Ocean Twist | 6" Afghan Square | Free Crochet Pattern

31/12/2015

Comments

 
Are you looking for another beautiful afghan square to add to your home decor project? Why not try this gorgeous textured Ocean Twist Square!
Ocean Twist Afghan Square | FREE crochet pattern via @beckastreasures | Add this beautifully textured square to your favourite home decor projects!
This is my very first ever afghan square design, and I am so excited to share it with you!

As many of you know, my main focus is on toys, doll clothes and accessories, but for fun, I thought I would get out of my comfort zone and try something new.

It all started in the summer, when I was asked if I would like to join The Mystery Lapghan CAL. The idea seemed extremely daunting for me, since I personally don't think I am very good at doing traditional crochet projects such as squares, doilies and such. However with a little encouragement, I decided to go for it.

Unfortunately, my computer decided to go on vacation before I could complete the last details of this pattern and fix up the pictures. That meant, I wasn't able to share it as part of the CAL.

I decided it would be fitting to share it with you as we end 2015. I hope you will enjoy this pattern and I look forward to seeing how you use it in your projects!

  • yarn needle

Gauge/Sizing:

Pattern equals 6” (15 cm) Square.

Adjust your hook, yarn or tension to get the right size, or to get a different size altogether.


8 sts x 8 sc rows equals a square 2” (5 cm).

Ocean Twist Square Instructions:

Make 1

This square is worked in non-continuous rnds, where you will join to the first st of the rnd before continuing to the next rnd in the same direction. Do not turn at the end of rnds. *ODD rows = RS.

ch 4, sl st join to first ch to form a circle...

   rnd 1:  [(ch 3, dc, tr 2, dc, ch 3, sl st) into circle x 4 (4 petals).

Working the Back Post Variation Stitch:

The back post variation stitch (
BPV) is similar to a regular back post stitch in that it is worked behind the stitches, however, rather than working around the full post of the stitch below, it is only worked around the top of the stitch by inserting the hook into one stitch and coming out of the next stitch.

​In this pattern, this process acts as a decrease and creates a center point for the petal’s next rnd (rnd 2). You will use this stitch in the next rnd and again in rnd 5.

BPV = Insert hook into the st sp of the first tr of the petal section from back to front, then insert into the st sp of next tr from front to back, you should have 2 sts on your hook – work a sc here (1 st).

As you work the next rnd, keep the ch-sps to the back of the petals...

rnd 2:  [ch 3, BPV into tr sps from last rnd, ch 3, sl st into circle between petals] x 4, sl st join to first st of rnd (8 ch sps). *This rnd will be invisible from the RS and completely once the next rnd is finished.

*If changing colours here, f/o and sc join next colour to any sc from last rnd (counts as the first sc in rnd 3)...

*If sticking with the same colour, (sl st, ch 1, sl st) up the ch-3-sp to bring you level with the next rnd...
