Looking for Tigger Afghan that isn't cross stitch

[smurfette65]

I'm looking for a tigger afghan pattern that isn't cross stitch over crochet and not a kit.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You can use a cross stitch graph and do it in sc instead. Leasure Arts has a couple of pattern books with graphs. One is knit and the other is cross stitched on top of a sc background, but you could just do it in all sc instead and follow the graph.

Here are several knitting charts for Tigger, they could be adapted to crochet without too much difficulty.

Would I do that the same way as converting cross stitch? Just use all SC? I've been crocheting all of my life, but I've never converted patterns or created my own.

Thanks!

You can also use the graph maker at http://www.microrevolt.org/knitPro.htm It's free and if you can find a good Tigger picture with not a lot of color variation, that would be the best.

This is the info I use for converting knit to crochet, I don't remember where I found this, I think over on Priscilla's site.



1. Use a crochet hook to make a gauged sample. Change the size of hook until you reach the needed gauge to complete the project.

2. Change the knit gauge to the crochet gauge by exchanging the stitches listed in the following steps.

3. Make a copy of your pattern and pencil in the crochet stitches to use above the knitting ones.

4. Chain stitch the number of cast-on stitches or the number needed to reach the needed gauge.

5. Convert one row of knit and one row of purl (or two rows of knit) to one row of single crochet.

6. Substitute one row of half-double crochet for three rows of knitting (or for k1, p1, k1).

7. Crochet one row of double crochet to replace one row of knit, one row of purl, one row of knit, and one row of purl.

8. Change six rows of stockinette to one row of treble crochet.

9. Periodically check the gauge to make sure you are staying in the correct measurement.

Good luck, it really is easy if you take your time.

There are several Tigger graph patterns here: http://****************************/categoryNavigationDocument.hg?categoryId=70

I'm doing my first graph pattern with the sports afghan CAL using one of these graphs. To do it in single crochet, you just do one single crochet for each square on the graph, alternating working the rows from right to left and then left to right. In other words, make your foundation chain the number of squares on the graph + one for the turning chain. Mine was 150 squares, so I did a foundation chain of 151. Then you work the first row as normal, following the graph from right to left, chain one at the end of the row, turn your work, then follow the graph from left to right for the next row.

It sounded complicated to me at first, but now that I'm actually doing it, it's not hard at all! :clap
