19 Free Crochet Circle Vest or Shrug Patterns

December 12, 2023 By stitch11 Leave a Comment

Circular vests or shrugs are perfect garments to make and wear throughout the year. They look a little fancier than garments worked as rectangles or squares, but are still pretty easy to make.

Read on to learn how to make a crochet circle vest or shrug, and get 20 free crochet patterns for these fun items!

What is a Circle Vest or Shrug?

A circle vest is just a vest that is worked from the center of the back out in rounds. They often include a mandala or lacy motif on the back, but not always.

Holes are left for the arms, which can be left open to make a vest, or you can stitch on sleeves to make a shrug or cardigan. The edge of the circle makes a sort of collar on the front of the vest.

This kind of pattern is a lot of fun to stitch, and you can easily customize a circle vest because you can just keep adding rounds if you need a bigger diameter to your circle.

Materials for Making a Circle Vest

You don’t need a lot of supplies to get started making circle vests, but one thing you’ll want to consider before you get started is the yarn.

Many circle vests are worked in multicolored, self-striping yarns like Lion Brand Mandala or Caron Cakes, because the color changes emphasize the pattern and make it look more dramatic without any extra work on your part.

Of course you can work any of these patterns in a solid color yarn, or make your own color changes with yarn from your stash, but it’s worth looking at the suggested yarn for the pattern you want to make and considering how different it would look if you didn’t use the same colorful yarn.

In addition to yarn, you’ll need a crochet hook in the size recommended in the pattern, or whatever you need to get gauge. These vests generally will fit a range of sizes, but if you want yours to fit as expected, make sure you have the same number of stitches per inch as the designer, or adjust your hook size until you do.

You’ll also want to have the following supplies handy:

Crochet Patterns for Circular Shrugs and Cardigans

What makes a pattern a shrug instead of a vest? Usually in the case of circle shrugs, the circle is made large enough that it can be folded and finished to have sleeves that are part of the main piece. Here we’ve also collected some projects with circle backs but that include sleeves stitched after the circle part is done.

You could always leave the sleeves off and these would become circular vests as well. Or take any of the vest patterns above and add sleeves if you’d rather make a cardigan.

Bring Me the Sun Shrug Vest Pattern

Designer: By Katerina
Yarn weight: (4) Worsted

How to Crochet a Bralette with 30 Easy Bralette Crochet Patterns

November 17, 2023 By stitch11 1 Comment

Bralettes are fantastic to wear during summer. Bralettes are easy to wear and much easier to crochet. If you haven’t crocheted any bralettes yet, this post is for you. Here’s how to make a crochet bralette.

Table of Contents

How to Crochet a Beginner-Friendly Bralette

There are a few basic steps that go into crocheting a bralette, though exactly how it’s put together may vary from pattern to pattern.

Generally you will begin by stitching the base, or the band that goes under the breasts, which is typically worked flat. Then you would stitch the cups, usually one at a time. They can be stitched onto the band you’ve already crocheted so you don’t have to sew them on later.

Finally you would work the straps. Some patterns have you work the cups first and then add the band, but generally these are the three parts of any bralette crochet pattern you will need to work.

If you wanted to know more specifically how to make a crochet bralette without following one of the patterns below, you’d need to measure around your chest under your bust where the band will hit. The band is often worked sideways so you can wrap it around your body as you go until you have a snug fit.

Consult a pattern below for how to shape the cups, which you can also hold up to your body as you go to ensure good coverage.

Straps can be anything from crochet straps with the same stitch pattern as the band to long chains that tie around the neck or braid into the back of the bralette. Check out all the free patterns below to get inspired to design your own, or learn how to crochet a bralette by working on of these projects.

Can a Beginner Crochet a Bralette?

Of course! Anyone can crochet a bralette, even if they’re new to crocheting. Choose a pattern using basic crochet stitches (like sc, hdc, or dc) and you’ll be fine. You do need to pay attention to your gauge and proper measuring to ensure your bralette will fit, but the skills needed are not difficult.

