I was working out the design for my recent crochet wrist warmers pattern, playing with different methods and whatnot, when this idea popped up. A very simple crochet bracelet. It’s basically front post and back post stitches, which ended up being too bulky for the mitts, but still had something I liked.
It is such an easy crochet pattern; it only takes fifteen/twenty minutes from start to finish. Who doesn’t love super speedy crochet ideas!?
If you’ve not tried crochet post stitches before, this crochet bracelet is a great pattern for practising. These stitches are so easy. They’re the same as normal US double / Uk treble stitches; it’s just where you put your hook that counts. There are countless YouTube videos out there that demonstrate beautifully. I use the technique in some chunky crochet mittens, here.
I’m not sure if this is a crochet cuff, bracelet or other thing, but whatever it is, (seeing as it’s Christmas) here’s a lovely little free crochet pattern for them!
A Quick and Easy Crochet Bracelet
Pattern Notes:
I’ve used Paintbox Aran with a 4.5mm hook.
I’ve used UK terms with US terms in brackets.
In Row 2, I work under the bumps of the foundation chain. This makes a neater finish, but it does mean it looks twisty when you come to slip stitch together. Ignore the twist and join anyway; it won’t be noticed in the final piece. Just double-check that you’ve not got a twist in the stitches you’re going to work into next.
Crochet over the ends as you go to allow for minimal stitching at the end.
I have wrists like twigs; you may need to go up to 26 or 28 stitches
Crochet Bracelet Pattern
Chain 24, join with a slip stitch. Round 1: Ch1 (does not count as a st), dc (US sc) in each st around, join with a slip stitch to the first st. Fasten off. [24 sts] Rnd 2: Attach new colour to any stitch. Ch3 (counts as a st), 1tr (US dc) in each st around, join to the top of the initial ch3. [24] Rnds 3 – 5: Ch2 (does not count as a st), *FPtr, BPtr; repeat from* to the end, sl st to the top of the first st. Fasten off after Rnd 5. [24] Rnd 6: Attach new colour to any st. Ch1 (does not count as a st), 1dc (US sc) in each st around. Join with a slip stitch to the first st. Fasten off and sew in any ends. [24]
And there you have it. Easy peasy! The quickest crochet bracelet to make! Now go and crochet loads of cuffs, bracelets, sweat bands, whatever they are!
Happy Christmas! See you in the New Year. 2017 is going to be amazing!! X
I’ve crocheted another Granny Triangle Shawl. I couldn’t help myself. When I saw Drops yarn on sale the weekend before last, I had to buy some. It was for research purposes; I wanted to try out my granny triangle shawl pattern again.
My original crochet pattern is woolly and wintery. This time, I wanted something with more of a drape. I chose Drops Baby Merino this time (it’s 4 ply) and added a chain between each cluster to create the looser fabric. I’d not used this yarn before and I’m already using it again (another shawl pattern)! I like it, it’s good.
Summer Granny Crochet
I thought the colours in this granny triangle shawl were a bit more summery, and the drapey 4 ply would make it less stifling for the season. I’m really quite pleased. I used a 3.25mm hook with this weight of yarn.
Lazy Shawl Blocking
I was very well behaved because I actually managed to block my shawl. It’s an easy method of blocking, but blocking nevertheless. I pinned it out directly onto the carpet (whilst I was watching the telly) and sprayed it with water. Just enough to lightly dampen it. I left it for a few hours to dry naturally. But to make sure it was dry, I also got the hair dryer on it.
I wouldn’t ever advocate this method because somewhere along the line, I will no doubt end up ruining one of my precious crochet makes. I can see myself ruining the carpet, too. Yes, I know this is foolish.
Scallop Shawl Edging
I love the simple scallop edging for this triangle granny shawl. It’s not hard to do. I changed the colour sequence for this version of the shawl as I didn’t want to buy loads of different colours just to do a couple of rows of each. It still is essentially the same thing as the original. This time, I used 4 balls of green and one each of the other two shades. Each ball is 50 grams.
Even though it was something I made up, I forgot how to do the edging, so I dutifully followed my own crochet pattern. It worked too (but I shouldn’t let on that I was surprised, of course it worked!). I should confess that I did have to bodge the corner/point.
By adding a chain between each granny stitch cluster on the main body of the shawl (to get the nice drape I spoke of), the stitch multiple changed. It changed the stitch count from multiples of three to multiples of four.
