New hat, cowl and bracelet:)

Finished some of my newest projects:

A crocheted hat with lotus flower:

crochet hat

A headband or convertible cowl:D

convertible infinity scarf or cowl

For the headband / neckwarmer / cowl pattern:

With a N crochet hook and 2 strands worst weight yarn ch 45 (for a larger cowl you can use a P crochet hook), join with sl st in the first ch (don’t twist chain!)

ch 1, 1 sc in each chain around. At the end of the round, twist your work and work 1 sc in each chain from the beginning ch 45.

Work continuous rounds with this ripple stitch:

And a crocheted spiral/rope bracelet:

red crocheted rope

 

Crochet earrings for Christmas

Nice lace crochet flower earring. I used a 1 mm steel crochet hook and cotton thread:D

s

Round 1: Chain 3, 11 dc in the first ch, join with sl st in the third ch from the beginning ch 3.

Round 2: ch 3, 2 dc tog in the same st (beginning cluster), ch 2, *3 dc tog (cluster of 3) in the next dc, ch 2*, repeat *_* 10 more times, join with sl st in the third ch from the beginning ch 3. (12 clusters)

Round 3: ch 4 (counts as 1 dc and ch 1), dc in the next ch 2, ch 1, *dc in the next cluster, ch 1, dc in the next ch 2 from the previous round, ch 1*; repeat *_* all around, join with sl st in the third ch from the beginning ch 3 (24 dc)

Round 4: *ch 4, sc in the next ch from the previous round*, repeat *_* all around, join with sl st in the first ch from the beginning ch 4.

Fasten off. Block with stiffener, if you want to, I am not a big fan.

Embellishment:

Choose 4 (or 2, if you use only for one side), flower shape crystals or glass beads, and 4 white seed beads. Sew one seed bead and one crystal on every side of your flowers, and add some findings. ( I used silver plated, but you can use whatever you want or have already) ,and voila! You have nice earrings for Christmas. Works as a nice gift too! Add that it is fast too! (Even you are a beginner, it won’ take you more than an hour.)

Maybe pinterest works better:)

I want a crochet cardi:) so I look what other do, more for the shape, then for a pattern but… I love what I found

 

bolero 1

 

 

 

This one is a free pattern here http://www.free-crochet.com/detail.html?code=FC01087&cat_id=337

Now let’s see if it works! It doesn’t

bolero 2

This one looks pretty and easy:)

This one is gorgeous and has a free pattern on link

And the next one I found on pinterest

motives cardi the link goes to pinterest from there you go on website

this is for sale I think, but it’s gorgeous

But something like this can be made;) this is just the idea.

We can use one of the next motives, lace or more solids:

I think this is most likely

And now I will finish my freeform/ irish something cardi:P and maybe some crochet/ bead bracelet and necklaces:))

Have a nice weekend!

Some tops, blouse short and long sleeves

this one is gorgeous, but really need some sleeves for winter;)

some irish crochet motives, or freeform, however you want (could be in cotton, or wool, or mix yarns as you like it)

finally a long sleeves blouse;)

I wish I can translate:) but looks pretty good

this one is my favorite 🙂

I mean these ones, or another sweater / pullover / cardigan

Enjoy it:)

Perfect gift for him:) Winter men modern scarf

A 2 m long winter scarf for him

better pictures on Sunday, now it’s 10 pm here, and artificial light… with black…

Anyway, the pattern is very easy, but it looks like a knitted scarf.

You will need a K/6.5 mm crochet hook and 200g of  yarn (a sport yarn, or a 2 strand of a soft yarn), I used Fine 2 for coats in 2 strands almost 4 skeins of Red Heart Margareta, easy to find for anyone and at a fair price at  my yarn shop)

Abbreviations: (US terms and UK in  the brackets [ ])

ch = chain

hdc = half double crochet [dc = double crochet]

dc = double crochet [tr = treble or triple crochet]

st = stitch; sts = stitches

Chain 250.

R1: ch 2, hdc in every ch [dc in every ch]  (250 sts)

Round 2 and all rounds: work in the loop behind the st (not in the front loop nor in the back loop; behind the back loop is a smaller one, work in that loop); chain 2, hdc in every st from the previous round [ch 2, dc in every st from the previous round]

Rounds 3-20 Repeat round 2.

At the  edges,  I made some shells, so I can add fringes:

1 sc [hdc] in the corner, *skip 2 rows, in the relief st work 3 dc [tr], ch 3, 3 dc [tr], skip the next 2 rounds, sc [hdc] in the next relief st*; repeat *_* as you need. In those ch 3 you can add fringes, if you want to.

Tip: try another color! Black works like hell, especially in the evening!

Too lazy to do something… rainy day:(

so I admire what other do, or just looking for inspiration. Let,s see what I found

cute motives for earrings or Christmas decoration

nice colors

how to transform a table cloth (or a table cloth motif) in a cute bolero

it’s a flower motif, for a table cloth or doily or whatever (curtains? bolero?)

this is for the winter:))

and a doily star:) in white red and green it will look great under the tree:P

A new raid on Internet looking for something cute to make this weekend

Let’s see what I found :

First some beaded earrings or pendant, looks good for me, I will give a try later.

Next,  is a very nice shawl, lace crochet with fans, my favorites.

And the last one for now should be a tatting something I guess, but I prefer this:

with a chart which says it belongs to someone from Russia, but I found it on a brazilian image host site…

And other cute things, with charts or only for inspiration

The dress and the sunflower blanket, vintage or not, are absolutely gorgeous!

Now choose your project and have fun!
