Thread and Beads Infinity Scarf I have a surplus of crochet thread. And I almost never buy it. I think my family finds it at yard sales and gives it to me, or maybe it’s just multiplying on its own, like Tribbles. Either way, I need to get some of it out of the stash and into my life. Maybe I should have called this post The Trouble with Trebles. Haha, Get it? Because you can only make so many doilies, so many crochet rocks, and jewelry only uses little bits – I needed to think of something different and BIGGER. I’ll reveal what I did here in case you want to give it a try, but I’m not going to call it a pattern, and this is why: The edging is directly influenced by this one I found on Pinterest. I’m becoming a little gun-shy to post patterns because I get comments telling me I should make You Tube tutorials and/or that written patterns are too difficult and they aren’t good. Please note: the 5mm hook is a big(ger) hook, like one you would normally use with worsted weight yarn. Thread and Beads Scarf 1. 2. 1. 2. 3. 4.
Crochet I just love the "homespun yarns" by Lion Brand. They make for warm and cozy winter wear. I decided to take my basic beanie hats and infinity scarfs and make sets for family and friends this Christmas season. This one is a smaller length scarf with a removable flower on the hat. This is a beautiful fall color combination. Homespun Super Bulky or Bulky yarn Using a K- hook Chain 21 Row 1 - Dc in 5th chain from the hook, chain 2, dc in same stitch.

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. If you like to know why I started to crochet mine – please use Google Translate or such and read all of my blog post! ;) *** Inspirationen till att virka dessa vackra rutor fick jag när jag upptäckte en blogg driven av en kvinna som har en förkärlek till att virka de mest färggranna och underbara kuddar. Beautiful pillows made by Dragana Savkov-Bajić Mönstret hon har använt är dock länkat vidare till bloggen Color’n Cream, där Jenn Poort, som även hon virkar otroligt fina och mycket färgglada saker, har gjort ett engelskt fotomönster för rutorna. 1. 5. 9. 1 dst i nästa maska i ringen. 10. 13. 17- 18. 21.

CROCHET V STITCH INFINITY SCARFS Infinity scarfs have become very popular where I live , especial with the -20 weather conditions we get here in Northern Maine. This is a simple v stitch that makes a great scarf. It works up pretty quick and can be any length you want. The one above is made with "Homespun" yarn by Lion Brand. Using a K- hook Chain 21 Row 1 - Dc in 5th chain from the hook, chain 2, dc in same stitch. Row 2 - In each chain 2 space work a v-stitch. Join together at each end by either whip stitching together or slip stitching across the two rows to join them. This beautiful infinity scarf was made with the "Super Bulky" Lion Brand yarn. Have fun making several creation. This one was done with less rows for an infinity scarf that fits the neck perfectly without any extra for looping like the two above.
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

crochet ric-rac Hey there! What are you up to this fine Monday morning? Since my post last week, I've had so many emails and comments asking about the recipe for homemade, hooked ric-rac, that I thought I'd do a little how to. Before we start there are a few things to keep in mind. I am using US crochet terminology.I usually use a size 2 hook but its fun to experiment. STEP ONE - Chain four. STEP TWO - dc into the fourth chain from the hook, ie. the first chain you made. STEP THREE - Do another dc into the same chain as in step two, chain, then do a final dc into the same chain. STEP FOUR - Chain three. STEP FIVE - Turn your work so that the crochet you just did is up the top as per the photo. Then do two dc's, chain and another dc into the chain space from the previous round. Then chain three. and turn. STEP SIX - Repeat step five until you reach your desired length. Always ch3 after each cluster and then turn. Fasten off. Here's the whole thing again in crochet language; Chain 4 (only this once) See ya!
SIMPLISTIC CROSS STITCH HAT WITH ENDLESS DESIGNS I designed these two simple crochet hats to make for cancer foundations around the USA I wanted to create a design that was very quick to work up, yet had a small design feature. I love the cross stitch worked into any pattern as it gives it dimension. Once you get the generalization of how to create a hat and how to increase or decrease rounds for any size, then the pattern to design is endless. You can work this pattern up with the cross stitches worked on every second row or you can work them in two consecutive rows Again have fun with the design. I also wanted the hat to be able to be made for a boy or girl, and just by adding the scallop edge to the bottom of the hat, in place of the last round of single crochet for the boy, turns this into a girl hat. Take it one step farther and add a crochet flower for a girl or a puppy or monkey for a boy. I -Hook Worsted weight yarn Round 1 : Create a magic circle and put 12 dc in circle. Round 6-7: Dc in each dc around (60).