Silly me! I had a skip a stitch here and there whilst making the scallops, so that the middle cluster actually ended up in the middle. It’s not noticeable, but something I should have planned for. At least crochet is very forgiving when you fudge a few stitches!
The blocking definitely added to the drapey quality. It has also made the wool feel softer.
I took many, many pictures, but sadly, none of me wearing it this time. Shame. I got distracted by the cat. And then I started taking photos of other things around the room.
Plants aside, I’ve got some pictures of the cat…
Whenever something woolly comes out, she decides it’s somewhere she wants to be. Good old Marceline (not that old, she’s only turning one sometime toward the end of the month).
EDIT:: Hold your horses!! Before you read on, you might like me to direct you to the updated version, which is a far more straight forward pattern with pretty much the same results. GO HERE for the new written pattern. And go HERE to YouTube for the video tutorial. Ta! x
The first anniversary of my blogging ways today. That went quickly! Yay me! I’ve enjoyed all of it so far. I’ve learned so much and (conversely) haven’t learned anything at all! I wasn’t sure what it would be like, and I have been pleasantly surprised. I wonder what the following year will bring!?
In celebration of this momentous occasion (and it totally is momentous), I’m sharing a crochet pattern of mine.
I’ve made a couple of mesh bags before, but they required more than just one ball of yarn. I didn’t want loads of balls/skeins rolling about everywhere, and I didn’t want to spend loads of money. Crochet can be an expensive hobby!
There are some photos below that show the bag’s strap stage, and there is also a delightful diagram to help show how the rounds are joined. I found it tricky to word the pattern for those bits!
A Crochet Market Bag
It’s a deceptively good-sized bag. When I was making it, I was unsure there’d be much point in it, but you can actually fit loads in this mesh bag. It has a good amount of stretch.
The yarn I used is Rico Essentials cotton dk in Emerald. I used a 3mm hook.
At the end, I had approximately one metre of yarn left. Your tension will probably be different to mine, and if you’re worried about running out of cotton, you could skip a round or make the strap shorter. The yarn is lovely to use, and I want more!!
Crochet Mesh Bag Pattern
3mm crochet hook
Rico Essentials Cotton dk in Emerald
The pattern is written in UK terms.
Start with a magic ring (or ch4 and join with a slip stitch). Round 1: Ch3, 11tr into ring, join to third ch of initial 3ch with a slip st. Pull the magic ring tight to secure. [12st] Round 2: Ch3, 1tr into first st, 2tr in each st around, join to third ch of initial 3ch with a slip st. [24st] Round 3: Ch3, *2tr in next st, 1tr in next; rep from * around, ending with 2tr in last st. [36st]
Round 4: Ch1, 1dc in same st, *ch3, skip 1 stitch, 1dc in next; rep from * around until the second to last st, ch1, 1htr into beginning dc. Have a look at the diagram to see how to join rounds at the end. Bear in mind that it’s just a partial section of the round, showing the important bit. Placing a stitch marker on the last stitch of each round from here will help. [18 ch sp].
Round 5: *Ch4, 1dc in next ch sp; rep from * around until second to last ch sp, ch2, 1htr into the top of the last st of the previous round (ie into the top of the htr of previous round).
Round 6: *Ch5, 1dc in next ch sp; rep from * around until second to last ch sp, ch2,1tr into the top of the last st of the previous round.
Round 7: *Ch6, 1dc in next ch sp; rep from * around until second to last ch sp, ch3, 1tr into the top of the last st of the previous round.
Rounds 8 & 9: *Ch7, 1dc in next ch sp; rep from * around until second to last ch sp, ch3, 1dtr into the top of the last st of the previous round.
Round 10: Three increases will be made at even intervals in this round. *Ch7, 1dc in next ch sp, ch4, 1 dc in same ch sp, (ch7, 1dc in next ch sp) x 5. Repeat from * two more times, finishing before the last ch7. Instead, Ch3, 1dtr into the top of the last st of the previous round. [21ch sp]
Rounds 11 & 12: *Ch7, 1dc in next ch sp; rep from * around until second to last ch sp, ch3, 1dtr into the top of the last st of the previous round.
Rounds 13 & 20: *Ch8, 1dc in next ch sp; rep from * around until second to last ch sp, ch4, 1dtr into the top of the last st of the previous round.
Round 21: As Round 7.
Round 22: As Round 6.
Round 23: Ch1, 1dc in same stitch, 4dc in each ch sp, 1dc in top of each dc of previous round, sl st to join to first st.
