Made in K-town: Little Spring Mandala

Made in K-town: Little Spring Mandala
Pattern: Made in K-Town by Barbara Please respect my rights as designer: do not sell, share, translate, or publish any parts of my patterns (including pictures) online or elsewhere without my permission. Do not claim this pattern as your own. Feel free to sell the finished items you’ve made from my pattern! Material: As usual, I used small amounts of Catania by Schachenmayer and a 2.5mm hook. Some general notes: For this pattern I use US crochet terms. I did NOT write down the chains at the beginning of each round: for the first stitch in every round, work chains (e.g. 3 chains for the first dc) OR start with a “standing stitch” i.e. join the new color with a slip knot or a simple loop ON YOUR HOOK and just work the first sc or dc as usual. I hope I haven't lost you already :) Here we go: 1st Round: start with a magic ring and work (1dc, ch1) 12x inside the ring, fasten off (12 ch1-spaces) 2nd Round (new color): work (1sc, ch2) in every ch1-space, fasten off (12 ch2-spaces) Related:  Crochet Mandalas, Blocks, MotifsStick och virkmönster

interweave I have always felt a lot of stress and anxiety. A ludicrously disproportionate amount, in fact to the amount of actual hardship in my life. It may not be my favorite aspect of my personality, but I’ve learned to find the advantages. One of them is a deep appreciation for the power of busy hands, especially the newest craft in my arsenal, crochet. There are countless stories of the very real healing powers of crochet; stories of crocheting combat veterans, crocheting through long-term illness, and using crochet to help those in need. Don’t get me wrong: I love my other fiber arts too, for a wide variety of reasons including their impact on my mental health. In particular, I have lately become obsessed with crocheting mandalas. I recently decided to sit down and make a deliberate practice of stitching an entire crochet mandala in one night. 1. I chose a night when my roommates were both out of town and I decided to devote some time to the wall hanging I’ve been envisioning for weeks. 2.

Nesting Rainbow Owls | Moji-Moji Design Here’s a set of wide-eyed Rainbow Owls and a mossy nest for them to snuggle up in. Of course you don’t have to stick with the rainbow theme. These little guys would look good in any color combinations. The owls and the leaves that decorate the nest are made with light worsted weight/DK yarn (worsted weight would work just as well) while the nest itself is crocheted up in lightening fast time with super bulky yarn. I like the contrast between the two different weights of yarn. The heavy yarn looks kind of like bark so the nest really did end up looking like it was straight out of the forest. I’ve nicknamed the green owl Kevin as he definitely enjoys being home alone! For the English Language version click on the button below.

Soft Flower-Square Bev's Soft 6" Flower Square copyright Beverly A. Qualheim 1996, 2016 This is a little tricky (at first) so I have added a few photos that should help. It makes a lovely square for afghans, (even make just one to cover a little doll in BEV'S CRADLE PURSE), shawls, lapgans, purses...! Each square is approximately 6" square and for an Adult Afghan you will need about 10 across and 12 down = 120 squares (60" x 96") For kids blanket you will need 6 across and 8 down = 48 squares (36" x 48")Materials for adult blanket: Size H crochet hook I used Carron 'Simply Soft" worsted weight yarn-- 6 oz skeins. 6 skeins white, 2 skeins each of light blue, light pink, light yellow, and light green (I had some let over yarn, but I never mind that, as I make mittens and baby hats from it.) Abbreviations:ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch; dc = double crochet SQUARE:Start here (On right side of square) PINK (or light blue, or yellow) (petal colors) YARN: Ch 6, sl st to 1st ch to close the ring.

Happy granny hat pattern I've crocheted a lot of hats in the past two, three years, and have tried many different patterns. I prefer really colourful hats and granny square style ones are very suitable to obtain just that! In order to create the perfect pattern, I've combined various patterns I found online (Ravelry is a great source for that). Through trial and error I think I have created the perfect hat - I call this my 'Happy granny hat'! You can use any colour combination you like to make this hat yours. The pattern for a 'Happy granny hat' Yarn Any sports weight yarn. Hook 3.5 (E) - go up or down depending on how tight you crochet or what size hat you want to obtain. Size Using a similar yarn and hook, this pattern will help you make a hat that fits a 3-6 months old child (about 35-40 cm around) Stitches used (in US terms!) Slip stitch (sl st) Chain stitch (ch) Half double crochet (hdc) Double crochet (dc) Magic ring I don't mention any colour changes in this pattern, that's up to you to decide. Done! Love, Simone

Choosing Crochet Mandala Colors is as Easy as 1, 2, 3 - Interweave Something I hear time and again when talking with crocheters about stitching mandalas is that mandalas are beautiful, but they don’t know what colors to pick. Combining colors into a pleasing palette can be a challenge, but there are ways to overcome your color fears and make a beautiful finished object. It’s all about simplifying. That’s right: creating a beautiful mandala is as easy as 1, 2, or 3. Using a few of the beautiful examples of colorful crochet mandalas from the 50+ that appear in Modern Crochet Mandalas, let’s explore some of the approaches to color you can take when picking skeins for your next project. 1. The easiest way to dive into making a crochet mandala without fear of choosing the wrong colors is to simply choose your favorite color and go. Sandra Eng’s Puffs and Picots mandala shows that a single color can look just as lovely as a mandala with many shades. 2. When choosing two contrasting colors, avoid using them in equal parts. 3. Are you color wheels spinning yet?

Virka färgglad grytlapp Gäststugan behövde nya grytlappar och detta blev resultatet. Och även bidraget till veckans syföreningsmöte :-) Såhär virkar du den här fina grytlappen: Virka 30 luftmaskor. Hoppa över en maska *Virka 1 fm och 1 st i samma m, hoppa över en fm*. Upprepa detta tills grytlappen har blivit lika hög som bred. Virka sedan fm runt hela grytlappen (alt kan du virka en fm i varannan m och en lm emellan) i samma färg som spetsen, och 15 lm i ett av hörnen, till upphängning. . Jag har gjort tre olika spetsar: Spets rosa grytlapp: Popcornspets. Spets syrenlila grytlapp: Pluppspets. Spets gammalrosa grytlapp: Sågtandsspets Börja med en sm och virka 3 lm, och sedan en sm i första lm från virknålen och en fm i andra lm från virknålen, Virka sedan en fm i nästa och upprepa detta runt hela grytlappen.
