Tuck Stitch Afghan (Knitting Machine)

Tuck Stitch Afghan

Made with Patons Beehive Baby Sport. I highly recommend it - it works on the standard knitting machine, and even just for regular handwork, it is VERY soft.

Here is the pattern:

7 skeins Patons Beehive Baby Sport
Card No. 5 for the Knitking KH-260 Bulky Knitting Machine
Use your standard knitting machine. The bulky card will work on there perfectly. (If it is a Brother)
Tension 8-2
Cast on 100-0-100.
Knit 3 rows. Set carriage for pattern knitting. Knit 773 rows. Set carriage back to regular knitting. Knit 3 rows. Bind off. Using a size 5 crochet hook, with the wrong side facing you (not the pattern side), single crochet in every stitch all the way around. *When you get back to the beginning, slip stitch to first sc. Ch 2, double crochet in every stitch. Increase by 1-2 stitches in each corner, whatever makes it lay flat enough for you. Repeat from * until you have 3 rows of double crochet. Tie in ends.

Finished Project: Crocheted "Bubble" Blanket

I finally finished another Crocheted "Bubble" Blanket!! It took me a long time  little while, but only because I was trying to make about a hundred things at once. It is not difficult at all, and really works up pretty fast if you stick to it. Here's some pictures and the info of how I made it! See the tutorial here (my afghan page). You have to scroll waaaaayyyy down towards the bottom of the page, and you'll see it. It's also on Ravelry. Note that you will be making this bigger than the one in the pattern because this is a queen-size afghan, so see the info below for how much bigger to make it.

Info for the purple, beige and burgundy one:

32 skeins Vanna's Choice (I used Burgundy, Beige, and Purple in that order) Remember to finish with the same color that you begin with. Use hook size I.

There are 11 stripes of burgundy, 10 beige, and 10 purple. (The 32nd skein is for the edge).

 Ch 224. Follow the directions for the rest of the afghan, remembering that there will be 31 stripes.

 I used burgundy for the border. It is basically just a small shell stitch. I only did the border on two sides of the blanket (NOT the beginning and ending edges). 

For the edge (border): Dc 3, 1 sc in next stitch, *dc 3 in next stitch, 1 sc in next stitch. Repeat from * until you reach the end. Repeat on the other side of the blanket.

Finished dimensions: 74" wide by 67" long. 

Hook Size H
Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, 4 colors
Abbreviations: sk=skip ch=chain sc=single crochet dc=double crochet tc="triple" crochet BO=bind off
"Triple" Crochet: wrap yarn around hook. Insert hook into stitch. Wrap yarn around hook and pull through. Three loops on hook. Wrap yarn around hook and pull through one loop. Wrap around again and pull through another loop. Wrap around again and pull through last loop. You have just made a "triple" crochet stitch.
Row 1: Ch 200.
Row 2: Sc into second ch from hook. Then, in the same hole, dc, and then tc. *Sk three ch, and repeat, making a sc, dc, and tc.* Repeat from * to * until you have reached the end of the row. Ch 1, turn. Repeat row 2 five times, making 6 "bubble" rows. Change colors. Repeat until blanket reaches desired width.
Finishing: After making 6 rows of the last color, ch 1, turn, and 1 sc into each stitch all the way across for a more finished look. BO. Full sized blanket should have 21 consecutive colored rows, beginning and ending with the same color.