Rounds 24 & 25: Ch1, 1 dc in same space, dc around, sl st to join to first st. Do not cut yarn.
The Crochet Bag Strap
Continuing from Round 25, Row 1: Ch1, 1dc in same space, 1dc in next 7 sts, turn. [8]
Row 2: Ch1, 8dc, turn. [8] Repeat Row 2 until the desired strap length or when nearing the end of the yarn. My strap measures approx 18″.
Turn your bag inside out. To attach the handle to the other side of the bag, first count how many stitches are around the top of the bag. I had 100 stitches. The strap needs to be in the middle. I counted 42 stitches along the right side of my handle (42 + 8 = 50. That’s half of the stitches around the top of the bag). The next stitch (see pic below) was where I started to attach the other end of the strap. Make sure there are no twists in your bag strap!
The hook should be on the right-hand side. If it isn’t, crochet another row of the strap or take one away.
Ch1. Insert hook through first stitch on strap and the chosen stitch on the other side of the bag (see pic below). Yarn over and pull through all loops/stitches. Repeat for the last 7 stitches, leaving out the initial ch1. Fasten off and sew ends securely. Finished!
Make sure to sew the ends in really well.
A Finished Crochet Mesh Bag
I only made one crochet mesh bag, which I frogged a few times in the design process. This crochet pattern is mostly a way for me to practice pattern writing. It took blinkin’ ages, but it’s free! Useful feedback would be gratefully received. Thanks.
Please don’t publish this pattern without my permission. Please don’t pinch the pattern to sell. If you want to make the bags as items to sell at craft markets, then this is totally fine. And send me a message to say what you’ve been up to, as I would love to hear from you. Ta very much!
I think a crochet pompom edging is one of my favourite types of blanket borders, so far. This is a cosy blanket just for me!
It’s a real thrill because most of my finished crochet blankets tend to make me feel a bit “meh” after I’ve finished them. It’s usually to do with them not ending up how they looked in my head, so they get abandoned, or I give them away. Not this time!
The main crochet stitch used in this blanket is the Stacked Shells section from Cherry Heart’s Spice of Life blanket. Sandra herself did the same thing, and I liked it even more than the Spice of Life Blanket [here’s my SoL]. I’ve totally copied the idea! It’s called A Touch of Spice, and I really love it.
A Touch of Spice Blanket
Last year, I bought a pile of Stylecraft Life DK, thinking I was going to make a Rustic Lace Squareblanket. I’m still undecided about the Rustic Lace Square with this particular yarn, though. Some of the crochet blankets I’ve seen are exquisitely beautiful, but they look cottony and fine, not woolly and wintery. They’re lacey. I’m not sure this is the yarn for that crochet project. However, I’ve still got loads of Stylecraft Life left so…
A Bobbly Pompom Border
The bobbly crochet pompoms are my absolute favourite bit. I love the red, and I just think they’re fabulous. I was super proud of them because I made up the crochet pattern myself.
I’d found a couple of crochet patterns and tutorials that had really faffy ways of crocheting pompoms, which I just couldn’t be bothered to do. I did try. Every pompom took an age, and it would have taken a lifetime to go round the whole blanket. My reaction to that was to come up with my own cheat pompom that takes half the time to crochet.
Bobbly Crochet Pompom Edging
Before I share the pattern (below), let’s take a look at the instructions for how to crochet a bobble. I have used UK terms, but a UK treble crochet is a US double crochet. Super simple to translate.
5tgr = treble crochet 5 together. Here are the instructions for a crochet bobble ie 4tgr: Yarn over (YO), insert hook in stitch, YO, pull up a loop, 3 loops on hook. YO, pull through 2 loops, 2 loops on hook. YO & insert into st, YO, pull up a loop, 4 loops on hook. YO, pull through 2 loops, 3 loops on hook. YO & insert into st, YO, pull up a loop, 5 loops on hook. YO, pull through 2 loops, 4 loops on hook. YO & insert into st, YO, pull up a loop, 6 loops on hook. YO, pull through 2 loops, 5 loops on hook. YO & pull through the last 5 loops.
Gosh, that’s tricky to write down, that’s for sure!
Crochet PomPom Edging Pattern
This pompom edging is worked into a foundation of plain stitches that you’ll have already worked. I crocheted this pompom edging onto a round of UK treble stitches / US double crochet stitches. I continued to use the same colour.
Round 1: With right side of blanket facing, *Ch7, 5tgr in 4th ch from hook, ch1, sl st into bottom of bobble, ch3, skip 3 sts of blanket edging, and sl st into next st; rep from * around.
