anyone know of an afghan pattern using...

[dwiggicb]

the hhdc (yea, that's the one that everyone "cranked" over when making the fbb!! for a real strange reason, that stitch actually came easy for me and i am an inexperienced crocheter. i like the look of the stich and just thought it would make up nicely for an afghan or lapghan...just wondering?

I liked that stitch, too! Like you, I also found it very easy to figure out how to do. Of course, my FBB is still a UFO because I haven't yet found a pair of handles I really like, and what I really want to do is make a pair with a spool knitter, but so far I have only been able to find a small spool and I don't want skinny handles, but I digress.

 

If I were you, I would just find a pattern for an afghan that I like that's done in SC and just change it to the HHDC. I've never seen that stitch anywhere before the FBB pattern, so I would just improvise and change an existing pattern to that stitch.

hhdc? How does that work?

I like that stitch, too. A lot.

I don't know of any afghan that uses it though. I'm thinking you can find one you like especially a half double stitch, and just use the hhdc. Or chain the width you want, then do the hhdc to the length you'd like.

That stitch looks really cool. I think I'll have to make a FBB now just to try it out. Now where did I put my SnB:HH?

Thank you E-B-B for the links.

 

I think maybe Dora needs a new outfit now!

You're welcome.

I love that stitch and have been telling myself I'm going to make something besides Fat Bottom Bags, using it.
