Welcome Morgan of King Soleil! Enjoy her free step-by-step tutorial for making an Upcycled Crochet Rug.
Thank you Morgan! Step-by-Step Upcycled Crochet Rug Tutorial There is something so completely satisfying when you are able to create a piece for your home that is functional, cozy, and perfectly your style. All the more rewarding when you are eco-friendly, making the world a greener place, and adding that handmade flair to your everyday. As the owner of King Soleil, I am always experimenting, altering, and creating, whether using crochet hooks, needle and thread, or embroidery floss. In this tutorial, you will learn how to take fabric and transform them into rugs using nothing more than a huge crochet hook and scissors. The only crochet skills you will need are how to make a skip knot (tying the fabric to your hook to begin), a chain (creating a ‘braid’), a slip stitch (pulling your hook through the stitch to join), and a single crochet (sc, the basic stitch in crochet).

Here's a view from the back of the button. When you've covered the center of the button with weaving, flip it over to the back and pass the needle under the back of the weave. Plarn.

Well, I thought since the produce bag was something I just made up real quick I should post the pattern.

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. Anyway I saved up the plastic bags and crocheted my first fat bottom bag. You may notice that the pink shade on the last few rounds of the bag and handles are darker. That was because the newspaper company changed the color of bags they were using. 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. Kytičky- crochet flowers - Anna Kolocov. Crochet Patterns - Free projects and DIY gift ideas from Craftbits.com.

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. The smaller the hook-the smaller the ric-rac, the bigger the hook, the bigger the ric-rac.I use 4ply mercerised cotton but its fun to experiment with different plies and yarns.My words describe the picture above them.The stitches I am using are chain (ch) and double crochet (dc).
If you are not familiar with these stitches just ask Mr Google, there are hundreds of great tutorials and videos out there to show you how. 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.

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. Doyle created and sold small fringed pieces of cloth to place under finger bowls, thus protecting the table from water marks. 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'd like to try a vintage crochet pattern, these ten doilies offer an interesting variety of stitches and design combinations. are usually available through Amazon.

We like the visual concept of the spiral scarf in Interweave's new book "Scarf Style" by Pam Allen.
But the concept of miles of short rows seemed daunting to say the least. Even when knitting backwards so taht the turning is minimized, it'd be a long project composed of very short bits. The obvious other direction to try is lenghwise, but we have real psychological problems with projects where every row gets longer, feeling like we're sinking into a pit of non-ending.
The obvious solution to all this was to try crochet, and only go at it for 3 rows. This little scarf gives just the right effect, and is light and warm too. It seems wider than it really is because of the way it falls, and it can also be worn as a sort of ruff. We're pleased to see that this was a good enough idea that it got the actual cover of Interweave Press' Fall 2005 crochet issue! Level of difficulty Beginner.