I’ve broken it down with a few pictures below:
Crochet Pompom Edging: Step By Step
Step1: Chain 7. Step 2: Beginning the 5tr bobble. Step 3: Before pulling through the last 5 loops on the hook.
Step 4: A finished crochet bobble. Step 5: Slip stitch into bottom of the cluster (original 4th ch from hook.) Step 6: Chain 3.
Step 7: Miss 3 stitches. Slip stitch into the 4th chain. Repeat all the way around. Fasten off, sew in ends and admire your new crochet pompom edging.
A Lovely Blanket with a Crochet Pompom Edging
Amazingly, for me, I blocked this crochet blanket. I pinned it directly onto the carpet because I don’t have any spongy foam blocking boards. It doesn’t seem to have ruined the carpet.
To block my blanket, I sprayed it lightly with water and left it overnight. By morning, it was dry (It was near the radiator). I have draped myself in my cuddly new blanket every evening since I finished it last week. It’s lovely.
Anyway, I think I’m sewing stuff next. Maybe some Jedi robes for the boys, slightly different to usual. And I’ve dug out some paper piecing hexies, which is a very old, ongoing project.
A few days ago, I had a nice comment about one of my crochet blankets that I’d used as a backdrop for another project. Every once in a while, the blanket just happens to appear here on the blog somewhere, usually in the background of a random photo.
I decided that I should write a post about one of my most-used and loved crochet blankets. I don’t have much I want to share this week, so it’s an ideal opportunity to talk about something I made in the past.
I’ve taken lots of pictures of the blanket, and I will just bung them up as I blather on about how I made it.
Crochet Inspiration
I remember the pretty picturethat inspired me to make it. I haven’t seen the picture for a couple of years and now that I see it again… well, it’s miles better than mine… poo. The blog the original pattern is from is called Crochet with Raymond, and it’s still active (although the crocheter doesn’t write new content anymore). It’s still up and has lots of wonderful woolly things. It has been such a beautiful source of creative inspiration.
I crocheted this granny square blanket three years ago. I was very pregnant with my youngest boy, and I really wanted it to be finished by the time he arrived. I remember staring at it whilst I was in labour, feeling annoyed that the border still had two rows to go.
Granny Blanket Colours
I chose colours similar to the original. I used Stylecraft Special DK because that is what they sell at the shop down the road. I use Stylecraft for the majority of my projects, but I want to try something new – any suggestions?
There are ten yarn colours: Lipstick, Fondant, Pomegranate, Cloud, Sherbet, Aster, Meadow, Clematis, Wisteria and Cream. Lots of balls of cream were used, maybe 8 or 9, and then I think it was just one of each of the others, but I really don’t remember.
Granny Squares That Start With a Circle
I didn’t use an existing pattern; I made it up. It was easy enough to do. I’ll quickly write down what I think I did (using UK terms, so a “tr” is a US “dc”). FYI, I used a 4mm hook for the DK yarn.
I’m sharing the pattern for the granny circles here. They were turned into squares while working a Join As You Go method. I’ll share more about that in just a moment.
Granny Circle Pattern
Ch4 and join with a slip stitch. Round 1: Ch4 (counts as 1tr and 1ch), *1tr into ring, ch1; repeat from* 10 more times, join with a slip stitch to the 3rd ch. – [12 tr stitches]. Fasten off (I think fastening off and then joining the new colour with a slip stitch looks much better than other ways of colour changing – didn’t do that here though).
Round 2: Join new colour. Ch2, 1htr, ch1, *tr2together in each chain space, ch1; repeat around from* around, join with a slip stitch to the top of the first 2ch. Fasten off. – [12 tr together].
Round 3: Join new colour. Ch3 (counts as first stitch). 2tr into first chain space, ch1, *3tr into next chain space, ch1; repeat from* around, join with a slip stitch to the top of the first 3ch. – [12 granny clusters].
Join As You Go Crochet Technique
Once I had lots of crochet granny circles, I crocheted them all together using Attic 24’s methodof Joining As You Go. It creates a lovely, decorative pattern in the corners, which is one of my favourite things about this granny blanket.
Using this method still means lots of ends to sew in, and I’ve since sacrificed pretty corners in favour of the Continuous Join method, which stops all the dreaded ends as you have just two (one at the beginning, one at the end).
Looking at the picture above, I see that the stitches in the corners of each square have triple trebles rather than trebles.
