Happy Flower Decoration

Happy Flower Decoration
This is a pattern/tutorial to show you how to make this Happy Flower wall hanging. You can read more about the design and making of the original decoration in this post. I'm using a cotton yarn to make this decoration, it's Rowan Handknit Cotton, a fairly robust DK weight yarn which I work on a 4mm hook. Before we begin, a little summary of the basic stitches. sl st [slip stitch] :: insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch, then through the loop on your hook. dc [double crochet] :: insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (two loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops on hook (note :: this is equivalent to the US sc stitch) htr [half treble]:: yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch (three loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all three loops on hook (note :: this is equivalent to the US hdc stitch) OK.............here we go........................................... :: Round 1 :: :: Round 2 :: There.

Stormy Seas Crochet Triangle Shawl | Rich Textures Crochet I have been loving making shawls at the moment! And when I came across this colour way in the Caron Big Cakes, I couldn’t resist grabbing it for this triangle shawl crochet pattern. I never thought of myself as a shawl person, but this past winter I loved having one hanging around my reading and crochet chair. It was perfect to grab and toss over my shoulders on a chilly afternoon or evening. This triangle shawl now has a permanent place on that chair! Caron Big Cakes by Yarnspirations I’ve always enjoyed using the Caron Cake line of yarn. Some of my other Caron Cake Patterns include the Around the Bend Throw – Free Crochet Pattern and the Ripple in Time Throw – A Free Crochet Pattern. I love how soft they are. You will also need a 6 mm crochet hook. The Design and Construction: I have classified the pattern as an intermediate pattern simply because of the variety of stitches.

Ten minute no-sew recycled t-shirt bag! Tutorial time! I got a gig teaching a recycled t-shirt project at the library a few months ago, with a request for a recycled tee bag – the only bags I’d made from tees in the past had required sturdy sewing, and I didn’t want hand-sewing to be the only thing holding the bottom closed in a class version of the bags, so I started brainstorming about some kind of hand-sewing-friendly or no-sew bag idea…. and here’s what I came up with! The simplest version of these bags is great for smaller tees, or the more light-weight kind of girl-tees – just turn the bottom of the shirt into a drawstring and tie it closed! As you can see, even with a not huge tee, this will still leave a significant hole in the bottom of your bag, but for purposes like grocery shopping, this size hole shouldn’t really matter… But to make smaller holes, just make more than one of them! Here’s a bag bottom with 2 holes: You could make it rounded, V-shaped, or squared like this one: My finished Sonic bag!
