99 Days of Crochet - Day 93 Lace Bands

This stitch is pretty similar to yesterday's stitch, and also began to roll up until I switched to my half triple stitch to make up the height.

I used Craft Smart Value Navy yarn with an I hook.

99 Days of Crochet - Day 92 Cable & Shell Duo

This is a pretty basic design. I don't like how it rolled up a bit. I still can't figure out if it's due to the type of yarn or needing triple crochet posts instead, or both.

I used Craft Smart Value Gray yarn with a K hook.

99 Days of Crochet - Day 91 Regal

I really like this stitch, simply because it used chains to make the double crochet stitches appear sideways which is pretty neat. Both the front and the back of the square turned out well, so this one would look great as a scarf.

I used Red Heart Super Saver Turqua with a K hook.

99 Days of Crochet - Day 90 Open Chevron

This square took very little time to work up, due to it being all double and half-double crochet. However, it took me a while to get the first chevrons row, but then I realized I was just reading the pattern wrong! The back posts were a bit hard to pull off and I'm not sure I've perfected the technique for those, but the square was fast and easy otherwise.

I used Red Heart Super Saver Petal Pink yarn with a K hook.

99 Days of Crochet - Day 89 Stand-Out Posts

This stitch is quite simple, but I really like it. This would be another great candidate for a scarf or afghan.

I used Red Heart Super Saver Medium Purple yarn with a K hook.

99 Days of Crochet - Day 88 Interruption

I really like the colors I chose for this pattern. It called for front post double crochets, but those made the whole square curl too much (I did them for the first three rows), and triple (double treble) crochet was too tall. Instead, I switched to a half triple stitch that was exactly the right length.

Instructions for half triple (double treble) stitch:
Yarn over twice. Insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull through two loops. Yarn over, pull through remaining three loops on hook.

I used Red Heart Super Saver Petal Pink, Turqua, and Medium Purple yarns with a K hook.

99 Days of Crochet - Day 87 Shell Spires

This stitch is fairly boring. It's not very unique except for the very tips of the "spires," for which I had no idea what the instructions were saying so I had to improvise a bit. They didn't turn out very good but the book's picture doesn't look any better so I'd say it was a success overall.

I used Red Heart Super Saver Carrot yarn with a K hook.
