9. Using 5 safety pins (one for each point) attach end of strip to any dc at any point. Weave strip around using a safety pin at each point to secure strip. When strip is completely woven around, secure ends together and then make any necessary adjustments to strip in order for it to lay properly. Seam ends together, fasten off and weave in ends. With a long length of yarn, tack braid down at each point.

11. dc in each stitch and sc around. Sl st to join **At this point, I secured the two braids with the dc whenever they touched, to make the piece more secure**

    
    

12. ch3 and do another round of DC, join and fasten off

    
    

Blessed Be!

Thanks so much for sharing it! Have you thought about submitting this to "The Anticraft"? It's right up their alley, and it'd make a fab Christmas gift!

[Stalker Angie]

This is a definite must make for Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing it!

I'm really glad that everyone likes this pattern, thank you all for the compliments :o) gives me the confidence to keep trying. I'd love to see what everyone does with this!

[Riohnna]

OOOOOO,,,,I love this! I want it, LOL! Thank you very much!!!

[lilblueheron]

Very, very, very nice!

[Katy_Ravensong]

This is one I'll definitely be making. I couldn't find a good crochet pentacle so I came up with one on my own (somebody linked to it here already) but I like yours much better

[hookdonU]

Thanks for the pattern. I have a friend that this will be perfect for.

 

On a totally unrelated note, the flashing avatar can be problematic for those of us who have light-sensitive epilepsy or migraines brought on by flashing lights. Anyone know if there is a way to turn the flashing off on ads, etc?

[cher49]

oh that is so pretty.

[asabear]

Simply beautiful.

[tralee]

Awesome design! Thank you for sharing!

[Katy_Ravensong]

It's absolutely gorgeous! :cheerYou did an awesome job! :clapI'm going to write down the pattern (my printer is broken) and try it out. I'm so glad it's done with worsted. My hands don't handle thread too good anymore.

 

Hugs,

Usually tapping the Esc key will stop the animation. It doesn't stop it from starting, but it does keep it from going on. If you're really sensitive to flashing icons you could hit it when you load a thread so that any flashing pictures would be stopped before you got to them. As far as I know this should work on any computer/browser.

 

Back to the pattern though, I love it! Depending on how big it is I wonder how it would look with several of them joined together to form an afghan? Thanks so much for sharing!

[Tina M.]

Doggone Photobucket, LOL! Would you be willing to attach another pic, photobucket has dropped the original.

 

I'm looking for something along these lines and would love to see a picture to go along with instructions. (visuals help my limited skill level!) This sounds wonderful

[melindajbz]

Could someone who has made this post a pic. I am new to crocheting and need pics while im learning.

 

Thanks

[Sockmad]
