Okay, so the video is almost 10 minutes, but that’s because there’s an intro! See my completed 12″ Block Swap-ghan and then take a tour of my recently (and mostly!) cleaned and reorganized sewing/craft room.

This was written for the Twilight Crafts Black & Red Swap. It’s a basic pattern and there are a million and one variations on this theme. This is written to be 6″ with a simple sc edge. It’s super-duper easy and, I think, makes a fun black & red square!

Notes:
Throughout the pattern, you will be working across the strand of yarn that you are not using. This means you’ll only have ends to weave in at the beginning and end.
When changing colors, pull the new color through the top of the last dc. Do not cut the last color worked with (see above).
With Color A, ch 22
Row 1: dc in 4th ch from hook and in the next 3 st, change to Color B, working 1 dc in each of the next 4 st, change to Color A at the top of the fourth st, rep the pattern of 4 dc, change colors at the top of the fourth st, across, joining Color B at the top of the last dc, ch 3 turn.
Row 2: continuing to work Color B across Color A, dc in the next 3 st, change to Color B, continue pattern (4 dc, change color) across, joining Color A at the top of the last dc, ch 3 turn.
Row 3: continuing to work Color A across Color B dc in the next 3 st, change to Color A, continue pattern (4 dc, change color) across, joining Color B at the top of the last dc, ch 3 turn.
Row 4-9: Repeat 2-3, finish off

Maybe I just have a silly imagination, but I swear there’s a red vampire eye in this block. Do you see it? I think if I do another, I will make the last two rounds solid black and then it will definitely look like an eye!
This particular block was made for the Twilight Crafts Black & Red Swap, hence the vampiric name! I hope to have a few more new patterns to offer up as I go along during the swap.

…in which I apparently have done nothing but crochet for a week and you can tell I don’t feel well even though I was trying to fake it. Ah well!
