Hi Everybody,
We all have a pair of Jeans that sleeps in our wardrobe for ages and that no one in the family would never wear again.
Let’s see what we can do with that leftover.
Today, I cut the bottom of a leg, drew a circle and cut a round in the fabric. A picture worth a thousand words so here is a short and easy tutorial for you.
For those who forgot how to work blanket stitch, here is the “how to”:
I have picked up 120 stitch with my crochet 3.5mm.
Working the edge:
Row 1 (foundation row): ch1, sc in same stitch, pick up a multiple of 10 sts
Row 2 : ch3 (count as first dc) 1dc in next 3 sts, *ch2, sk1, sc in next st, ch2, sk1, (dc, ch3, dc in same stitch), ch2, sk1, sc in next, ch2, sk1, 1dc in next 4 sts* repeat till end of round, join with sl in 3rd ch of first ch3.
Row 3: ch3 (count as first dc), 1dc in next 3 sts, *ch5, 7dc in the ch3 between the two dc from the previous row, ch5, 1 dc in each 4 dc* repeat till end of round, join with sl in 3rd ch of first ch3.
Row 4: ch3 (count as first dc) 1dc in next 3 sts, *ch2, sc in the ch5, ch5, sc on the 4th dc from the group of 7, ch5, sc in the ch5, ch2, 1 dc in each 4 dc* repeat till end of round, join with sl in 3rd ch of first ch3.
Row 5: ch3 (count as first dc) 1dc in next 3 sts, *ch5, 1sc in the ch5 from the previous row, ch5, 1sc in the next ch5 from the previous row, ch5, 1 dc in each 4 dc* repeat till end of round, join with sl in 3rd ch of first ch3.
Row 6: work as row 2
Row 7: work as row 3
Blocking: soack the edge in a sirup (1 volume of sugar for 6 volumes of water – pour the sugar in the boiling water and let it cook slowly until the water reduced by 1/3) – and pin your work on a flat surface (the iron board is a good place). Let it dry.
