one dc). Slip stitch into the first chain 3, cut yarn, and draw through that stitch. This is the background.
Then the peace sign will be made with a yarn in the same weight but a contrasting color. Fold the round in half. Start at one end and single crochet down the middle.
Then for the "legs" of the sign, start at the middle and single crochet down to the bottom, starting at the dc that's two over from where the sc down the middle is. Do the same on the other side.
Wind the tails of yarn from the "legs" of the sign through the center sc to connect.
Then reverse single crochet (or crab stitch) around the outside (single crochet would work too, but I'm partial to rev sc). Wind in ends, and you're done.
Yeah, this'll make a lot more sense when you see it with pictures. Feel free to post any questions in the comments, and I'll make clearer anything that I can.
I'll show this to Meg. She loves looking at crochet stuff and knitting stuff. She knitted me a beanie for Xmas.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is a very talented crocheter. I'll have to send her a link.
