Week Three
Joining and Edging
Did you finish all your strips in the last week?
I know, ha, ha, very funny.
Took me 4 months.
So, if need be, please come back when you are ready to join and edge.
I'll be waiting for you. :-)
Meanwhile, here's the joining and edging tutorial for the Rockman Afghan.
It's a single crochet to join.
It's easy to match up the colors because the blocks are all in 7 rows.
It will look like this.
I like the ridge.
Please note that I had snipped the ends that were weaved in with the color change row, but I recommend that these ends remain and are crocheted into this joining single crochet row, as well.
Like this:
Front sides together.
Semi-weaved-in ends hanging out .
Weave them in while joining.
Like this.
Ends up looking pretty good.
The front side is good too.
And now....the super duper easy edge:
the first row is a single crochet all the way around the edge with...
three double crochets in each corner.
The mini-chocolate chips that are in these photos, are totally random, but maybe, even though we hear it should not be so, are a reward for finishing. :-)
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
I would love to show off your projects that you make with this pattern.

It's a single crochet to join.

I chose one color to join all rows because I had mostly light blue yarn to begin with;
however, I think that mixing up the colors would be fun, as well.
Place front or right sides against each other and start single crocheting them together like this:
I like the ridge.
Please note that I had snipped the ends that were weaved in with the color change row, but I recommend that these ends remain and are crocheted into this joining single crochet row, as well.
Like this:
...three single crochet in the same stitch in the corners.
The second row is double crochets in each single crochet with,

Happy Crocheting!!!
Thank you Astri, I have done just 2 rows so far and I joined these before I saw this but I put the sc on the right side and it looks good too, now I'm confused do I leave it or change it and do it this way, decisions decisions haha
ReplyDelete2 rows in one week - that's awesome, Linda! Oh and I like the idea of the single crochet on the right side. I haven't seen it but my "vote" is leave it. :-)
DeleteHé, hé, moi j'appellerai cela du patchwork au crochet, non ? La finition et bientôt plus longue que le travail de chaque pièce. Le rendu est très beau.
ReplyDeleteJe vois, une mini goutte en chocolat à chaque point de crochet ??? Cela nous fait combien de kilos de chocolat à la fin ?
Have fun :)
Oh yes, patchwork it is! Yes, indeed a chip per stitch could add on the kilos...unless that's the only thing one eats. ;-)
DeleteNow I need to look up "point" to see if it means stitch or corner.... Never mind, I just remembered "petit point" - must be stitch. I LOVE the idea of a chocolate chip per stitch! :)
ReplyDeleteOver the weekend I got the bright idea of cutting up some old t-shirts to make my Rockman projects out of t-yarn. It takes a LONG TIME to cut those darn things. So I have 3 shirts cut, and 3 giant balls of t-yarn, and barely a stitch done. I will be back.
Glad you enjoy the French as much as I do. :-)
DeleteLeave it to you to think up something unique and fabulous; love the t-shirt tunisian idea.
