AWESOME pattern videos using novelty yarns! Part 1 Red Heart Yarns

By

Do you go to youtube when searching for patterns? I did this week and wanted to share some awesome finds!

I recently worked this up with Red Heart's new yarn coming out called Filigree. I love how cute it is! So if you cant get your hands on Rigoletto try any thick non yarn type yarn!

Speaking of Rigoletto have you seen my Rigoletto scarf I made from Mikey's video? ( took me like 5 minutes to make... How amazing is that??? I mean I REALLY love all these new yarns coming out from Red Heart Yarns


If you have seen ribbon yarns and not known what to do with them.... Look no further!!!!!! I was sooo inspired by the video below ( made by Teresa ... and if you have ever searched on youtube the name Teresa and the sound of her voice should be very familiar indeed ****** I learned to crochet from Teresa and Mikey via youtube!***** She used the lovely ribbons yarn ( in the video she uses red hearts but many yarn companies make ribbon yarns ooo soo much fiber goodness! ) and instead of crocheting in the ladder of it 
she used a bigger hook and crocheted it all together! seeing this video insipred me to use the yarn in this way as well

Free pattern here 
I love the way the ribbon yarn worked as a trim in this ! 
Now I am sure you have seen all the sashay scarves... Most are knitted and some have crochet patterns for them
I like again the creativity of not using the yarn the way
you thing one should use it! have you seen my free pattern to crochet sashay scarves? It is my top seeling class of all time at Michaels!  Come back tomorrow for more fun novelty how to videos!


And Last is a video I made almost a year ago using one of my favorite yarns.. Redheart boutique changes!

    Thanks Mary Kathryn! What fun videos and links! :-) That reminds me on the ribbon yarn; I made a scarf out of Bernat Truffles not using the ladder but the whole thing on knitting needles. It actually was from a pattern found in the Red Heart Chic yarn wrapper. It was enough to add a buttonhole and have a scarflette. Thanks for the videos I'll be diving in to them!..(ps Thank you for adding my videos!)

I used Aunt Lydia's Crochet thread and a size D hook. Make a magic circle Round 1 Ch3, 2dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2 and join. Sides and top of cross Ch3 2dc, ch2, dc3 in any ch2 sp. Turn and *sl to ch2, ch3,2dc, ch2,3dc. *Turn and repeat * repeat everything in this step 3 more times. Cut thread and weave in ends at the ends of the sides. Bottom of the cross When you get to the last side repeat the * section 2 more times for a total of 4 shells for the bottom and 2 shells for the sides not including the center. On the top of the cross attach yarn and chain 26, skip the first 5 and sl to the first chain. Then I added a tassel. If thread isn't your thing check out this great bookmark Stitch 11 made from my Cross Bangle pattern! Check out the Stitch 11 post here
