12 days of Christmas Giveaways

On the third day of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway, my true love gave to me, a Holiday Penguin Afghan from Lion Brand.

Today’s Project: Holiday Penguin Afghan

Holiday-Penguin-Afghan2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Materials:

  • Hometown USA Yarn: New York White 4 balls Note: (A)
  • Hometown USA Yarn: Oakland Black 2 balls Note: (B)
  • Hometown USA Yarn: Cincinnati Red 1 ball Note: (C)
  • Hometown USA Yarn: Pittsburgh Yellow 1 ball Note: (D)
  • Fun Fur Yarn: White 1 ball Note: (E)
  • Lion Brand Crochet Hook – Size P-15 (10 mm)
  • Lion Brand Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)

 

Gauge:

6 dc + 4 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm).

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

1. Afghan is worked in individual pieces, then sewn together.
2. To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st. Proceed with new color. Fasten off old color.

    I love yarn, period. All the different textures, the way color is absorbed differently in blends of different fibers, you name it, I love it all. I have become fascinated with bamboo, the way it shines and drapes; but truly every fiber has it’s own special quality that makes it equally loveable!

    I will work with any yarn I can find, but I prefer the softest available, and of course, so far, of the LionBrand yarn, my favorite is the Homespun. I have made scarves and an afghan with the variegated yarns, which are so far the only ones I like. They are just so beautiful to work with, and you never know how the colors will unfold in your project until it is finished…

      What do you make with Thick & Quick? I need patterns because I have a bunch of this yarn and keep trying and tearing out sweaters, etc. because they are too heavy. I like the feel of the skein but not how bulky it knit and crochets with the patterns I have tried so far. Thanks.

    I can’t say that I have a favorite, really. I’ve been sampling lots of different yarns over the past few years. I seem to wander back from fun fur,boucle, bulky, and super bulky bakc to worsted most often. I think I really enjoy self striping yarn the most, though. It’s just fun to see the pattern form.

    Wow… it totally depends on the project. I have favorite yarns for certain projects. For instance, anything that goes in the kitchen is always cotton yarn. For apparel I prefer Caron Simply Soft. For amigurumi, graphghans or yarn-eater projects I’ll go with Red Heart or I Love This Yarn for the cost factor.
    I’ve had to behave myself this time of year and not buy anything for a while; hoping Santa sees I’ve been a good girl. 😉

    I’m accustomed to working with acrylic yarns since they’re a cheaper variety and they don’t shrink like other natural fibers. I’m picky about my yarns though. I like them to be soft from the get go. I can’t stand acrylic yarns that are scratchy and cling to dry skin. I like working with worsted weight or yarn that’s a little bulkier.

    I like making different afghans and animals with the different types of yarn available. It is an adventure to see how the different items turn out. The different colors used in each project is what makes each item so enjoyable.

    I love all types of yarn. My favorite is the softest, sturdiest yarn I can get ahold of. I love to crochet all kids of projects but I have not been able to make anything I can wear. I would love to crochet a sweater some day.

    I like acrylic because it is affordable and soft, but I love trying new styles too.

    I really like knitting with soft baby yarn and cotton yarn. They just are easiest for me to use.

    I love using Woolease Thick and Quick!! I love making warm and cozy items and I have found that this is the best yarn to use for those items. I love the colors too!
