Harley Davidson Afghan Chart


THIS PATTERN IS NOW DOWNLOADABLE ON MY NEW FACEBOOK GROUP PAGE.  YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.  JUST GO TO THE FILES TAB TO DOWNLOAD.

I recently got this comment:

"Do you do charts for crochet?? I am a recent follower, and I ask because my nephew has asked me to find a pattern for an afghan he wants. I haven't looked around, have no idea where to start, but he wants one with the Harley-Davidson logo across the top half and with flames coming up from the bottom half. Sound like anything you would be able to do? Or do you have any suggestion where I should look?? Thanks for your help."  Darlene

I love a good challenge, so here's my rendition:

I realize there's no way you could crochet this afghan from this tiny picture, so if you want the chart email me at crochetparfaitpg@yahoo.com.  Let me know what format you want it in.  (Excel--editable .xlsx, Adobe .pdf or picture .png,  I recommend the .xlsx or .png files because the pdf splits it up into several pages.)

Read further for more information on how to do Tapestry crochet.  I have a new tutorial on how to read a chart where I spell it out more clearly.  You can find it here

I've just uploaded a video on how to read the chart, how to change colors, how to carry yarn and how to use yarn bobbins. I'm only crocheting a middle section of the chart.  You will start at the edges of the chart to complete it.

Here is a tutorial on how to cross stitch on tapestry crochet



Update, here is a finished version of the afghan by Penny Jones.

Each square on the pattern counts as a single crochet.  It has 147 stitches across and 176 rows. The gauge of the pattern totally depends on the size yarn and hook you use.  I measured my gauge for worsted weight yarn and an I hook at 4 sts and 4 rows = 1".  With this gauge the afghan would measure 36"x44".  If you want to make it wider or longer, I'd add black stitches on either side of the pattern for width or more rows to the top and bottom of the pattern to make it longer.  I don't knit, but I think you could use this for a knitted afghan as well.

I've had several people ask me how much yarn to use so I estimate that it will take 500 yd skeins of worsted weight yarn (I recommend Red Heart Super Saver or Red Heart Super Saver Economy ), 3 each in black and orange and 1 each in yellow, red and white.  As Andrea pointed out, carrying the yarn will make it so you will need more yarn.  This is just an estimate, I haven't actually made the afghan yet.

I Just got some tips from Marsha, who made this intricate afghan.

I've crocheted several blankets from grids and when you are working with several colors, the best piece of advice I have is to find a large flat surface or table that you can spread out on. It keeps the yarn from getting tangled and when you start a new row, you just walk around to the other side of the table. That way you don't have to shift all those balls of yarn.

I usually make up several small- to medium-sized balls of yarn from the main skein if a color is repeated at several intervals across the work, but there are other colors in between. To keep the balls from unraveling, I place them in sandwich size ziplock bags. However, if I'm going back and forth with a couple colors every few stitches, I just carry the opposing color strand through and crochet over it as I would if I were changing yarn in the middle of a row and hiding the tail. This does tend to make the project a little thicker, however, so you have to be selective about where you apply this technique. 


A tip from Janice about how to do Tapestry Crochet:
"Chart Afghans are my favorite type of afghan to make. I have made several. One trick I have learned over the years is to thread your yarn from the bobbins in a straw before you start your stitch this keeps the bobbins from tangling. I never used a table to crochet/knit/Tunisian Afghans I always sit in my rocker so I am not sure what method is being used here. Also to keep the back as neat as possible I don’t carry the yarn I use different bobbins for each color and then weave the ends into the afghan. I keep track of the right side and wrong side to hang the bobbins on the wrong side never on the right side. An easy way to keep track is the odd rows are the wrong side and the even rows are the right side or vice versa which ever you prefer as I turn with each row I do not end and start over."


Here's a tip from Kelly on dealing with all the yarn:
"I am in the process of making this blanket, lemme tell you, you need a long table, at least 20 bobbins (to hold your strings). I'm needing at the moment 19..Annies sells them 6 to a pack..when you need to carry make sure the color your using is laying closest to your body and the color you are dropping at the moment is behind..don't carry farther then 4 and most importantly, well for me anyways DO NOT TURN BLANKET end with black every row." 

Here are Kelly's afghans in progress:

Double Crochet

"I'm not a fan of this method and heres the reasons,  uses a lot of yarn, a lot of bobbins, you can see unused thread from right side and the work isn't tight. Since I started one in the afghan stitch using the extra long J hook , I honestly don't want to go back to the double crochet method."


Afghan stitch

"the afghan stitch is tight, uniform, no mess with bobbins, thicker, and I'm lovin' this because I can rock in my chair instead of leaning over a table..you can hide the extra yarn in the back as well."


If you would like to ask Kelly about making the afghan in afghan stitch you can reach her here.

Here is a video of Kelly showing how to do color changes in afghan stitch.

This is a picture of the finished afghan in Afghan Stitch by Doris.

Here is a tutorial video by Crochet Geek on how to do the afghan stitch. 

If you have any questions for Kelly, post them in the comments below.  As soon as Kelly gets her blog up I will post the link.


Here is my version in single crochet:

I'm finding the best way to keep the integrity of the design is to crochet each row in the same direction.  That means I have to cut the yarn at the end of the row (I'm crocheting right to left since I'm right handed) and then join it again on the next row at the beginning of the row.  I start on the right with the black yarn then add each color as it comes up in the design and then drop those colors as they end in the design ending with the black yarn at the end of the row and tying off.    I've decided that I'm not happy with method and have changed course, you can read about it here.



