*NOW WITH PHOTO TUTORIAL* A great way to use up scrap yarn! Brooches! After working on different projects I always, as you all know and do too, have all of thiese little scrap pieces left over so the other day I thought about trying to make a brooch. So they ended up looking more like corsages though! LOL! Maybe I should have been a florist! So I started them out by crocheting a circle in green with cotton yarn to make it sturdy, then did the individual flowers and leaves and sewed them onto the round cotton base. I used cashmere and mohair yarn, but on the white one I was going more for texture than color so I also used angora and silk. Anyways, here they are: Now for the tutorial: I start with a round circle in green cotton (because cotton is very sturdy) Then I add fringe along the bottom with strands of mohair, I basically just use a yarn needle and tie it on in a knot. ...continuing with the fringe... I make some flowers in different colors and textures I like to make one flower bigger than the others to use as a focal point, the main color
10 Crochet Tips I Wish I Had Known From The Start This list is essentially everything I wish I knew when I started out. It is largely inspired by an email I received asking for tips and advice for beginners. 1. Right and wrong sides For an item worked flat in regular stitches it does not really matter. When crocheting in the round there is a right and wrong side, and it makes a difference. 2. You are going around in a spiral. 3. Color change when working flat: On the stich before the color change, yarn over in the new color. If you are switching two colors back and forth frequently, then you don’t have to cut the yarn every time. When you are ready to switch to the other color just drop that yarn back and pick up the other one. 4. To fix the strong jagged line when color changing in the round: On the stitch before the color change, yarn over the new color. 5. Again hold the tails against the top of the unworked stitches. 6. Amigurumi dolls are usually done with worsted weight yarn and between a 3.5 and 4.5 mm hook. 7. Pin first. 8. 9.

How To Change Colors In Crochet By Rachel Choi – 123 Comments If you are new to crochet, here are some tips on how to change colors in your crochet work. The basic idea is to simply let go of the yarn you are currently using and pick up the new yarn that you want to use. Sounds easy enough, right? Let’s explore some examples! This tutorial is for both right and left handed people. Changing Colors In a Chain Suppose you want to change the color in the middle of a chain. Changing Colors in Crochet Stitches Sometimes you may want to change colors after a certain crochet stitch. Yarn over (as you normally would) Pull the yarn through one loop on your hook (as you normally would) Now let go of the yarn and hold the new strand of yarn against your work. Yarn over with the new color of yarn. Pull the yarn though both loops on your hook. You can now use the new strand of yarn to continue your work. To change colors during different crochet stitches, the rule of thumb is to change the color during the last yarn over in the stitch.

Materials: Size G, 4.5 mm Crochet Hook 1 Skein each Red Heart Classic Acrylic Yarn in Red, Black, and Off-White (This really doesn't use a whole skein of yarn; if you have some good-size leftover balls they should be fine.) 1 Sheet White Craft Felt Off-White or Grey Embroidery Thread Batting Tacky Glue Handfull of Weights (I like to use the inexpensive glass pebbles found in the floral department at craft stores.) Abbreviations: rnd - Round ch - Chain sc - Single Crochet slst - Slip Stitch dec - Decrease Rnd 1: Beginning with the red yarn, start your first round with a magic loop, then crochet 6 sc into the loop, join to the first sc with a slst, and pull the loop tight.
