Firstly, it's an absolute corker of a stash buster, as you can use any colours, go super-stripey, or 2-tone, or however you feel... dive into that yarn stash! Secondly, it's a very easy pattern - it's basically a simple single row repeat. Thirdly... well, what a great Christmas gift for a loved one! It's a beautiful warm and cosy shawl, which you can make to any size to suit. A little version for a child, or just keep adding rows and go super-large for anyone who loves wrapping up big time for winter walks! Bobble edging or no bobble edging... but you know me...

It comes with masses of ideas for stash-busting projects, colour guidance, and instructions how to recreate the 5 Vibe Blankets I made... or totally go your own mix and match way and create your own masterpieces!

Measuring around your hand at the base of your four fingers will give a good indication of the finished length to make your crochet panel for each mitt. For example, my hand measures approximately 18cm, so each crochet panel was worked in stripes until it measured just under 18cm, giving a little ‘stretch’ to the mitt so it is not baggy. No one wants a saggy mitt, do they?</span></span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">If you have made mitts with lots of different striped colours, MAKE SURE when you add the edging to your second mitt that it mirrors the first mitt so that the SAME colour stripes appear on the front of your mitts.

I've been following the yarn company <a href="https://www.hoookedyarn.com/uk/blog/mosaic-crochet-with-red-sparrow-crochet.html"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">HOOOKED</span></a> for quite some time now, and I've been dying to get my hot hooky hands on their fabulous 100% recycled yarns - I had an inkling that Hoooked yarns and mosaic crochet would be a match made in heaven. And I think my 2022 bath mat just goes to prove that!</span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;">Hoooked are creators of recycled yarns which are not only beautiful and durable, but which are produced in a sustainable way which respects nature. If you're looking for a more eco-conscious approach to crafting with yarn, I'd certainly recommend looking them up. Like me, you might think that recycled yarn means fairly neutral shades, but this is so not the case. The colours are vibrant, a rainbow of delight across their huge range, some yarns even have glitter running through them!! That's an adventure for another time though...</span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;">After some excellent discussions with the lovely Geesje Mosies, founder of Hoooked, about how best to showcase their yarns, and some extrememly fun swatching sessions playing around with lots of goodies from their range, I decided to make a bath mat with their Eco Barbante range. It's a durable yarn which is really flexible as it is not too thick. It comes in a great choice of colours too.</span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg11W54RhR0QrydPAQTLPd16-lSz8BJbEQmGiWdiEi7Q_c7u_oKH-KOjfm7Vi3zLBYCCBDZ3kej8nzF0x_vE1ekxMVyBAdhEgilNa_dc3hlZgoTiQ-KAdDpMS2JLfHcXo7ZrrkvhVl8pKCzqEkxwimVHzRCnn37BxhkB56Z68T_C_fa9Fq8VsjY6gjJ=s3602" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2397" data-original-width="3602" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg11W54RhR0QrydPAQTLPd16-lSz8BJbEQmGiWdiEi7Q_c7u_oKH-KOjfm7Vi3zLBYCCBDZ3kej8nzF0x_vE1ekxMVyBAdhEgilNa_dc3hlZgoTiQ-KAdDpMS2JLfHcXo7ZrrkvhVl8pKCzqEkxwimVHzRCnn37BxhkB56Z68T_C_fa9Fq8VsjY6gjJ=w640-h426" width="640" /></a></span></span></div><span><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;"><br /> </span></span><p></p><p><span><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;">I used two strands of yarn held together to make the mat, using a 5.5mm crochet hook.

