Thanks everyone. I found the stipe pattern in a Scrap Afghan book I have.

every 3 rows I do a long single crochet 3 rows below, they alternate to look like bricks. ( That's what I think they look like anyway :D ). that pattern is a bit more involved than that but I don't want to violate copyright by describing too much. I think the book is called Ultimate book of Scrap Afghans and it's on page 52. It just seemed to fall into the strip pattern catagory but be a bit different.

I've also seen a tutorial for that stitch at Crochet me -- they referred to it as "spike stitch" (http://www.crochetme.com/Aug_Sept_2005/feat_spike_stitch.html). I've used it before when making a scarf for a guy friend, and it looked really nice.

 

It's so neat to see how everyone's afghans are coming along! I keep meaning to start mine, too, but it seems like I keep finding other things I have to finish first....

Can I still join? I bought some white yarn today to go in between my scraps. I wanted to make sure I got some other WIPs out of the way first before I committed and now I am ready to get going. Hope it is okay to still join.

And also, everyone's stripeys are looking great.:manyheart

:clap I am working on a stripey with single and double crochet using varigated baby yarn and stripes of yellow, pink, green and white. It is turning out fairly well. I expect it to be crib size.

 

Also have one going in guy colors, but can only work on that when it is daylight. At night when I'm working a dark color I can't see the work very well. :think

 

I've looked at several of the pictures and think your stripeys are really looking good. I've got to learn how to post my pics. (you know the old saying can't teach an old dog new tricks--well I am determined to prove it wrong!)

 

Happy crocheting this weekend!
