Ideal Crochet Sphere (Mathematically!) with pattern Whenever I have to crochet a sphere, I always pull out the tried and true method: increase by the same number of stitches each row for a little while, work the rows even for the middle bit, then decrease by the same number of stitches each row until you're finished. Once it's stuffed, this makes a decent sphere! Plus, it's a super easy pattern to remember. But it got me to thinking, how would I go about making an ideal sphere? After I got bored asking google, I threw a little bit of math at it. Turns out the the number of stitches in each row should scale with sin(theta), where theta is the polar angle. These are two spheres that I made this way: I included the pattern for the 2 spheres at the end of this post. I found it tricky to figure out how to squeeze a weird number of increases into a row where they in no way fit evenly, so let me know how these patterns work out for you if you try these! Also, math is fun! The Patterns: 20 Row Sphere: 26 Row Sphere:
Craft in Paris – Création d'objets poétiques Engelske hækleforkortelser… Den anden dag fik jeg en mail fra Ullemia i Bergen, der ville høre, om ikke jeg ville hjælpe hende med at finde ud af de engelske hækleopskrifter. Hun skrev: “En masse oppskrifter er på engelsk, og jeg er ikke helt fortrolig med forkortelsene som er brukt innen "chrochet". Norsk, dansk og svensk går fint, men engelsk altså... Har du et tips til meg om en slags ordliste for de forskjellige masketyper? Og jo, jeg har et link til Garnstudios ordliste over norske/engelske strikke- og hækleudtryk, som kan bruges. Selv, har jeg gennem flere år brugt en en lille lap papir med de forkortelser, som jeg bruger mest, når jeg “hækler på engelsk”. Her får du en en liste, som måske kan bruges af andre end mig selv: Jeg håber, den kan hjælpe… Jeg var egentlig begyndt, at oversætte videre til norsk, men det er vist for usikkert… Print evt. listen ud og tilføj dit eget sprog ude i siden… Rigtig god hækle-fornøjelse!
How To Amigurumi | Pattern | Tutorial I heard friends and readers asking me how to do amigurumi, including patterns, materials, tools & tips etc…. you will find all the answers in this post: How-To Amigurumi!!! Frankly speaking, just like all other crafts, to make a decent looking amigurumi is not easy but it is not hard as you thought too. You need skill, skill comes from knowledge and practice…. and to success in crafting, you need patience and the “never-give-up” attitude – do it again and again until you are satisfied with the result. Amigurumi (編みぐるみ?, lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. {CLICK HERE to get the introduction on How-To Amigurumi.} Pages: 1 2 Print / Download PDF
