Knitting | Entrelac Pattern When I first saw this pattern…. wow, this woven knit strips pattern is so beautiful!!! I definitely want to make this, but how? Thanks to the modern technology of internet, I searched through the web and found some videos that taught about it. I like Planet Purl’s video the most, not only that it is easy to understand, Beth Moriarty has every stitch covered and explained. There are 6 parts of video tutorial to complete the entrelac knitting pattern, go through each of them and you will be able to do the same. I am not a proclaimed professional in knitting, but I have the passion to create something out of the needles and yarns. So, you think it is a real woven knit strips? [update: I made this into an Entrelac Messenger Bag] SOURCE: Planet Purl youtube video tutorial. Get all updates via email: Highlights from Our Partners
Koala Bear Amigurumi I found a Koala Amigurumi Pattern in the Woman’s Day website and I have some off-white and gray organic cotton yarns on hand, so I made a pair of these small little stuffed koalas for my kids in reverse color. Some ideas to make it differently: 1. This adorable little koala is about 3-5″ tall only (depend on your yarn and the matching hook size), install a key ring on it’s head and turn it into a key chain, hang it to the bag’s zipper. 2. 4. Follow the crochet pattern at the above pattern link to crochet all the parts of the koala, which consist of: 1 head (stuff firmly and complete) 1 body 1 nose 2 ears 4 limbs Remember to leave a long yarn end (about 6-8″) for every part so that you will have enough yarn to sew. Find the appropriate positions for the ears, approx at the center of the vertical cross section of the head, middle of the height. Sew to attach the nose in the center between the 2 ears. Stuff the body firmly and sew it to the bottom of the head. Get all updates via email:

In the first part of this tutorial I’ll go over the basic crochet techniques you need to master. I know most people are visual learners, so I’m using a lot of videos (they may take some time to load). Step 1: How to hold your yarn (make a chain too) If you are a thrower (hold your yarn in your right hand), you’ll have to learn to hold your yarn on the left. Step 2: Single crochet, increasing and decreasing Most amigurumis are done in spirals of single crochets. In order to give shape to your creations you need to increase and decrease. And here is how to decrease: Another way to decrease is to skip a stitch, but I find that that leaves a gap. Setp 3: Single Crochet in Spirals to make a ball There are two ways in which you can crochet in the round. In the following video you can see how to make a circle, starting with a chain of 2.
