Welcome to week 11 of the FrankenScrap crochet along, the ugliest and scrappiest crochet pattern that you ever did see!

Over the next 49 weeks, we are going to be making 53 different crochet stitches, each in a different piece of this patchwork blanket. The FrankenScrap was designed as a scrap project, so dive into your yarn stash and clear out those odds and ends that you’ve just not been sure what to do with.

Week 11 Of The FrankenScrap Crochet Along

Our next piece of the FrankenScrap crochet along is made with the Undulating Cable stitch. For this piece you will need a total of 93 meters of DK / Light Worsted yarn. Unfortunately the yarn I used for this stitch had lost it’s label, but it felt like cotton. It’s a lovely shade of baby pink and was nice to work with – it’s a shame the label got lost as it would be a yarn that I would happily work with again.

I also used a 4 mm hook – I recommend using Clover Amour hooks. A cost effective hook that is comfortable in your hands thanks to their ergonomic design, so doesn’t make your hands tired when crocheting for long periods of time. I love my Clover hooks and although I own several different hook brands, I inevitably end up going back and using my trusty Clovers.

The Undulating Cable is a cable stitch that uses shells to create it’s wavy look along with the traditional front and back post stitches typical of Cable stitches. It is a very pretty cable stitch that doesn’t cross over as much as other Cable stitches. This makes it easier to get the hang of where all of your stitches are going in relation to each other.

The Undulating Cable stitch would be perfect for a wide variety of projects including clothing, wraps, scarves and so much more.

Abbreviations

• Ch = Chain
• Yo = Yarn over
• St = Stitch
• Sk = Skip
• Sp = Space
• Dc = Double crochet
• Fpdc = Front Post Double Crochet
• Bptr = Back Post Treble Crochet

Start by making a foundation chain of 44

Row 1. In the 4th ch from your hook make a dc (your turning chain counts as your 1st stitch). Make a dc in each ch across – 42 st

Row 2. Turn, ch1, make a dc turning ch in the 1st st. *Make a fpdc around the post of the next st, sk the next st then make a shell of 3 dc in the next st. Sk the next st, fpdc around the next st* repeat between *and* and dc in the last st of the row – 42 stitches

Row 3. Turn and ch1. Make a dc turning ch in the 1st st. Sk the next st and make a dc in the next st. 

Go back to the skipped st and make a bptr – your bptr should sit behind the dc, not in front.

*sk to the next fpdc and make a bptr around it. Go back and dc in the last of the dc of the shell (this st should sit in front of the bptr). Sk to the next fpdc, dc in next st. Go back to the skipped fpdc and make a bptr* 

Repeat between *and* until you have 4 stitches left

Sk to the next fpdc and make a bptr around it. Go back and dc in the last of the 3 dc st. Make a dc in the last st of the row – 35 stitches

Row 4. Turn and ch1. Make a dc turning ch in the 1st st then make a dc in the next st. *Make a fpdc around each of the bptr then make 3dc in the gap between the next 2 st (it is not a chain space, just a gap that forms due to how the stitches are made).*

Repeat between *and* then dc in the last st of the row – 42 stitches

Row 5. Turn and ch1. Make a dc turning ch in the 1st st. *Sk to the next fpdc and make a bptr. Go back and make a dc in the last of the 3 dc st. Sk the next fpdc and dc in the next st. Go back to the skipped fpdc and make a bptr* Repeat between *and* dc in the last st of the row.

Row 6. Turn and ch1. Make a dc turning ch in the 1st st then make a fpdc around the next bptr * Make 3dc in the sp between the next 2 st. Fpdc around each of the bptr.*

Repeat between *and* then dc in the last st of the row.

Rows 7-17. Repeat rows 3-6

Joining Your Pieces

Your finished piece should be 42 stitches wide and 17 rows high, which counts as 34 stitches high for joining purposes since you have dc rows. You can see how the pieces are joined together here. If you are following my gauge, then your piece will measure 26cm wide and 18cm high. Remember this is just a size indication and if your gauge is consistent throughout, then your pieces will fit together nicely even if your sizes do not match with mine.

The Undulating Cable piece should be joined beneath your week 10 Honeycomb piece and they should match up stitch for stitch. You will also join the right hand edge to the rest of the unattached stitches of your week 1 Rug stitch piece and all of the week 2 single crochet piece too.

The layout below shows how your pieces should be attached in relation to each other.

Once you have joined this weeks Undulating Cable stitch piece to the previous pieces, that is it for week 11 of the FrankenScrap crochet along, I’ll be back next Friday for week 12 and the next piece of your CAL at 8pm UK time.