If you are really talented (and somewhat ambidextrous) you can switch the hook to your left hand when you get to the end of the row and then crochet back the way you came like Carol Ventura does.  If you aren't ambidextrous, try this tutorial from Interweave.

This is another video tutorial by Red Heart Yarn.

If you are new to crochet charts check out my Skull iPad Case pattern below, it has a tutorial on how to read a chart.  If you would rather cross stitch the details of the chart, I would crochet the major black and orange areas and then you can have a look at my Day of the Dead Banner (also below) pattern for a tutorial on how to cross stitch on single crochet. 



Happy Hooking!

Also my man is 6'4 350 so in addition to the chart I've added 20 dc to each side making that 197 stitches across, ill lay it against his back to determine the height which I would guess be 40 extra rows.. when guys at work see this all laid out strings laying side by side, they wonder how I could have patience for crocheting an not for people. This project is not for people who want it done yesterday! Kelly

  3. Thank you Kelly for the explanation on how to switch yarn colors. I'm making a confederate flag for my son and put skeins of yarn in gallon baggies, but they keep getting tangled and it's frustrating to have to move several skeins of yarn back and forth and back and forth every time I turn a row. Do the bobbins help alleviate this? Diane

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Well Diane, I had the same issue until I figured out that NOT turning the blanket elivated the mess. Once the row was completed I ended it with the color I was working with. So you'll have right side face up and wrong side face down. Im breezing right through the rows because I lay
      the blanket on a long table and have a chair with rollers that helps me scoot across the blanket..YES, bobbins help! Until I get them in I took some cardboard glove boxes, cut off the ends, cut the ends into three and made a slit top and bottom of the cardboard square then wrapped my string around it, oh boy it took away frusteration a and headache..all strings lay in a row side by side..if its ok with Pam I can give my email out so you could see pics of my afghan in progress laid out on the table..Kelly

    3. Ok cool, ill email to you, ive also started this afghan in the style of the afghan stitch..o my goodness so much more even stitches, its nice and thick, easy to hide differant colors, less bobbins to use (so far) this stitch is seriously much faster and you can rock in a chair instead of leaning over a table..I will put this together with five panels, first I am going by your chart exactly for the middle panel..lol the other four panels ill figure out later..kelly ps..I live in Euless not to to far from you, my daughter lives in spring this side of houston, I would love to come visit you

  6. I'm trying to plan my attack on this afghan and was wondering if it would be feasible to clip the yarn on the back and weave in the ends as you go or is it easier to carry the yarn? I'm also considering putting a back on the afghan and if I do that there would be no need to weave in ends just tie them off. This will be my first attempt at doing this type crochet although I have been crocheting for 35+ yrs.

    1. I'm making the afghan right now and I'm not a very experienced tapestry crocheter. My first attempt with integrating all the yarn in carryovers wasn't very good, it was shrinking. So I decided to just go with the black and orange yarn on the flame. I'm using the orange everywhere there is another color other than black and then I'm going to go back and cross stitch the other colors over the orange. I've been carrying the yarn behind every stitch. It does show through somewhat, but not too badly. I will have to be careful with the cross stitching to not make it too messy on the back. When I get to the lettering I'm planning on carrying the white yarn along with the black and orange.

      If you put a backing on the afghan, it probably doesn't matter how messy the back is. Just make sure you attach the backing securely in several places, so that when you wash it it stays together.

  9. Hi Pam,
    Thanks so much for sharing this pattern. I just got it in the email today and it looks great. Just a question. I've been following your page as well as Kelly's: Has anyone tried working this up in panels and then sewing them together? Looking at the pattern in PDF format, the idea came to me and I was wondering if it was feasible, and if it would look ok when done. I know that Kelly is working it in five panels, but what I was thinking of was breaking up the central pattern into a couple panels as well.
    If anyone has tried it like that, could you please let me know how it worked out? Can't wait to begin working on this!!!

    1. I hadn't thought of doing it that way, but I don't see why not. So far as I know you and Kelly are the only one's doing it that way. If I hear from anyone doing it in panels, I'll post it on the blog.

    2. I'm going to do my first 'flames' in panels, and see ... i did the center Harley Davidson logo to start with, in dc and it's pretty, big. Saw on here where the whole thing is good sized in SC. so,,i do a lot of filet crochet, but this is my first using graphs,,,,

    2. Are you knitting or doing Tunisian crochet? With Tunisian you can do several loops at once, finish that portion off and then move on to the next part of the blanket. I'm not sure about knitting, but you may be able to buy longer needles. There are some knitters who have posted their pictures of the Harley afghan on Ravelry, so I'll ask them how they managed it.

      Delete
    3. This is the message I got from Claire: "I used 7mm needles, and since I use interchangeable circulars, yes, all 125 sts did fit on the needles. The result is a very small afghan of around 80cm x 1m. My sister was going to use it as a giant cushion cover… I don’t know if she did."

    1. If you would like to make your own chart, here is a link to a tutorial on how to use Excel or Tricksy Knitter to make charts http://crochetparfait.blogspot.com/2013/06/making-your-own-crochet-or-knitting.html

      There is also a free service called StitchBoard that allows you to upload an image, tell it how big you want it and what colors and it makes a free pdf chart for you. You can find it here http://stitchboard.com/pages/pattern/freePatternWizard.php

  152. Hi Pam, I have used perm rods to make my bobbins with and I also use an ironing board to keep it on. That way I just have to turn the ironing board when I'm ready to crochet the opposite way on my afghans. Hope this little bit of information will be helpful to someone with their afghan making. Thanks for sharing the Harley Davidson pattern with us. I'm going to attempt to make 2 of them for my brothers for their birthdays this year. They're big time Harley lovers.
