Hug for Janice Tutorial

August 5, 2016 By: Sharon Frazier

Some people have found the stitch pattern on a Hug for Janice a little confusing, so I decided to post a tutorial to help you out!

Yell if you have any questions!

Chain 73 or a multiple of 4 plus 5. I chained 17 (12 + 5) for my example. I’d suggest you try a swatch using 17 chains so yours looks just like mine.

Row 1

3 dc in 5th ch from hook. Sk 3 ch.

First Cluster

First Cluster

1 sc in next ch. *Ch 3, 3 dc in same ch as sc, sk 3 ch, 1 sc in next ch* Repeat to end. Turn.

First row

First row

Row 2

ch 4. 3 dc in 1st ch of ch 4. (This will be the chain right above the last sc in row 1. )

3 DC into 4th chain

3 DC into 4th chain

First cluster on the 2nd row

*Sk 3 dc; (1 sc, ch 3, 3 dc) in ch 3 space.* (Other than the first stitch in the row, you’re working in the chain-3 spaces across)

2nd row - 2nd cluster

2nd row – 2nd cluster

End of first row

3 clusters in the 2nd row

Repeat to end. (The swatch will have 3 clusters. The actual shawl will have 17)

SC into ch-4 space

Work a sc in ch-4 space. Turn.

Keep repeating row 2.

10-Minute Dish Scrubby – Free Crochet Pattern

I bought some of this Red Heart Scrubby Yarn and played around with patterns until I found one that I like. I think it works best when the scrubby is two layers thick so you can hold onto it better. This is a super easy pattern, and it only takes 10 minutes to make one! […]

Hug for Janice Shawl – Free Crochet Pattern

    I wanted to make something beautiful for my Sweetie’s Aunt Janice and thought a shawl would be perfect. She lives in the mountains of Virginia, and even when you’re inside this time of year, you can get chilled.  I also loved the idea of a prayer shawl or comfort shawl. It all begins […]
