Felted Button - Colorful Crochet Patterns: Mama's Wash Cloths--Free Crochet Pattern My sweet mom loves when I make her wash cloths and dish cloths. Someone asked me why crocheted wash cloths are so great. And although I love the possible textures, and the ease of wash and functional use, I think the thing I like about them most is that they are HANDMADE!! (right, Fauna?) So I came up with this simple little textured cloth that works up without much brain energy but can be made in any colors or any size. Best part... ...I'm sharing the free pattern here. These were completed with some awesome color changes and without the border. The litttle wiggles of the stitch pattern are not so obvious in a single color but really "shine" when worked in a contrasting color. There are so many options with this one! If you haven't stayed in the "Button Loop" you can follow me around in my colorful crazy crocheting fun... | On the Board | -- God looks at us in all our smallness and says, "Yes, those things you do, those things you think are small--they matter.
Granny Square pattern, with pictures (scene one, take two) Edit #2 (late November 2006): I've noticed on several forums that a lot of people are using my rectangle granny square pattern. Seen the comment that people are worried about the long sides of the afghan narrowing while the corners on the short ends stick out. This is perfectly normal. EDIT: November 2006 -- I've found several of my pictures in other sites on the internet...I dont mind people giving out the LINK to my blog, but I do mind people lifting my pictures and claiming that the items in the pictures were personally made by them. I'll be gradually putting copyright info on my pictures, altho, it's probably a little late now... Here's hoping the power doesnt go all wonky on me again (and it could...there's a heck of a wind storm going on outside) I had posted the pattern for the Giant Rectangle granny square pattern a few months back, but never got the pictures posted. This is a crochet pattern that was taught to me by my late grandmother. Rectangular Granny Afghan Round 1:ch 48
Crochet :: Apache Tears FREE Pattern | SARAH LONDON Beautifully textured, captivating and fascinating! I’m referring to the strikingly mesmerizing Apache Tears crochet pattern. I’ve had quite a few enquiries in regards to this pattern, so today I thought I’d share my tips and technique with you. It’s not a complicated pattern so let’s get started! The following are the ‘basic’ rules when working this pattern: Each row is worked from the right side.Each row is worked from right to left.Ensure to leave a 6 inch tail of yarn when beginning and ending a row.To begin each row, form a slip knot on your hook and commence row.Work all dc in the back loop of stitches.Work all dtr in the front loop of stitch 3 rows below, whilst missing the dc behind on current row. The pattern may also be customized to your own preferences, producing a dense fabric! When it comes to customizing it all boils down to . . . the spacing . . . you can choose to customize your blanket by working 8 dc, 6 dc or 4 dc etc. Sample 1: Spacing of 8 dc With Red, ch 37. Fasten off.
Moroccan Tile Afghan The Moroccan Tile Afghan is warm, cozy, a fast V stitch pattern to crochet, and full of color! It’s the latest free crochet blanket pattern on Moogly – and I’ve included guidelines for 6 different sizes! The stitch pattern I used in the Moroccan Market Tote lodged itself in my brain. It was so much fun to make, I had to use it one more time – and figure out how to make it work in rows rather than rounds. I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice, which is a great afghan yarn with lots of saturated colors to choose from – love that! And now I can tell you for sure that it makes a very very warm blanket! The pattern here is written for a throw/afghan sized blanket, as that’s the size I’ve made. Love the Moroccan Tile Afghan but don’t crochet? Moroccan Tile AfghanAdd this pattern to your Ravelry Queue and Favorites Row 1: With Color A, ch 142, dc in 5th ch from the hook (counts as dc and skipped ch). Row 2. Row 3: With Color B row held in back, replace hook in active loop of Color A.

Original was done in wool and felted a little. Also the original was also mirrored from side.
