Week 3 is going to be fun, as we complete our doily, block it and learn how to attach it to the ring and see our dreamcatcher finally taking shape.

We have a few additions to the notes for the pattern, hence we are listing it down again.

For all the instructions and video tutorial from the start till Row 19 check out our previous blog post HERE.

PATTERN:

NOTES :

  1. Ch3 is considered as 1Dc in all rows.
  2. Slst at the end of each round is to close the round. So slip stitch into the third chain of the first Ch3 of the respective rounds or slip stitch to the starting Bpdc stitch of each round.
  3. Ch1 before the Bpdc is not considered as a stitch.
  4. The number (a) written at the end of each round, indicates the number of stitches in the round.
  5. Number mentioned before a stitch is the number of stitches in the same stitch, and number mentioned after with the “x” is the number of repeats in the consecutive stitches. Eg : 3Dc x2 means, do 3 Double crochet into the same stitch and again 3 Double crochet into the next stitch as well.
  6. (Sl+ch1) y times is used to reach to the centre of chain space and is not considered as a stitch in the total no of stitches.
  7. Chains in between stitches is considered as a stitch in the total count.

INSTRUCTIONS:

R20 :   (slst into the Ch sp, Ch1) x2, 1Sc into the same sp, (Ch9, 1Sc into the next Ch sp) x23, Ch9, slst into the first Sc     (240)

R21 :   Ch1, 1Sc into the same sp, (10Dc into the Ch sp, 1Sc into the previous SC st) x23, 10Dc into the Ch sp, slst into the first Sc         (264)

R22 :   slst  x5 into the next 5 sts, Ch3, 1PS & 1Dc into the same st,1Dc, 1PS & 1Dc into the next st, {Ch5, sk  9 sts and (1Dc, 1PS & 1DC) x2 } x23, Ch5, slst into the first Sc    (264)

R23 :    slst x3 into the next 3 sts, Ch3, 1PS & 1Dc into the same st, (Ch4, 1Sc into the Ch sp, Ch4, sk 3 sts and 1Dc, 1PS, 1Dc into into the sp between the 2 Dc ) x23, Ch4, 1Sc into the Ch sp, Ch4, slst into the third Ch of the first Ch3   (288)

R24 :    slst x1 into the next st, Ch3 & 2Dc into the same st, (Ch4, 1Fpdc through the previous Sc, Ch4, 3Dc into previous PS) x23, Ch4, 1Fpdc through the previous Sc, Ch4, sl into the third Ch of the first Ch3            (288)

R25 :    slst, Ch1, 1Sc into the same st, (Ch12, 1Sc into the 2nd Dc of the 3Dc of previous round) x 23, Ch12, Slst into the first Sc, Ch1 and cut the yarn. Weave in the end  (312)

This completes the Doily for Dream Cal 2021. When you pin it down the way you do for blocking, it will measure up to 18”. If you are using a smaller hoop for the dream catcher, stop the Doily accordingly a few rounds before Round 25.

How to attach  the Doily to the Hoop

Cut 24 small pieces of the same yarn measuring around 6inches (Choose a length convenient for you to hold and tie) . Tie the 12Ch sp to the Hoop using these small yarn pieces. Make 3 to 4 knots to secure. Cut the excess and make the knotted portion behind the hoop and further secure with an adhesive. (adhesive is optional). This method and a totally different method is explained in detail in the part 03 video attached.

How to attach the Hangings

The length of the hangings can be your personal choice. The length used for the sample  is same as that of the diameter of the Hoop used, ie, 18 inches. The hangings are folded into two and then we make a knot through the hoop. Hence the length of each hanging to be approx 38 inches. (18 inches +18 inches + 2 inches extra for tying the knot) Fold the lace into two and place it beneath the hoop and take it over the hoop. Take the tail portion through the inside of the fold and tighten it by pulling the tail portion.

After hanging all the Laces, trim the bottom portion into a “V” shape. 

You can check out the video tutorial for the same below:

We have come to the end of the Dream Cal 2021 and now you all have a beautiful Dream Catcher to enhance the aesthetics of your favourite space.

Hope you all enjoyed making this with us. Please share your Photos and videos with Dream catcher and tag @indiayarn.circle and @naore_the_blot on Instagram and Facebook. Also use #dreamcal2021.
