New Pattern Coming: Home of the Brave
Home of the Brave was inspired by the colors of the original yarn used. I love creating projects for the American patriotic holidays and when I saw this kit of minis, I knew I needed to create something special!
Using an easy-to-memorize, 8-row repeat of stitches, Home of the Brave’s main body has a beautiful lacework of undulating arrowheads with a pointed shell border. I used every last inch (and won at yarn chicken) of the kit in a gradient of red, white, and blue. I wanted something that could be a dramatic shawl or an extra-long scarf that I could wind multiple times to give different looks. But you can change the length and/or width just by adding or subtracting repeats as stated in the notes. It is very fast crochet, even at its original length, but the pattern will keep even the most advanced crocheter engaged.
This pattern is written in US terminology.
Recommended Yarn
Home of the Brave was designed in The Patriot Collection mini skeins by Chicken Lady Fiber Arts. I recommend using any fingering weight yarn that has good drape to it.
Techniques and Difficulty
Home of the Brave incorporates the following crochet techniques:
- Basic stitches (chain, double crochet)
Construction
Home of the Brave is a rectangular shawl that is worked on the short edge. This allows you to create the main field and the edging all at the same time.
Customization
You can adjust the length of Home of the Brave by adding or removing any quantity of the 8-row repeat.