We’ve collected crochet bralette patterns for all skill levels below. And if you have any problems understanding the patterns or having them turn out just the way you expect, check out our Crochet Fundamentals workshop for a quick grounding in the basics and beyond.

Supplies Needed to Crochet a Bralette

When you are getting ready to crochet a bralette, you first need to consider the yarn you want to use. Cotton yarn is a popular choice for bras because it is breathable and good for warm weather, but it can stretch and may not hold its shape through wear. Cotton yarn is not always soft, so it might not be comfortable against the skin.

Wool and acrylic yarns, as well as blends with either, are generally warmer but also will hold up to stretching better. There are both wool and acrylic options that are comfortable to wear against the skin, but check the care instructions if you need your tops to be machine washable.

The patterns below will give you guidance as to the best yarn to use to complete them.

You’ll also need a crochet hook in the size called for in the pattern or whatever you need to get the correct gauge. Because a bralette really needs to fit well, taking the time to check your gauge and to measure as you go is very important.

Speaking of measuring, a flexible tape measure will be needed both to measure your body and you bralette as you work. You’ll also need a yarn needle (aka tapestry needle) for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends, and scissors for trimming your excess yarn. If your bra cups are worked in the round, a stitch marker will be helpful for marking the end of the round.

Now that you have all the materials you need, it’s time to dive into these fun crochet bralette patterns! The patterns below are arranged by the weight of yarn used. If you’re looking for something light for summer, bulky for lounging at home in winter, or anything in between to add to your wardrobe, we’ve got you covered!

30 Easy Lacy Crochet Scarf Patterns

September 19, 2023 By stitch11 Leave a Comment

Lacy crochet scarf patterns are a step up in skill level from scarves using basic stitch patterns, but they’re a great way to learn more intricate stitches and add a handmade touch to your wardrobe any time of year.

Lace scarves usually have a repeating stitch pattern, so as soon as you learn the basics it’s simple to repeat that design as long as you want for your scarf. And many of these stitches are just variations on the basic crochet stitches, so they shouldn’t be too much of a challenge!

Table of Contents

How Do You Crochet a Lace Scarf?

Lace scarves, like any other crocheted scarf, are typically rectangles and can be worked from the top down (meaning from one short side to the other) or from side to side, using a long chain that is the same length as your scarf.

Lacy crochet scarf patterns often use one or several repeating stitch patterns to make the design, so make sure you’re comfortable with all the techniques before you get started.

If you need any help understanding what the pattern wants you to do, our Crochet Fundamentals workshop can help. It will teach you everything from basic stitches to finishing techniques so your projects will end up looking just like the ones in the pictures.

How Long is the Average Crochet Scarf?

Crocheted scarves can be made to any length you like. Sometimes lacy crochet scarves are shorter than you might make a winter scarf because they are worn more as an accessory than something to keep you warm.

In general, though, scarves are worked to about the length that the recipient is tall. When working a scarf from a short end, you can easily alter the pattern to make it shorter or longer based on who you are giving it to and how it will be worn.

Just keep in mind the pattern repeat and make sure you’ve completed a full repeat of the pattern if it is more than one row before you finish off your work.

Materials for Lacy Crochet Scarf Patterns

The most important consideration when making a lacy crochet scarf is what yarn you want to use. Typically lighter weight yarns are used for lace scarves (up to a 4, worsted weight) and sometimes a larger hook is used that would typically be called for with that weight of yarn to emphasize the openness of the stitches.

You don’t necessarily need to check gauge when working a scarf pattern, because if your scarf comes out a slightly different size it’s not a big deal. But if you want to make a swatch so you can practice and make sure you understand all the pattern abbreviations and techniques, that can be helpful.

When it comes to fiber content, any fiber you like can be used to crochet a lace scarf, from cotton to acrylic, wool and blends. Since scarves tend to touch the skin you’ll want to use something that is soft to touch.

