Updated: Jul 19, 2023






Brand: Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti Pilling: Critter Craze

Level: Hard

Stitch: Moss

Hook: F 3.75mm


Sequence

#Stitch/Color/Length: 1 Blue (3in), 1 Pink (3in), 1 Purple (3in), 1 Teal (3in), 1 Seafoam (3in), 1 Blue (3in), 1 Pink (3in), 1 Purple (3in), 1 Teal (3in), 1 Purple (3in), 1 Pink (3in), 1 Blue (3in), 1 Seafoam (3in), 1 Teal (3in), 1 Purple (3in), 1 Pink (3in), 1 Blue (3in), 1 Seafoam (3in), 1 Teal (3in)


Swatch Notes:

  • 19 stitches each row (This is one full sequence).

  • No offset, because the yarn couldn't allow it. Instead, played with tension on the ends of row to make it work.

  • 100% Acrylic

  • This is a great example of a variegated yarn that, though beautiful, does not work well with planned pooling. The color sequences are long, but more problematic, are the short color changes. This yarn only allows for 1 stitch per color. Though it is possible to make a pattern, it is very pixelated and hard to make out. Also, because each color is only one stitch, it was impossible to add an offset stitch. Instead, I had to play with the tension at the ends of rows or even "fudge" stitches to make it work.

  • I added 2 charts. One is with my sample sequence and the other with a larger sequence to get an idea of what a blanket could look like.
