Introduction

Welcome back to The Crochet Crowd and yarnspirations.com! In this tutorial, we'll be working on rounds eight to ten of a crocheted motif. We'll go through each round step by step, so let's get started!

Round 8: Joining and Starting Round 8

To begin round eight, create a slip knot and join it to the top of the middle treble stitch. This will be the stitch between the chain three and the first treble stitch. Join it by pulling through and making a single crochet. Then, chain three and single crochet into the same treble stitch.

Round 8: Creating the Loops

In round eight, we'll be creating loops that will later join the motifs together. Chain one, skip one stitch, and single crochet into the next. Repeat this pattern all the way around until you reach the middle section.

Round 8: Progressing Around

Continue to chain one, skip one stitch, and single crochet into the next stitch until you reach the middle treble stitch. Single crochet into the middle stitch, chain three, and single crochet back into the same stitch. Then, continue the pattern of chaining one, skipping one stitch, and single crocheting into the next stitch until you reach the starting point.

Round 8: Ending Round 8

To end round eight, chain one and join it to the first single crochet. Fasten off your yarn. You've now completed round eight of the motif.

Round 9: Joining and Starting Round 9

To start round nine, join your yarn to the chain three space. Chain up one and single crochet into the same space. Chain two, single crochet back into the same space. This creates a grouping of stitches. Repeat this pattern of chaining one, moving to the next space, and placing two single crochets until you reach the halfway point.

Round 9: Grouping Stitches

At the halfway point, place a single crochet, chain two, and another single crochet. Continue the pattern of chaining one, placing two single crochets into each space until you reach the starting point.

Round 9: Progressing Around

Continue to chain one, place two single crochets into each space, and move to the next space until you reach the starting point.

Round 9: Ending Round 9

To end round nine, chain up one and join it to the first single crochet. You've now completed round nine of the motif.

Round 10: Follow the Pattern

For round ten, follow the pattern provided based on the position of the motif in the overall afghan. Each motif will vary in the joining process, but the first motif will follow the pattern exactly as outlined on the instructions.

Now that you've completed rounds eight and nine, you're ready to move on and join your motifs as specified in the pattern. Let's continue crocheting and bring your project to its final border.
