PDFThis is the photo tutorial for the No Beginning Chain Crazy Block Afghan. The photos were made with a smooth yarn to show the stitch detail. This is a four block wide swatch.
This is the first foundation block with the six chain loop and three chain of the next block.
This is a row of beginning blocks showing how they should lay.
This shows how the first row of blocks should be rotated, but not turned, to start the second row of blocks. The first chain three and single crochet of the second row has been completed.
Now the three double crochet of the first block of the second row has been completed and the single crochet of the second block.
Completed row two.
What a fantastic idea! I’m startig one in about 5 minutes. Have left over yarn and think this would look great “scrappy”. Thanks so much for sharing.
Mama Stitchery-
Thank you for the you tube tutorial video. It was definitely helpful. This is going to be the stitch I use for the very first blanket I make for my hubby. I want to ask, is it ok if I do either a single crochet or half double crochet all the way around just to add stability. ( I mean it is going to a man lol). Thank you for sharing this, I enjoy learning new crochet ideas and stitches. I look forward to you posting many more projects.
You could definitely single or half double around.
Just love those no beginning chain patterns~~~They are so AWESOME~~~Thanks for sharing~~~
Thank you so much for this pattern! My Grandmother used to do this stitch, she called it “Crazy Stitch”. I have been trying to remember how to do it for 25 years!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
