Color Theory 101: Selecting Yarns That Go Together
A lot of patterns going around at the moment feature stripes: two or three colors that go together perfectly. You could follow the colors suggested in the pattern sample… but you want to try something a little different. But how in the world do you pick a colors that go together? Color theory. That’s how! Most yarn lines contain a wide range of of colors. Whoa! But don’t fret. It’s not all of the yarns, of course! Most yarn companies design their colors of yarn with compatibility in mind. Fortunately, there’s a name for the art of picking colors that go together: color theory. There are three color schemes that, if followed, will create knock-your-socks-off color combos: analogous, complementary and split complementary. Analogous Analogous colors are the ones that are next to each other on the color wheel: This scheme can work with any number of colors… pick two that are next to each other, three or four! Complementary I love using complementary colors. Split Complementary Related
Mahala Mandala crochet square | Y u l i
Hello! Its me again with free pattern / photo tutorial. This time I would like to share with you crochet Mandala that I made last summer but it was put away in one of my many baskets and forgotten((((( . Because I can be very disorganized… not sure if its part of being creative person or is it just one of my character minuses or pluses (depending how you relate to chaos)))) So few months ago while browsing through my stash…ta da I found it!!! I quickly pulled out Vinnis cottons, made few different color combinations… the flower shape of this motif can create awesome summer shawl, can be used as applique or table runner/coasters… and many other pretty things! Then I decided that it will look great as a square motif, so I re designed it and now it can be used in many different strait and square ways – blankets, cushion, vests, tops, bags… you know what I mean;) So here it is Mahala Mandala! ~ Mahala Mandala crochet square ~ You will need ~ 4 mm hook; ~ tapestry needle ~ scissor Abbreviation Note:

I recently saw a similar mandala from a German crochet artist and created this tutorial. I am crazy about these colors, and am so pleased at how it turned out. I've just painted a 12 x 12 inch canvas to mount the mandala on so that it can be a piece of crochet wall art! This is my first attempt at a tutorial, so please feel free to comment or question if something doesn't make sense. Here goes . . . Create a magic ring, there are lots of great tutorials on the web so I didn't take photos - just google. Round 1: ch 3 (this counts as first dc) then 1 dc, ch 2, then 2 dc. Round 2: slip stitch into the first ch 2 space, ch 3 (counts as frist dc), then 2 dc, chain 2, then 3dc. Round 3: change color, join in any ch 2 space, ch 3 (counts as first dc) 2dc, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 1, then in next space, 3dc,ch 2, 3 dc (you are stitching 3 double crochet cluster, chain 2, 3 dc cluster in each space around, totaling 6).

free pattern: spoke mandala - a creative being
Hurray, free pattern day! :) So many of you were interested in the pattern for this mandala, that I decided to write it down for you all. The people have spoken! This pattern uses US terms and abbreviations. What do you need: yarn (I used Drops Paris cotton yarn by Garnstudio)a matching crochet hook (I used a 4mm Clover hook)a Tunisian crochet hook in the same size (so for me a 4mm Tunisian hook)a darning needle to sew in the endsa pair of scissors If you don’t have a Tunisian hook, you could also use a regular steel hook. Here we go! 1. Chain 2, and make 11 dc’s in the ring. Cut the yarn and pull through the loop on your hook, and pull the ring closed to make a circle. Thread the yarn end through the needle and insert in the first dc you made, through both loops, skipping the ch2. Pull the needle through and now insert it in the back loop of the last stitch you made. 2. Crochet 2 dc’s in every stitch, back loops only! Good job! 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Yarn over and pull through the loop. 9. 10.
How to Soften Red Heart Super Saver Yarn
*Please note!* if you are crocheting/knitting for hospitals or preemie babies this may not be a good method. They prefer no product has been used on yarn of donated hospital items. This week I crocheted a Nyan Cat themed lovey for my impending baby. I worked up the blanket part and it is bad - it would be scratchy and coarse for a baby at least. After a day or so of research and experimentation the blanket actually came out super soft :) It also had wonderful drape which I did not expect. Take note that I had already finished the blanket part when I started this process, I don't know if this would work on the yarn itself before it's been worked up. Step 1: Rinse in cold water Step 2: Shampoo thoroughly, rinse twice Step 3: Working in sections, saturate entire piece with hair conditioner Step 4: Let sit in cool water for over an hour Step 5: Rinse thoroughly Step 6: Run it through the lightest wash cycle your washer machine can accomplish. Step 7: Put it in the dryer. That's it, you're done!
