pages are turning but not much is being achieved. We are already in
the second half of 2021!</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">When
the lockdown was announced I thought with so much time on hand and
nowhere to go, I will crochet heaps of items and write a ton of
patterns.</span></p>

ended up adding more stuff to my WIPs basket...Lol.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Designed
a lot of patterns but Iβm yet to write them down in proper format.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Blamed
it squarely on the Fam and protested that having them around All the
time was disrupting my creative flow. Not that it affected them one
bit.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The
only thing that bothered them was βWhatβs the menu for the next
meal?β. This question would usually pop up even before we were done
with the current meal!!</span></p>

procedure for making Front Post single crochet, Front Post Half

same as far as insertion of the hook is concerned, after that they
have to be completed just like their regular versions. (I hope that
sentence made sense.)</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The
difference between a front post and a back post stitch is <i><u>just the direction</u></i> in which the hook is inserted.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">So
letβs start, we have our usual 3 ch to begin the row, then yarn

we insert the hook between stitches from the back to the front and

I mentioned earlier post stitches are great for adding texture to
your projects and are used to form various stitches like Waffle
stitch, Alpine stitch, Basketweave stitch, crochet cables and even
ribbing.</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">So, you absolutely must have Post Stitches in your
repertoire.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We
will cover some of these stitches later. The very first pic of this post π shows an example of
crochet ribbing using alternate front post and back post stitches.</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I have used this post stitch ribbing technique in the free <a href="https://www.crochetkari.com/2021/03/crochet-flora-beanie-free-pattern.html" target="_blank">Flora beanie crochet pattern</a>, so do check that out.</span></p>

friends,π</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">I
hope you and your loved ones are fine and in good health.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">In
the last few weeks if you tried reaching my blog via Pinterest or
Instagram, and couldnβt get through, I apologize for that.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">It
was a domain level issue (affecting thousands of people), and
I could only wait and watch while the domain name was transferred
from the old registrar to the new one by the concerned authorities.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">But
now my blog is up and running and I am so relieved!</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">In the previous post, I discussed <b><a href="https://www.crochetkari.com/2021/03/4-ways-to-work-into-crochet-stitch.html" target="_blank">Four ways to work into a crochet stitch</a></b>, if you are a beginner crocheter you may want to check it out.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">The next post was to be How to crochet Post Stitches but instead, I have
a free pattern for you.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt;">Crochet
helped me immensely during the lockdowns in India, so I decided to
release a few of my paid patterns on the blog. I hope these patterns
help you get through these difficult times.</span></p>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Namaste
friends,</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I
hope your life is flourishing in the βnew normalβ which was a gift from 2020.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Yes,
2020 was a tough year that left no one unscathed regardless of age,
sex, race, wealth or profession!</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It
was also a year of learning, adjustment and innovation.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">For
me personally it meant doing something I love in a very different
manner.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;">And
that is teaching crochet. I love Crochet and I consider it a Life
Skill rather than a craft and I think everybody should know how to
crochet.</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Since
I couldnβt carry on with my in-person classes I had to learn how to
take my classes online. At first, I was adamant that it was not
possible but my family egged me on and I am so glad they did.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">My
students enjoyed the classes and sent me cute pictures of their
projects upon completion of the course.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">But,
the most frequently asked beginner question was βWhere do I insert
the hook?β</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;">Hence
this post! :)</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia;">* This post <span class="IL_AD" color="rgb(27, 142, 222) !important" id="IL_AD4" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-clip: initial !important; background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important; background-origin: initial !important; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 50% !important; background-repeat: repeat !important; background-size: initial !important; background: none 0% 50% repeat scroll transparent; border-bottom: 1px dotted rgb(27, 142, 222); cursor: pointer; display: inline; float: none; padding: 0px 0px 1px; position: static;">contains</span> affiliate links which if you use for any purchase, may yield me a small commission, at no extra cost to you.

