Tapestry Crochet - Harlequin Pattern Tutorial Hello! So today I thought I'd chat a bit about the very cool crochet technique called tapestry crochet. Tapestry crochet allows you to create a piece of crochet that plays with colour changes and flat patterns. You use two coloured pieces of yarn and crochet over the colour not in use, so you can alternate between two colour as the pattern requires. That is pretty much it in a nut shell, so if you know how to crochet, draw up a pattern on graph paper and give it a try! Tapestry crochet creates a nice thick fabric, and you can be very creative with the patterns. A few people asked for a pattern, so if you want a bit more detail, I have done a little tutorial and step by step guide, I hope it doesn't get too confusing. So this is how I made my basic harlequin pattern: Firstly, I used graph paper to draw up my pattern, as you can see it's very simple! Each square represents 1 sc stitch. I am doing 3 repeats, so the first row of my pattern is 6, 1, 13, 1, 13, 1, 6 = 41 chains to start. xxxxxx

Free Vintage Crochet Doily Patterns from Beeton's Book of Needlework by Jane Lake The vintage doilies shown on this page are the first four of a set of ten vintage crochet patterns contained in the BEETON'S BOOK OF NEEDLEWORK, written by Isabella Beeton and first published in 1870. The invention of the doily is credited to Mr. D'Oyley, a successful 17th century milliner. Mr. Doilies are still used today to protect the surfaces of furniture from scratches or stains, but they also offer a feminine style element to any room from the boudoir to the basement. The Beeton Book of Needlework uses the word "D'Oyley" in all its crocheted doily patterns, but regardless of how you spell the name, the intricate designs in these doilies are clearly heirlooms in the making. If you look at the doilies shown here, you'll see many of the design elements are repeated, but in such a way that each doily remains, like a snowflake, a uniquely beautiful creation. Used reprints of the original Beeton's Book of Needlework are usually available through Amazon. Print this Page
How Tuesday: make crochet flowers Posted on Tuesday, April 26 2011 at 3pm I don't know about you but I've been absolutely relishing the sunny weather. After a hard winter and now a warm spring, I have my fingers crossed the seasons have decided on a game plan and will stick to it. Over the Easter break I was lucky enough to spend time in my home county of Somerset and do what I love most, making! So slavered in sun cream, firmly planted in a deck chair and with my right hand craft woman - my mum - by my side, we set about creating some lovely crocheted flowers. (N.B. The great thing about the flowers is you can make them in any colour yarn you fancy and are the perfect way to brighten up any project. Yarn! New to crochet?

Mormorsrutor med Prästkragar/Daisy Squares De här underbart vackra mormorsrutorna med Prästkragar får en nästan att känna doften av sommar, inte sant!? *** Information to my English speaking crochet friends: For a pattern in English, follow the link to Color’n Cream, where Jenn Poort has made an excellent photo pattern in English, called Vintage Flowers, which inspired me to make my Daisy Granny Squares.

Recycled Plastic Fat Bottom Bag | My Recycled Bags.com I present my plarn fat bottom bag that I crocheted using recycled plastic newspaper bags. You may remember me saying that it is difficult for me to obtain pretty colors in plastic bags for my crafting. Well thanks to a suggestion from a blogger friend, I asked my local library to save their newspaper bags for me. They have been giving me one pink and one orange plastic bag daily from their newspapers. You may notice that the pink shade on the last few rounds of the bag and handles are darker. As I mentioned this is my first fat bottom crocheted bag. Below you will find some pictures I took as I worked the pattern. Click on any of the photos to supersize them Here is shell started and also a photo after the base shell was completed. Here is the lining pinned in place before the gathering and the handles are crocheted. My Fat Bottom Bag Flap: Several people have asked about the flap I added and wanted instructions on how to create this flap. Mark the center 12 stitches on bag opening.
