This is my latest completed crochet project. The blanket is made with baby pastel colored yarn that has just a little sparkle to it. A bright pink yarn was used for the border. Also made a matching hat and booties. So cute for a little girl! I have one available at our Store, so why not head over there and check it out.

Not long ago, I made some crazy crayons and gave them to someone for their little girls. One lady who saw them has expressed interest in them, so I told her I'd make her some for her little boy. There was some yellow yarn left over, so thought it might be fun to make a carrying case to go with them. Hopefully it looks OK for a little boy. It surely was enjoyable to make. The ribbed effect is produced by alternating front post half double crochet with back post half double crochet. This makes the bag feel softer and thicker and gives it a nice texture. There was still yellow yarn left, so I made an even smaller bag with it. The smaller bag would be good for a party favor bag and has a gold ribbon on it. (Sorry no picture) Both were easy and short projects. The party favor bag is not ribbed but was made by alternating single crochet with half double crochet to give it a pretty texture. Was able to finish another t-shirt dress yesterday. This one is also embellished with a crocheted ruffle on the bottom and crocheted belt and belt loops. The flowers at the top are also crocheted and a button is added to the center of each as little decorative touch. These are lots of fun to make! You should try one some time. Below you will see pictures of one of the craft projects I enjoy making. This t-shirt dress is embellished with crocheted flowers and a crocheted ruffle on the bottom. The belt loops and belt were also crocheted. To go with it, I made a crocheted headband using the "small wheel" design. I like to call it a pinwheel design. I made up the design for the t-shirt but watched a video to learn how to make the headband. You can check out this youtube video if you want to learn how to make one of these headbands yourself. Both of these projects were a lot of fun. For these stars I used variegated red-white-blue yarn. The weight of yarn and size of crochet hook are not important for this project. If you want bigger stars, use a thicker yarn and bigger crochet hook. If you want smaller stars, use a thinner yarn and a smaller crochet hook. Round 1: Chain 4 and slip stitch into first chain to form ring Round 2: Chain 3; double crochet 9 times into center of ring; slip stitch into top of chain 3 Round 3: chain 1 and, in same stitch sc, half dc, dc, half dc, sc, slip stitch; chain 2; skip one stitch; in next stitch sc, half dc, dc, half dc, sc, slip stitch. Repeat until you have 5 points. After making the 5th point of your star, slip stitch in the space below your first point. Pull yarn through, cut off and weave in ends. For a little more fun, attach a magnet to the back of each star to make it into a “fridgie.” Wal-Mart carries small round magnets with a foam adhesive on the back – 18 pack for about 97 cents in the craft section. |
