The Lazy Hobbyhopper: How to crochet granny ripple

The Lazy Hobbyhopper: How to crochet granny ripple
I am sure many of you who can crochet fairly well may not know how to crochet a granny ripple. While I was crocheting my vibrant pillow 3 I thought I would make a tutorial on granny ripple but for some reason I couldn't do it then. Here it is now. Once you get started and go in the right direction granny ripples are fun to make, but getting started is what irks me a lot. The major problem here is deciding upon the number of chains to start with. Since you are not going to work in a straight pattern the length of the chains that you make at the beginning have to be somewhere around one and half times the length of the finished pattern. So to start with, make chains of length that you desire. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Since some of you are having doubts about ending and starting a row I have included these additional instructions and photos to elaborate on them. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. The below picture shows the end of row 4. And end of row 5. PS: This is a not a cushion cover.

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. Finishing: Weave in yarn ends. Here is a two-row version I used on the phone cozy I made. Row 1: Make an odd number of foundation single crochet (fsc) stitches.

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.}

Cake Sachets by Norma Lynn Hood For example, varying the top of the cake corresponds with the width and the side of the cake, the height. To fill a cake, start with a tulle circle or mesh. Place potpourri in the center, secure the net fabric with a rubber band, and stuff it in the cake - voilà, a cake sachet! All of my work is constructed from tight stitches and even tension. I only use the extolled Cotton Classic in DK weight by Tahki Stacy Charles (sometimes organic cotton from a different brand) accompanied with a D/3.0 mm needle size.
