Joining Hortensia

First, we will join all the flower squares together with the Hortensia flowers. Start joining in the right bottom part of your work.  

You will see the chart for Joining Order which describes in which order the pieces are to be joined (Please see the photo at the end of this document ). There is also a circled number to follow the order 1-6.

Note that Hortensia pieces and flower squares are numbered in the chart. You will find information for this in the Joining section of this document.  

Tip: You can add numbered labels in your work by making labels using tape and a marker. Arrange all pieces on the floor and number your flower pieces as in the chart on page 7. This makes it easier to follow the numbers.

*Place Hortensia piece in hand with wrong side facing up. Work 2 sc into ch2-sp. Set flower square on top of Hortensia with the right side facing up. Hortensia and flower square are now on top of each other, wrong sides facing one another.

Flower Buds joining

Joining order is marked with red arrows and numbers in the joining chart.

Place your work right side facing up.  

Cut yarn after every flower square. You work 1 flower square side at a time. In the Joining Chart, the Flower Buds Joining are written in green sts. 

Joining: 

HINT: Crochet into lower flower square if not otherwise mentioned.

HINT: ALL stitches will be worked in ch1-sps. 

RIGHT SIDE JOINS: 

Starting with SS SPC in the first ch1-sp between 2sc after 5dc group corner, 

*SPC into ch1-sp of lower piece and finishing in the same “point” in upper piece ch1-sp, ch2, sk dc, sc in ch1-sp, ch 1, (sc in the next ch1-sp through both upper and lower pieces, ch 1) 2 times, sc in next ch1-sp, ch2* 6 times, SPC in next ch1-sp, ch 2, sc in next ch1-sp, ch 2, sl st in upper ch1-sp.**Work all joins on right side of blanket first, following order in the RED arrow diagram. 

CENTER JOINS: 

**The center joins are worked between the Hortensia Flower pieces. 

Sl st into 1st upper ch1-sp of 5dc group, ch 2, sc in lower ch1-sp, ch 2, repeat from * of RIGHT SIDE JOIN instruction as written above.

LEFT SIDE JOINS: 

Left side joins are worked from Hortensia piece to the last ch1-sp before the 5dc group as center instructions finishing with SPC as final stitch.

**Work all LEFT SIDE JOINS as directed for the RED ARROW Joining Diagram.

Note that in the chart the bigger X (sc) symbol means that you work the sc through both pieces and the square.  

Cut yarn and fasten off after each join section/seam. Please note that on the left side (outer edge) of your work the last st is SPC. 

Be careful that you always work from right to left as pointed out in joining order chart on page 7, points 1-3. 

When you are joining lines 4 and 5, rotate work so joining points are on the right side. This way joining seams will look uniform and nice.

Special Stitches

SPC = special popcorn stitch

5 dc into same stitch, remove hook from working loop.  Insert

hook into top of 1st dc of 5dc group from the top. Replace the loop from the top of the 5th dc onto hook and pull through. Insert hook into ch (upper flower piece), yarn over, pull through all stitches. Popcorn stitch is now joined with the upper flower square.


Fasten off and secure ends, block now or after next part of the blanket, wet and let dry.

 

How difficult was that? You needed to turn your work around a lot. I hope you are proud of yourself, it wasn’t an easy job. 

One more part and your Garden of Dreams blanket is ready.
