Carinas Craftblog: Granny square joining tutorial
Just a warning before we get started with the tutorial, there's LOTS of pictures and I may go into too much detail, but that's just what I do. ;-) By the way, this is the yarn I use. Dc/treble: this refers to the same stitch. Dc if you use US crochet terms and treble if you use UK terms. July 2012 - Please note: these days I do very little crochet because I'm working on an embroidery book. There are loads of methods of joining (granny) squares, my method is just one, and may not even be the best. If you have particular layout for your blanket in mind, lay out your squares in that pattern. Then stack your squares so you can keep track of what goes where. Because of how this method works, it is best to have as few squares in each stack as possible. Take the top square and put it on the left and then the next square and keep that on the right. Now put those 2 squares together, with the back of the squares facing each other. Next make 3 dc/trebles in the next space in the yellow square. Related:  neulelinkit

Crochet School Sorry I've taken so long to post this very last post of the crochet school series. Would you believe me if I said I don't want it to end? haha That's not the real reason, although it is a little weird to be writing the last crochet school post (for now). I've just been busy designing new patterns and crocheting my butt off for the craft show I'm in next month, Deluxe. I was also waiting for all of you to have time to put in questions you want answered in this post. Let's cover those questions first: Carly asked "I think you mentioned that you can weave in ends with a hook. Hi carly, Since you're making a blanket, I would probably just try to find a bigger needle. Nia asked "I understand how to make the corners when seaming horizontally but what about vertically.. do we skip the corners and just seam the sides? Since you only do one corner from each side when seaming horizontally, you'll pick up those other two corners when you to the vertical stitches. Don't be afraid to ask for help!

Lacy Blanket Join How to make a Lacy Join for Blanket Squares The aim of this tutorial is to show you how I made the lacy join on my Vintage Sampler Blanket. The squares, although the same size, ended with different stitch numbers, and so this was my solution to join them all together.What you'll need: Lots of lovely crochet squares to join.(I used the squares made using Jan Eaton's 200 Crochet Blocks) The same weight of yarn you used for your squares The same hook you used for your squares Stitch markers or pins * Please also see the written pattern at the end of this tutorial*Download a PDF of the written directions Difficulty: Tricky - ★★★ Although I try to explain as much as possible and keep my tutorials as simple as I can, I'm calling this one tricky because I've had to assume you can read a crochet pattern and know your crochet stitches for this one. Crochet Terms: This pattern is written in UK terms. American terms are given below in green. ss - Slip Stitch (Slip Stitch) htr - Half Treble (Half Double) S x

Louie's Loops: Taking Crocheting to the Future So I'm somewhat, okay a lot of, a nerd. For those of you who arn't or maybe didn't know, there's a little convention called Comic Con, and last Thursday through Sunday all the lucky people of New York had their 6th annual Comic Con. Unluckily for me I live in California, and I'm also broke :) but to commemorate this event and kinda commemorate Halloween, which is just around the corner, I decided to make a nerd based crocheted item (the first of many more). For those of you who don't know, this is known as a Brain Slug from the show Futurama. Here are some photo's of the finished product: Materials:-Lion Brand Cotton Ease Lime Green-Size US-G/4.00 mm Crochet Hook-White Felt-Small (about 1/4-1/2") Black Button-A little bit of stuffing *First make a tiny ball of yarn separate from the main ball for the antennae. Now cut a circle out of the felt, and sew the button on before sewing the entire eye onto the body. I make a great zombie slave You can buy this guy here!

Recycle Tutorial - Making Of T-Shirt Yarn | Free Pattern &Tutorial at CraftPassion.com Another tutorial to help save our Mother Earth by turning unwanted items into something useful. This is the yarn ball I made out of an old T-shirt which I have been wearing for 10 years day-in day-out, wash-in wash-out. It finally broke down and tore at the collar and sleeves. Waste not, want not, I decided to recycle it. I have finished making the drawstring bag as shown above. {CLICK HERE to get the Recycle Tutorial – Making Of T-Shirt Yarn.} Pages: 1 2 Print / Download PDF Finishing: 5 Crochet Edges You Should Know An edge is worked directly on a piece of crochet, unlike a trim, which is worked separately then attached into position on the fabric (crocheted or not). Your choice of crochet edge can make or break your design. Leaving an edge unfinished is not the end of the world, but if you really want your project to soar, choosing an appropriate finishing stitch can really take it over the edge! Photo via Craftsy class Crochet Lab, Basic Techniques & Patterns I suggest memorizing them, so when you get to the end of a project, you already have a few ideas on how to complete it. Along with how to complete the stitches, I have included a suggested number of stitches they can be worked on. Crocheting a row of SC is suggested before you start an edge pattern so you can work on an even line, especially if you are working a side! Crab stitch The crab stitch is utilized as a corded edging. Worked over: any number of stitchesFinish it: Work an odd number of rows (at least one) of single crochet. Shell edging

