Tegelikult polnud mul selle merineitsi sabaga teki heegeldamine üldse
plaanis, kuid üks hea tuttav tahab seda oma tütrele jõuludeks ning ma
mõtlesin mustri enne läbi teha kui päris tellimustöö kallale asun. On ju
minugi omal sellise teki üle hea meel.
Mustriks on Nadia Fuadi "Mermaid Tale Afgan". Ainuke suurem muudatus, mida ma tegin oli see, et tegin tekiosa natuke pikemaks (90 rida enne kahandamist) ja sabas 40 kinnissilmuse asemel 60. Iseenesest pole selles tekis midagi keerulist, kuid Ravelry mustrilingil klikkides jõuate ta blogilehele, kus on olemas ka videoõpetus, mille vaatamine kulub ära eriti siis, kui sa inglisekeelsetes heegeldamislühendites kuigi hästi ei orienteeru.
Lõngaks on Lion Brandi "Pound of Love" (Bubble Gum värvitoonis), mida kulus mul peaaegu kaks tokki (kokku 896 grammi) ning heegeldatud on 6mm heegelnõelaga. Lõng on küll puhas akrüül, kuid tekkideks sobib hästi, sest vajadusel saab ilusti pesta, ilma et töö kannataks. Olen seda ennegi kasutanud ja senini heade tulemustega. Teki värvi üle laps ei nurisenud, kuid märkis, et nüüd on tal ka punast parukat vaja.
I decided to try this pattern out. This is "Mermaid Tale Afgan" by Nadia Fuad and isn't difficult to make. Still, I would suggest that you would also watch her great tutorial video which can be found on her blog page (link in Ravelry), especially if you are not familiar with English crochet abbreviations. The main differences from the original pattern are that mine is 90 rows before the increase and the fin has 60 double crochets instead of 40.
The used yarn is "Pound of Love" by Lion Brand in color Bubble Gum. I used up almost 2 skeins (896 grams) and used crochet hook in size J (6mm.). It is acrylic yarn but perfect for blankets, it can be washed easily without damaging the project. Although Little Mermaid Ariel actually has a green tale, my daughter didn't complain about the color, just commented that she would also need a red wig now.
Ilusat värvilist sügist!
Have a nice colorful fall!