Anyway, I think that’s it. The granny stripe border is just going round and round with clusters, and the final round is a variation of the bobble edge from Attic 24 (thanks again!), but with slip stitches between them. There are either 2 or 3 slip stitches between each bobble.
Mostly it’s screwed up on the sofa and the children wrap themselves in it whilst they watch the telly after school!
This cute triangle granny shawl is a really fast make, which I speedily churned out last week. It has turned out much nicer than I thought it would, I’m ever so pleased! It has also come at a very convenient time because as soon as the last end was sewn in, the temperature dropped, and it was literally freezing outside.
Whilst there are numerous Granny triangle shawl patterns already out there, I didn’t bother checking any out until after I’d started this one. It was mainly to see if I was doing it the way others did. Mostly I was, but I think they’re all unique in some way.
I’ll share what I did to crochet my triangle granny shawl here (with pictures), so if you want to make it, you can. It is an excellent beginner’s project and a fantastic yarn stash buster.
I started crocheting it on a Monday and finished it on a Friday. It was taken out with me when I went places, so I could pick it up and stitch a few rows here and there. Or I just plonked myself in front of the telly of a chilly night.
Yarn for a Granny Stitch Shawl
I’ve used Drops Lima, which is an Alpaca/wool mix double knit yarn. I fell in love with Drops when I squished a few balls of it in a shop in Nailsworth (just outside Stroud) last year. It was Karisma, which I went on to use in the Lilypad Fireplace blanket. For this triangle granny shawl, I used Drops Lima in the following: Off White (x5 balls) and one of each of Goldenrod (!), Powder Pink, Cerise, Pistachio, Grey Blue and Dark Blue. They come in 50 gram balls.
The pattern uses UK terms, but it really isn’t difficult to translate to US crochet speak. Essentially, a UK tr is a US dc.
I used a 4mm hook. The 3ch at the beginning of rows always counts as a first stitch.
And whilst you’re here, please feel free to look around. Have you checked out my otherfree crochet patterns?
To begin, get yourself a slip knot and put it on your hook. You’ll need to do this for the colour changes too.
Ch4 and join with a ss to make a circle. (A magic circle might work better for this but I didn’t even think of doing it at the time!)
Row 1: Ch3 (remember that this counts as the first stitch!) [top left pic ^], 2tr into the circle, ch2, 3tr into the circle [top right pic ^], turn.
Row 2: Ch3 [bottom left pic ^], 2tr into the first st [bottom right pic ^], (3tr, ch2, 3tr) in centre ch-sp, 3tr in last st (top of the 3ch), turn.
Row 3: Ch3, 2tr into first st [right pic ^], 3tr in next sp between clusters, (3tr, ch2, 3tr) in centre ch-sp, 3tr in next sp, 3tr in last st, turn.
Continue as Row 3 until you’ve used all the main colour. Cut yarn and fasten off. I used 5x 50g balls.
It should look something like this ^.
For colour changes, make a slip knot with your chosen colour and attach to the top of the first st with a ss. Carry on as normal. I worked two rows of each colour. – Side note, feel free to change colour using your preferred method. I no longer change colour by securing with a slip knot. It’s still OK to do it like this though.
Crochet Scallop Edging
This is a very simple and pretty way to finish off your triangle granny shawl.
Attach the Powder Pink yarn. Row 1: Ch3, work 1tr in the top of each stitch all the way along to the centre, (2tr, ch1, 2tr) in centre ch-sp, continue tr sts to end, turn.
Row 2: Ch3, 4tr in same st, *Miss 1 st, ss in the next, miss 1 st, 5tr in the next; Repeat from * to centre, 7tr in centre st, continue on your merry way until the end of the row. The last scallop of tr stitches is finished with a ss in the same st, which should hopefully be the last st of the row. Cut yarn and fasten off.
Back loops only for this row apart from the slip stitches. Row 3: With the right side of the scallops facing you, attach Cerise. Ch2, htr in each tr st, ss in each ss to centre. For the middle scallop: work 1htr in each of the first two tr, 1tr in the next st, 3tr in the next (middle) st, 1tr in the next st, 1htr in each of the last two sts. Continue in pattern to end. Cut yarn and fasten off. Sew in your ends!
Blocking your crochet granny shawl may be a good idea at this stage, but as I’m incredibly lazy I haven’t bothered with it. It would definitely benefit the edging if it is particularly curly, but I think it adds to the scallopy effect.
And that is it! I feel like I’ve seen the word scallop a few too many times now, not sure I’m keen.