In addition to yarn and the size crochet hook called for in the pattern, you’ll also need:

Scissors for trimming yarn ends

Yarn needle or tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Stitch markers can also be handy if your pattern has different lace sections in the same row

The following free lacy crochet scarf patterns are arranged by yarn weight in case you want to use something special from your stash or are looking for a lighter weight scarf for summer or a heavier one for the transitional seasons. Either way you’re sure to find a stunning, lacy scarf you can’t wait to get on your hook!

33 Easy Crochet Socks for All Ages

July 18, 2023 By stitch11 Leave a Comment

Whether crocheted or knitted, homemade socks are irresistible! They are so warm and cozy, and they aren’t difficult to stitch at all. Check out this collection of 35 easy crochet sock patterns to get you started.

Table of Contents

Can a Beginner Crocheter Create Socks?

Yes! You can crochet socks even if you’re a new crocheter. The main skill you will need to make socks is knowing how to crochet in the round, as well as having a grasp of the basic crochet stitches.

How to Choose the Right Yarn for Crochet Socks

You must consider two things when choosing the yarn for your crochet socks: yarn weight and fiber content.

The pattern you choose will indicate the yarn weight and, usually, the suggested yarn the designer used, which will give you clues about fiber content. In general, socks tend to be stitched with lighter weight yarns (in fact, one name for yarn weight 1, or superfine yarn, is sock yarn) but socks can be stitched on any weight yarn you like.

Finer yarns mean more stitches per inch, which can make your socks more durable, as can using yarn with nylon content, which makes it a little harder wearing and more stretchy.

Again, any kind of yarn can be used for socks. Sock yarns tend to be made with superwash wool and nylon, but you can also use 100 percent wool. Acrylic socks might not breathe as well as wool socks, leading to hot feet.

Cotton yarn doesn’t stretch as well as acrylic or wool yarns so it’s not a great choice for socks, but cotton blends may be used.

The first one is weight. You’ve probably noticed that plenty of patterns and yarns are available for any crochet project, but choosing one that is comfortable to wear is the key to crocheting socks.

What Supplies Do I Need for Socks?

In addition to the yarn called for in the pattern (or yarn of the same weight and similar content), you’ll need a crochet hook of the size called for in the pattern or that you need to get gauge.

Because crochet socks are usually worked in the round, a stitch marker is helpful to note the end of the round.

You’ll also want a yarn needle and a pair of scissors to trim yarn and weave in ends. A tape measure is helpful for keeping track of the length of different parts of your sock to ensure a good fit, or try it on as you go.

How Long Does it Take to Crochet Socks?

How long it takes to crochet anything depends on the size you are making, the length of the sock the weight of the yarn, the complexity of the stitches, and your skill level.

In general, though, a single sock can usually be crocheted in one to three hours, meaning will take three to six hours of stitching to make a pair.

If you need help with any of the skills needed for these patterns, check out our Crochet Fundamentals workshop, which covers all the basics and so much more to help you gain skills quickly so you can take on any project you like with confidence.

Let’s dive into the patterns! These 33 easy crochet socks cover basic socks for beginners to stitch, ankle socks, yoga socks, knee-highs, and socks for kids.

Why Crochet Fingerless Gloves?

Crochet fingerless gloves are a great small crochet project to make and use whenever your hands are cold.

They are fun and fashionable and keep your hands warm while still allowing you to drive, text, type, crochet, or do whatever you need to do. They also make great gifts.

Supplies Needed to Crochet Fingerless Gloves

Like most crochet projects, there are not a lot of supplies you need to crochet fingerless gloves. Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need.

The Best Yarn to Crochet Fingerless Gloves

When it comes to fingerless gloves, you will probably want to choose a yarn that is warm, soft, and durable. Fiber content is up to you and whether you need your project to be machine washable (best for kids and charity projects) or if you’re willing to hand wash your fingerless mitts.

Here are a few of our favorite yarns to use for fingerless gloves, organized by weight.

Depending on the weight of the yarn and the size of the gloves you are making, fingerless gloves require one to two skeins of yarn or 100 to 250 yards.

Notions and Tools Needed to Crochet Fingerless Gloves

In addition to a crochet hook in the size called for in the pattern (or that suits your yarn if you’re making up your own pattern), there are a few other supplies you might need to finish your project.

