Crochet Tiger Chart or Graph! Two Versions!

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

... William Blake

The Bengal tiger is a large, striped cat from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Burma. It lives in a variety of habitats, including rain forests and dense grasslands. The Bengal tiger can live to about 18 years in captivity, and probably a few years less in the wild. Bengal tigers are mostly solitary, but sometimes travel in groups of 3 or 4. These tigers are in danger of extinction due to over-hunting by poachers.
Male Bengal tigers are up to 10 ft long; females are up to 9 ft long. The tail is about 3 feet long. The fur is usually orange-brown with black stripes. The fur on the belly is white with black stripes. White Bengal tigers (with white fur and black stripes) are very rare in the wild. You usually see them in Las Vegas acts. Tigers have long, sharp teeth in powerful jaws.

I had two requests from my friends over at Crochetville for a graph of a tiger. I designed one to be very realistic and the other as more of a line drawing for an easier chart.

These charts are under my copyright. It is for you personal use only and may not be sold nor may items made from it be sold. You may not profit from my work. Do not copy my work and put it on your website or other internet page. Instead provide a link back to my blog.http://crochetliving.blogspot.com/2008/05/crochet-tiger-chart-or-graph-two.html

I divided the realistic tiger graph into two sections for ease in use and printing. The chart is 140 squares high x 120 squares wide. If you are using sc to make this, chain 121, sc in 2nd ch from the hook and in each remaining chain. You will have 120 sc in the first row. This chart is recommended for advanced color workers or if you want to challenge yourself. There are only 4 colors involved.

The next chart is 110 squares high by 100 squares wide. In sc, chain 101, sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each remaining chain. You will have 100 sc in the row.

These charts can also be found on the Original Patterns Links on Crochetville.

Crochet Lupus Afghan with Ribbon and Butterfly Chart or Graph

Lupus, the Latin word for wolf, is the name of a condition called systematic lupus erythmatosus or SLE. Why name a disease after a wolf, you ask? Well, in 1851, a doctor discovered red rashes on a woman's face that resembled wolf bites.
Lupus Related Items are HERE!

Today we know that Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems, including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart and lungs.

The face often has a rash in the tell-tale butterfly shaped mask.

Lupus is treatable symptomatically mainly with corticosteroids and immuno-suppressants, though there is currently no cure.

I made this for a dear friend over at Crochetville. She's a real sweetheart and suffers from this debilitating illness, but you know, she's won't let this wolf at the door get inside and stop her from crocheting!!!

As with all my patterns, I retain all my copyrights. You may use this pattern for personal use only. Neither the pattern, nor the items made from it may be sold. You may not profit from my work.

LUPUS AFGHAN CHART

This chart is 70 squares across by 90 squares high.
You can use sc and an H hook with your favorite worsted weight yarn, such as Red Heart Super Saver or Caron Pounder. Use a longer stitch, like the dc or extended double crochet for an afghan sized blanket.

Butterfly Prayer Shawl In Filet Crochet Chart!

I wanted to create a prayer shawl that symbolized change, joy, love, and metamorphosis. I chose the Butterfly.

The Butterfly is a powerful symbol in myth and religion. For early Christians, it represented the soul itself. Many pre-European populations called upon the butterfly for guidance in change, temperament, and happiness.

If you are going through changes or transitions in your life right now, study the butterfly to make these changes beneficial, joyful, and rewarding. Change is what life is made of and is necessary for spiritual growth, and accomplishment.

I hope you enjoy making this shawl. I usually work my filet charts with the extended double crochet stitch, but since this is worked vertically, and is a narrow chart, the normal dc stitch works quite well.

This is my copyrighted pattern. I reserve all rights. You may make this shawl for personal use but never for sale. The pattern may not be sold. You may not profit from my work.

Butterflies!

BUTTERFLY PRAYER SHAWL

Size : Length 118 inches Width: 28 inches

Yarn amount 21 oz worsted weight such as Red Heart Caron Pounder or Bernat

Crochet Hooks: J(6mm) and I(5.5mm)

Gauge 10 squares x 10 rows = 9 inches

Pattern Notes:

Open Block : dc, ch2, skip 2 sts, dc in next st. Each open block is made up of (dc, ch 2, dc).

Open Blocks that are next to each other share the center st. For example:

2 open blocks = dc, ch2, dc (shared), ch 2, dc.

