HOW TO SEW AND CROCHET SQUARES TOGETHER

In this video I will be showing you how to sew or crochet your granny squares together while making a quick headband at the same time.

HOW TO CROCHET A GRANNY SQUARE

dc = double crochet      *  *  rep what is in between the stars

sc = single crochet        st = stitch

ss = slip stitch               sp = space

ch = chain                      cnr = corner

The numbers on here correspond to the numbers on the video

1.  ch4, ss into the first ch you made

2.  ch3, 2dc in the ring, ch2, *3dc in the ring, ch2* x3 (so you have 4 sets of 3dc) ss into       top of ch3

3.  Either, ss over the next 2 st, and ss into the ch2 space or cut yarn and end that color off and restart in the ch2 space.

Ch 3, 2dc , ch2, 3dc all in the same ch2 space, *3dc, ch2, 3dc all in the next ch2 sp* x3 which will give you 4 corners. Ss into the ch3, and ss across to the ch2 space

corner = 3dc, ch2, 3dc in the same space

4. Ch3, 2dc, ch2, 3dc in same space, *ch1, 3dc in the next sp, ch1, corner in the next space* rep to end ending with ss into 3rd ch

5. Ch3, 2dc, ch2, 3dc in the same space, *ch1, 3dc in the next sp, ch1, 3dc in the next sp, ch1, cnr in the next space*,rep to end ending with ss into 3rd ch

6. You will repeat row 5 over and over increasing the amount of ch1, 3dc, ch1 for each round.

How to Crochet a Bracelet Cuff

Hi there, 

I made this bracelet cuff and love the look so decided to share it. It is not a beginners project. If you haven't done color work before you will be better off trying with a thicker yarn before you try this. But all in all it is fairly easy to do. Have fun. Remember that the numbers on the video correspond to the numbers on this pattern

BRACELET CUFF

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  St = stitch, 

Ch = chain,  * * =repeat work in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo – yarn over, ss = slip stitch

I used embroidery floss in the black and white. I used 2 black and 4 white. The color one I used 2 blue, 2 pink and 2 black.

I used a size 2.75mm crochet hook. To do the ch and the first row I used a 1.80mm hook.

PATTERN

The cuff measures 18in by 7in

1.  Start with a size 1.80mm hook and chain 55 and sc into the 2^nd ch from the hook, you should have 54 stitches. Do 1 row plain sc.

2.  Change to size 2.75mm hook and turn your work around

 I will be doing sc throughout the pattern, I will do sc in the very first sc.

Each row in the pattern below is repeated 3 times, to get your 3 flowers in. 

W= white,  B= black.  Example   5w, 4bl, 9w = single crochet 5 in white, single crochet 4 in black and single crochet 9 in white – repeat this 3 times.

3.  5w  4bl  9w – repeat 3x

4.  3w  3bl  2w  5bl  5w

5.  4w  5bl  2w  4bl  3w

6.  2w  11bl   5w

7. 5w  11bl  2w

8.  2w  6bl  3w  4bl  3w

9.  2w  5bl  1w  1bl  1w  5bl  3w

10.  5w  2bl  1w  2bl  1w  4bl  3w

11.  2w  4bl  1w  3bl  1w  3bl  4w

12.  3w  4bl  1w  2bl  1w  4bl  3w

13.  3w  4bl  3w  5bl  3w

14.  2w  10bl  6w

15.  5w  6bl  1w  3bl  3w

BORDER

16.  Do one row in plain white sc

17.  Start on the side part of your cuff and we are going to ss all the way around. Start with a ch1 and ss into about 15st as that was how many rows we did. Ss all the way around your cuff.

18.  If you need yours to be longer make a few extra rows of sc only on the ends and then do the border all around

19. Ch1,  Sc into each ss around. The corners may need an extra stitch which you can add if you need to keep your corner flat

20.  ch1, 15sc across the end (add to corner if need be). Along the long side you will* Ch3, sc into the 1^st ch (picot made), sc into the next st, sc into the next st,* repeat along the long side of cuff and then on the end part just do 15sc and repeat the long side of cuff with the picot’s as above.

