Standards and Guidelines for Crochet and Knitting

Standards and Guidelines for Crochet and Knitting
The publishers, fiber, needle and hook manufacturers and yarn members of the Craft Yarn Council have worked together to set up a series of guidelines and symbols to bring uniformity to yarn, needle and hook labeling and to patterns, whether they appear in books, magazines, leaflets or on yarn labels. Our goal is to make it easier for industry manufacturers, publishers and designers to prepare consumer-friendly products and for consumers to select the right materials for a project and complete it successfully. Included are: We urge manufacturers, publishers and designers, to adopt these guidelines. We received valuable input from allied associations in the United States, such as The National NeedleArts Association, the Crochet Guild of America, and The Knitting Guild Association, as well as designers and consumers.

New Baby Crocheted Spring DressRhythm of the Home With so many baby girls being born to my friends in the upcoming months, I wanted to come up with a gift for all of their mothers to welcome their new additions. A pattern to celebrate baby girls. I designed this little going-home dress with spring in mind. Warm days that fade into chillier nights. It is lightweight, and airy, it would be perfect layered over a onesie and some leggings. The pattern as written and using the yarn described will fit anywhere between 0-3 months depending on the baby’s size.

Segundo Proyecto Tejiendo Juntas Inicio | Blog Acrochet Chicas, aqui iniciamos nuestro segundo proyecto del tejiendo juntas. Esta vez haremos una prenda de vestir para adulto en talla S. Usaremos hilo de algodón, en mi caso he usado colores muy afines. Coral, amarillo y anaranjado. Todo esto irá combinado con blanco, que hace un hermoso contraste. Necesitamos aproximadamente 20 gramos de cada color de contraste y 250 de blanco. También necesitaremos un crochet acorde a nuestro hilo. No olviden de usar una tijera con buen filo y una aguja para meter los hilos. Necesitaremos tejer 18 movitos iguales para toda la prenda. Comenzamos segun nuestro primer video. Como vemos en el video primero debemos trabajar 18 argollitas de un solo color. Paso seguido, debemos completar el trabajo con la siguiente argolla teniendo este resultado. Espero como siempre sus avances a gisella@acrochet.com para poder publicarselos. Tags: crochet patrones gratis tejiendo juntas paso a paso

TUTORIAL OF CROCHETED COIN PURSE Finally! I’ve fini­shed the tutorial for this purse~! As I warned earlier, it’s rather a tutorial showing how to make your own pattern than a pattern itself. STEP1. STEP2. STEP3. STEP 4. STEP 5. STEP 6. * Please do not post this tutorial anywhere else without permission. ★ 100 Free Crochet Patterns For Beginners | Learn How To Crochet | Fun Craft Tutorials & Projects ★ Knitting and crochet are actually very different even though they are often confused with each other. Both techniques create a series of loops using yarn in order to make a flat fabric, but knitting uses knitting needles, and crocheting uses hooks. Finished knitted products have a different look and feel to finished crochet products; knitting is mostly used for anything that needs to drape well or be soft and cuddly, for instance sweaters, cuddly toys and socks, whilst crochet creates sturdier, more durable and often thicker items than knitting and is good for placemats, rugs and throws. However it does come down to personal preference because all of these items can be made with either crochet or knitting – it just depends what effect you want. Other differences between the methods are that more detailed patterns and colorwork can be achieved with knitting, and knitting can also be done by machine whereas it’s impossible to crochet by machine. Have fun!
