Crochet Chiq

Supplies: 3ply or 4 ply yarn ( washable only) size F crochet hook *Slip stitch and chain one ( to step up and prevent your first stitch from being smashed) Make a magic circle Rd 1-10 hdc in the loop Rd 2- 2hdc in stitch for a total of 20 hdc Rd3- 2hdc in the first, 1 hdc in the next, repeat * when making a hat we do 2 stitches in one stitch to increase, however if we keep doing 2 in everyone it wont lay right so what we do is equally space it out* *This is where I stop increasing however preemies come as small as 1 pound up to 6 pounds so make lots of sizes. to make your hat bigger use a bigger hook and or add an extra increase round or two)* Rd 5- (2hdc,ch1,2 hdc)Shell skip 3 repeat * if you increased more or less and it isn't even and you have one less or more at the last shell thats ok, it won't be noticable. Rd 6 and until you have the length you want. * they say preemie has should fit on a orange* slip stitch to the hdc before the chain 1, make your shell in this hd...

Made with Redheart Shimmer I saw a photo of this Vintage lace pattern and fell in love but I couldn't find a free pattern and so after hours ( I won't tell you how many!) I came up with a pattern :) This is my way of making it based off of the picture! I love this sooo much!! If you use 4ply yarn you can make a quick and easy scarf or use crochet thread and make a pretty edging! Supplies:  any yarn and the hook the yarn suggests you use. I would stay away from anything above a 4ply. Lacey stitches don't hold their shape as well when made with a larger hook and ply yarn. I've made scarfs with this pattern using Bernet Mosaic, Redheart Shimmer, 2 strands of Vanna's Glammar, Loops and Thread's Impeccable, and Caron's simply soft. What will you use? Comment below! Grab your hook and yarn and lets GO!!! Beginning Motif: Magic circle or Ch5 and join Ch 3, 13 DC into the ring. (14) DO NOT JOIN! Chain 1, turn. SC into the next 2 DC. *CH4,...

I will have some better photos up this week :) How on earth do you make these cute scarfs from Redheart's Sashay yarn?? I've been told you can only KNIT them.... HA HA HA Not that I am anti Kniting, I teach a knitting class everyonce in a while ( When I have to!) but I have more hours invested in crochet so I like to stick with crochet, then looming, then knitting. So I haven't taken photos yet so bare with me they will be up sometime this week. First what supplies do you need? 1 ball of Sashay yarn ( only 4.99 at Michael's and you can use a coupon).... though some on my students like a longer and or fuller scarf then you need about 1.5 balls. A size I crochet hook ... though I have made them with a J, H or G , I think it looks best with the "I" though. Okay that's ALL we need to make these wonderful scarfs!! Oh and I wrote this pattern I teach that can be taken by people who have NEVER crocheted before, this pattern is easy!! To start ...
