Catherine Wheel

Crochet pattern
Catherine Wheel Section 1 (Rows 67-72)
The Catherine wheel is a fun stitch to learn. As the name suggests, the pattern creates big wheels that you crochet over the course of two rows. The stitch might look complex at first glance, but as long as you tackle it step by step, you can do it!
Since we’re only going to work one row of Catherine wheels the next row will look like Row 68, but will not be exactly the same. If you would crochet 7 chains as the ‘top’ row of the Catherine wheel, you can imagine that all your next rows would have quite the gap. Instead, we’ll be securing the chain to the Catherine wheels. This way, you can continue with the rest of your blanket without big gaps. Basically, we’re mirroring Row 67.
We’ll need to make sure we’re going back to 241 hdc in the next row. This means counting! Luckily, we can look to Row 67 for that. Each Catherine wheel took up 6 stitches (1sc, 2 skipped stitches, a Catherine wheel and then 2 skipped stitches again) for every repeat. So we’ll just need to make sure we’re working 6 stitches per Catherine wheel to get back to 240 plus the final stitch that we’ve used to fasten the last wheel.
Stripes section 2 (Rows 73-86)
Just like the previous stripes section, this will be a nice part for TV crochet. Just 241 hdc’s, every row!
Continue with part 6 of the Rainbow Sampler pattern.