Tapestry needle for weaving in ends and seaming your gloves if they are worked flat

Scissors to cut yarn ends

Stitch marker to mark the end of the round if working in the round.

Crochet Fingerless Gloves Construction Techniques

There are several common ways that crocheted mitts or fingerless gloves can be worked. Here’s a quick overview.

The most basic fingerless gloves are worked as flat rectangles, folded in half and seamed, with a gap for the thumb to go through.

Crochet fingerless gloves can also be worked in the round, with a hole made for the thumb as you go. The pattern you are working on will tell you where and how to make the hole.

You can also make convertible fingerless gloves that include a flat to cover the fingers like a mitten. The mitt part can be worked flat or in the round, and the flap may be worked separately and sewn on or picked up from the stitches on the back of the hand.

Sizing Fingerless Glove Patterns

Crochet fingerless gloves can be made in any size by changing the yarn, hook size, and gauge. It is important to take measurements when starting to make the gloves to achieve the right fit.

If you’re trying to determine the correct size of a pattern to use, or you want to make custom mitts to fit you, here are the measurements you need:

Hand length: measure from where you want your mitts to start on your arm/wrist to where you want them to end on your hand. This might be just above the knuckles on your hand or up to the lower knuckles on your fingers.

Hand circumference: Measure your hand’s circumference by wrapping a tape measure around your palm just below the knuckles, not counting the thumb. You want this to be snug but not tight.

Wrist circumference: Measure around your wrist or arm where you want the end of the mitt to hit. Again, make the tape measure snug but not tight.

If you’re stitching for someone else and don’t have their hand, well, handy to measure, Easy Crochet has a detailed size chart to help you pick the right size for your fingerless gloves.

Childrens Rosalina Winter Hat

October 30, 2017 By stitch11 3 Comments

Getting tired of pompoms on your hats? Well, do we have the alternative for you! This pattern gives your ol' hats a twist and it's one anyone who sees the hat will truly love. See it for yourself with our free pattern below or get the ad-free printable PDF pattern here.

It's that time of year again! I will admit, the only reason I get excited about the colder air flowing through, is because it means it's CROCHET SEASON and an excuse to wear cute hats!

My mini-boss is at it again…giving me all her demands! This little 6-year-old firecracker has the most amazing mind and creative ideas! I don't know what I would do without her.

This year she has requested a hat with roses. She didn't like the idea of a rose just being attached to the hat, no… she wanted roses to replace the pom poms! Brilliant!

For this crochet pattern, the hat portion is designed by me and is supplied below for free. The rose crochet pattern is not mine and is a low-cost paid pattern found on Ravelry.

The Noso Rose is designed by Cynthia L. Green and can be found HERE. Read more about my experience with the rose during the rose portion of this pattern.

If you enjoy crocheting simple shapes like rectangles, you may want to check out our Crochet Anything with Rectangles class where you'll take the basic shape you already have down pat and turn it into useful, practical, and beautifully professional projects.

I was approached by Red Heart Yarns to review an adjustable weaving loom by Plaid. I have never used a loom, let alone a WEAVING loom! I was a bit intimidated by the idea and felt like a complete rebel when I volunteered to do a review.
I did NOT write a “pattern” but I took lots of photos! I want to share with you my process, and what was going through my mind the entire time!

All supplies for this project was supplied by Red Heart Yarns and Plaid.

I have been working a lot, but not sharing enough!!!
Before I go into detail of what's been going on behind the scenes, I will share with you TWO free crochet patterns!! The Boutique Bow and The Olivia's Tutu. Both of these designs are being worn by my daughter in the photo and painting above. <3
Now.. this painting is one of the reasons you haven't been seeing me as much. I have taken a mini break from crochet (for the last two weeks) to enjoy some other arts I love.
Two weeks? But I've been MIA a little longer than two weeks right?!
Red Heart has been in contact with me.. and I have had the opportunity to design some patterns FOR them!!! Can you believe it? If you have been following me for the last 5 years.. you know how amazing this is to me and my family. Here soon, once they start publishing those patterns, I will be sure to post the links and photos here!
Not only do I get to design things for them from time to time… but I am also now a Red Heart Joy Creator.
Red Heart sends me yarn, lets me create, and then we share the pattern here with you for free! How exciting! I received a new package today!!!
I have a few ideas, but check out the yarn below and give me more ideas! My brain is stuck in painting and it's about time to come back to my fibers. <3

