Pretty Little Petals [Free Pattern] Strictly speaking, this post was intended to be the "Part Two" section of the Granny Oblong saga. Except that I went on a frogging spree, and now the whole thing is sitting in the "in progress" box (which has a lid, so I don't have to look at them for a while! :P) But since you were promised a pattern, and since this is called "eggbirddesigns" not "eggbirdthefrog", a pattern ye shall receive!! Pretty Little Petals ETA: You can now link to this pattern on ravelry here Notes sp - space sl st - slip stitch sc - single crochet dc - double crochet ch - chain The pattern is written in American terms, however if you prefer UK terms there is a fab 'translator' here. To Begin: create a magic loop (if you're unsure how to do this, click here). Round 1: Ch1, 2sc into each space around. Round 2: Ch1, *2sc in next sp, 1sc in next sp* - repeat between * 6 times [18 sts total] Round 3: Change colour. Round 4: Ch3 (counts as first dc), 5dc in the same space. To finish, just sew in your ends, and hurrah!

Basic Ripple Afghan Crochet Instructions Chain a multiple of five stitches plus seven. Make sure the chain is roughly as long as you want the afghan to be wide. The ripple of the design will make the finished piece slightly shorter than your starting chain. With a size G hook, you will get about one inch of length for every four or five stitches. Turn the piece when you have finished the chain. Double crochet in each of the next three chains, for a total of four double crochet. Make three double crochets in the next chain. Double crochet in each of the next four chains. Repeat step five across the entire length of the chain. Turn the piece. Make three double crochet stitches in the next stitch. Double crochet in each of the next four stitches, and skip two stitches. Repeat step nine across the length of the piece.

Teeny Tiny Flowers This is a very simple little crochet pattern for small five-petalled flowers and leaves.I love making crochet flowers. I love the decorative nature of them, that they can be used to embellish all sorts of crochet, knit or fabric garments and objects. They can be used to decorate a bag, a hat, a cushion, a coat. In rows, in little posies, or randomly scattered. First a word about yarn thickness and hook size.Below are three flowers made using the exact same pattern, but with different yarns and hooks.On the left, Rowan DK handknit cotton, on the recommended 4mm hook.In the middle, the same Rowan cotton, but on a 3.5mm hook.On the right, Rowan DK wool on a 3.5mm hook. I prefer to use a slightly smaller hook size than usual so that the flowers come out tighter/smaller (as in the middle flower). The pattern is written in UK terms, the stitches as follows :: sl st :: insert hook, yarn over, pull the loop back through the stitch, then through the loop on your hook. For US peeps: UK dc = US sc