Solid Block : 4 dc. Each solid block is made up of 4 dcs.
Blocks that are next to each other share the center stitch. For example:

2 Blocks = 7 dc

3 Blocks= 10 dc

To figure out, this is the simple math : number of blocks x 3 plus 1

Example: For 5 blocks 3x5=15 + 1= 16 dc

Read chart this way: Odd rows read right to left

Even rows read left to right

Begin each row with ch 5 to stand as a dc and ch 2

Need Thread? All Types and Sizes Here!

Instructions:

Row 1: With J hook, ch 96, switch to I hook, dc in the 9^th ch from the hook

(counts as the first open square) *ch 2, skip 2 chs, dc in next ch*, rep between the *’s across. Turn. You will have 30 open squares.

Row 2: Ch 5 ( counts as the first dc and ch 2 now and throughout), *dc in the next dc, ch 2*, rep between the *'s across. Turn ( 30 open squares)

Row 3: Ch 5, (dc in the next dc, ch 2) 5 times, dc in next dc, 2 dc in next ch 2 sp, dc in next dc, 2 dc in next ch 2 sp, dc in next sp----at this point you will have 6 open squares and 2 solid squares--- *ch 2 dc in next dc*, rep between the *'s across. Turn.

Row 5-130: Following chart, work remainder of chart.

At this point I will let you decide how to finish the shawl. The simplest way is just to work an edging of sc around the shawl by placing 2 sc in each open square, and a sc in each dc and 5 sc in each corner. Other simple edgings are shells, picots, or reverse sc.

There is mystery surrounding the origins of the Pug. They are an ancient breed and was probably first developed in the Far East. The Pug is the original Foo dog. Happy little guys, they love to eat!

I Love My Corgi Crochet Chart or Graph!

My lawyer has 2 Corgis in her office, Emmet and his son, Fitzpatrick. They like climbing up on her conference desk and are generally a very comical duo. The short little legs fascinate me!

The breed is hardy, highly intelligent, obedient, protective and devoted. Corgis are usually good with considerate children. They make fine guards, and excellent show and obedience dogs.

I Love My Husky Crochet Graph or Chart

For my next graph, I present to you the strikingly beautiful, Siberian Husky.
With it's striking masks or spectacles, and other facial markings, they tend to have a wolf-like appearance. The eyes are blue, brown or "bi-eyed" with one blue iris and the brown. The tail is shaped like a sickle. Though the breed is not related to the wolf any more closely than any other breed of dog, it is thought they maintained this appearance through isolated breeding in Siberia. They make good pets,though they are high energy and need plenty of exercise. They are not used as guard dogs because of their gentle spirit.

I got this request from one of my friends at Crochetville and was really happy to design it because the Husky is a dog I gravitate to when ever I see one in the park. The chart size is 110 squares x 110 squares. Use an H hook with your favorite worsted weight yarn. Single crochet it for a square piece or use double crochet or even better, extended double crochet stitches for an adghan sized piece.For all things Siberian Husky--->>>CLICK HERE!

I Love My Weimaraner Crochet Chart or Graph!

The subject of many of William Wegman's photos, the Weimaraner is a German hunting dog. Wegman has used his own pet Weimaraner in costume in all kinds of strange and different situations. These photos have gone on to be quite popular as prints and on greeting cards and have become a major factor in the publicizing of a formerly little known breed of dog.
There are lots of Weimaraner items here:Weimaraner Stuff!

My friends over at Crochetville asked for a Weimaraner to crochet and this is what came off my drawing board. The chart is 100 squares across x 90 squares high. Crochet it in worsted weight yarn with an H hook in the sc stitch. If you want an afghan sized piece, use the dc or extended double crochet. Hey! maybe you can do it in Tunisian stitch!

I Love My Yorkie Crochet Chart or Graph

The Yorkshire Terrier is a most popular breed! In my neighborhood, Yorkies live in the lap of luxury! My good friend, Lynnie, is on her third one. The each of the first two died of natural cause at ripe old ages. The second one, Rocco, had bad teeth and had to have them removed when he was 11 years old but he thrived on soft food and loved to go shopping in a big Louis Vuitton bag. One of my friends over at Crochetville requested a Yorkie graph and here it is! The size is 100 squares across x 90 squares high. Use your favorite yarn, like Red heart Super Saver or Caron Pounder and an H hook with sc, or you could do an afghan sized blanket using the dc or extended double crochet.

Crochet Labrador Retriever Chart or Graph!

Here are four color varieties of the Labrador Retriever. My dog Cheech was in love with a black lab. He was a big galoot and they fetched sticks and tennis balls for hours. I wanted to do a graph for him and I got carried away with the colors when one of my friends over at Crochetville told me she had a Chocolate Lab. I did some research and discovered that there are two additional colors, Yellow and the rare Silver.
