Crocheted Cat Bed Easy to crochet cat bed Crocheted Cat Bed – Our new little kitten Milo is now 12 weeks old and growing bigger with every day that passes. He’s slowly started exploring the house but generally spends most of his time where his people are. Milo loves to hang out with me in my office and now he’s taken up a semi-permanent residency on my desk beside my monitor and keyboard. He loves to rest his head on my arm while I type away.

Complimentary Pattern: Textured Headband/Ear-warmer | The Cotton Gin Updated Photo 2 Updated Photo I’ve been working on a design for a headband. My version is all one piece and works up quite quick. It only uses three stitches, slip, sc and dc. Worsted Weight Yarn H – Hook Stitches used: chainless foundation slip stitch (fslst), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc) & double crochet (dc). Row 1: Leaving at least a 6″ tail, using the chainless foundation method, work 60 fslst. From this point, you will no longer join, but work in rounds. Round 2: sl st in the second stitch from the hook, Sl st into the next 16 stitches, working in the back loops only. Round 3: Sl st into the next 16 stitches, working in the back loops only. Repeat rounds 2 & 3 three times. Round 10, Sl st into the next 16 stitches, working in the back loops only. Detail of the slip stitches I prefer to do a blind finish using a yarn needle. Just to keep things neat and tidy, go back and use your beginning tail to repeat the invisible finish technique here as well. View from the back side.

Amigurumi: Guide To Reading Japanese Patterns Just thought I'd make a guide on reading Japanese amigurumi patterns to complement this awesome guide, which I've seen linked a couple of times, since it isn't amigurumi-specific and hence didn't include some of the stitches commonly used to make amis. I am of the (very biased!) view that Japanese amis are some of the awesomest things ever, so I think it would be wonderful if others could learn how to read these patterns too. :) Do keep in mind that while I've only been working from these patterns, I'm still kind of new to this, so for those who have experience with these patterns (and in Japanese), if I've missed out something or got something wrong somewhere, please feel free to correct me! *This guide uses US stitch-terminology. INTRODUCTIONJapanese ami patterns usually look like this: You may also see a stitch-counting guide at the side of the pattern, which shows how many stitches you should have in each row. That's pretty much it, I think.
Rectangular Diamond Trellis Basket Rectangular Diamond Trellis Basket – Free customisable crochet pattern with video stitch tutorial! More stash busting yarn storage! I know one of the reasons my customisable rope basket has been popular is because of it’s rectangular shape. So I thought I’d expand on my patterns using the diamond trellis stitch and make a rectangular version of this round one! This rectangular version is also customisable – just do an even number of rounds for the base and then move on to the sides. Mine is 34cm by 24cm by 18cm high. Scroll down for pdf patterns! Materials: I used 264g (450m) aran weight yarn and 158g (490m) dk yarn held together, with a size 5mm hook. You can use any combination of stash yarns held together to make a super chunky weight equivalent yarn. Cut two 40cm lengths of all the yarns you are holding together before your begin– this will be used to crochet the edging sl-st onto the handle area. You will find 4 stitch markers placed at the corners useful for this project. Method: Pattern:
Loving...crochet baskets - Thingsdeeloves I spotted these amazing neon crochet baskets a few weeks ago, and I new I just had to make my own. I decided to make a smaller and simpler version, using normal string and some colourful wool. I battled to find a simple crochet basket pattern to suit my limited stitch vocabulary, but I eventually managed to put together a pattern based on a few others. I think they turned out quite nicely. What you’ll need: string/twine (from any craft shop or hardware store)crochet hook (I used a 5mm)wool in contrasting colour (I used double knit, you just need to make sure that your wool and string have more or less the same thickness)scissorsbasic crochet skills (chain, slip stitch, single crochet, double crochet) Pattern: ch – chain sl st- slip stitch sc- single crochet dc- double crochet I hope that all makes sense!