For humans and cats alike.</span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;"></span></span></p><br /><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHln8c-ipsL77d6ph0vWOj6Io61oYl7RymcBRPBvbW-Fc4edi6twFKXQ5hf0LvQxc7Twamf1LEpv1LpqbM5RFKi-xIM2wKOr_KvD3EL3_pI2AfQ_RugG1QaFPzAU1aBaRbBXRGYqNM-lD7lD7IPMEQo_2dIqeDQKEYrQUqNcwTpeoxxt-RKXxJY2at=s2301" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2301" data-original-width="2268" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiHln8c-ipsL77d6ph0vWOj6Io61oYl7RymcBRPBvbW-Fc4edi6twFKXQ5hf0LvQxc7Twamf1LEpv1LpqbM5RFKi-xIM2wKOr_KvD3EL3_pI2AfQ_RugG1QaFPzAU1aBaRbBXRGYqNM-lD7lD7IPMEQo_2dIqeDQKEYrQUqNcwTpeoxxt-RKXxJY2at=w630-h640" width="630" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;"><br /><br /></span></span><p></p><p><span><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;">As a gift to you, I'm sharing the 2022 Bath Mat pattern for free! If you'd like to make one and share your finished masterpiece, use #2022bathmat on the socials so we can all admire your version. Of course, this doesn't have to be a bath mat, it would look great in a kid's bedroom, or in the hall, or by the fire, or... well, it would work anywhere. And as Hoooked produce so many beautiful colours, you could really customise this mat just for your home.</span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;"><b>You will need:</b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: courier;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;"><b>Yarn</b></span></div><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;">Hoooked Eco Barbante (85% recycled cotton, 15% other recycled fibres)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: x-large;">Please note: I crocheted the mat quite tightly to give a dense fabric.

There are several products on the market to stop your mat being slippy underfoot, my preferred method is to cut a piece of non-slip underlay to the same size as my mat, and sew it on carefully and securely to the underside. But whichever method you use, PLEASE be careful. Safety first.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.31903; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 12.704002380371094pt; margin-right: 34.3262939453125pt; margin-top: 3.2313232421875pt; margin: 3.23132pt 34.3263pt 0pt 12.704pt; text-indent: 0.165001pt;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXUH24ti78soizv44XU3X-HXe5OWkriwU39l_P3B6XNqoQQYzK3380CvYvcsXnM1fOC01ziOL6QjLh8WdrfDB2nTkIvKv7TdsMdjrW5y1dZSQw1VTGTTgDRgL0REV6m49r6CuC-8zBz1bgY-xHS3zgPjoAfr9DsA2eK0Cj_zU7E0kQXWMBXde6eN8r=s3104" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2233" data-original-width="3104" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXUH24ti78soizv44XU3X-HXe5OWkriwU39l_P3B6XNqoQQYzK3380CvYvcsXnM1fOC01ziOL6QjLh8WdrfDB2nTkIvKv7TdsMdjrW5y1dZSQw1VTGTTgDRgL0REV6m49r6CuC-8zBz1bgY-xHS3zgPjoAfr9DsA2eK0Cj_zU7E0kQXWMBXde6eN8r=w640-h460" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /></div><br />Red Sparrow Crochethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07837085894317560074noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775407945552044534.post-87823326304114833572022-01-07T06:37:00.000-08:002022-01-07T06:37:14.678-08:002022... If Ever A Year Needed Some Neon Fabulousness, Right?<p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>Hi crafty crochet people! Happy New Year!</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Today, it's all about my 2022 Year Panel. It's fun and easy to make and I'm giving you all the pattern for free as a New Year's gift to show my appreciation for this lovely community... You know, this panel could be made into so many things: a cushion cover (as I have done), a wall hanging, a gift for a special person or event this year like a new baby in the world, a wedding, a graduation, or just for someone you want to be with and hope to spend more time with this year. But I bet you have lots more ideas how to use it and I cannot wait to see your beautiful interpretations! You could go with any colours, or change the Yarn B colour (the neon pink colour here) every couple of rows to make stripes, a rainbow effect, anything goes.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj25inyks6f_TtBAo7HHF_QHzcP1qELMJGpU4XhOJFoVxRNjMuKTQX-MViOJOa40qApWPDLTgxX6TRFuOzrZGQFjOfz2I_rw_kLrww85hGpUitmx-DKJxELXOnVUmU5sGLFBOl6TzRvpZYgCtcn_yjinriFnbaaS6jsafnaWVU5Rd5dLtsh54HovrAo=s3655" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj25inyks6f_TtBAo7HHF_QHzcP1qELMJGpU4XhOJFoVxRNjMuKTQX-MViOJOa40qApWPDLTgxX6TRFuOzrZGQFjOfz2I_rw_kLrww85hGpUitmx-DKJxELXOnVUmU5sGLFBOl6TzRvpZYgCtcn_yjinriFnbaaS6jsafnaWVU5Rd5dLtsh54HovrAo=s3655" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhavhAQbNlvPwh2qw3K-Zq2X9mn70v8IKAcCFfF5Oil6miggrBHiWCC7BS2sq0ckpLSklq1PMEhPwpGwYfQvfbIThndYEsqGzAOqWylKSkZD1vYcC4r5BDfU4XUEYXc-kPf5twrp0mtqk7cYyES0UP3s-1xK62rLiq53CTPCkJ91CpwPf5ZkbnS4V-T=s2030" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2030" data-original-width="2030" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhavhAQbNlvPwh2qw3K-Zq2X9mn70v8IKAcCFfF5Oil6miggrBHiWCC7BS2sq0ckpLSklq1PMEhPwpGwYfQvfbIThndYEsqGzAOqWylKSkZD1vYcC4r5BDfU4XUEYXc-kPf5twrp0mtqk7cYyES0UP3s-1xK62rLiq53CTPCkJ91CpwPf5ZkbnS4V-T=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2245" data-original-width="3655" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj25inyks6f_TtBAo7HHF_QHzcP1qELMJGpU4XhOJFoVxRNjMuKTQX-MViOJOa40qApWPDLTgxX6TRFuOzrZGQFjOfz2I_rw_kLrww85hGpUitmx-DKJxELXOnVUmU5sGLFBOl6TzRvpZYgCtcn_yjinriFnbaaS6jsafnaWVU5Rd5dLtsh54HovrAo=w640-h394" width="640" /></span></div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><br /><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">You might remember I made one of these for 2020 as it was such a cool number to look at, very pleasing to the eye. Alas, it was a difficult, traumatic and generally testing year for most of us, and of course life is still far from normal. With that in mind, I realised that I've been worrying about this new year 2022, what it has in store for us all, how it will play out. As is usually the case with my mental health, crochet really does steady my mind when it's starting to flip out, so I decided we'd have another go at a Year Panel. In the hope that 2022 is better. Positivity! Optimism!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">So, here's the pattern... It uses my preferred method of inset/2-row crochet which is super easy if you haven't tried it before. If you can make a chain, a dc and a tr (UK terms, so that's chain, sc and dc in US terms) then you can do it!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">I'll give you the basic technique lowdown, then the pattern will be written out in full, row by row. At the end, you'll find the chart and instructions how to read it if that's your thing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">SO here we go:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>2022 YEAR PANEL PATTERN</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>You will need:</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Any yarn to suit you in 2 contrasting colours.

