Welcome to week 30 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.

If you want to prep ahead, you can find out how much yarn you need for each week here as well as the layout and where each piece will fit.

Week 30 Of The FrankenScrap Crochet Along

Our next piece of the FrankenScrap crochet along is made with the Mayberry stitch. For this piece you will need a total of 63 meters of DK / Light Worsted yarn. I used Patons Cotton DK, a 100% mercerised cotton yarn that is really silky and just glides over your hook. This yarn gives excellent stitch definition and helps you keep cool in the summer months if it is used to make clothing.

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 Mayberry stitch is a pretty and highly textured stitch that creates a bobble like look, but with a different surface texture to it than regular puff stitches. The Mayberry stitch is a thick, hole free stitch that could be used for any winter accessory or clothing.

You will need a total of 63 meters of yarn for this piece if you are sticking to my gauge of 16sc in 10cm, 19 rows in 10cm

Abbreviations

• Ch = Chain
• Sk = Skip
• St = Stitch
• Sc = Single Crochet
• Hdc = Half Double Crochet

Start by making a foundation chain of 26 with a 4mm hook.

Row 1. In the 2nd ch from your hook make a sc (your turning chain does NOT count as a stitch). Then make a sc in each ch across – 25 st

Row 2. Turn and ch2 (the ch does not count as a st). Make a hdc in the first st. *sk the next st then make 2hdc in the next st* repeat between – 25 st

Row 3. Turn and ch1. Make a sc in each of the first 2 st. *Make a bobble in the next st (yo, insert your hook into the st and pull up a loop. repeat this twice until you have 5 loops on your hook. YO and pull through all loops on your hook)

Make a sc in the next st* repeat between *and* until you have 2 st left. Make a sc in each of the last 2 st of the row.

Rows 4 – 36. Repeat rows 2 and 3

Joining Your Pieces

Your finished piece should be 25 stitches wide and 36 rows high, which counts as 45 stitches high for joining purposes since you have sc and hdc rows. You can see how the pieces are joined together here. If you are following my gauge, then your piece will measure 15.5cm wide and 23.5cm 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 Mayberry piece should be joined to the left hand side of week 29’s C2C Moss stitch and the bottom left 9 stitches of week 26’s Little Waves piece.

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