One. a crocheted seat rest. (Initial plan) turned head rest (because i ran out of yarn). I saw this cute pillow from a japanese crochet magazine, and I swore i have to make one, but i have to find someone to sponsor the project since I cannot afford to spend much yarn and just own the stuff. I am really on a tight budget here, you know.

And so, dear cousin is always enthusiastic about my crocheting and he obliged. For a promising 1,000 pesos. I will make him a crocheted pillow. And of course, since i diverted from what we talked about. (Black Baguio Yarns to Variegated Blue Wool Yarn) and (Seat rest to Head rest), the price went a bit lower. (750 pesos, cost of yarn is big since yarns are bought from Dreams Glorietta and Indonesia)

He was supposed to give this as a present. But he liked it so much so he’d rather keep it for himself. (thug my heart <3)

You could use this pillow when you feel sleepy during office hours. Nice table decor too.

And these are violet purses he ordered from me too. Initial plan is 10 pieces. product turn out is 5. Lack of time.

crocheted coin purse

These coin purses are really meant to be given away. He can’t possibly force to own violet coin purses.

Violet Wrist Band with Buttons

NOTE: If you want to order a blouse of the same kind, kindly leave a comment below

Materials:

Materials Used for making crocheted wrist band

• 8 metal links
• 1 wire with loop at end
• buttons
• Chrochet Thread (texture is like the DMC Thread used for cross stitch).
• 2 metal bars
• 1.6 mm crochet hook
• needle (big)

I bought the metal links, bars, and wires at Quiapo. The metal bars costs around 20Php/pack (contains 10), the links and wires are around the same price.

The buttons I used came from stashed buttons given to me by a local wholesale store of threads and other tailoring needs. (I’ll post a blog later)

Choose Buttons with this kind of back:

Buttons used

The purpose of this is the button will serve as the lock of the band.

The yarn’s frm Rosario Pasig. It was given to me free by the manong. Because I bought two kilos of yarns from him.

All in all, the materials came cheap. It took me less than 30 minutes to create this accessory.

Instructions:

Make a knot

Tighten the knot

Make a knot around one metal bar. And tighten it.This will serve as your first sc.

Make 8 sc around the chain like this:

First row of single crochet

Turn around. Chain 3 (serve as 1 dc). 8 DC into each next sc.

Second row of 9 dc

Create 9 rows with 9 DC.

Cut the yarn with a scissor, We will have to sew the yarn into the second metal bar with a needle.

Sewing the other end

The crocheted wrist band

Attach 3 metal links on each side of the metal bars. Then connect the 3rd links from both sides with the loop of the our wire.

Putting the links and improvised hook

Form the wire into a hook.

Improvised Hook

Attach three links in each side on the other metal bar. COnnect the 3rd links with another metal link. Connect the fourth link and the button using another metal link.
