TUTORIAL: Indivisible Clue 4

Tutorial: Indivisible Clue 4
This tutorial works through Clue 4 of the Indivisible pattern for the 2024 MCAL from Expression Fiber Arts.
Rows 1-4, and 9-11 are worked on a shortened swatch. Timestamps are provided to allow you to jump to the beginning of each row to work repeated rows, and also to jump to each row’s pattern repeat in case you want to work across the entire row while watching/hearing explicit instructions for each stitch.
Rows 29 and 30 are worked across a full size swatch, so you can work along. Instructions for working the Alternate Row 1 are at the very end, but I’ve also included a timestamp for that so those wishing to begin with it can skip there to start.

Thank you. That was very helpful.

For rows 29 and 30, should we bump up the hook size or keep it the same?

[@writermomo4]

I stayed at the same size, since the single crochets are interchanged with larger stitches. At the same size, the fabric easily stretched to the correct width without feeling restricted like it had been on the single crochet sections.

Hi Jen, I appreciate all of your tutorials. Thank you.

On row 9, you change hooks, what size do you change to? There is nothing in the instructions that show a size change.

Hi Tracey. I actually address this specifically in the Row 9 Introduction (which begins at 22:00 in the video). Yes, you are correct that there is no mention of changing hook size in the pattern. My suggestion for doing so was just a personal recommendation, and was offered specifically because I found that working the single crochet rows with the same hook size prevented those sections from blocking as wide as the other parts of the block. I just went up one hook size - I was using a G hook (US6 / 4mm) and went up to a US7 / 4.5mm - for the single crochet rows.
I hope that helps!

@@writermomo4 Thank you so much! My apologies for missing the introduction, I guess that's what I get for skipping ahead. :-) Your videos are so helpful on this project, thank you again.
