Good morning all you amazing people!
Day 28, and the last row of decorative stitches before we begin with the border. Now that's exciting!
I really like clusters. If you've been following for a while, you'll have noticed that I use them quite a lot in hats. I like how they are little even defined shapes, and there is so much you can do with them!
You will need:
4.5mm hook
DK/8ply/light worsted
weight yarn in minimum of 6 colours.
Yarn Note: I did not
start with complete balls. All 6 of my balls were originally 100g
balls with a little of each used. They are a mix of Stylecraft
Special DK, King Cole Pricewise and Moda Vera Marvel 8ply for my 6
colours. You could choose 6 colours and follow my colour changes, or
you could make every line a different colour (excellent way to use
scraps) or you could even use some self striping yarn, or a solid
colour.
Colour Changes: I
change my colours by completing the last yarn over and pull through
of the last stitch in the row with the new colour for the next row,
so I don't have to join with slip stitches. Of course, this means
you'll have to redo that one last stitch each day as you won't know
what colour is next, but the finished piece will be much neater this
way.
My Colours are
A - Beige
B - Blue
C - Dark Blue
D - Tan
E - Mint/Turquoise
F - Dark Grey
Day 28
With B
DC Cluster - Keeping the last loop of each dc on the hook, dc 3 times in the same stitch, yarn over, pull through all 4 loops.
42: Ch2, turn, dc cluster in the fist stitch, *ch1, skip the next stitch, dc cluster in the next stitch* repeat across. End off.
