Knitting in Kingwood (KIK)

This month we’ll be knitting or crocheting pumpkins! Start searching your stash for those pumpkin-colored yarns and join us!

Saturday Cypress Knitters (SoCK)

Back by popular demand! Join us as we explore making a basket from stash yarn. We will be crocheting multiple strands and your choice of weight of yarns using a N or P hook.

The pattern is available on Ravelry: Big Beautiful Basket

If you want a preview, there is also a YouTube video.

To complete a basket, you will need 300 yards of three worsted-weight yarns, one P or N crochet hook, and at least two removable stitch markers.

Ziggurat Chevron Mosaic Crochet Blanket

We will watch a Marley Bird video on mosaic crochet. She demonstrates the beautiful, crocheted pattern used in the Yarnspirations “Ziggurat Chevron Crochet Blanket.” There will be free copies of this pattern. If you’d like to follow along, bring two contrasting colors of worsted-weight yarn and a Size H crochet hook.

Homework:

With Color A, chain 36

1st row: Using Color A, 1 sc in 2nd chain from hook and each ch to end of chain; 35 sts

Row 2: ch 1, 1 sc in each sc to end of row, changing to Color B in last stitch

We should have some extra crochet hooks if you don’t own any. (If the crocheters among us, if you can, bring a couple of extra crochet hooks.)

Granny Squares are Still HOT!

Have you ever wondered what a granny square is? Join Debbie at the June SoCK meeting as we explore the basic construction of a granny square.

HOMEWORK: 
Bring four colors of worsted-weight yarn and a 5mm crochet hook.
“Basic Granny Square” by Kristin Campbell-Harris is a free “starter” pattern on Ravelry.

If you are new to crochet, a great (and inexpensive) book is “Crochet Granny Squares” by Publications International Ltd., available on Amazon.