let us see the anatomy of a crochet stitch.</span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AvsTrfKh_Sg/YFXqM4qCJgI/AAAAAAAADbA/lKTn0U07fpQpblS0mla_217PHzCDXUkCQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1280/Anatomy%2Bof%2Ba%2Bcrochet%2Bstitch.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Parts of a crochet stitch" border="0" data-original-height="870" data-original-width="1280" height="272" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AvsTrfKh_Sg/YFXqM4qCJgI/AAAAAAAADbA/lKTn0U07fpQpblS0mla_217PHzCDXUkCQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h272/Anatomy%2Bof%2Ba%2Bcrochet%2Bstitch.jpg" title="Anatomy of crochet stitch" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Firstly we have the Top of the stitch which looks like a little βvβ also simply
called βthe stitchβ.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;">The
V consists of two loops, the loop closest to you is called the Front loop and
the loop facing away from you is called the Back loop. </span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span>This naming of the
loops has nothing to do with the right side (front) of your project
or the wrong side (back) of your project. </span></span>
</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;">Then
we have the Post or body of the stitch. The size of the post depends on the
stitch made ie: single crochet, half double crochet or double crochet
etc.</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Lastly there is the base of the stitch, the place where the stitch
originates, the part that is worked into the stitch or space below.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial;">Normally
when making a stitch we will insert our hook under Both loops of the
V. This is an unspoken rule and holds true for all crochet patterns,
unless the pattern mentions otherwise.</span></span></p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Namaste friends!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gifting season is fast approaching and since we are already in October I am sure you are frantically crocheting/knitting/painting or crafting whatever you are best at. :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Handmade gifts are any day preferable to store bought ones. But very often we are hesistant to start a handmade project, and there could be various reasons for that;</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a) you are a newbie crocheter</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">b) you have a large family which means tons of gifts to make!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">c) you have very little time for crochet given your busy schedule</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">d) you have a tough time deciding what to make.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course there could be tons of other reasons too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Namaste friends, <b><span style="color: orange;">Happy</span> <span style="color: #073763;">Republic</span> <span style="color: #38761d;">Day</span></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today India celebrates its 70th Republic Day and it is a proud day for every Indian. As per the tradition started by my Dad, I watched the Republic Day parade on TV. I love watching the parade, the spirited marching, the tableaus and the dances performed by school children. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don't patriotic celebrations and the National Anthem leave you teary-eyed? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No? Only me?... Okay, never mind. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On a side note, I don't understand all this controversy about (not) standing up for the National Anthem when it is played at the beginning of movies, at the theatres. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Young men are giving up their lives at our borders so that you can relax, live a normal life and watch a movie whenever you want to. And you cannot stand up for 52 seconds while the National Anthem is playing! Disgusting!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Worry not, that is the end of my rant :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now, on to the crochet front, I am going to share my most favourite project till date - the <a href="http://everytrickonthehook.com/crochet-alongs/stardust-melodies-cal/" target="_blank"><b>Stardust Melodies Blanket</b></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Pattern:</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This pattern was a CAL on </span><a href="http://everytrickonthehook.com/crochet-alongs/stardust-melodies-cal/" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank"><b>Every Trick on the Hook</b></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> by the super talented Polly Plum. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It consists of 24 squares and 2 different types of borders. The CAL ran for 13 weeks with two patterns being released per week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now for the best part! Twelve of the squares were free (still free on the blog) and twelve were paid patterns on Ravelry. I decided to make only the free ones and repeat them to make my blanket. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But two weeks into the CAL I was in love with the patterns and decided to make all the squares. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As you can see it was totally worth it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yarn:</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The reason I was excited about this project was that it gave me a chance to get out my favourite yarn which I had been hoarding for years viz: <a href="https://amzn.to/2CINNZX" target="_blank"><b>Stylecraft Special DK</b>.</a><b>*</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had purchased the yarn from Deramores over the years, in small lots. Mainly because the cost of yarn along with shipping fees made it a bit expensive. And I was going to use it only for a very special project. </span></div>

