What I have Crocheted Plus A Baby Bib Pattern

I have not been doing very much crocheying lately but at Christmas 2014 I made some hats here they are:

Police Box from Snappy Tots Ravelry Store

Star Wars Beanie pattern from Jen Spears on ravelry.com

My grand kids loved them. Then I made 3 hats for a Christmas basket

I also made coffee cozies for the Kids and used a download pattern for the cups template at frogging along.com/2014/11/12/super-simple-cup-cozy-and-template

In Feb our granddaughter was born and I made her this hat and blanket my patterns. Will share the patterns later.

Last I made a baby set for a friends baby boy whose daddy likes the Green Lantern

I used  the pattern from WWW.whistleandivy.com for the baby boat booties with some change. I used World's Best Diaper Cover pattern from Boomer Beanies on ravelry.com

The bib is my own pattern and I am adding this pattern here.

As always there maybe mistakes but I try not to have too many. This is my pattern feel free to make but do not claim as your pattern. If you make this send me a picture.

Scarfs are one of my favorite things to make and for TBT I have re- posted one of my favorite patterns

Simple Blue Scarf

My Granddaughter turned 18 this month and so I decided to crochet her a scarf. She loves the scarfs I make her from the fun fur to the warm ones and all in between. This one is for warmth with hopefully enough fashion to be worn with anything.

 

 

This is a simple pattern but looks elegant.

 

Materials

Caron's Simply Soft yarn in your choice of color ( I used ocean though here it looks really blue)

size J hook

 

Instructions

 

Row 1 ch 250

Row 2 hdc in 2nd ch from hook and ea ch across

Row 3- 4 ch 2 turn, hdc in first hdc and ea hdc across

Row 5 ch 2 turn, hdc in first hdc, ch 1, sk next hdc, hdc in next hdc, *ch 1 sk next hdc, hdc in next hdc repeat in pattern from * to end

Row 6 ch 2 turn, hdc in ea hdc and ch 1 space across

Row 7 ch 2 turn hdc in ea hdc across

Row 8-9 repeat row 7

Repeat rows 5-9 two times more then fasten off and weave in ends.

I made this scarf long so that she can wear it in many different ways.

This would also be easy to make into a cowl by sewing the ends together when finished.

It was simple, easy and fast and I plan on making more for presents. This would also be an easy pattern to make several for gifts to shelters.

I wrote these instructions down after I made this so I am hoping the instructions are accurate.

This is my own pattern and feel free to use but please give me credit

Thanks and happy crocheting

 

Throw Back Thursday My Grandma's Hot Pad Pattern

Hope you will give it a try. If you do leave a comment and a picture of what you make. If you have any questions leave them in the comment section and I will try to answer them.

Crocheted Hot Pad Pattern

This pattern is my own. My grandmother taught me how to do this by using a washcloth and folding it then crocheting around but I changed to make the cloth too because it is a thicker hot pad then. Hope it isn’t confusing they way I explain it.


With 100% cotton and a G hook
Row 1 with cotton and G hook ch 47. hdc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across. Turn
Row 2 ch1 hdc in each hdc across turn
Row 3 – 40 repeat row 2 At end of last row fasten off
You may have more or fewer rows depending on how tight you crochet. What you want is a rectangle

Now comes the folding. Take the cloth just made and fold in half. Pin to help hold in place to keep it from slipping when you start to crochet the border.
Starting at the top left corner
attach 100% cotton ch 3 do 2 dc in same space ch 2 skip one space dc in next sp ch 2 skip one space 3dc in next space ch 2 skip a space and in next space dc. Continue around in this pattern.
Go down the left side across the bottom and up the right side


Shown in this picture

Now take and fold to meet the top left corner to the meet with top right corner in the middle pictured below.


Pin to hold and then slip stitch right corner to left.
Now pin the sides and they will be squares on each side like the picture below


This will be square on both sides when you pin them.
Ch 2 and continue pattern where you left off across one side and top opening, down the side and across the bottom up the other side and across the top opening. Now all sides should be worked and you are back to the top. Slip stitch to the stitch on the other side across from last stitch made. Ch 10 sl st to form a ring and this is your hanger.

If you have any questions or would rather buy one from me contact me at lhxpmdj@aol.com

Pretty in Pink Afghan

I have found when you need an afghan in a hurry that this pattern is the easiest that still has some flare to it. My daughter needed a baby afghan for a co worker and I needed to get it done fast so since she was having a girl I did it in two colors of pink. This pattern works for hot pads and dishcloths and washcloths as well as scarfs. Anything you want to be done fast and look good too.

Material:
1 skein red heart pink
1 skein baby rose pink
K hook

Instructions:
ch 131
Row 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in next ch, trc in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch repeat in this pattern across ending with trc in last ch. ch1 turn
Row 2 sc in top of trc, hdc in top of dc, dc in top of hdc, trc in top of sc, dc in top of hdc, hdc in top of dc, sc in top of trc. repeat across.
Row 3-66 repeat row 1-2 at end of row 66 finish off. weave in end

On my baby afghan I started with the lighter baby rose pink for first 9 rows then switched to pink and then did the baby rose pink for last 9 rows.

Crochet Girls Earflap Hat

This is the hat pattern for girls I came up with to give to the 4 th grade girls in my daughters students and the school as well as the Indian Reservation. It is easy and quick and that made easy for me to do many fast so that they would have something for their heads when it got really cold this winter. Many at the school didn't have hats so this along with the stocking caps for boys is what was made.

Materials:
4 ply worsted weight yarn
J hook

Ch 3 join to form a ring
Rnd 1 Ch 2 (counts as 1st hdc now and through out) 9 hdc in ring (10hdc) join in top of Ch 2 with a ss