I’ve been wearing it like a scarf. Look! A crappy self-portrait. I chose this one for the Minecraft picture in the background. It wasn’t until afterwards that I cleaned the mirror. Wish I’d done my eyebrows.
When trying to take pictures, it takes twice as long when the cat wants to get involved.

For 2019, I have written an update and created a video tutorial on YouTube: How to Crochet a Granny Owl . Cheers.
A while ago I wrote about how I was working on a crochet pattern. It was a design idea that I came up with a few years ago, but I wasn’t entirely happy with it. I dug out my old and poorly written crochet pattern and decided to play around with it; give it a little makeover. I now think it is ready to be unleashed so it can fly off and make new friends!
Here are lots of crochet granny owl decorations in various stages of making. They don’t take too long to put together.
I’m only hurting them because I love them.
I made eight little crochet granny owl decorations in the end, each of which turned out a little different depending on how I tweaked the pattern. Every single one has a unique personality.
What I like is that you can add bits or leave bits off. Wings, tufty ears, a hangy loop. The wings can be sewn on completely or half-sewn on so that they flap about. They work beautifully as cute handmade Christmas decorations, too.
Owly with wings and tufty ears.
Owly without wings and tufty ears. This one has suffered a minor injury to his hanging loop. He was attacked by a scissor-wielding boy.
A friend of mine knew what I was up to and offered to help turn my pattern into a fancy pants PDF that could be downloaded. This is something I have no experience in, and I am unbelievably grateful that she spent so much time making it for me. She is an amazing artist and graphic designer. It looks so pretty! I have given her an open favour in return, I wonder what it’ll be…
The PDF should be just below. It has the pattern and some (hopefully) helpful pictures.
I love these crochet granny owls. I feel a weeny bit of proud of myself! They’re very cute. I think a snowy owl version would look lovely hanging from a Christmas tree. Or, I’m thinking of a Halloween version?! I’d love to see one of those. Also, I’m sure it could be turned into other creatures besides an owl. Can’t think of any at the moment though…um… turn it upside down, add a few curling tentacles and it’s an octopus??
I often share quite a few crafts I’ve made from other people’s patterns, but there hasn’t been much that has come directly from my own brain. Sooo, I am going to rectify that now and share a crochet pattern for little flowers that I’ve come up with myself.
It’s a pattern for some delicate little flowers. I’m sure there are lots of similar ones out there, but this one is nice because I created it for my friend’s daughter. She wanted some hair clips with crochet flowers, and this is what I came up with. There are two sizes because the first size I made was just a bit too big to stick on a hair clip. So, I downsized the flower motif. I don’t remember if I took photographs of the original flowers I made; this idea happened about two years ago!
Little Flower Crochet Pattern
Please excuse me if the pattern doesn’t work; I’ve never done this properly before. My notebook has words and pictures that I deciphered, translating that has been…interesting… Gosh, if that doesn’t fill you with confidence!
For both of these quick crochet patterns, I used a 3mm hook and Stylecraft Special DK. I’ve written the pattern in UK terms.
Small Crochet Flower Pattern
Chain (ch) 6 and join with a slip stitch (ss). Round 1: Ch3, 1tr into the ring (counts as 1 pair of spokes), (ch5, 2tr into ring) x5, ch5 and join with a ss to the top of the ch3 – [6 petals]. Fasten off (Fo).
Round 2: Join new colour with a ss between a pair of spokes (pictured above), 6dc in each 5ch sp (space), ss in between each pair of spokes, join with a ss to the first ss. Fo and sew in ends. (Round 2 is pictured, below).
Extra Small Flower Pattern.
Ch5 and join with a ss. Round 1: Ch2, 1htr into ring (counts as 1 pair of spokes), (ch3, 2htr) x4, ch3 and join with ss to the top of the ch2. – [5petals]. Fo.
Round 2: Join new colour with a ss in between a pair of spokes. 4dc in each 3ch sp, ss in between each pair of spokes. Join with a ss to the first stitch. Fo and sew in ends.
With the help of a glue gun, just wodge these on a hair clip. I can see lots of them together on a headband, too, or do whatever you like with them! I am pretty sure these little crochet flowers are very versatile!
My First Ever Written Crochet Pattern!
There, my first ever published crochet pattern. I do have more designs that I’m going to blog about, including one that I am completely in love with, which is very cute indeed. I want to see if I’ve got this one right before I get overexcited though. I’d love to hear what people think, but please don’t hate it!!
