Patchwork Puppy Project - Assembly and Finishing

When you get all of your Squares and Fillers made, you will need to attach them together and add the Patchwork decoration!

Be sure to refer to your Layout to know what goes where!

Here is the joining method I recommend as well as the decorative stitching and a simple border!

Mattress Stitch Join

You may prefer a different tried-and-true join method, but I found the Mattress Stitch Join to work out best for this project. I really hope you will give it a try!

Advantages:

It uses very little yarn, so you can keep going and going for a while with less ends! 

It is a nice invisible join that didn't clash with my plans of decorative stitching!

It's really simple and fast, too!

Patchwork Puppy Project - The Fillers

Here are the patterns for the various fillers that make it possible to combine different size squares in one layout. Below each pattern are the requirements for each layout.

Materials: 

#4 Medium weight yarn

J/10 6.00mm crochet hook

Tapestry Needle (to sew ends)

Measuring Tape

..

Stitches Used:

Ch - chain

Sc - single crochet

FO - finish off

Gauge: 2.5 st/inch , 3 row/inch

IMPORTANT:

If you have altered the number of rows of your squares to be square, then you will also need to alter the number of rows of some of these Fillers. It will be noted on affected patterns.

Patchwork Puppy Project - The Squares

A note on gauge:

It's not so important that your squares turn out to be exactly 8 x 8 or whatever. In theory, if you crochet looser or tighter than me then everything is off by the same proportion so it still all fits together anyway. For this particular type of layout, however, it is important that your squares are actually square, so you should always measure and add or take away rows to get a square Square. I have written this into the instructions to remind you - and you should repeat it for each square of whichever size that you make because even different colors of the same brand and type of yarn can vary in thickness.

QUICK CHECK: Fold your square diagonally to check. If it makes a perfect triangle, then it is as tall as it is wide and that is what makes it square.

Patchwork Puppy Project - The Layouts

Here are 3 different size Patchwork Layouts I have made or planned. The Child-size is the one I have recently completed. The Adult-size is the 2nd project I have begun. The Baby-size is another one I would like to make eventually. I shall continue to make blankets as long as I continue to make Patches (and will continue to make Patches as long as people are interested).  I will add those layout plans here as I make them. As time allows, I will also be adding a tutorial on how to create your own layout by using some simple and free online tools!
