It’s here!之后,天哪,3或4个月的设计,钩编,和拖延的,我SOOO兴奋,最终分享我的成品Zoodiacs C2C钩针阿富汗与大家一起。我可以告诉你我是多么的爱上了这个咧?而且这不只是因为它花了这么多时间;这是因为它是巨大的,SOOO舒适!在谁得到我的全家人打架这件事情下打盹,它是完美的超大沙发上的毯子。
这毯子是用12大c2c(角落corner) crochet squares that depict the animals in the Chinese Zodiac. My son is a Tiger and my parents joked that my second child should be a Dragon, because they are the two most powerful signs in the zodiac, but my daughter was born one year later, as a Snake, so we now joke that she’s the little Dragon, since a Snake is sort of a little dragon. Right? No? Ok, so it’s a family thing. If you were to recite the zodiac in Chinese, I think it actually starts with the Mouse, but I started my blanket with the Tiger because of my son. I chose the background colors for each of the squares based on that particular order, but your blanket is up to you! You can work the squares in any order you like, and follow the actual Zodiac order, or not.
Each c2c crochet animal square is大约18英寸,在每一侧23个C2C瓦片。我选择从狮牌万纳的选择固体和循环使用的颜色和主题Impeccables固体 - 我发现他们的颜色是充满活力,并能相互匹配得非常好。他们的纱线粗细也匹配得相当好,所以我可以互换以相同的正方形的颜色,而无需调整我的规格和/或张力。我完成了每平方两轮单钩针针均匀地工作在广场周围,然后加入了方格一起使用的床垫针。由于阿富汗已经相当繁忙,我只是在做白平原接壤。

Pattern Notes
- 我发现它更容易将工作与2个缕缕你的背景颜色为每平方。你总是只有1绞纱开始,但一旦动物纹开始,你需要的背景纱筒管另一个这样你就可以工作,对动物两侧的背景色。如果你只有1个绞纱,你必须任何措施/估计你会多少纱线需要的任何一方,或者保留新加入到纱筒管你,你通过广场进步。我的纱线购买建议假定您使用的背景颜色的纱线两个独立的一缕缕为每平方米。一些背景颜色使用了两次,你需要两个缕缕的全码数反正,所以它更容易同时启动这两个缕缕。其他背景颜色只使用一次,你可能不会需要两个缕缕的全码数,但我还是建议双方缕缕如果你的预算允许的情况下。
- Because so much yarn is needed for this blanket, in so many colors, I tried to purchase them from Michaels during sales or with coupons. I was not as picky about getting the same lot color. I personally used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice and Loops and Threads Impeccables, but RedHeart Yarns and Caron also have beautiful colors.
- At the end of each square, I used the background color yarn to work a round of single crochet stitches evenly around the square. For each c2c tile, I worked 3 stitches – 2 in the body of the tile, and 1 in the juncture between tiles – and then ch 2 in each of the corners. This gives a consistent 69 stitches + 2 ch stitches along each side. You can see this in action in my sampler video这里。下面的说明假设第一轮单钩针针(使用背景色)已经完成。
- 我使用加入了我的正方形mattress stitch。Since this is a sewing stitch, and not a crochet stitch, you’ll need to cut a piece of yarn that is at least double the length which you’ll be joining. For example, I joined the first two rows together, horizontally (Tiger to Snake, Bunny to Horse, Dragon to Sheep), so I needed a length of yarn that was twice (or triple) the length of 3 squares. It made sewing the squares really slow going, but I did that to avoid having to join yarn and having bumps in my blanket. I ended up having to join yarn for the vertical joins though, because the length was getting ridiculous. I also worked horizontal and vertical joins simultaneously to help with joining the corners.

The Zoodiacs squares make for great projects whether you make just one, or complete the whole afghan. A single square worked in chunky yarn can be a lovely baby blanket depicting the year the baby is born. Or turn a single square into a pillow. Alternatively, combine all the Zodiac signs for your family into a keepsake blanket. I’ve also seen a reader work the Zoodiacs graphs in cross-stitch! There’s so many ways you can use these designs, and these signs apply to everyone. Be sure to share your creations with me onFacebook的要么Instagram!
嗨!如果我想采取一个瓷砖,并使其成为童毯大小,你会怎么建议我做什么呢?谢谢!
读到这里我认为这是非常翔实。
我感谢您抽出推杆的时间和精力本文在一起。
我再一次发现自己亲自花时间significwnt量botfh阅读并留下评论。
Butt so what, it was still worthwhile!
I thought it was a free pattern. Bumma.
Loved this pattern. Originally I bypassed this pattern as it was to large for what I wanted it for (baby blanket for my nephew) I kept coming back to it. Anyway i managed to find a way to adjust it to make it smaller. I deleted the outside row all the way around and used a 4.25mm hook and only 1 round of sc border on each. This made each square 13 inches, this was still slightly larger than I had in mind but the afghan to cute to pass up. I just have the final border to complete and I am so excited to gift this!!!
Thank you so much. I don’t have much luck blocking c2c so I started this as a continuous hdc and really pleased with the results.
