My Merry Messy Life: Crochet Seed Stitch Purse {free crochet pattern}
A free crochet pattern for an adorable purse for a little girl using the seed stitch. This is easy to make and is so cute! I’m hooked (pun intended :)) on crocheting purses lately. They are just so adorable and I love using bright, fun colors. So, I’ve worked really hard to create this pattern for you, and have lots of pictures to help out. I love the seed stitch, as it gives it a scalloped look. So, here goes! This is long and may look hard because of that, but it’s really not! Materials: Hook: G 4.25 mm (this is very important so the weave is tight and things won’t fall through the purse)Yarn: Worsted Weight (medium, 4). Abbreviations: CH = chainSC = single crochetDC = double crochetHDC = half double crochetFC = foundation chainSL ST = slip stitchRnd = roundFHDC = foundation half double crochetST = stitchSk = skipSp = space Pattern First, work a loose foundation chain of 20 HDC stitches. Turn your work over 180 degrees. Round 1 Round 2 Curve Round 3 – Begin the Seed Stitch Straps

craft blog : How To Make Granny Straps
These are the straps I designed for the secret hex bag. Below are charts, written instructions, and a video. Plus a bonus alternate two-row version. Yay! My suggestion is that you look at the chart, watch the video, and go for it. If you absolutely must, read the written directions, but they are super-wordy even though the straps are pretty simple to make. Granny Strap Written DirectionsRow 1: Make an odd number of foundation single crochet (fsc) stitches. Stop making that face ... it's easy! Row 2: Make two single crochet (sc) stitches in the top of the third fsc, chain 1, * skip 1 fsc, 2 sc in next fsc , chain 1 repeat from * until you get to the last fsc. Row 3: In the chain space to the left of the start of row 2, make 2 sc, chain 1, * skip 1 fsc, 2 sc in next fsc , chain 1 repeat from * until you get to the 2 chain corner.

Lacy V-stitch Ripple Afghan
This is a simple but elegant pattern for a throw. The sample is made in worsted weight, but it would work well with lighter weight yarns. This is a particularly good pattern for a boucle or homespun style yarn because after the first row, all stitches are made in chain spaces. (For a version where even the first row is made in chain spaces, go here.) Size: Sample is a 30 by 32 inch lap blanket in worsted weight acrylic yarn, but pattern can be easily adjusted to make a throw or full sized blanket. Materials: For lap blanket size, 400 grams/14 ounces/750 yards worsted weight yarn. Special stitches: V-stitch: in stitch or space indicated, 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc Shell: in stitch or space indicated, (1 dc, 1 ch) 3 times, 1 dc There is also a tutorial video. The beginning chain should be a multiple of 22 plus 17. Lap blanket size (30″) is started with chain of 149. Row 1: V-stitch in 5th chain from hook. Repeat rows 2 and 3. There is a chart available of the first two rows.
Crochet Pattern: Yoyo-Puff Wide Brim Hat For Girl
[** Latest update - July 11, 2011: I have edited the brim pattern of the yoyo-puff hat to a simplified version and added a few images to further explain the details. I hope with this new info, it helps to explain the pattern more clearly.] [Update- June 29, 2011: I know many of you are confused and had a hard time on the hat brim pattern section. I am in the process on modifying the pattern so that it is easier to understand. Please check back in a week or 2. I have done 2 halterneck tops (knitted and crochet) for my daughter and now I challenged myself to design and crochet this yo-yo puff wide brim summer hat. I would say that it is a perfect hat for spring and summer. You can also decorate the hat by pinning a brooch or corsage at the brim area. If you are an advance level crocheter, you can always modify the pattern and make a bigger version for adult, like adding another yo for the yo-yo puff and increase the stitches to the brim accordingly. {Get full details on next page.}

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. So what I've done here for you is to write my own pattern. To start out, you need to crochet your foundation chain. Once you are sure you've got the right number of chains to begin (count carefully as you make them!) yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over, bring hook back through stitch (3 loops on hook). Ok so far????
