Summer Direction Crochet-A-Long

Light Arrows

If this isn’t the section you’re working on, return to the list of sections for interlocking crochet or overlay mosaic crochet.

Interlocking & Mosaic

This free crochet-a-long (CAL) is written for both interlocking crochet and overlay mosaic crochet.

This page has the written pattern for LIGHT ARROWS of the Summer Direction blanket for both techniques.

Free or Paid

Each section of the Summer Direction CAL was published separately on my website for free. A new YouTube walk-thru for that section of the pattern was published at the same time.

If you’re looking for the full written pattern or the x-marked charts, they’re included in the paid PDF version of Summer Direction. I appreciate all the support!

Original Blog Entry

This section is the halfway point of our Summer Direction CAL (Crochet-A-Long). This pattern will be FREE forever here on the blog and each section has a FREE YouTube walk-thru as well! You can see a list of all my CALs here: www.AshleesLint.com/CALs

I have a birthday promotion on right now as well, you can get 40% off your entire cart by using codeYARNFUND” until September 14 (valid on Ravelry and Etsy). You may want to purchase the Summer Direction CAL separately so that you can get the better deal.

Crochet-A-Long Journey

This section is very similar to the Dark Arrows section we have already done.

The light and dark description comes from whether the arrow is filled in or not. I suppose solid or outline might have been a better descriptor since you can use any colors you want!

Fun fact: the mosaic version of this pattern seems to be about 75% more popular than the interlocking / locked filet mesh / LFM version based on participants crochet projects being shared and discussed.

If you need a reminder of the key and other important information please see the landing page for the technique you’re using!

Light Arrows: Overlay Mosaic Technique

Do you prefer the light or dark arrows? We had a section of dark arrows earlier and now we have light arrows.

Here’s the YouTube video that shows you a complete walk-thru of this section or scroll down for the written instructions.

Numbered Sections

I realize this CAL got a bit confusing with all the jumping between sections.

The Light Arrows section is only used for section 7.

Interlocking Crochet: Light Arrows

This section begins with us looking at the right side (RS).

This section doesn’t get used again so there is no opposite pattern where you begin with the wrong side (WS). If you are mixing and matching designs you’ll need to pay attention to that. If you’re following the pattern as written then you shouldn’t have any problems!

Here’s the video for “Light Arrows”, or keep scrolling down for the written portion.

Numbered Sections

I realize this CAL got a bit confusing with all the jumping between sections AND the right side/wrong side business.
