Strong Crochet Strap; How to ・ClearlyHelena Share on Facebook39 shares on Facebook Share on StumbleUpon0 shares on StumbleUpon I made up a name for this very useful stitch. I call it “strap single crochet stitch” or “ssc stitch” or “strap sc stitch” – because I first made it up when trying to find a way to make a strong, sturdy, (almost) non-stretch, smooth edged strap. How to make strong crochet strap (strap-sc stitch) I have been making some crochet bags lately. And though I searched Mr Google thoroughly, I could not find what I wanted. Luckily I found a way to make the crochet strap I wanted. Sidenote: I am sorry I don’t have a how-to video on this. How To Crochet Strong Strap for Bags Actually it can be used for bags, belts, strapping, or anywhere you think you might need a strong strap. In this example, I am making a strap of 6 stitches. Foundation Row: 6ch Row 1: 1 ch (a standup chain to start new row; like you would normally do), and 6sc (single crochet) normally. Now is when it gets interesting … Row 2: Skip the first stitch.

Log Cabin Washcloths Knitting these washcloths has been the most crafting fun I've had in a long time. Making a log cabin pattern is easy, surprising and very meditative. You really get into the flow! I learned the technique from the always inspiring (and hilarious) ladies of Mason Dixon Knitting, Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne. They devote a whole chapter of their first book to the practice, writing so enthusiastically on the subject that knitting a log cabin something went straight to the top of my list. While the log cabin pattern has a certain architectural genius, the even more fascinating aspect of the project for me is the way a color morphs depending on its size and neighbor. All of this brought to mind the artist, colorist and influential teacher, Josef Albers, who spent his life exploring these ever evolving relationships. I used Rowan's machine washable Handknit Cotton to make these two sets of washcloths. The Materials 4 balls of Rowan's Handknit Cotton. The Pattern Gauge Finished Size The First Square

Linen Stitch Dishcloth By Dedri Uys I know this stitch as the Linen Stitch, but have also seen it called the Moss Stitch (although the Moss stitch as I know it is slightly different). You might know it by a different name, and if you do, please let me know. It is one of the simplest stitch patterns to master and yields a pretty, woven, dense fabric. The reason it is so simple is that you don’t even have to know how to work into the loops of the single crochet stitches, because you will be working into the ch-1 spaces between single crochet stitches instead. This stitch is excellent for working up a quick and easy chunky baby blanket and it is so much prettier than just regular old single crochet stitches. You can use any yarn/hook combination your heart desires. Using a single strand of light worsted weight (double knit) and a 1 cm crochet hook, for example, will yield a very “holey”, loose blanket (you can see this post about my Rainbow Blanket if you want to see what I’m talking about. This tutorial includes: Linen Stitch
Crochet Mesh Bag A year ago as I was browsing through the beautiful images of Craftgawker, I came across a gorgeous crocheted ombre bag by Maize Hutton HERE. She had made some modifications to a free “Knit-O-Matic” grocery bag by Haley Waxberg (free pattern can be found on Ravelry HERE) and I was super excited to make my very own when I was pregnant! It’s taken me a year to blog about it, but better late than never, right? I had A LOT of fun working on this bag pattern as it was unlike anything I had previously crocheted. Working in the chain spaces round by round went by very quickly, and keeping track of the beginning of each round was a must! This pattern called for DK/Light (3) cotton yarn, so I opted to use my favourite Patons Grace mercerized cotton (which is actually a Sport/Fine (2) yarn) in grey. I had read some Ravelry comments stating that the bag had turned out smaller than they had expected. …but it did start looking like a bag as I progressed further thankfully! Isn’t it a beautiful combo?
