LEARNING TO WRITE PATTERN


I was posting up my new crochet WIP of a mandala a week ago on Instagram...




when few people start asking if I have the pattern,
usually I would answer I made it as I go and I couldn't write a pattern...
then it hit me?
Why would'nt I learn to do it?
At least I can learn to be consistent and can follow pattern correctly

so, here I am on saturday noon... trying to write pattern on my own term hehe
but coz I still dont know how to write pattern for bubble stitches like my green/blue mandala,
so I decide to write the pattern while I'm doing it
I'm using hook size J/6mm
with heavy worsted yarn ( berkshire bulky - www.yarn.com)

To Begin : ch 4 and join to form a ring.
ROW 1:
Ch 3,  then work 11 Tr into the ring. Join with slip stitch in the first Tr
Total 12 Tr  stitches
 **Change color………………………………



ROW 2:
Ch 2, then make 1 Dc in the same stitch ( between Tr stitches)
then make 2 Dc in every next in between Tr
Total 24 Dc stitches
**Change color………………………………..



ROW 3:
chain 2, then for the next stitch make 1 Dc all the way through the second row
( not into the top stitches) + 1 Ch

Make 1 Sc in the next stitches + 1 Dc all the way through the second row
+ 1 Ch  ( Repeat for  the next 10 pair of Dc)
Total 36 Dc stitches
**Change color………………………………..



 
ROW 4:
chain 2 ( as first Dc) then make 1 Dc in the same place ( in between stitches)
Continue with 2 Dc for the next 23 ‘in between’ + slip stitch in top of first dc
Total 48 stitches
**Change color………………………………..

ROW 5:
chain 3 + 2 Dc in the same stitch ( in between) so theres 3 dc in one ‘in between’
Then make 3 dc in the next 23 ‘in between’
Total 72 Stitches
**Change color………………………………..


ROW 6:
Sc 1 + Ch 2  then 1 Sc in the next ‘in between’ + Ch 2  then 1 Sc in the next ‘in between’
do that in the next 22 ‘in between’. Slip stitch
Total 72 Stitches
**Change color………………………………..



ROW 7:
Sc 1 in the ‘in between’ (space made from chain row 6)
Ch 2 ( little bit loose) then Sc 1 in the next space + Ch 2 and continue to Sc 1 in the space in between.
Do that until the next 22 ‘in between. Slip stitch
Total 72 Stitches
**Change color………………………………..


ROW 8:
Ch 3 + 2 Dc in the top of first stitch ( as the first triple Dc) + ch 1
and then make 3 Dc + ch 1 on to the next 22 space. Slip Stitch
**Change color………………………………..



ROW 9:
Ch 3 + 1 Dc in between the triple Dc Stitches + Ch 2 + 2 Dc
Missed 1 stitch & Slip stitch on the top next stitch.
2 Dc ‘in between’+ 2 Ch + 2 Dc + missed one top stitch + slip stitch on the top next stitch.
Repeat until the next 21 in ‘between’



 and here is the mandala..





hope the pattern is correct...
hope this will be useful. Enjoy!
