Twelfth Week of the Abstract Queen Crochet-A-Long
It’s been a good week here! I published this fun scarf: Yarn Heartbeat Scarf. You can get it on Etsy or Ravelry (there are still be some free downloads left on Ravelry, use code “FollowMe” – good for the first 1500 uses, there’s been 1350 as of posting this).
I also drew up a new pattern: Bonnet Girl Blanket. You can get her for 30% off (Ravelry)(Etsy) – expires Nov 17, 2020, 11:9 pm CST. Does she look more like Hobby Holly or Sunbonnet Sue to you?
Plus, I have just updated the squares that started it all! Abstract Boxes, Cones, Levels, Lines, and Stripe.
Someday, all of my patterns will include interlocking AND mosaic instructions. (Woohoo, that’s fully done now!)
But, remember, until they are updated, you can still use the charts for both techniques. Check out my YouTube video if you want to learn how to read the charts for mosaic crochet:
One more thing! BLACK FRIDAY SALE begins Friday (Nov 20-22, 2020): get 25% off everything in my Etsy store and on Ravelry!

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.