We made it to Week 4 and what an absolute blast of colourful fun it has been! Last week was totally excellent: I had no idea there were such strong feeling out there in the yarn community about whether to Tassel-Pompom-Or-Neither! The issue was debated passionately but good naturedly by Team Tassel, Team Pompom and Team Neither (I'm thinking maybe we could teach those politicians a thing or two... just saying)... If you want to catch up with links to join in the hot yarn topic of the day, I'll add them at the end of the post.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">So, this week we'll be celebrating your finished masterpieces and I'll be showing you a couple of super-cute ideas too.

Here he is, Mr Hank Deluxe, getting in the way of the crochet as ever:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiHOpRkUJMazYNfnfjv3FFhAI_JDGqgeTeB7CVgpOseYqtO4fESf2ksVMShgqKCLreCribMgi27wodpV-Wev9y84KO2Ehk15Ap0L_Jb4AQ_nylqY8cfXl79E5x0OXChpbdFKVBqL6pofs/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1755" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiHOpRkUJMazYNfnfjv3FFhAI_JDGqgeTeB7CVgpOseYqtO4fESf2ksVMShgqKCLreCribMgi27wodpV-Wev9y84KO2Ehk15Ap0L_Jb4AQ_nylqY8cfXl79E5x0OXChpbdFKVBqL6pofs/w549-h640/20211008_135256.jpg" width="549" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What I made here is a baby Snaggletooth, worked in Scheepjes Metropolis (1 ball of each in Sevilla, Cota and Karachi) on a 3.5mm hook. I started with ch76 (which is calculated by using the starting chain multiple of (5 x 14 ch) + 6 ch.) I made seven repeats of the pattern, then not only added the dotty border to the top and bottom, but also to the sides too. This was so easy to do: once you have edged the two sides as explained in the pattern, you simply follow Rows 3-6 of the Top and Bottom Edging pattern, adjusting the final 'dot' at the end of Row 3 in order to finish the row correctly. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The finished sample measured approximately 40 x 40cm, perfect for a cushion cover. You can either crochet a back panel, or do as I did and sew the crocheted front cover onto a piece of fabric cut to 42 x 42cm which gives you a 1cm seam allowance. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And here it is, my finished Snaggletooth cushion!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIx5ezMsVoa8rMzNgtmzqgwxkEDokPVvvVotaRvT1Qzo1mHVN2tVje4cTh-mHUUJw5dSzcxI7241Jb3VnswxYpbGDVXx8RudOD1leFm3IhlsKw5_Ujt0tMUe6rwpdUtZdkRl45pdmzG78/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIx5ezMsVoa8rMzNgtmzqgwxkEDokPVvvVotaRvT1Qzo1mHVN2tVje4cTh-mHUUJw5dSzcxI7241Jb3VnswxYpbGDVXx8RudOD1leFm3IhlsKw5_Ujt0tMUe6rwpdUtZdkRl45pdmzG78/w480-h640/20211008_135448.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>Oh OK, just one more picture with Hank Deluxe.

