I posted this in the Pattern Central page, but thought you crocheters here might be able to help me better.
Can anyone help me locate a crochet pattern that starts at a corner and increases to the desired width, then decreases to the opposite corner where each cluster is a scallop with a rounded top instead of a shell of 3 or 4 dc?
I would appreciate any pointers that anyone would be able to provide.
Thanks so much Jack! That sounds like a good start. I’ll have to get my yarn and hook and give it a try. I was actually asking about this for a friend of a friend. She said her grandmother used to make afghans like this and she wanted to make one now that her grandmother is gone. Is it ok if I share this with her?
Thanks for all the time you spend helping others. You are so generous.
[COLOR="#330099"]I tried it with some cotton yarn I have and a size H (5.00 mm) hook. The first scallop made a nice square corner, but the second row made the edges fan out beyond 90 degrees. :nails:
And I couldn’t figure out how to decrease after you reach your longest diagonal. I guess one could always make two [triangular] corners and seam them together. :sad:
Your mileage may vary.
P.S. I don’t have to give up my “master” title for that pattern suggestion, do I?

Even the master is stumped sometimes! I still haven’t had a chance to try this myself, but I’m thinking maybe making the first and last scallops with less stitches in them. I will have to work up a sample to see how it comes out. I’ll let you know if I come up with anything workable, because I think this would make a nice pattern.
