Neat Ripple Pattern

Neat Ripple Pattern
Ahhhhhhhh look at all those hooky ripplesome ripples, aren't they glorious? I love crocheting this pattern, its relatively simple, rhythmic and soothing, but playing with colours in this way is also energising, exciting and a lot of fun. Well to me it is any road. there's something magical and mesmerising about the way the ripple effect makes the colours sing and dance next to each other, and it's a pattern I can see myself coming back to time after time. When I made my first ripple blanket last year (finished in August 2008), I followed a pattern in Jan Eatons book (the Soft Waves pattern), and it has to be said that at first this pattern was not plain sailing. But I persevered and eventually I cracked it. But truthfully I always think crochet patterns look and sound far too complex, more than they actually need to be. So what I've done here for you is to write my own pattern. To start out, you need to crochet your foundation chain. That whole thing is a tr2tog (treble two together)

Girls Crochet Snood (Cowl, Tube Scarf) by thredHED - Craftsy Pattern Description: This the junior version of my oh-so-basic crocheted snood, which I featured on my blog last year with every intention of providing a pattern. The adult version has been very popular and I've had a good few requests for the version for little ones that I pictured in the original post.This quick and easy snood is crocheted with a double strand of dk yarn, using a simple treble (U.S. - double crochet) stitch. It is knitted in a circle so that sewing up is not necessary. The ease and speed with which it can be made makes it suitable for beginners. Gauge: Approx 10sts to 12cm, 4rows to 8cm.

Ripple Blanket Know-how The Neat Ripple pattern is one of my absolute favourites for blanket making and over the years that I've been crocheting I've made several. Picture above from left to right :: Summer ripple :: Interlocking Colour ripple :: Coast Ripple I've already written a full step-by-step tutorial for working the neat ripple stitch which you can find HERE. ♥ For my blankets I generally use a DK weight acrylic yarn worked on a 4mm hook. ♥ I have used 15 x 100g balls of Stylecraft Special DK acrylic with a 4mm hook to make my Coast and Cottage ripple blankets. ♥ If you wish to make the blanket bigger ie to fit a double / king size bed, you will need to increase the number of stitches in your starting chain.....the starting chain should always be a multiple of 14, plus an extra 3. ♥ I'm writing this pattern in UK crochet terms, as follows :: sl st [slip stitch] :: insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch, then through the loop on your hook. YO, draw through 2 loops (2 loops on hook) 1.

Crochet in Color: Accidental Cowl This cowl was an accident...hence the name. I didn't intend to make another cowl this winter and somehow I did. I was actually trying to make a poncho and I messed it up. So I threw it down and left it alone for a few days. A couple of weeks ago I picked it back up and sewed the ends together. When I put it around my neck I realized that I had made another cowl. To anyone who is concerned with the name and/or description: This pattern is original. The stitches are loose and open but when you put it on, you will realize how soft and drapey it feels. I think you'll love it too. This is a great beginners pattern. Here's how I accidentally made it: Material Bulky weight size 5 yarn (I used Patons Shetland Chunky in Oxford Grey) Size M or N crochet hook Yarn needle Measurements 7.5 inches (18cm) in width 54 inches (137cm) in circumference Do not crochet too tightly Work in rounds The first Ch 2 or Ch 3 of each round counts as the first stitch. Ch 78 loosely Join ch with sl st See...it's so easy.

Crochet Pattern Four Seasons Chevron Blanket pattern ready Gentle Ridges: Quick and easy crochet dishcloth pattern - Columbus crafts It's no secret that homemade dishcloths make great gifts. Both crochet and knit varieties last forever, holding up through repeated beatings in the washer and dryer, not to mention what they go through in the kitchen or bath. Since they are inexpensive to make and work up quickly, they are also a great item to crochet or knit in bulk to sell at church bazaars and craft fairs. With the number of free patterns available on the internet, it's easy to make a nice gift with little time or money spent. I'm no fancy designer and like to crochet simple things, but I played around with a favorite crochet stitch and threw this little number together very quickly. I prefer a crochet dishcloth that has a little bit of a raised stitch and even have a few set aside that I use strictly as washcloths - they're perfect in the bath for gentle exfoliating without being too rough. Gentle Ridges Dishcloth Pattern Finished size approx 8"x8" Abbreviations This pattern can also be adapted to make hot pads.

12 days of DIY crochet gifts to make: Day 5- trendy slouchy hat Day 5 of the 12 days of DIY gifts to make presents a very trendy slouchy hat that is simple to make, yet is so visually stunning. When it comes to hats, most, if not all hat patterns, usually have you going in rounds without turning, and I thought what happens if you do turn your work in a hat pattern, will something bad happen? Apparently not as I discovered that crocheting in the round, and turning your work after each round (like when working a square or rectangular piece) gives a normal simple hat pattern that extra bit of pop. The pattern as is will work as a small. If you need a larger size, some suggestions would be to not do the single crochet decreases called for in the pattern, or use a bigger hook size. The beauty of this hat is that it will work for a woman or a man, which should make gift giving easy. The hat project time is about 4 hours. Please do not post this pattern on your website or take it as your own. Materials: H hook Scissors Tapestry needle Stitches used: Special notes:
