LovelyCAL: part 8

let's keep on joining! ;)

we started and joined first 2 rows on part 6, look at that again if you would like to refresh your memory on how we did things (and how we will keep on doing things) ..


Now we will join further and I'll share some more tips for jayg:

  • 13-17 are mostly about joining tiny wave line, aka heart tops ;)
  • 18-19 are all about joining big wave line, aka heart bottoms :D

So few more steps to show & make it easier to understand how continuous join as you go works for the hearts:

12. is just a reminder of basic things..
We are always copying last row of the heart we are currently working around (or heart part, not the last row of the pattern but actual row of the heart), only difference - instead of dc we will be making bpdc (back post double crochet) and when joining to other heart instead of ch we will be making sl st or sc.

sl st when joining

sc when turning away

simple ch when working new side
13. keep on joining ... bpdc and sl st .. nothing new ...


14. on this corner (and all the other corners that look the same) sl st over sc ;)




15. on this corner (and all the other corners that look the same) sl st in sc ;)




16. on this corner (and all the other corners that look the same) bpdc around sc from heart you are currently going around AND use ch sp from other part to join (this might sound weird, but trust me - it is simple & there are loads of pictures)





17. on this corner (and all the other corners that look the same) sl st in bpdc (the middle one from 5).




18. First we go around heart bottoms, just as we would heart tops, with small exception - side knots! Those places where we joined heart rows make consecutive 5 bpdc ... (but we have made them before so nothing entirely new here 



19. when joining those consecutive 5 bpdc ... we actually join only the middle one ..
bpdc around knot from heart you are currently going around AND use loops from bpdc from other part to join (this definitely sounds weird, but there are pictures to ease the pain)









I think that is all about joining & next part will be about the edge ...
BUT If there is still something unclear - ASK - and I will answer as best as I can 😉

Happy crafting!