Over 4500 of you have downloaded the free pattern, and lots of you have been kind enough to purchase it, so I thank you ALL for joining in with this wonderful community project. This is my first MAL and you have made me feel very welcome! Yes, this week is about tassels and pompoms BUT before we get to that, there's important business to attend to: I have seen lots of colours flying around as you all discuss your fabulous projects. So it's time to sing your praises and showcase just a few of the Snaggletooth WIPs I have spotted on the socials. And just so you know,</span><span style="font-family: times;"> every single Snaggletooth being lovingly created out there makes me smile the biggest smile.</span><span style="font-family: times;"> Please keep on sharing your work! Next week as it's the final week of this MAL I'll be showing you some of the amazing finished Snaggletooths I have spotted already! (But please don't worry or stress that some are finished! This is definitely a project to take at your own pace... it's just that some people caught the Snaggletooth bug big time and couldn't put it down!)💖</span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUhR2XPmD1rin1llNjMiF9SY8QyttsLzCUd2MVx-eERhLj5RdlATqXVhVN85ToHF0RgQNRY0q0u5RbLmcE3avzRMqjQwsESD-Drm9hkcflxFUf9JAY0KgHqzdddiKUcZJEw0vRfcTnpZY/s1067/20210930_101026.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1067" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUhR2XPmD1rin1llNjMiF9SY8QyttsLzCUd2MVx-eERhLj5RdlATqXVhVN85ToHF0RgQNRY0q0u5RbLmcE3avzRMqjQwsESD-Drm9hkcflxFUf9JAY0KgHqzdddiKUcZJEw0vRfcTnpZY/s320/20210930_101026.jpg" width="320" /></b></span></a></div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Firstly, how about some sneaky Snaggletooth-at-work loveliness by Fiona @kellyskrochet76 in Chunky Monkey over on IG... </b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioXcEKNjJFwGUZRCC29hdZ3ZhIVPP8t25cn3FWDobDAIx0bcHs11OE0w7VVfcHOpsYp7lWES6T2N9lvZ-dEa7KHuwYaVf2ZlywZxgNnjlofgJxgRyu-2wLbU6chYc30XSrDi24gCp-jTY/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1068" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioXcEKNjJFwGUZRCC29hdZ3ZhIVPP8t25cn3FWDobDAIx0bcHs11OE0w7VVfcHOpsYp7lWES6T2N9lvZ-dEa7KHuwYaVf2ZlywZxgNnjlofgJxgRyu-2wLbU6chYc30XSrDi24gCp-jTY/w320-h320/20210930_140026.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: xx-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>... and check out the border colour she has chosen!!

I know this is a new style of crochet for some of you, and I know some of you were understandably apprehensive about it, as it looks quite tricky. But then you gave it a try, and you should all be so proud of yourselves for diving in feet first! It's not hard once you've got the rhythm, and remember the pattern gives lots of helpful hints.