Vinkkejä amigurumien tekoon Tarvikkeet Langat Valitse lanka, joka on tiiviisti kierretty, jotta koukku ei mene langan väliin. Catania löytyy Helsingistä ainakin FiinaNeuleesta (Annankatu 20), Menitasta (Korkeavuorenkatu 20), Haminasta Käsityöliike Maijukasta (Sibeliuskatu 25) ja ainakin kolmeasta Jyväskylän lankakaupasta. Kun amigurumeihin jää koukkuun, kotiin alkaa kertyä helposti aikamoinen määrä lankoja. Nyt lankoja saa tauon jälkeen taas myös Sokoksesta, Stockmannilta, Anttilasta ja vaikka mistä. Voit virkata myös kotoa löytyvistä langanpätkistä, mutta siisteimmän lopputuloksen saat, kun ostat puuvillalankaa tai ohutta villalankaa. Virkkuukoukku Yhdellä pärjäät, kahdella loistavasti. 3,5mm tai 4mm. Silmät ja kuonot Amigurumeista saa pienillekin lapsille sopivia, kun niille laittaa läpipainosilmät eli turvasilmät. Liimattavia silmiä löytyy monista kaupoista. Jos et halua ostaa silmiä, voit myös käyttää nappeja tai helmiä. Täyte Amigurumit täytetään polyesterivanulla. Ohjeet Voit myös keksiä ohjeita itse!

How to Crochet - Starting a Blanket Video – 5min.com How to Seam Granny Squares April 19th, 2012 by Jess I love granny squares because they make it so easy to play with exciting colors. Often, my squares end up with different colored borders, so how do I choose a shade to seam them? The answer’s easy: I can use any color because I use an invisible seam! Step 1: Gather your materials: finished granny squares, a blunt needle, and your seaming yarn (I used a contrasting yarn for demonstration, but you may want to use matching yarn). Step 2: Insert your needle into your first crochet stitch from the back to the front. Step 3: Repeat Step 2 on the opposite side. Step 4: Ready for that seam to disappear? Step 5: Repeat with all squares, and that’s all there is to invisible seaming! Related links:

Crochet Swirls (Tutorial) « Crafts (Update: To see more of my patterns, please visit my ONLINE SHOP!) This is a little crochet swirl. You might have seen me using it in this project. And since I gave you a pinky swear promising I’d show you how it’s done, here it is. Which in short means that I really hope the following sentences make at least some sense. Here’s what you need. Two yarns of different color – the bulkier the yarn the bulkier the swirl. You also need one hook that will work well with your yarns, a needle and a pair of scissors. Let’s pretend that is not a hair cutting scissors. Please. The whole swirl has only four rows. 1. 2. 3. 4. Finish off. You have just created a funny curly strip. Now twist the strip into a nice shape. Using a needle and some yarn, sew some stitches in the middle and along the edges only to fixate the whole swirl. I made only three stitches and that was it. I can imagine these on scarves, slippers, headbands or as a brooch even. Enjoy, dear friends! Love, Petra

Amineko eli virkattu kissa Japanissa virkattua kissaa kutsutaan Aminekoksi. Amineko sana on puhekielessä lyhenne sanoista "amigurumi neko", joka tarkoittaa ihmisen kaltaista kissanukkea. En löytänyt millään ohjetta suomeksi mutta englanninkieliseen ohjeeseen pääset esimerkiksi tästä. Googletin Aminekoja ja niillä kuuluisi olla kirjaillut uneliaan näköiset silmät.
