This post is intended for yesterday. So I would expect myself to have a day 3 post later this evening.
I have been figuring out how to make this project work. Since, projects does not really come with the same level of complexity, so making 1 beanie and 50 tiny mermaid tails is not really the same. They’re both not that hard, but making 50 of those little shit and making 1 beanie and both count as only 1 project each is misleading. So I figured, we make it a point system, per project.
I have to give point for each of the category.
I figured make it 10 point system. “10” is the highest and “1” is the lowest.
From the previous crochet post with the 2 beanies (Count as 2 project),
· Stitch complication - 1
· Volume of the project - 3
Total of 13 points divide by 5 (for each category) = 2.6 points
RECAP:
Project: 2
Points : 2.6
The mermaid tails, this I ordered as their souvenirs for a christening of a baby, I don’t know the name. Haha. Well, it doesn’t really matter because we’re here because of the project. She ordered this October 22, 2016, but since I have a day job, crochet projects is limited to my free time only. And with this another activity I signed up for, that would make my crochet time (and other hobbies, for that matter) to only, Monday to Saturday evening. And I signed up for Nov-Dec overtime. Can I do this? We’ll just see. She needed it November 5, which is yesterday.
As for the project itself, I used 4.0mm hook, and worsted weight yarn that would work on a 4.0mm hook, pattern is mine. The yarn types are limited to what are only available on my place, since Catarman doesn’t really sell that many yarn varieties, I have to make some of it work.
This was just an easy one, so it’s okay to share it. haha. If you’re actually gonna follow this and make more than one, I suggest make it in the same yarn type.
Hook: 4.0mm
Yarn: Worsted weight (3 or 4 ply)
Gauge: 1 inch=5 stitches
Start with a magic Circle
Round 1: 3ch and 7dc on the magic circle, fasten. Sl st to the 3rd ch.
Round 2: 3ch and 2 dc in each of the 7 dc, 1 dc on the 3rd ch. Sl st on the 3rd ch.
Round 3: 3ch. **2dc in the next dc, 1 dc in the next dc. Repeat ** 7 times sl st on the 3rd ch.
Round 4: 2ch. *2 hdc in the next dc, 1 hdc in the next 2 dc. Repeat * 7times sl st on the 3rd ch.
Round 5: 3ch. 1dc on each of the hdc, sl st on the 3rd ch.
Repeat round 5 until you reach your desired length.
You can finish of with an sc across, your call.
Then finally, weave ends.
ahhh. I don’t really know how to write this one, but imma give it a try.
With the same color of yarn, make an sc in the bottom part of the tail,
Followed by ***8 ch, sc in ch1 from the hook, 1 hdc, 3 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc in each of the ch. Fasten of with a sc in the bottom.
Repeat *** for the other tail.
or you can add sc around each tail, again, your call.
And finally, hide the excess yarn, and secure (tie a knot) inside the body (sounds morbid. hahaha)
Stitch complication- 2 because I need to start off again at the bottom, I have to cut yarn and start another stitches
Volume of the project- 7 because I made fifty of this little shits
Details- 1 not that hard. Haha (cocky)
Yarn color change- 1 (just one for each tail, so yeah)
Day 2, Average point: 3.4
Total Projects: 3
Total Points: 6
