Simple Snowflake

Worked up in only three rounds, you can make a ton of these snowflakes in no time! Make them in different colors to use as gift tags (bust those scraps!), create one with sparkle-y yarn for an ornament, or work up a bunch to create a garland. Personalize a tag or ornament with fabric paint, or coat them in glitter glue for decorations. With such a simple pattern, this snowflake leaves you extra time to add your own touch! The snowflakes I made in worsted measure 4" (5 cm) from point to point. Make them bigger or smaller by using different yarn weights and your manufacturer's recommended hook size. The chunky version shown measures 6" (12.5 cm). I started working on an awesome beaded version of this pattern using thread, but I ran into a problem... My seed beads were too small and wouldn't stay trapped in the stitches. Not to mention, they are so small that they were difficult to slide. The thread version would have measured a little less than an...

How to: Work into your Turning Chain - The easy way!

I taught myself to crochet with nothing but a few books. None of those books ever had a tip on how to work into your turning chain, also known as the last stitch in the row. Because it was a source of frustration for me, I shied away from projects worked in rows, and preferred to work in the round. Finding this elusive stitch is often difficult for many crocheters. I've heard stories from people who have crocheted for decades and still "hate working into the turning chain". How often have you heard or read that? It's been very difficult for me, because my tension is usually very tight. I've improved my skills over the years, loosened my tension a little, and decided to teach those who need to know the easiest way to find your turning chain. Get ready to make your crochet projects easier: Have no more fear of working into the turning chain! This works with any of the basic stitches, but I'll be working in single crochet. The fir...

Hooks with a History - Boye

I apologize in advance to those who were expecting a short post in consideration of the holiday season. Once I delved into the history of Boye, I knew I couldn't keep my promise. I should probably also apologize in advance for my repeated cheesy wordplay with the Boye company name. But Boye, I just can't help myself... Although I consider plain ol' aluminum Boye hooks to be everyday and quite uninteresting (no offense, Boye, I think that's just because I use them every day ), my new "vintage" Boye hooks seem to have more than originally meets the eye. Let's begin with some history of the company itself: First of all, Boye, they really got me! ( Ha, ha...That's two already. ) All this time, I thought they were just a knitting and crochet company! In fact, the Boye company began in 1906 with the introduction of a sewing caddy called the Rotary Case . That would be a clock-looking cabinet thingy that I don't even want to begin...

How to Sew a Toggle Button

Wait... WHAT??? Me, the sewing hater, is going to teach you something about it? Yup, that's right! Unfortunately, crocheting sometimes involves sewing , which is something I absolutely despise having to do. But, hey... We can hate it, or we can just get over it and do it so we have a finished project already; right? I find toggle buttons to be one of the easiest closures to use for garments, and I'd like to show you how I (the sewing hater) make it even easier. You'll need a yarn or sewing needle (one that fits through your button holes), a small length of yarn or thread (plus scissors to cut it), and your crochet project. But most importantly, toggle buttons are required... Which leads to a side note: WHOOP! The local Michaels heard my plea, and now has a larger assortment of buttons available. YAY - No more out-of-town trips just to get buttons! I'm also using stitch markers to mark where I will attach the button and closing loop, but w...

Free Pattern: Wisteria Bloom

The beginning of fall is here in the Northern Hemisphere, but for our friends south of the Equator , the weather will be warming. This flower is a great way to welcome spring, or brighten gloomy winter days to come, regardless of your location. If you're ready for a pattern that will give you a challenge, this Wisteria Bloom is a good place to start. Made with crochet thread but using simple stitches, the construction of this flower is where the difficulty lies. You won't need a stitch dictionary to complete it, but you will need to pay attention! A few tips and tricks are provided to give you some help. What would you use this flower for? I usually make a few suggestions, but I'm leaving the choice up to you this time! For now, I'm just hanging it on an ornament hook for display. When twisted, finished length is 6" (about 25 cm). Skill Level: Materials: Size 10 crochet thread -I'm using Aunt Lydia's Classic in Forest G...