March 23, 2016 By stitch11 1 Comment

I'm not sure how many of you remember the Pokemon Balls I made a year ago, but ever since, my daughter has been begging me to make her a Pikachu.
I finally agreed to make this little monster. He is small, adorable, and very lovable. The pattern is very easy to follow and well written.
I did have confusion with the tail. I don't know what I did wrong, but whatever it was, it still worked out just fine.
Instead of felt cheeks, I just used some acrylic paint.

Veggie Stir Fry – Guest Post by Andrea Aizlewood

February 25, 2016 By stitch11 1 Comment

Veggie Stir Fry

Meet Andrea Aizlewood! Andrea is a stay at home mom with her toddler. She enjoys living a natural and healthy lifestyle and strives to help others to do the same.

Andrea is wanting to get started with sharing her love for healthy and delicious foods with the world! What better way to jump into the blogging world than to guest blog for me!? 😉

Once she get's her business going, I will be sure to update this post with all of her information.

How to Make Stir Fry

Veggie Stir Fry
by Andrea Aizlewood

The main inspiration for this recipe comes from receiving all that extra rice when getting Chinese take out. So much work goes into harvesting every grain of rice. It is so crushing to throw any food away, especially rice. This is a quick and easy way to use up random veggies and leftover rice to make a healthy and filling meal for the family. It is also great to eat as a late night snack straight from the fridge or for a cold lunch the next day when you're on the go.

Tip: There is a term the French use, “mis en place” which means “putting in place”. It means to have all of the ingredients for the recipe and having them prepped and ready for cooking. Practicing mis en place ensures that you won't be half way through making your dish and realizing you are out of a key ingredient. It also ensures that you can execute without worrying about cutting or chopping while something is sitting and burning in the pan. Making this stir fry is a great way to practice prepping everything or mis en place.

Orange Sauce

Orange Sauce

¼ cup of sweet chili sauce
1 orange zested and juiced
2TBL Soy sauce or Tamari
1 tsp grated ginger
2 grated garlic cloves
1 tsp vinegar

Veggies

1 whole onion
1/3 cp mushrooms (I used baby portabella because it was the organic choice on sale)
1 cp shredded carrot
1 cp green beans, diced (You can use snow pea or sugar snap peas)
1 cp broccoli
½ cp purple cabbage
1 ½ – 2 cp of rice, already cooked (I used leftover rice from take out)
1 TBL cilantro

Method

Saute the onion and mushroom in coconut oil on medium low heat till caramelized.
Push to outer edges of pan.

Add carrots to middle of pan. Sautee till slightly tender. Mix with onions and mushrooms.
Push to outer edges of pan.

Add in green beans and broccoli. Sautee till tender. Mix with rest of veggies.

Add the cabbage, Rice, cilantro, and orange sauce and mix. Now eat!

Yum! Stir Fry!

Another Child Mouse Hat

December 16, 2015 By stitch11 Leave a Comment

Each time I make something… I tend to want to do things a little differently.
I decided to use Caron Simply Soft this time.
In order to get the correct size, instead of using the original Minnie Mouse Hat for Preschoolers or the Child Size Minnie Mouse Hat, I used the Hat Pattern from the Batman Hat.
I paired the hat with the ears from the Preschool Minnie Mouse Hat. I used two strands of caron simply soft held together to make sure they would be strong. (instead of making 2 layers for each ear) I still crocheted the edging around the ear.
For the bow, I held 3 strands of Red Heart Soft together and followed the free Boutique Bow pattern.

