Un tapete colorido

Hoy he vuelto a un blog que llevaba mucho tiempo sin visitar (Hilos y Lanas). Entre muchas y muy gratas sorpresas, me he encontrado éste tapete/salvamanteles, muy colorido:





Es bastante sencillito. Aquí está la explicación (en inglés):

rings

Tiny rings of colour, the beginnings of a mystery motif! I’ve had a lot of requests about this motif that featured on my old blog so I’ll be posting the ‘how to’ here for you. This motif comprises of 4 rounds, today we will work the first.

Chain 8, slip stitch into first chain to form a ring.

Round one:

Chain 1, work 12 double crochet into ring, join with a slip stitch into first double crochet.

Fasten off.

round two

Join a new colour into any double crochet, chain 1, work 1 double crochet  into the same stitch, * work 1 double crochet into the next stitch, chain 11, 1 double crochet into the same stitch, work 1 double crochet into the next stitch, chain 1, 1 double crochet into the next stitch, repeat from * around, omitting last 1 double crochet into the next stitch and join with a slip stitch into the first double crochet.

NOTE: Do not fasten off, you will be using the same colour to work Round three.

round three

* Work 18 double treble (wrap wool twice around hook) into the 11 chain loop, slip stitch into the 1-ch space of the previous round, repeat from * around, join with a slip stitch to end. Fasten off.

round four

Work a round of double crochet in a contrasting colour as such:

Work 9 double crochet up one side of the petal, chain 3, work 9 double crochet down the other side of the petal, work 1 double crochet into chain 1 space of round two, continue around, join with a slip stitch to end.

Fasten off.
