Hello Friends! I will be posting some more later, but for now wanted to ask for help. My husband’s aunt is working on a corner to corner, rectangular afghan, in a dc shell stitch pattern. She is 1/2 way through and can’t remember how to do the decrease rows. I have never made one, but I told her I’d look online and see if I could find her some help. I am not coming up with much, other than square ones, online so thought I’d reach out to my blogging friends to see if any of you might be able to help. I will appreciate your help, and I know she will as she only has another month to get the afghan finished. Thanks!!!
Here are some patterns for corner to corners also on You Tube THE CROCHET CROWD by Mikey Sellick has some really good tutorials. He is really awesome on teaching crochet. Here is the site for the patterns. Hope this helps.

Hi Rita. Sorry, I couldn't find a rectangle corner-to-corner. I did find a scarf pattern if that would be of any help.

Rita - you might try this: http://www.crochetspot.com/how-to-crochet-corner-to-corner-diagonal-box-stitch/. I don't know if it is the same pattern, but I've made it (many times) and it should show her how to decrease, even if the pattern isnt' quite the same.
ReplyDeleteI found a link on Ravelry...http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/how-to-do-corner-start-diagonal-crochet

Thank you all for your help! I am just going to send her a variety of these things, and hope that at least one of them will help her. :)
ReplyDeleteI did some more digging, and found a link where she tells how to do the rectangle. If anybody is interested, here ya go: http://anastaciaknitsfreepatterns.wordpress.com/2008/11/
