3D Valentine Heart: Free Crochet Pattern A few months ago I starched a doily, so it became a bowl. This technique has been slumbering in my mind and now I crocheted this free crochet pattern for a heart. I tried to shape it as a 3 dimensional ornament. In a hobby shop I found some styropor hearts, that were used as forms for the heart. Materials Yarn 1 skein Marks & Kattens, Bianca in red. 100% mercerised cotton 160m/50g 175 yards/1,76 ounces.

Craftybegonia Ideal Crochet Sphere (Mathematically!) 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. 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! My conclusion for this sphere method: it's really fun and it makes a pretty nice looking sphere, but the tried and true method is just waaay easier! Also, math is fun! The Patterns: 20 Row Sphere:

Suzies Stuff Kitchen Washcloths Bear had a great Aunt who made us a couple of handmade washcloths as a wedding present, and I have to confess, back then I could not understand why you’d go to that much trouble for a washcloth when paper towels are so cheap. Ten years later, I always smile to myself when I pull that washcloth out to wash the dishes with. Oh younger me, how silly you were to not appreciate the indestructible glories of a handknit. Those first washcloths have finally given up the ghost, so I thought it was time for a whole new batch of them. They are hands down the very very best things to use to wash dishes or wipe counters. I’ve made tons and tons of the fantastic washcloths from the gals at Mason-Dixon and they are really great, but I absolutely detest weaving in ends, and that one requires a lot of it. I also really prefer the process of crochet to the process of knitting. I used Lily Sugar ‘n Cream cotton. Chain 29 DC in third chain from hook and 26 times more to complete the row.

Ana Paula's Amigurumi How To: Make An Upcycled Crochet Rug — Upcycle Magazine Welcome Morgan of King Soleil! Enjoy her free step-by-step tutorial for making an Upcycled Crochet Rug. Thank you Morgan! Step-by-Step Upcycled Crochet Rug Tutorial There is something so completely satisfying when you are able to create a piece for your home that is functional, cozy, and perfectly your style. As the owner of King Soleil, I am always experimenting, altering, and creating, whether using crochet hooks, needle and thread, or embroidery floss. In this tutorial, you will learn how to take fabric and transform them into rugs using nothing more than a huge crochet hook and scissors. The only crochet skills you will need are how to make a skip knot (tying the fabric to your hook to begin), a chain (creating a ‘braid’), a slip stitch (pulling your hook through the stitch to join), and a single crochet (sc, the basic stitch in crochet). I sometimes receive questions regarding the fabric ‘yarn’ used to make the rugs. Tie all the strips together and roll into a crazy huge ball.
