Now, we are coming to the end so what we want to do is we want to cut not so much material, cut. We are going to grab our next color. Now, I am going to use yellow. Again, I am not very good at the knot aspect of how to do this but—okay so we are going to continue and we are just going to finish up the line. So, we only did the half pinwheel and so we are only going to do half of the actual stitch that you see across, that you can actually see across because you are on the very edge. So, we got one down and see I happen to cut the string at the proper length so that it changes color for the next one.
Okay so now we are going to turn it through around and then go back with the other way. Now, this is just so we got a match just like this. Do you see that there? It is a match. So, what we got to do is we are only going to do the single stitch then across the top of all of it sew and through. Okay and we are going to continue to go all the way across the top. And we are coming to the edge of the other side so I have gone all the way across the top. Just doing single stitches now so I am getting close. So, I am going to cut my string before I get to the edge. And switch to my third color. And again, it is the three colors that make this blanket cool. Now, I would not say that I would make a whole blanket on my colors that I am using right now but is just to show you.
Okay so we are coming into our third color. I am going to turn it. And now this line here instead of and we have just came across single and now if you look at it this side has the half pinwheel now and it has a single. So, what you got to do is you got to pretend that you are doing singles across the top of this over the top of the pinwheel so you got—we have the line going across that was the pinwheel. We came back and did over top so if you look at the very side of it you got to look at it and see that there will be three single lines for every edge and then one-half pinwheel. So, in this case we have to go a half. We got to go single stitches over top the pinwheel.
I know I am not explaining that very good but—okay and over top and so because we only did a half of the half of pinwheel so we are only going to do three stitches over the top of the pinwheel. So, we got our three and so now we got to create another half pinwheel. So, we have to skip over three so 1, 2, and 3 okay. And we are going to go right in the middle. So, we are going to go on the fourth one. Remember we are working in sevens so the fourth one is considered halfway across. And we are going to continue to go into the same hole to make this pinwheel and we are doing seven do not forget that. Seven is the magic number for this blanket. So, it is five and seven.
And now you are going to jump over how many? Number two so 1, 2 and go into the third. And the third then will be aligned up properly. We are going over the other pinwheel. And we are just going to single stitch that and go a single completely over this pinwheel, completely over it. And as we get closer to the edge—so we only go a seven single stitch so 1, 2, 3, 4 so we are on our seventh and now we have to create a half pinwheel on this side a half of the half. So, like we are going to the very edge—the very edge so that it cannot go any further and you are going to create three for the half pinwheel so one going into the same hole. Yes and we got to cut out string too.
Okay, we have cut our string and now we are just going type the next color so that it could b e ready to go into it. So, we have got two half pinwheel—two half. So, there two stitches for the half pinwheel and we need three so the third one will finish it and your color is changed. So because this last line was then a pinwheel line the next one has to then be a single stitch. So, let us do these single stitches all the way across. Okay and it does not just like the dingle stitching it does not really matter, you just got a single stitch right across the complete top.
Okay, we are coming close to the other side again and we have just done single stitch across the top as you can see there so we are going to cut our string again. And we are going to put the next color which is yellow. Okay and we are just going to finish single stitching and then turn it around and go back again. Okay, so we have just done the single stitch so therefore this will have to be half pinwheel stitch okay. So now we will see how you got three single stitches here. The next line is single stitch; the next line is single stitch so this must be a half pinwheel. So, it is complete a half of a half pinwheel.
So, we want to create three stitches to form that half of a half. I wish there is a better word for that. And you are going to jump over two so you are going to the third. So, you are going to the third right there and now you are going to single stitch over top this area here so single stitch for seven so you get done on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. And now you want create another pinwheel because you are on the pinwheel line. So, let us create another one, skip over two 1, 2 and 3 going to the third. And now you are going got make seven out of these suckers. So, we got 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. And you are going to skip over and see what the other pinwheel is starting up right there. Right there, that is where you want to go.
So basically once you get there the rhythm going—you can just very quickly visualize what are the next thing and so you are going to single stitch that in and single stitch across to the edge and then you would have cut your string and start over so you can see the pattern is actually starting. It is really hard to tell in this one the color but that is just the adjust. And when you finish it off you just tie up your string at the end and when you are doing all your lines all the way across that is how you do this blanket.
