Want this question answered?
you don't cast on to crochet. you do a base chain. to answer this question, you need to take into account the size thread you are using and the size hook. why don't you do crochet a diagonal stitch afghan. when it gets to be 60" wide, you decrease. there is a book delma's diagonal stitch which you can get, or search for a free diagonal stitch pattern. good luck
It looks like a knitting needle with a crochet hook end instead of a point. It's used for what's called tunisian, afghan or interweave crochet.
The only way I know to crochet letters onto an already completed afghan would be to use surface stitching. Another method, which is not crochet but which would give a very nice look, would be to cross-stitch them on. This can be done on single crochet or tunisian crochet (afghan stitch). Another way to get letters on an afghan would be to crochet strands of chains or single crochet strips and shape them into the letters needed, then attach them to the ghan. That would give a 3-D effect.
You will need a basic knowledge of the Afghan Stitch to make this combination of stitches.
You might well be talking about an afghan stitch, which is all done with one long needle with a hook at one end and some kind of block or barrier at the other. You can Google afghan stitch to get various how-tos, videos, etc.
CAL stands for crochet a long
Your answer depends on the gauge that you knit with the yarn and needles that you want to use and the size of the afghan that you want to make.Can you do the math?
Yes. This is easier with crochet than with knitting, where this process is more complicated.
check www.lionbrand.com they have tons of patterns and I believe you can search by yarn type.
You would need to know what yarn you are using - sport, worsted, bulky - and what pattern. Different stitches will use different amounts of yarn. Single crochet is more dense than double crochet and would use more yarn to make the same size finished product. Afghan stitch is also dense with same result. With worsted yarn I would estimate 2500-3000 yards. That is a really rough estimate, however, without more information. Your chosen pattern should specify the yarn to be used and how much. If you want to substitute yarn, you can compare other yarns with the same weight, number of ounces and yards.
One beat.
That's a difficult question to answer without more information - like the pattern you are hoping to make. Since you note a 7 count peak I think you may be asking about a ripple afghan. If that is the case and you want 7 stitches on either side of your hill and valley, the foundation chain would be a multiple of 17 + 16. I would suggest possibly 152 for a twin size. Crochet Cabana has a pattern called Donovan's Ripple Afghan which may suit your purposes. If you are not talking about a ripple afghan as noted, then this would not be the appropriate number of chains.
