I had to resubmit my quadruple trebles. I was given a how to sheet but no specific comments were made about my sample. I think it was because the wraps were too loose. This time I've tightened them up...probably too much so.
Here we have raised double rib and double crochet rib. I love the stretchiness of the raised rib.
A piece of double crochet using a wide range of hook sizes. It's interesting what a simple change of hook can do. This piece ranged from a 3mm to a 15mm.
Triangle of trebles working to a point.
Double crochet triangle starting at the point.
I feel that all of these pieces would look better if blocked but when I mentioned that on my last sumission Pauline has said she was happy that I hadn't as the texture of the stitches was enhanced by leaving them alone. So we shall see.
Probably my favourite so far, ripples or chevron. Love the simplicity of the trebles and the DK essentials by Rico is smooth, not at all splitty and gives great stitch definition. Watch out for the last 2 trebles that need to go into the turning chain. I thought I was adding too many stitches but it keeps the edges straight.
Sample 13. Open or lace using only trebles. 4mm hook. Rico essentials DK acrylic anti-pilling. I used the turning chain as a treble to give balance to each side.
I'm now working on a pattern of heavily textured trebles. I've chosed a Blackberry Stitch found in Crochet Basics by NIcki Trench. It's a pretty good book if you are beginner wanting to improve your skills.
It's made with the lovely Scheepjes Eliza. A 100% polyester DK yarn that feels like velvet or velour. It's lovely to work with and super soft. I'm using Turquioise Gem and it's fitting into my blues and purples palette perfectly.