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The shades I chose are Apricot, Citron, Meadow, Pomegranate, Sherbet, Shrimp and Turquoise. I wanted a bright nursery theme and a mix of colours that would make the blanket lovely enough for a girl or a boy. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hook:</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used a <b><a href="https://amzn.to/2Tll6JT" target="_blank">4.50 mm hook</a>*</b> for the blanket, which was the recommended hook. It has given a lovely drape to the blanket.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was going to block the blanket before posting it, but as "done is better than perfect", I decided to proceed with the blog post and not succumb to procrastination.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Each square was a delight and while some squares were a bit difficult, the ebook has charts for all squares. Polly has even added how-to videos on <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=fSapXVAN1Tw" target="_blank">Youtube</a>.</b></span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I joined the squares by holding them wrong sides together and sc into the back loops only. Since the squares were textured, I liked the ridge between the squares.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In spite of all that texture going on, on the front, the back of the blanket is really neat making it just right for little ones!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Can you tell I am in love with the blanket!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">While it is all fine to say "Age is just a number", I think nature always catches up. I am now in my early fifties and while making this blanket I got a sudden and real urge to have little grand-babies playing around me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Since that is a few years away I will just keep this blanket safely wrapped up, in anticipation. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In the meanwhile, my hexagon blanket is still in the WIPs basket waiting for a border and hopefully, I can reach a decision soon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you are following me on <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sangeethavprabhu/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></b> as I share my progress pics and crochet experiments there, before posting on the blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Another bit of news is that all my patterns are now available on <b><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/stores/crochetkari" target="_blank">Ravelry</a> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yes, moving across states, an overseas trip, a change of job by hubby are facts that cannot be ignored. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But, at the end of the day, these are just excuses and not reasons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For now, let us "persist" with the hexagon blanket and proceed towards completion. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hexagons can be joined using many different methods. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For this blanket, I joined the hexagons by slip stitching them together in the back loops only.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Each </span>ch in<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> the ch-2 sp is joined to the adjacent hexagon. Three hexagons will join at any corner.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can follow this exact method to SEW your hexagons together using a sewing needle, but I prefer to crochet them together.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hope you found this tutorial useful. Do give this blanket a try as it is a very, very simple pattern.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now off I go to decide a border for this blanket.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let me know if you have any queries. Happy crocheting.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently I downloaded a planner that had a section for <b><i>"Twenty before 2020"</i></b>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think it is a great idea. I am definitely going to make my list.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why don't you give it a try? It will be fun to come back to the list in January 2020 and check how many of the goals you have achieved.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">See you in the New Year!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Namaste friends, how are you?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Busy with your gift making/buying? Or are you lucky enough to reach the gift wrapping stage!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let me help you with these ready-in-a-jiffy Free crochet patterns for a <a href="https://www.crochetkari.com/2015/12/free-crochet-pattern-slant-n-stripe.html" target="_blank"><b>scarf</b></a> and <a href="https://www.crochetkari.com/2017/11/harmony-cowl-free-crochet-pattern.html" target="_blank"><b>cowl</b></a>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">November really flew by and for me, the main reasons were Diwali celebrations and long road trips. Since I don't drive, I am always in the passenger seat. And just staring out of the window while twiddling your thumbs seems like a crime to me! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I needed a crochet project that I could easily carry with me and it had to be easy enough to crochet in a moving car while occasionally admiring the passing scenery. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-et8N1sSZv4Q/XBpAGAFCsJI/AAAAAAAAC8Q/Hhamy78t2uQZzPBM4PBESED7Ojvu5ok2gCLcBGAs/s1600/Crochet%2Bhexagon%2Bblanket%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Crochetkari hexagon blanket pattern" border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-et8N1sSZv4Q/XBpAGAFCsJI/AAAAAAAAC8Q/Hhamy78t2uQZzPBM4PBESED7Ojvu5ok2gCLcBGAs/s640/Crochet%2Bhexagon%2Bblanket%2B1.jpg" title="Crochet hexagon blanket pattern" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Hexagon crochet blanket seemed an ideal project to carry along. The hexagon pattern is very easy, in fact you could actually crochet it while looking out of the window. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I decided to go for a new colour scheme, something different from my usual choice of bright colours. I think I would call this a woodland colour scheme with its brown, green and yellow colours. Do you like this colour combination?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In fact, with a chunky yarn, you could go on increasing and end up with a lovely hexagon blanket/rug.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some patterns call for ch 3 at the corners, but for this blanket, I found that ch 2 was sufficient. Feel free to adapt the pattern to suit your purpose.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are the hexagons all joined together. I was going to stop here but the colours and the size of the hexagons seemed "too loud" for a baby blanket so I am going to add a few more motifs and make it a throw.</span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Joining the hexagons</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my first hexagon blanket - which you can see <a href="https://www.crochetkari.com/2012/05/state-of-hexcitement.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> I used the join-as-you-go method also known as JAYGO. But as this blanket was supposed to be a portable project I made all the hexagons first and then joined them.