Materials

2 x 100g balls ‘Moda Vera’ Marvel 8ply – black
9 x 100g balls ‘Moda Vera’ Marvel Printed 8ply – 9 different colours
6.50mm crochet hook
Scissors, yarn needle

Step 1

Make 30 squares in a range of colours.

With black 6.50mm hook
make 5ch, join with slip stitch in 1st chain to form ring,

1: beg cluster in ring, (1ch, cluster) 5 times, 1ch, join with sl st into 3rd ch of stch, [6 clusters] change to print, slst into 1ch sp,

Step 2

2: (beg cluster, 1ch, cluster) in same 1ch lp, *(1ch, cluster, 1ch, cluster) in next 1ch lp, repeat from * 4 times, 1ch, join with sl st into 3rd ch of stch, [12 clusters] change to black, slst into 1ch sp,

Step 3

3: (4ch, shell) in same 1ch lp, *1ch, shell in next 1ch lp, 1ch (shell, 1ch, shell) in next 1ch lp, repeat from * 4 times, 1ch, shell in last 1ch lp, 1ch, 2tr in 1st 1ch lp, join with sl st into 3rd ch of stch, [18 shell] change to print, slst into 1ch sp,

Step 4

4: 3ch, (1tr in each of next 3tr,1tr in 1ch sp), repeat to end of round, slst into 3rd ch of stch, [72 tr]

Step 5

5-7: 1dc around fp of stch, 1ch, * 1tr around fp of each st to end of round, slst into 1ch of stch, [72 tr]

Step 6

8: 1dc around fp of stch, 1ch, 1tr around fp of next 7tr, *2tr around fp of next tr, 1tr around fp of next 8 trs, repeat from * to end of round work 2tr around fp of last tr, [80 tr] change to black, slst into 1ch of stch,

Step 7

9: 1ch 1dc in same st, *1dc in next 3 tr, 1htr in next 3 tr, 1tr in next 3 tr, v-st in next st, 1tr in next 3 tr, 1htr in next 3 tr, 1dc in next 3 tr, 1dc in next, repeat from * 3 times finishing with a slst into 1st dc,

Step 8

10: 1ch 1htr in same st, 1htr next 11 sts, * 2htr 1ch 2htr in cnr lp, 1htr in next 23 sts, repeat from * twice, 2htr 1ch 2htr in cnr lp, 1htr in next 11 sts, skst into 1st htr, finish off and sew in all ends.

Step 9

To make up throw
Lay out your squares to decide which square goes where then join them together in a row horizontally by working a row of double crochet in black marvel over the seams of two squares held together with wrong sides together to create a nice raised seam, then adding another two squares, joining them in the same manner, until you have two rows of six squares joined together.

Step 10

Holding the bottom row at the beginning, with wrong sides together, join another row of squares in the same manner, until there are 3 rows of 6 squares, continue adding squares in rows of 6 until you have 5 rows of squares.
Turn the rug 90 degrees and join the seams vertical seams in the same manner, working a slst over the join in the horizontal joins. Continue until all the rows are finished.
(it is easier to join two rows horizontally, then add the third, then the forth, then the fifth, then the sixth, before turning the throw and working up each vertical seam, this leaves less ends to sew in and gets the throw together quicker)

Step 11

Holding the bottom row at the beginning, with wrong sides together, join another row of squares in the same manner, until there are 3 rows of 6 squares, continue adding squares in rows of 6 until you have 5 rows of squares.
Turn the rug 90 degrees and join the seams vertical seams in the same manner, working a slst over the join in the horizontal joins. Continue until all the rows are finished.
(it is easier to join two rows horizontally, then add the third, then the forth, then the fifth, then the sixth, before turning the throw and working up each vertical seam, this leaves less ends to sew in and gets the throw together quicker)

Step 12

sew in all ends.

Step 13

To work boarder, join black marvel into any corner with a slst and work 2dc into same st, *work a row of dc along the edge to the next corner, 3dc in the corner, repeat from * twice, work a row of dc along the edge until the final cnr, 1dc in to 1st st, slst into 1st dc,

Step 14

1dc shell a in same st as slst, * (sk 2 dc, 1dc shell a into next st) repeat from * along side finishing with a dc shell into the middle dc of the next corner, (you may have to fudge a couple of shells by skiping 3 sts instead of 2 if you don’t make the corner but it is important to start the next side in the corner.) Repeat for next 3 sides, finishing off the last cnr with a slst into 1st dc.

Step 15

Finish off and sew in all ends.

Abbreviation

sp= space lp = loop st = stitch ch = chain
beg = beginning slst = slipstitch tch= turning chain
dc=double crochet htr = half treble tr = treble
dtr = double treble
fl = front loop only bl = back loop only
fp = front post bp = back post rs = right side
ws = wrong side dec=decrease inc = increase

Abbreviation

beg cluster = [ 3ch, yoh, pick up lp in next st, yoh, pull through 2 lps, yoh, pick up lp in same st, pull through 2 lps, yoh, pull through all 3 loops to close off.]
cluster = [yoh, pick up lp in next st, yoh, pull through 2 lps, (yoh, pick up lp in same st, pull through 2 lps) twice, yoh, pull through all 4 loops to close off.]
shell = 3tr in same st
shell a = 3ch 3tr in same st
v-st = 2dtr 1ch 2dtr in same st

Magic Circle:
(Wrap yarn twice around your finger & work a slst into the lp, slip the lp off your finger and work the first round into the ring (over the two strands), pull the yarn tail to tighten the loop to create an invisible centre.
