Batman graph

The Batman franchise has been around for decades, starting in the DC comics and ending up on the big screen, with series, animation, and video games liberally sprinkled throughout.  The logo has drastically changed throughout the years starting out as a man in a cape and morphing into a bat...getting slimmer/clunkier back and forth as time goes on.  This version is my personal favorite.

To crochet this full size afghan, I would use black for he background even though the graph shows white (it's just so hard on the eyes to stare at a black graph!), using 2 dc per graph square with an H hook.  If you want to make a twin size, cut off the top and bottom 15 rows. For a throw, add 15 to top and bottom, add 40 rows to right and left sides, and sc with a J hook.

If  you'd like me to make one for you, I can do that too.  Please email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com for payment details.

To get this graph yourself, email me with "Batman" in the subject line.  Any questions should be in the body of your email.

If you make one, I'd love to see a finished photo!  Email it to me, or tag #KendrasCrochetedCreations on social media.

Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon

I know this one is very plain, but it is halfway through October (breast cancer awareness month) and I haven't posted one yet! 

The pink ribbon is one of the most recognized symbols of silent support. We all know someone who has been touched by cancer (of some kind or another), either someone who has been diagnosed, or someone who is a mutual friend of someone who has been. 

Breast cancer awareness ribbons outwardly show our moral support for those who have been diagnosed with, are receiving treatment for, and are survivors of breast cancer. We wear these ribbons for our mothers, friends and lovers, and sisters.

Ladies, remember to do your self-exams and get your medical checkups!  There are people who love you and YOU should be one of them!!!

If you would like this free graph (graph only, no written instructions), please email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Pink Ribbon" in the subject line.  If you use an H hook and 2 dc per graph square this should come out about twin mattress sized.  Adding a few rows of border will make it cover a twin bed nicely with a bit of overhang. If you'd like a smaller throw, use a J hook and 1 sc per graph square, but add 15 rows to the top and bottom, and add 5 rows to each side.

If you'd like me to make one for you I can do that too!  Email me for pricing.

If you have any questions or comments, you can either email me or leave a comment at the bottom of the page.

Minnie Mouse free graph

Thanks for the photo, Nancy!

Minnie Mouse was created (or "born" as her many fans say) in 1928. She is the pretty, peppy, perky girlfriend of Mickey Mouse, best friend of Daisy Duck, and Hollywood walk of fame star owner as of January this year! Congratulations Minnie!

Minnie Mouse has been immortalized in many forms over the years. This is the first time I've ever made her into a graph, though!  Will it be your first time crocheting her into one?  If you do, use an H hook and 2 dc per graph square to get about a 4.5 x 5 ft throw from this graph. For twin size, add 5 rows to all 4 sides.  Choose background color of your choice and send me a finished photo when you're done.  I'd love to see it!

Detroit Tigers

Old English D

Tigers are my favorite animal.  Michigan is my home state.  So of course I favor the Detroit Tigers over all other teams! The official logo is the Old English D you see here, though that has changed over time.  When the team first formed, they were cutting the logos out by hand and sewing them on to uniforms and caps, but the caps and uniforms were made by 2 different companies so they didn't match! Now, we still see different versions on caps and on banners and on uniforms...you get the idea.

Tigers are majestic, graceful, and beautiful. Another great thing about the mascot, PAWS the Tiger, is his affinity for social events!  He loves coming to office parties, community events, birthday parties (he can bring gifts from the Tigers!), weddings (he even has a tuxedo he'll wear-how cool is that?), special deliveries (I would dearly love to have a bouquet of flowers delivered to me by PAWS!), and school events.  What a great guy!

Tiger face

In the partial logo of the tiger's face, he looks strong, ferocious, and a little bit scary!  I haven't worked this one up myself but I might someday!  I do love him.  I spent a lot of time getting his face symmetrical, pixel by pixel.  If you want the pdf of either graph, please let me know at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with the photo caption of the graph you want in the subject line.  Any questions should be in the body of the email.  If you make an afghan from these graphs, please send me a photo to be featured here or on my Facebook. page!  Also, I really love seeing the work you do send to me.

Both graphs should be worked up using an H hook and 2 dc per graph square. The tiger face is larger than my usual graphs, and more squared off, so I would work a couple rows before deciding if the size will be right for you.  If you need help changing the size of your finished product, let me know and I'll do my best to help.  If you want a 4 x 5 throw of the Old English D, add 15 rows to top and bottom and 5 rows to each side and work up using 1 sc per graph square with a J hook.

Mermaid graph for sale

It wasn't till Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" that these mythical sea creatures became known as helpful and benevolent. The legends and stories before them  depicted them as evil, luring sailors into dangerous waters like Greek sirens, or dragging them underwater to their deaths. Personally, I prefer the Disney version.

I know I say all the patterns I post are free, but this isn't a pattern post!  I mean, it is, but the pattern itself isn't posted.  This is a gridless image of the graph I made.  I think she's adorable!  The pdf with gridlines and line numbers is $4 (no written pattern) and I can adjust the size to make any sized afghan you prefer.  Email me for info regarding payment details if you'd like to make this little cutie for yourself. Or, I'd love to make one for you, email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com for pricing.

NASCAR graph

What is it about stock car racing that gets the fans so hyped up?  Is it the speed?  The drama?  The crashes? Or is just a great way to kill a Sunday afternoon and a beer?  People who are not fans say the same thing: "mind-numbingly repetitive." People who aren't fans of basketball, baseball, and football say the same things about those sports. 

True fans of any sport say the excitement, the adrenaline, and watching their favorite member do something spectacular is why they keep coming back for more.

Use an H sized crochet hook and 2 dc per graph square on this NASCAR fan graph to get a twin-mattress-top sized afghan throw to curl up under during the races with your favorite beverage and snacks. I'd suggest working it from the short side and using a different skein for each color change to keep the colors from showing through.  If you are feeling a bit intimidated by the checks, leave them  out!  This afghan would look great with a solid top and bottom in either black or white.

San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers is one of the few teams who haven't drastically changed their logo in decades.  It started out in 1946 as this guy here:

Can you imagine trying to crochet this guy?  Whoo!  I like the one they chose and varied very slightly from 1968. Much clearer and easier to make.  A simple Scarlett oval with intertwined white SF and black and gold outline.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks are an NFL team with Blitz the Seahawk as part of the team's logo. He enjoys rousing up crowds and daredevil stunts.  His sidekick, Boom, doesn't feature in this graph.

I created this graph for a fan who decided at the last minute she wanted something different so I never got the chance to make it.  It's for a smaller throw that my usual mattress-top sized afghans but having not made it, I can't be specific.  Use an H hook and 2 dc per graph square to get a decent size throw.  Try chaining the length and see if it's big enough for your taste, then add stitches to each end as necessary to make it the size you prefer.  If you would like the pdf of this graph, please email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Seattle Seahawks" in the subject line.

Lisa sent me these finished photos.  she said that she used
2 super sized skeins of royal blue
1 regular skein of royal blue
1 skein white
1 skein gray
1 skein green

Thanks for the finished photos, Lisa, they look great!
