Bee Necklace on Honeycomb hand embroidered by bstudio How to Crochet A Curlicue Crocheting culicues are one of the most simple and fun things I've made in a while...oh and they are addicting too!For this I'm using an H hook and some worsted weight yarn I had laying around (here's a hat pattern for you I made a while back with this yarn) To begin, make a chain as long as you would like your curlicue to be plus 3 chains (the one shown here is 20+3), Then make one dc in the 4th chain from the hook, In the same chain, make another dc... Now make 3 dc in each chain until you get to the end (here is how it looks about halfway through), See the curlicue starting to emerge? Love it!

Crochet: Old Fashioned Potholders If you're looking for a last-minute homemade holiday gift for someone who likes to cook, how about some potholders? I grew up with potholders like this - they'd been crocheted for years by various women in my mother's family. I think some of the potholders we used (and possibly some of the ones I still use) may have even been made by my great-grandmother. The older potholders are typically yellow and white or red and white, but once my sister and I started making them we naturally gravitated to all kinds of colors and even those garish variegated threads. I made the pair above for Bob two Christmases ago and they pretty much follow the pattern of their predecessors - a dark center with a good-sized white middle enclosed by a dark border. I think I learned to crochet by making these potholders. I'll apologize in advance about this pattern - I'm not well acquainted with crochet patterns, so this may not be very clear. Round 1 - work 10 single crochet (sc) in the loop and join.
