Help with a pattern

Hi there,

I’m new to crocheting and need some help with a pattern. Can one of you tell me how to crochet the outer white lace pattern on this blanket? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3OchhfEu0fY/UmbJpPjctyI/AAAAAAAAGTs/2rgmoqGxdGg/s1600/little+knotsaw13_im17+blanket.jpg

It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks and kind regards

Hi Sheepy,

to me it looks like

3 double crochets, one chain stitch

and just keep repeating that until the corner. Then work

3 double crochets, one chain stitch, 3 double crochets

to crochet around the curve.

By the way, the blanket looks great - you've found a lovely pattern.

Best regards

Jackie

Hi Jackie,

thanks a million for your help :-).

I’m trying to recreate this right now, but I’m not getting it. 3 double crochets, 1 chain stitch, then work the next double crochet into the same stitch as the previous double crochet? Crochet 2 double crochets, then work the next double crochet into the stitch after next? Because in the picture, it looks as if each group of 3 is always worked into one stitch, and then one stitch is skipped before the next group of 3. That’s how I’ve crocheted it now, but it doesn’t look like the picture ;-(

Yes, I recreated the blanket exactly as shown in the picture—except for the thick gray border at the bottom, which I made evenly narrow on all sides. The blanket turned out beautifully; now all that’s missing is the lace edging.

Best wishes

I think it’s:
2 tr, *1 tr, 1 ch, 1 tr in one stitch*, 2 tr. After this repeat, always skip 1 stitch with 1 ch and keep repeating that (except for the corners, which are a bit hard to make out)
After that, the *-* is always crocheted into the chain-space.
Best regards, Petra

Yay Petra,

thank you so much! I fiddled with it for a while ;-). If I do the skip after the repeat without the chain stitch, it works out.

Great, then I can finish this beautiful piece now.

Best regards,