Add your clasp on the end and you are done.

How to Crochet a Choker

 Hi, there,

This is a fairly easy choker to crochet. I hope you have fun making it.

CHOKER

Sc = single crochet,  ss= slip stitch,  dc = double crochet,  sp = space,  ch = chain,  rep = repeat,  beg = beginning, ** repeat in between stars

 

Any Embroidery Cotton

Hook, size 3.5

Pattern = 6 stitches, so multiples of 6 for your foundation ch

This choker is 13.5 inches in length, so I have 13 x 6 stitches (pattern) which gives me 78 ch plus 1 to turn = 79 stitches

1.   Ch 79 (78 plus 1), turn

2.   Sc in 2^nd ch from hook and in each ch = 78sc

For row 3 - On the video I said to ch1 turn and then ch3 (It was supposed to be ch1, turn and sc in 1^st sc, I left out the sc , it isn’t going to make a big difference they will both work so either way)

3.   Ch1, sc in 1^st sc, *ch3 skip 2sc, 3dc in next sc (3dc in same stitch), ch3, skip 2sc, sc in next sc* rep this till last 3dc, ch3 and sc1  in last sc

4.   *5ch, sc in 1^st dc (of the 3),

Ch3, ss in the 1^st ch of the 3 (picot made) x3 (make 3 picots one after each other)

Sc in the 3^rd dc (of the 3)*  repeat this till end and end with the sc, then ch2 and dc in the sc below

Sew a button on.

How to Crochet a Hair Scrunchy

HOW TO CROCHET A HAIR SCRUNCHY

Hi there,

I decided to try my hand at making a hair scrunchy and it turned it very well and I love wearing it.  I thought you might like to try it, so here is the video.  Have fun.  Here is the video on how to make it.

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  St = stitch, 

Ch = chain,  * * = work all in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo – yarn over, ss = slip stitch

Get yourself an elastic.  I used embroidery cotton and a 3.5mm crochet hook.

Make a slip knot and join to elastic with sc, make as many sc around the elastic as you need.  I made 50.  Make them fairly tight and close together.

1.    Ss in the 1^st st, *ch6, treble in the same st,ch6 and sc in the same st, skip next st and sc in next st* rep all around to last stitch and sc in the last stitch and change colors

2.    Start in any of the ch spaces with a sc, *ch3, sc in the next ch sp* repeat to end

Bye for now

HOW TO CROCHET EARRINGS

Hi there!

I decided to make some earrings as I had never made them before and they turned out really well.  I love wearing them and they look good, so I decided to share them with you and hope you feel the same way. So here is the link to my You Tube Channel and if you need any help feel free to ask me.  Have an awesome day!

EARRINGS

Made using Embroidery Thread and size 3.5mm hook

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  St = stitch, 

Ch = chain,  * * = work all in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo – yarn over, ss = slip stitch

1.    Make a magic circle (with a ch1)

2.     sc in the ring, ch3 (x5) so you have 5 petals, ss into the 1^st sc

3.    Change colors here (I have a separate video showing you how to change colors) - Sc in the same sc, ch2,* ( dc in the ch3 space, ch2 -  do this parenthesis  x4 so you have 4dc, don’t include the ch2), sc in the 3^rd ch of the 3ch sp and sc in the 1^st ch of the next 3ch sp, ch2*, repeat that in between the stars so you have 5 completed petals

4.    Sc in 3^rd ch of the 3ch sp, but don’t end off yet we need to add our silver piece that goes into the ear

5.    The sc that you made, stretch it out so that you can thread that stitch into the hole in the silver hoop.  Keep that stitch and put hook into the stitch and ch1 and sc into the bottom of the 1^st petal.
