Eveline's Motif

Thank you for your lovely comments on the reworking of my very first crochet motif.

As requested, I have written out the pattern.  In honour of my Gran, who instructed me in the original making of this motif, I have named the pattern after her.

The PDF version of this pattern is available, HERE.

The measurements of the motif are as follows:

Double knitting version – 13 cm (5 inches)

Sport weight version – 9.5 cm (4 inches)

4 ply version – 8 cm ( 3 inches)

#10 crochet cotton version – 5.5 cm (2 inches)

You will need oddments in the yarn weight of your choice, a crochet hook appropriate for the yarn weight – and that’s all. 

Please note that in all of my patterns I use UK crochet terms.

The American equivalents are as follows:

tr = USA dc
dc = USA sc
Other abbreviations:

ch = chain

sl st = slip stitch

sp = space

sts = stitches

Using the yarn of your choice and an appropriate sized hook, make ch 6 and join into a ring with a sl st.

Round 1: 3 ch (counts as 1^st tr), 15 tr into ring.  Join with a sl st into 1^st tr. (16 sts)

Round 2: 5 ch (counts as 1^st tr and 2 ch), 1 tr, 2 ch into each st to end.  Join with a sl st into 1^st tr. (16 spaces)

Round 3: sl st into next sp, 3 ch (counts as 1^st tr), 2 tr in same sp, 1 ch, (3 tr into next sp, 1 ch) to end.  Join with a sl st into 1^st tr.

Round 4: sl st into next 2 tr and into 1 ch sp, 1 ch, 1 dc in same sp, 5 ch, (miss 3 tr, 1 dc in next ch sp, 5 ch) to end. Join with a sl st into 1^st dc.

Round 5: (5 dc into next 5 ch loop, sl st into dc) to end. 

Fasten off and neaten all loose ends. 

You can of course experiments with different colour combinations. 

I hope you enjoy this pattern.
