Week Seven’s Update
How can it be the middle of October already!? And how is the Firetruck the last pattern I published? I am slacking on new patterns! It has been crazy here at home, temporary home. It feels very temporary and it is weird. The kids are adjusting but it is hard on them. I am glad I had the foresight to set up a lot of this CAL beforehand. Maybe tonight, after this release and the weekly email, I can get back to one of my half-finished patterns.
I have also been doing more crocheting lately as I try to get some winter hats and scarves made up for my kiddos. I should just follow a pattern but instead I made up some random stuff. The colorful striped hat was supposed to be for my toddler but it is too big for my husband lol. I will write up the pattern for the other two hats though. Keep your eyes peeled!
Brackets & Tutorials
Brackets are used in the written pattern to indicate repeated sections. See my detailed explanation: https://ashleeslint.com/2020/08/29/brackets-in-crochet-patterns/

Key for Interlocking Crochet
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
MC = main color (usually dark)
AC = accent color (usually light or multicolored)
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
I have repeated the final row from last week here, pay attention to the row numbers.
