Crochet Chiq

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

Hello everyone , As the Christmas Crafting season approaches I thought I would share a go to pattern I found from the amazing "Crochet Geek" This pattern works up quick, is easy ans makes a great gift. The pattern is found here  Teresa Richardson's Easy Angel Pattern I used Paton's lace and a size D crochet hook for mine. I also put the book marker chain at the top. I didn't block mine or stiffen it but it's easy to do if you want too! Teresa has videos on how to do it but the basic way is to mix 1 part water and 1 part glue, cover the item pin the item into place and let dry! It you want to CHIQ it up add glitter right after the glue :) If you have any questions Teresa is on Facebook and is always quick to respond to comments! She helped me out when I first started!