You might remember last time I mentioned when we started the swatch to make Row 1 into the single back loop on the back of each chain? Well, this is where it pays off, as we work Row 1 of the Edging into each of the 33 chains of the starting chain. It just makes for a good edge, which looks like it's part of the design, not just an edge added on which it can do when working into a starting chain.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, as before, with RS facing, join Yarn C with a ss into the first chain on the bottom edge, then follow the pattern as above.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6bPQHTTHrAgHzl92-nOTKg__HEphdeS6lfjnJnv2yoh_Xqdn3OIyJemNTTT3jMlv2B7SmfEjpbbOzH4sqHldh8D6DpeZXUKHBviSz3RlucqW9YMnfx3dfnRnVnjJmUHiQYdYM5UqHxY/s2048/20210729_122012.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6bPQHTTHrAgHzl92-nOTKg__HEphdeS6lfjnJnv2yoh_Xqdn3OIyJemNTTT3jMlv2B7SmfEjpbbOzH4sqHldh8D6DpeZXUKHBviSz3RlucqW9YMnfx3dfnRnVnjJmUHiQYdYM5UqHxY/w400-h300/20210729_122012.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Now we have a lovely top and bottom edging done, we need to edge the two 'raw' sides, where the yarn has been carried up every 2 rows. To be honest, on some designs I like to keep this visible but here we're going to cover up these sides.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Side Edging</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Very simply, each side is edged with 2 rows of dc stitches in Yarn C. It makes a neat edge, as you work your dc stitches OVER ANY LOOSE LOOPS of yarn carried up the side of the work. The only issue is that getting your stitch count correct when working into the row-ends can be tricky. You want your work to lie flat, without rucking, or without being too tight. Some people choose a different hook size, some have a tried and tested 'formula' to get the drape just right.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, with all that said, this is my formula, it may not work for you so feel free to work to your own, or have an experiment to see what works for you.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I always use the same size hook as for the main pattern.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">First Side</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With RS facing, join Yarn C with ss in first row-end on one side. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Row 1 (RS) </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ch1, 1dc in same row-end as ss, 1dc in each of next 3 row-ends, *skip next row-end, 1dc in each of next 4 row-ends; rep from * to last 2 sts, skip next row-end, 1dc in each of last 2 row-ends, turn.

You may have seen different versions, one in particular which you change colour every row. Personally, I don't get on well with that version as I am too impatient to sew in all the ends! The version I love is INSET crochet, or the 2-row technique, as you carry the yarn up the side of the work without fastening it off. If you're new to this 2-row style mosaic crochet, or need a refresher, I’m going to talk you through how to make a small swatch, with some photos to get you started. OK I'm not a professional photographer but I hope my rustic step-by-step pictures help!</span></span></p></span><span style="font-family: times;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">TOP TIPS</p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span>Snaggletooth pattern works to a multiple of (x 14 ch) + 6 ch for the starting chain, e.g. ch34 or ch48 or ch62 etc. This ‘formula’ will work whether you are going for a big or small Snaggletooth, or something in between! </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Once you have calculated your starting chain multiple and made your chain, always start the pattern from Main Pattern Row 1, working 1dc in the second chain from the hook and in each ch to the end. You will therefore have one fewer dc than chains made at the end of Row 1. E.g. if you ch34, you will have 33 dc at the end of Row 1. If you ch48, you will end up with 47 dc, and so on.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Make two rows in Yarn A, then two rows in Yarn B, and so on, switching colour at the end of the second row of the colour every time (this is always on the WS of the work). Leave the yarn not in use hanging at the side of the work, ready to carry up the side of the work and switch two rows later.

Tassels and pompoms will be on our minds in Week 3, and Week 4 will wrap everything up with looking at different colourways, yarn weights, and how easy it is to adjust the pattern to make Snaggletooth your own!</span></span></p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">DESIGN INSPIRATION</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">This is a design which encompasses everything I love about crochet: It’s bold, it’s fun, it’s geometric and cool, and most of all, it’s far easier to make than it looks!

I found this gorgeous yellow and black coat in a charity shop and HAD to try and make a crochet houndstooth design. Much chart work and frustration followed, until I got it! I’m so pleased with its simplicity and style.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaYpjijWVIzoDjIL9TgE4FOd-ueE_JgnHY1yldBj4lP83T12gJmM79RfBD1-2t3RkZBcCO3uhdTSCJNxH4DV28DRNOLXIbQ6ubFA8MKwp-nXXrObUSTkRPt0e1qAa-lTvxOiGOKNdTIT0/s2048/snaggletoothandme.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaYpjijWVIzoDjIL9TgE4FOd-ueE_JgnHY1yldBj4lP83T12gJmM79RfBD1-2t3RkZBcCO3uhdTSCJNxH4DV28DRNOLXIbQ6ubFA8MKwp-nXXrObUSTkRPt0e1qAa-lTvxOiGOKNdTIT0/w300-h400/snaggletoothandme.jpg" width="300" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><br /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span><p style="font-weight: bold;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">And the name comes from my cat Hank Deluxe as he pulls some really excellent snaggletooth faces.

