Crochet Parfait: Globe Pillow Crochet Along Part II

Now I'm going to start on the points. I will be crocheting each point separately. I'm going to do an example of how to read the chart for the points for right handers and left handers.

You can find Part I of the Globe Pillow here.

I recommend reading all the instructions before you start.

First cut the green yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in.

Right Handers

I'm going to write out the pattern for the first point. If it helps you to write out the other points this is how it will look. Start with the point on the chart on the right hand side. I've numbered the stitches on the top part of the chart to reflect the stitches just for the point. (We are still working with the top chart (Northern Hemisphere)). The symbol --- --- in 2 squares side by side stands for sc2tog, or single crochet 2 stitches together.

Row 1: Since you just finished Row 12 of the beginning part of the chart, you can continue on with the Blue Yarn. You will be crocheting from right to left. Ch 1, sc in same stitch and in next 8 scs, sc2tog (the last 2 blue squares with this symbol --- ---.) ch 1, Turn. (10 scs)

for sc2tog insert hook in 1st st and pull up a loop then insert hook in next st and pull up a loop, 3 loops on hook

Then yarn over hook and pull through all three loops on the hook

Row 2: Sc in same stitch and in next 7 scs, Sc2tog, ch 1, Turn. (9 scs)

Row 3: Sc in same stitch and in next 6 scs, Sc2tog, ch 1, Turn. (8 scs)

Rows 4 to 6: Sc in same stitch and in next 7 scs, ch 1, Turn. (8 scs)

Row 7: Sc in same stitch and in next 5 scs, start next sc, add Green Yarn, do 2 more scs, ch 1, Turn. (8 scs)

Row 8: Start sc2tog, add Blue Yarn, do 2 scs, sc2tog, ch 1, Turn. (6 scs)

Row 9: Sc in same stitch and in next 2 scs, start next sc, add Green Yarn, start next sc, add Blue Yarn, start last sc, add Green Yarn, ch 1, Turn. (6 scs)

Rows 13 to 14: Sc in same sc and next 3 scs, ch 1, Turn. (4 scs)

Row 15: Sc2tog, sc in next 2 scs, ch 1, Turn. (3 scs)

Row 16: Sc2tog, sc in next sc, ch 1 Turn. (2 scs)

Row 17: Sc2tog, fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing seams later. Also cut a long tail of the green yarn for sewing later. To keep the yarn strands out your your way, roll them up and pin them to the point. (1sc)

When you start the next the next point insert the hook in the next stitch beside the point. All of the points from now have 9 stitches (8 scs and one sc2tog) on the bottom of the point.

Left Handers

I'm going to write out the pattern for the first point. If it helps you to write out the other points this is how it will look. Start with the point on the left hand side of the Top Chart (Northern Hemisphere). You will be crocheting left to right. The symbol --- --- in 2 squares side by side stands for sc2tog, or single crochet 2 stitches together.

Row 1: Since you just finished Row 12 of the beginning part of the chart, you can continue on with the Blue Yarn. You will be crocheting left to right. Ch 1, Sc2tog, sc in next 8 scs, ch 1, Turn. (9 scs)

Sc2tog, insert hook in 1st st, pull up a loop, insert hook in 2nd st, pull up a loop, 3 loops on the hook. Yarn over hook, pull through all three loops on hook.

Row 2: Sc in same st and in each sc across, ch 1, Turn. (9 scs)
