Baby Afghan

甥仔添丁

到毛冷店買了10個冷球

給可愛baby鉤張被

2隻主色包括甥太至愛的綠色

My nephew got a new baby boy

La Mon planned to crochet a baby afghan for him

2 main colours include his wife’s favorite colour

毛冷有cashmere和絲質成份

手感非常溫暖柔滑

The yarn made of 

cashmere and silk

It is very soft and warm. 

It is Sublime from England

鉤了Granny Square這個花

不過鉤了2次才滿意

因為轉換拿針手勢

起初的鬆緊未穩定

鉤至手帕大小時

開始穩定了

但實在接受不了

中間凹凸不平的樣子

所以拆了再鉤

I changed the holding hock posture

the tension was not even

crotchet again while the tension was steady

上面是第二次鉤的

下面是第一次鉤的

upper, 2^nd time crotchet with steady tension

lower, 1^st time crotchet with un-steady tension 

 

那一個比較好呢?

 which was better?

鉤完了

如何把它鉤得更漂亮呢

這個也是一個問題

幸好在鉤織論壇上

得到高手提點

鉤一行crab stitches

作品顯得更完美

the afghan was finished but it didn’t have a finish look

I got an advise form the crochet forum

crocheted a row of crab stitches to have a good finish look

上圖, 最初設計

下圖, 得高人指點

upper, original design

lower, final design

終於完成了

作品尺寸約78cm x 78cm
