Hello everyone!! My name is Stacy and I'm from Houston, TX. I'm new to this and extremely excited. I have been crocheting for several years. I usually donate the things I create to hospitals, CPS, and the homeless. My son asked me to make a graphghan for his Dad. While trying to find the perfect picture I forgot all about his Dad and started to think about my own parents. I would love to do a graphghan of my brother. He passed away in 2010. Of course the only pictures I have of him are coming out really dark. I was trying to stick with black and white for my 1st graphghan. Anyone who can offer ideas of how to lighten it to make it a bit easier please share!! Also I see the max amount of stitches is 150. Approximately how large would this be using a size J hook doing single crochet.

Thanks! I look forward to hearing from anyone with ideas.

Melanie,

Crab stitch sound a lot like what we are calling it in Denmark.. Cheesy

It's a very easy pattern, so it wont take me very long to translate.. I'll do it in my winter break. Cheesy Have a lot of time for it there..

I am actually making another hat right now..
It's very.. ribbed.. :p haha

 

Please don't judge my pants.. :p
This hat is made from an alpaca/lamb wool blend.. It's the softest yarn I have EVER touched... Even softer than my highland wool/silk blend..
It's made on an I hook.. Cheesy
I allready hate the pattern.. it's a tough start, but very easy when you get to the point where I am now... Made in only hdc, and fphdc stitches..

I just started using this site but I already love it very much. How do I go about increasing my pattern sizes. I like to make big afghans the one I am presently working on is 250 by 280.

Thank you

Welcome!  Smile