Supplies
N-9mm crochet hook
Red Heart “Velvety” – Bulky 5
Yarn Needle

Stitches
FSC – Foundation Single Crochet
CH – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
Puff Stitch

Before I share the pattern, I want to take a moment to share with you how much I am loving this “Velvety” yarn from Red Heart. It's super soft which is a given for the “love” factor.. but even when you make a mistake and go to ribbit it all out, it pulls back out so easily! Major bonus!

-note- If you need to adjust the width, you are making your starting FSC in counts of 2 + 1.

Row 1: FSC 25
Row 2-4: CH 1. Turn. SC into each stitch across.

Row 5: CH 1. Turn. Puff stitch into first stitch. CH 1. Skip 1 stitch. *Puff stitch into next stitch. CH 1. Skip 1 stitch. Repeat from * 11 more times. Puff stitch into the last stitch. (13 puff stitches)
Row 6-9: Ch 1. Turn. SC into each stitch across. (25 SC)
Repeat rows 5-9 until you reach the end of the skein. Attach both ends together using your yarn needle.

For more beautiful scarf patterns, check out these from the past!

For the snow cowl in the photo above- I used Caron Simply Soft, size I crochet hook and started with a FSC of 35.

The Optical Illusion Baby Blanket is designed for my new baby cousin Gracie. But, with a change of colors, you can customize this free blanket crochet pattern for any baby or even change up the size!

What I love about this pattern is you can take individual squares and seam them together to make a full blanket. I can also teach you how to take rectangles and hexagons and crochet almost any pattern. My video course Crocheting Anything with Rectangles and Crocheting Anything with Hexagons will help you master the skills you need to use basic shapes to stitch together larger patterns! You are going to love these courses and how easy they are! Check them out now and learn free for 2 days.

NOTE- You can choose to use the joining method and “join as you go” to minimize your yarn ends for weaving in. I didn't do this.. because I wasn't sure how I was going to join until after I finished the squares. But using and learning the Scallop Join, made me realize I could have saved time and yarn by just doing it before finishing off the yarn after the last round of each square.

To crochet the Optical Illusion Baby Blanket, you will need to crochet you desired amount of THIS SQUARE PATTERN. I made 12.

The first edging before joining your squares.
Join yarn to corner TR. CH 1, SC into same stitch. CH 3. SC into same stitch.{ *CH 3, skip 2 stitches, SC into next stitch. Repeat from * 5 more times. SC into TR. CH 3. SC into same stitch.} Repeat from { to } 2 more times. **CH 3, skip 2 stitches, SC into next stitch. Repeat from ** 5 more times. Join to first SC.
After finishing your first edging, You will use this —-> SCALLOP JOIN by Gourmet Crochet. You will continue with the same edging you used with the first square, besides on the sides you are joining.. that is where you need the Scallop Join.

NOTE- After the first row of joining. When joining in corners, I slip stitched into the same slip stitch as previous corners.
Below is a progress photo from after I joined my squares.

Border
Round 1: Starting in any CH 3 space, CH 1. 3 SC into CH 3 space. You will be putting 3 SC into every CH 3 space (while skipping every SC). In the corner CH 2 spaces, you will {SC, CH 2, SC} all into the corner CH 2 space. When you reach each area of joins, you will work 1 SC into each of the 3 spaces. (The Ch space, the side of the SC that joins the CH space and the next CH space.) I have a photo below to help.
Once you get back to your starting stitch, join to the first SC.

Optical Illusion - first round of border - Stitch11

Round 2: CH 3 (counts as first DC). DC into each SC around. On the corner CH 2 spaces, you will {2 DC, CH 2, 2 DC} all into the CH space. Once you get back to the starting CH 3. join to the top CH.
Round 3: CH 3 (counts as first DC). DC into each DC around. On the corner CH 2 spaces, you will {2 DC, CH 2, 2 DC} all into the CH space. Once you get back to the starting CH 3.
Round 4: CH 1. SC into each stitch around. On the corners you will be crocheting 3 SC into the CH 2 spaces. Join to first SC.

I cut my fudge a little early.. because I am a chocoholic who just cannot hold back from stuffing my face. 😉 Once a few people send me their photos, I will add them all to this post! Enjoy!!

