G’day my name is Jenny King and I am an
Australian crochet addict!
Let me come visit and sit down with you and
show you just how to do Bavarian crochet. Yes, at your place. In this Annies
online class you will feel like I am there. I will do what the Mother and
daughter from Bavaria had endeavoured to do in Australia and that is how to
create the beauty of Bavarian crochet without need for translation. You will love it and you will become
addicted.
I walk you through the process slowly and
repeat myself so much that you may nearly get sick of hearing my Aussie accent
telling you to pull through 2 and pull through 2. I am grinning ear to ear as I
say this to you.
We start with a headband working in a simple
strip to demystify the stitch and its 2 row repeat. Although this class is taught in USA crochet
terms I couldn’t help but tell you how to do it in the terms used by the rest
of the English speaking world so no-one gets left out. So if you live in the
United Kingdom, South Africa, New Zealand or Australia you will be able work
along with me as well.
I
originally wanted to call it this the Mystery history stitch as the
origins of this amazing stitch eluded me for over 15 years of thorough
searching. I even took samples to USA to consult with the experts. Funnily
enough all searches led me back to my own state of Queensland, Australia. You can hear all the history as I explain the
stitches.
I
have simplified this original Mother and Daughter design and instead of only working it in a
square I have experimented to make all
manner of shapes . Let me show you how to do this stitch in a long strip as a scarf,
as a decorative edging on slippers, and finally extend your skills to create a
top-down seamless baby jacket, and nearly everything else in between.
I should warn you though that Bavarian crochet
is just delightful and you may become addicted. It can be worked in any color
combination of your choice or you can experiment with the wonderful textured stitch
if it is done in just one color as in the wrap vest in charcoal. That is just Yummy.
See
you soon at your place. I can’t wait.
