Retro Vibe

Mijo Crochet

Jag har lääänge tänk att jag en dag måste virka ett överkast och äntligen har jag kommit igång! Hurra! Bestämde mig för att göra ett klassiskt överkast men ville ha något lite extra eller annorlunda. Tillslut blev det denna glada och färggranna retro vibe-ruta som fick äran 🙂 Jag har valt att virka i dubbelt acrylgarn för att få en lite tjockare och fastare struktur samtidigt som det inte blir för tungt.

For long I have been thinking about making a bedspread and now I’m finally on my way! Yay! Decided to make a classic crocheted bedspread but wanted an extra touch to it. Eventually I decided to use the happy colourfull retro vibe square 🙂 I make this bedspread with double acrylic yarn to make it a little bit more thick and sturdy but not to heavy at the same time. 

Nål / Hook: 5.5 mm

Två trådar av / two strands of Scheepjes Colour Crafter

Scheepjes Colour Crafter är ett 100% premium acrylgarn som kommer i 100 g-nystan om 300 m. Det är mycket mjuk och varmt. Mitt garn kommer ifrån Favoritgarner.

Färger / Colours:

1002, 1422 , 2012 , 1062, 2014, 1116, 2016, 2006, 1083, 1123, 1828, 1080, 1067, 1263, 1114 and 1711.

Jag vet inte vilken garnåtgång det blir ännu eftersom jag inte är klar ännu / I don’t know the amount of yarn I need yet since I’m not done.

Mönster / Pattern:

  8. Hello from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. I am 71 years old this week & I have decided to make all your patterns. You are so generous, talented & creative & take so much time to write them out so precisely & simple to print. I really love the color changes, for example, on the tips of flowers, which make them POP! Thank you so much for the opportunity 2 learn new stitches, shapes & color changes. I appreciate knowing you from far away!

  9. Does anyone have a diagram or maybe a stitch count for each round? I’m making a mistake- and I keep rereading and re-doing with no luck. I think my error is in round 3, but I can’t find it. This is so lovely, I’m hopeful to master it…

  12. A great big hello! Thank you so very much for sharing your talent and patterns with others on the internet. It is very generous of you to take your time to carefully write out each pattern and supply us with all the information necessary to make each of your patterns. I am very aware you do not have to do this and cannot express in words how very kind you are to do so. Thank you so much. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Your work and color combinations are stunning! I will keep checking back for your post about how much yarn you ended up using when you complete this Retro Vibe bedspread you are making. Cheers to you!

  13. This is great! I am making this blanket with the colors of each square based on a specific Grateful Dead poster/postcard from the 1960s! It is for someone who has a collection of posters AND a Yorkie!

      1. Will post a photo when I am finished, but that may be a while! I am trying to discipline myself to work more slowly so that I don’t aggravate my tendonitis!

      2. I have finally finished my “Fillmore Auditorium Poster” version of your afghan pattern! It isn’t very large but it is very colorful, and will serve its purpose! I am happy to send you a couple of photos of it if you let me know how to do that.

        Thanks again for the pattern! I had a lot of fun using it.

  14. Hi! I have been crocheting for around 20 years now. I’ve decided to use this pattern and make my mom a queen size blanket for the first time!
    Do you have a suggestion for the border?

  18. Love ALL your patterns. Got issues opening this one, it downloads and opens 1x, the next time I try to open it denies access staying it is DRM protected. I suspect it is the photos?

    1. Hi and thank you!
      Actually, I never finished this blanket (shame on me!), so im sorry to say that i cant help you with yarn amounts. I suggest you buy the colors you want and then make squares, wheight them and then calculate how much more yarn you will need to get the number of squares you want.
      Kind regards,
      Johanna

    2. Hi! I did finish this blanket, once at the size it was written for, and then I added more squares to make it cover the top of a queen-sized mattress. I used worsted-weight wool. Let me know if you are interested, and I can share the amount of wool.

  24. Molto bello questo lavoro e stupendo l’accoppiamento dei colori! Peccato non ci sia la traduzione in…italiano. Ho difficoltà a capire i passaggi. Come potrei fare? Sto utilizzando i SOLI abbinamenti per creare una giacca ad una mia nipotina (14 anni) sempre fondo nero, MA con un disegno Granny classico. Mi sarebbe piaciuta molto di più QUESTA mattonella ma…
