Three Way Crocheted Bandeau – Free Pattern

As promised, I have finally written the pattern for my Three-way crocheted bandeau (Though it’s three way, I mostly use this as headband :D)

You can use this as (1) neck scarf (2) Headband (3) belt

Notes on the yarn used:

I used a woolen yarn (90% lambswool) that felts (I did not felt it but it felts overtime when you laundry it) So the resulting texture is very soft.

I am destashing some yarns here:

You can use any kind of yarn you want But the texture and output would really be different.

Calla Lily – Crocheted Earrings

I love the book 100 Flowers to knit and crochet by Lesley Stanfield. My only problem with this is almost all the lovely flowers I would love to crochet is given as “knit instructions”.

100 Flowers to knit and crochet by Lesley Stanfield

But fortunately, I have taken the instructions given in the book as guide to hacking my crochet instructions of the calla lily. If you are a knitter, proceed to following the instructions given in this page. If you are a crocheter like me, I have a decent hack of the said pattern:

100 Flowers to knit and crochet – arum lily

Note that I do not claim to have an exact translation of the knit-crochet pattern. Also I am not very good in writing instructions.

This is my crochet version of the motif:

The trick is use embroidery threads instead of yarn, 0.70mm hook and White Glue to make the earrings stiff after crocheting

Tools for creating tiny earrings

You will need three colors of thread: Yarn A (white), Yarn B (green), Yarn C (yellow)

Use Yarn C:

The spathe is crocheted using 6 strands of thread.

Free Pattern: Felted Baby Slippers with Textured Sole

[Learn Ginantsilyo by Project]

What the project is about: This is my attempt to felt the lambwool yarns I bought from China.

One of the skills I am attempting to learn as a crocheter is to felt wool. In this project, I tried to create slippers with felted sole for added comfort to the wearer.

I was playing with my fiance’s niece when I saw one of her slippers lying around. I picked it up and got inspired to make a pair of slippers. It’s what I do usually. Be inspired then crochet.

This pair of slippers is made with felted wool, for additional touch of softness and comfort. Plus ankle-wrap straps to secure the slippers on for extra flirty style. I also made the bottom sole textured for rough – look.

The project – Felted Baby Slippers with Textured Sole:

About the yarns and the hook:

Brown Yarn – this was bought in Indonesia at http://craftandme.com under their Soft Cotton Category.

Red Yarn – this was bought in China at http://tradekey.com. I negotiated with one of the suppliers there and got a huge lot of lambswool from them.

Free Pattern: Square to shrug

[Learn Ginantsilyo By Project]

What the project is about: crocheting a square fabric then transforming the square into a shrug

One of the skills I learned as a crocheter is creating simple lace patterns. More often than not, when doing this, you want to see the effect of the lace so you crochet bigger, if you are like me who often experiment on creating laces and doesn’t know what project to make the swatch for, then let me share how i transformed a square into a shrug.

About the yarn:

I bought the yarn from http://craftandme.com, my favorite overseas yarn supplier. I used the violet soft cotton from the picture below. What I like about the yarns bought from this store is that they are really very soft and the cotton is untreated hence, you do not get the stiff feeling of the familiar mercerized cotton yarn brands we usually have here in the Philippines. I only used one big ball of yarn since that’s only what I have from my stash.

Soft Cotton from www.craftandme.com
colors violet and fuschia

Yarn and hook: soft cotton of bulk weight using 4.0mm crochet hook (US Size).

The pattern consists of the usual combination stitches:

4dc open shell with 1 ch
3dc closed shell
crossed Fpdc (Front Post Double crochet) with 1 ch
3 dc cluster.

These stitches will be described more in the section: Special Stitches.

Materials:

4.0mm hook
Soft Cotton Thread Bulk Weight approximately 100g

Violet Yarn Bulky Soft Cotton

Gauge:
5 chain is approximately 1 in.

Special Stitches:

4dc open shell with 1 ch (4DC Open Shell) – Make 2dc on next st, ch 1 2dc on same st.

3dc closed shell – Make 3dc on next st.

Front Post Dc – YO, then put the hook from front to back, between the stitches, around behind
the DC and out before the next stitch then complete the DC as normal.

3dc cluster: (Yo, insert hook in next st, yo draw yarn through st, yo, draw yarn through two
loops on hook) 3 times. yo, draw yarns through 4 loops on hook.

Crossed FPDC (2 crossed FPDC with 1 ch in between): This stitch is worked over an area of three stitches. To begin, skip two stitches, Make FPDc on third stitch. Ch 1, Make FPDc on
the first st that was skipped.

[Hacking Ginantsilyo]

Project Description

It wasn’t an original design. In fact if you visit the stalls in mines view and wright park, you would see a lot of these in their shelves. What inspired me to make one too was it was when I obtained my first batch of baguio yarns and the lady who pointed me the place to buy them was making on these particular top. I bought one from one of the seller and tried to hack the stitches used for the blouse.
