Abstract Queen CAL: Interlocking Part 2

September 8, 2020: Part 2 – Rows 25-48

It is our 2nd week! It has been so great to see so many projects on the facebook group! It looks like most people are doing the mosaic version, and most people seem to be changing colors with the pattern changes.

This week is my 33rd birthday sale! You can get 33% off my entire store on Ravelry and 30% off Etsy (they won’t let me do a custom amount).

You will see this same introduction on each part of the CAL. Scroll down to find the pattern instructions you’re looking for.

Go back to the main Abstract Queen landing page if you want to find the mosaic version or the list of dates of each release.

Subscribe to receive weekly updates by email!

The free parts on the blog do not include the chart, but you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry or Etsy, where you will receive the chart and instructions for both techniques in a nice printable PDF. I really appreciate the support!

Join my Ravelry group or Facebook group share your progress, no matter when you start! And create a project page on Ravelry linked to the Abstract Queen pattern to be entered to win one of the weekly prizes!

Interlocking Information

• US crochet terminology
• Chart is 359 x 321 = 115,239 stitches!
• Finished size 90” x 80” (Queen plus drape)
• 4.5 mm hook (US7)
• Worsted weight yarn (8250 yards)
  • Main color (black in chart) – 4100 yards plus 50 yards for optional SC border
  • Accent color – 4100 yards
• Gauge: 16 DC x 8 rows = 4”

Key for Interlocking Crochet

AC = Accent Color. Second color used.
MC = Main Color. First color used.
RS = right side: the side of your work that will show the finished design
WS = wrong side: the back of your project
Front = the side currently facing you
Back = the side not facing you
Ch = chain
Sp = space
Sk = skip a stitch
SC = single crochet
DC = double crochet
F = DC in front, then CH 1
B = DC behind, then CH 1
ES = DC into the last window space
EF = end stitch in front: using AC, DC into the last AC window, working in front of MC
EB = end stitch in back: using AC, DC into the last AC window, working behind MC
ACF = bring the AC yarn to the side facing you
ACB = put AC yarn to the side facing away from you

Notes

• If you chain tighter than me you may need to Ch 4 where I Ch 3
• Don’t confuse RS / WS with Front / Back
• Remember, each color is worked into itself only and there is a chain space between each DC

I have repeated the final row from last week here, pay attention to the row numbers.
