did you know?

---

Now I might be stating the obvious for some of you, but for those who don't know... here goes. When you see a pattern that is 120x120 you actually have more then 3 patterns? Here's how that works. 

Assuming your gauge is as indicated below (2 per inch for the MINI) then lets look at the sizes you could make. 

if you make it as a 

C2C DC - this would make a QUEEN SIZE graphghan

C2C HDC - this would make a THROW SIZE graphghan

C2C MINI - (3 per inch) this would make a RECEIVING graphghan. 

SC - this would make approximately a STROLLER SIZE graphghan

(all of the above sizes are estimates and will vary depending on your materials and tension of your work)

NOW HOW COOL IS THAT??? 

PLEASE NOTE: That if a pattern is written as a C2C pattern you couldn't use the written portion of the pattern for SC ... BUT you could use the graph itself and follow along from side to side. 

For those of you who think that you HAVE to buy a pattern that has a bottom left start, you don't have to. C2C is done on alternating sides. Just like doing a SC project. You are flipping the project every row, so it really doesn't matter how the pattern is written or what hand you use to crochet your project. I had some testers do the same project. Some were left handed and some right handed and the results were the same. It doesn't change the appearance of the graphghan at all. As long as you follow the pattern you will have a perfect finished project. 

Also, my patterns are written so that you ALWAYS start the next row by reading the pattern from left to right.... 

Why do I mention this? (SEE CLIP OF PATTERN BELOW) One of my testers  that  did the test project for me thought when she had completed row 43 with 15 white blocks that she needed to start row 44 with 10 white (from the right hand side) of the next row. All of my patterns are printed so that each line is read like a book. so you do row 43 and end with 15 white, flip your work and then start row 44 with 15 white. You can see that the amount is not always the same at the end of one row and beginning of the next. Don't worry, that is just different as it is an area of the design. So the rows end and beginnings don't always line up. It doesn't mean something is wrong with the pattern, It means the design area is changing.