Ingredients and Supplies
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup of milk
1 cup of peanut butter
2 heaping tablespoons of cocoa (unsweetened)
1/2 tablespoon of butter (plus butter for greasing plate)
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1 dinner plate
large sauce pan
bowl

Step 1: Butter the plate completely.
Step 2: Measure your peanut butter, vanilla, and butter out into a bowl. Set aside.
Step 3: Measure your sugar, milk, and cocoa into your sauce pan.
Step 4: On medium heat, bring your saucepan to a boil. Boil for exactly 4 minutes. (I used a timer)
Step 5: Empty bowl contents into your pan. Stir until well blended. Pour over your plate. Do not take your time! It will thicken up to harden quickly.
Step 6: Set aside until it cools completely. You can put it in the fridge to speed up the process. Slice it up and EAT! 🙂

Woven – Crochet Bag – Free Crochet Pattern

April 22, 2015 By stitch11 8 Comments

I originally was designing this as a beach bag. But once I finished, I realized it would need lined to really be usable. I wanted that to be the first thing I tell you- so you can check out these following links and see if lining a crochet bag is for you!
If you love the idea, continue to the pattern, 🙂

I rotated with two colors on the vertical strips. I used the variegated “fruit punch” and a maroon.

Do not finish off your last vertical strip.

Time to get the weaving strips worked up!

Make a total of 6 strips.

Row 1: CH 7, skip 1 CH, and SC into the next 6 CH. (6 SC)
Row 2: CH 1, turn. SC into each stitch across. (6 SC)

For weaving strip # 1 you will repeat row 2 until you have a total of 130 rows. Leaving long yarn end, finish off.
Weaving strip #2 will have 120 rows.
Weaving strip #3 will have 110 rows
Weaving strip # 4 will have 100 rows.
Weaving strip # 5 will have 95 rows.
Weaving strip # 6 will have 90 rows.

Weave in your strips starting with the longest to the shortest- and weaving them from the bottom of the bag up. Using yarn end from strip and yarn needle, join both ends of each strip together as you finish weaving them.

Crocheting your Bag Strap

With any of your colors, CH 24. Slip stitch to first CH.
Round 1-60: CH 1. HDC into each stitch around. Join to first HDC.

Once you are finished, attach the strap to both sides of the top of the bag. Before doing this, lay your bag flat to know exactly which parts are the sides.

Now, make your bag lining using your favorite technique. I linked three tutorials for lining at the top of this post.

American Dress For my Daughter

July 1, 2014 By stitch11 2 Comments

Only a few days left before Independence Day! I wanted to make my daughter a dress… I am still not sure if I am finished. I really do not like RHSS yarn for clothing.. I think I will replace the band I used the RH with a soft satin ribbon… maybe even putting a bow in the back.

I almost didn't get a model for this one.. my daughter is beginning to hate my camera! I will have to mellow out a little with having her model things so I do not ruin her forever with cameras. It is a sad thing to except but I know I need to respect her wishes. I love looking back at the last few years of patterns and seeing her grow as my skills grow.

Want to make your own? I used a Lrg Ladies tshirt. I cut it just below the arms. I sharpened a 5 mm crochet hook with a knife sharpener and crocheted around the top of the shirt with simple HDC. I then did a round of HDC-DEC. Then did HDC rounds until I got the height I needed.

The white is just a RHSS HDC band/belt that I made to cover the part where I crocheted onto the shirt- it made it look cleaner.

For stars I cut felt and hot glued them to the dress… I know the stars probably will not last long in the washer. But to be honest, none of my daughters clothes last long. They either get stained the first day she wears them or she grows out of them too quickly to get good use. So, I really am not too concerned for how long they last.

The straps are braided pieces of fabric.. but I may replace those with ribbon as well. I will be sure to update this post to let you know if I do make any changes. Crochet Tshirt Dress- July 4th

Update! I took the crochet band off. I made a new one out of an old white Tshirt and some iron seaming tape. 🙂 Looks much better!
