Fran, I just love that!

What a neat idea! I've never tried graphed pictures for crochet yet.

Does it require a special hook or do you just use the regular ones?

[Swayde]

That is totally awesome! What a unique idea =)

[fran]

Becky, I used a regular hook but, with 40 stitches on it, wrapped a rubber band around the end so they wouldn't slip off. All of my other graph work has been on afghans using afghan hooks. I don't have any afghan hooks that are an F which is the size I used for the potholder. Don't know if they make them that small. They do come in G.

[divaborn]

[Nuuriell]

Oooo! That's so cool! I'd love to get the pattern for it. ^_^

 

And making a few and donating them to the local firehouse would be really cool, too. ^_^

That is so neat! Goodness knows I could of used one of those. I am guilty of catching the kitchen on fire (yes LITERALLY) when I first got married. I was never taught to cook, and kind of umm... did something you are not supossed to do. Learned my lesson but good! Lol.

[falfal115]

thats looks very cool!

 

reminds me of myself too (i cant cook for my life)

which reminds me, i actually did burn one of my potholders once:heehee

I can't get my graph software to copy and paste it here online or in a PM.

 

Fran-

just wondering...what software are you using PC STITCH 7, or something else?

[fran]

The software I use for graphs is Stitch Craft Pro for Macintosh. There's a lot I haven't learned about it though.

[ladylinoleum]

Love it!! Really nice work.

[sewcrochet4fun]

That is wonderful!! An oven mitt in the same pattern would make a great matching set!!

[fran]

With F or G hook chain 41. Continue in afghan stitch, following graph:

Brown squares=red, red squares=orange, yellow squares-yellow

I stopped at the black line since the afghan stitch is taller than it is wide and I wanted a square potholder. If you use a different stitch, you may want to make the original graph design.

For better insulation (and to hide the back of the work) make a black square out of the same yarn and sc it to the back of the potholder.

AWESOME!!! Thank you, Thank you!:clap:clap

[butterfly_girl]

Let's see. If i wanted to just make a square or something, could I use a single stitch? Please let me know.......I don't know how to do the afghan stitch yet...I tried once, but I wans't sure if i was doing it right.

[fran]

Yes, you can use a sc stitch.

[sem464]

Thank you! Now if I can just figure out how to do a chart without going crazy. I tried doing it where you carry the other color thru the current stitches, but that seems to only work on 1 side or something like that. Help!!!