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The hexies are joined on the wrong side by slip stitching into the back loops only. I will go into detail in my next post.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted the colour placement to be random. But "random" is something that just does not come easily to me. Maybe it is the Virgo in me, Lol!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I came up with this chart to help me.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love this method of joining as the hexagons seem to magically float next to each other and the actual joining needs only 2-3 days, (speed depending on what's on the telly). LOL! </span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had blocked the blanket but as I plan to add more motifs it is still a WIP.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted to keep the sides straight so I have added half hexagons to the sides. The top and bottom edges will remain rippled.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Any suggestions for a border for this blanket are most welcome. :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Please let me have your ideas in the comments.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Namaste friends. Sharing my latest pattern - the Flowers in my window cowl crochet pattern.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Did you have pen friends when you were a teen? My brother and I had lots of pen pals all over the globe. Wonder where I am going with this? :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our European pen pals would send us beautiful photos in which the houses would have these beautiful boxes in the windows filled with gorgeous colourful flowers. Those lovely flowers were the inspiration behind the name of this cowl. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sadly, no one uses snail mail anymore and we are no longer in touch with our pen pals. Somehow an email does not have the same warmth as a beautifully written long letter filled with anecdotes and juicy gossip.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The inspiration for this cowl pattern was a small crochet chart diagram on <b><a href="https://in.pinterest.com/crochetkari/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></b>. It looked like small four-petaled flowers strewn across a lattice background.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At first glance, it may look like many motifs have been joined together, but the cowl is worked in one piece. And it is worked in the round no there is no seaming involved.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I modified the pattern slightly to make it seamless. And like most of my patterns, this cowl too starts with a round of foundation single crochet, so no long chains to count.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Namaste friends, Mumbai is bedecked with flower garlands, strings of colourful lights and everywhere you can hear music that makes you want to get on your feet and dance. All this is in celebration of Navratri - the festival that celebrates Shakti - woman power, and the triumph of good over evil. I have mentioned a bit more about Navratri in this <b><a href="http://bit.ly/C2Cscarf">post</a>.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Nav</b> also means New and my BFF Ashlesha egged me on that there is no better time to begin my new foray back into blogging, to write my first post for 2018. So a big thanks to her for her encouragement.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ahem... by the way, did you see I mentioned Mumbai above! Yes, my friends, we have finally moved back to Mumbai our hometown and we are thrilled to bits. :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Seven years is a long time to spend away from your family, siblings and friends. But I will always have fond memories of Ahmedabad - the clean and beautiful roads, the tons of fast food options and of course the lovely friends I have there.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Year 2018 brought a lot of wonderful things for us;</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Hubby was offered a new job in Mumbai - hence the move back,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- we shifted to a new house near his workplace, where I got one room especially for my yarn!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- our son completed his Masters and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- we went to the US for his convocation!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Unfortunately, in all this excitement, my blog was neglected, but always on my mind. Now how does one get back into things after such a long gap? With baby steps of course! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now the good thing is that through all this, I was crocheting like crazy. Had to, as that is the only thing that kept me from going bonkers. Even crocheted on the plane from Mumbai to Atlanta and then back from New York to Mumbai! I have a set of wooden crochet hooks specially bought for this purpose. Can't afford to lose my special favourite hooks in airport security, you see. ;)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Namaste friends! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am sure many of you are frantically crocheting/knitting/sewing/crafting to get your gifts done in time. So it seemed like the perfect time to share my pattern for the Harmony Cowl.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UQJYqsW21-M/Wh_wOrp9VbI/AAAAAAAAC1A/-Ph-IvqK1WwgmTDGOz1LZK6SUdNTbCvsQCLcBGAs/s1600/Harmony%2BCowl%2Bfree%2Bcrochet%2Bpattern.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Harmony cowl free pattern" border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="735" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UQJYqsW21-M/Wh_wOrp9VbI/AAAAAAAAC1A/-Ph-IvqK1WwgmTDGOz1LZK6SUdNTbCvsQCLcBGAs/s640/Harmony%2BCowl%2Bfree%2Bcrochet%2Bpattern.png" title="Harmony cowl crochet pattern" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When two of my favourite crochet stitches blended harmoniously to make this cowl, Harmony seemed like an apt name for it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6w9MszeILgs/Wh_wqzTafPI/AAAAAAAAC1I/fcB81J3eQRABAQM-bFvatrhRN30jyJEoQCEwYBhgL/s1600/Harmony%2Bcowl%2Bbeige%2B5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Harmony cowl free crochet pattern" border="0" data-original-height="1093" data-original-width="1305" height="536" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6w9MszeILgs/Wh_wqzTafPI/AAAAAAAAC1I/fcB81J3eQRABAQM-bFvatrhRN30jyJEoQCEwYBhgL/s640/Harmony%2Bcowl%2Bbeige%2B5.JPG" title="Harmony cowl free pattern" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I like the Camel stitch as it creates a really elegant stitch with a faux knit look and is wonderful for edges. The moss stitch is dainty and produces a soft, lovely fabric.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jeT4OBi79iM/Wh_w9ZZZJZI/AAAAAAAAC1M/SAtK0pnVJKELSsXag6D0YDIciU8xnCxYwCLcBGAs/s1600/Harmony%2Bcowl%2Bborder.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Harmony cowl pattern border" border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jeT4OBi79iM/Wh_w9ZZZJZI/AAAAAAAAC1M/SAtK0pnVJKELSsXag6D0YDIciU8xnCxYwCLcBGAs/s640/Harmony%2Bcowl%2Bborder.JPG" title="Harmony cowl border detail" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Harmony cowl pattern ticks so many boxes - it is unisex, chainless, seamless, a stash buster and works up in a jiffy. Use as many colours as you like in the body of the cowl. The light brown cowl has four colours and the cream cowl uses three colours in the body. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
