Half Square Triangle (Scrappy Strings Style) Tutorial

Half Square Triangle

Like many of you,  I often have overflowing bins of scraps.   There is something so satisfying about saving and eventually using up even the smallest bits of fabric, knowing that you utilized that well loved print or solid to the nearest inch or so.   I enjoy trying out differnt ways  to use these precious scraps with a variety of  sewing and quilting projects.

Square Navajo Lap Blanket

Square Navajo Lap Blanket

The traditional crocheted Navajo afghan is crocheted across with each row having the beginning and ending yarn as fringe. To avoid having fringe on a lap blanket, this is designed to be crocheted in the round so that the affect of having the crochet stitches all facing the same side are preserved without having to start and stop for each row.

This pattern is written using four colors, but the blanket can be done in any number of colors and numbers of rows per color.