Long time no ramble. So, as many of you wanted this pattern for my easy 2-tone diagonal granny square, I thought I'd give you the pattern here. To make the big crazy technicoloured blanket for my niece, I used a 5mm hook and an assortment of random DK yarn in clashy colours. Once I'd made as many squares as I needed, I simply slip stitched them together to join, before adding a border. Hank Deluxe approves... I think??</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvdVX1m1oDs5HA95EWE2wk5M6Tt9gTRIG6hS8t8A8VHr-VpPuIKbEq3QGmAGLpQ7jl7IXiGpy4gyFcYEvbPSucnXzNvcvLNqPMuSeVsec60eMioo3U22YGXI6RE1Kjv3JzxAxvm5ucSvI/s2048/20210622_165004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1644" data-original-width="2048" height="514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvdVX1m1oDs5HA95EWE2wk5M6Tt9gTRIG6hS8t8A8VHr-VpPuIKbEq3QGmAGLpQ7jl7IXiGpy4gyFcYEvbPSucnXzNvcvLNqPMuSeVsec60eMioo3U22YGXI6RE1Kjv3JzxAxvm5ucSvI/w640-h514/20210622_165004.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Here is the basic pattern, which uses UK crochet terms. Once you get to Round 5, you will be on a roll, so it's easy to add further rounds to make your squares bigger using exactly the same method. I think I made these squares using 8 rounds.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Hints and tips</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">1.

Each square is made of 2 colours, both yarns stay connected throughout. Leave the yarn not in use dangling down, ready to pick up again later. Fasten off both yarns when square is complete.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">3. Blocking each square before joining makes for a beautiful crisp finish. Join squares together by placing 2 squares with RS tog and slip stitch into outside stitches on edge only.</span></span></p><p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Pattern Instructions</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">With Yarn A, ch4, join with ss into first ch to form a ring. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Round 1 (RS):</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Ch3 (counts as first tr throughout), 2tr into ring, ch2, 3tr into ring, ch1.

So versatile! With a single design 'recipe' you can happily fall down the mosaic rabbit hole into as many project variations as you please! In this blog I'm going to talk you through how to adapt one of my most popular designs, New Kid On The Block, from this rather beautiful throw into a funky and useful tote bag.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUbIHmB0dNh0vRtyAyDKpLT7fKJQ-cPmjIbSHEr93xuc5rn4R9_XcwfalHVWc0VTUIwc9i4zsz36ADS-qGNEkMO2uqOsdxR9XCaBEFuMvFwqvwjpzO4MLzvuYFIKC4rLybtbBZrytA-ls/s2048/NewKid%25231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUbIHmB0dNh0vRtyAyDKpLT7fKJQ-cPmjIbSHEr93xuc5rn4R9_XcwfalHVWc0VTUIwc9i4zsz36ADS-qGNEkMO2uqOsdxR9XCaBEFuMvFwqvwjpzO4MLzvuYFIKC4rLybtbBZrytA-ls/w480-h640/NewKid%25231.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">I absolutely love this design, it's based on a teacup my Granny owned in the 1970s. She loved her cups of tea and the teacup had to be the right one. Very discerning, Granny Rosa was! This beautiful blue and off-white throw shows off the blocky pattern really well. Then it dawned on me that this pattern would look equally fun as a tote bag. Practical, sturdy and simple to make, this bag gets a lot of good comments when it goes with me to the supermarket. Maybe it's the bright orange happy vibes... </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHQxh4xcLBKJTSC4jYzlh0-Qq4_Act5AmBDIbe4RMLBrfyCWxRYYcC23HBcpXV0P7vSSO0joMXA5Yr7I0KGJKq1LCLngah-28R2RkGDeJkurPSlI6WRVeWMU7U86donM2oy98dFijQ4G0/s2048/NewKidToteBagTeaPotBook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHQxh4xcLBKJTSC4jYzlh0-Qq4_Act5AmBDIbe4RMLBrfyCWxRYYcC23HBcpXV0P7vSSO0joMXA5Yr7I0KGJKq1LCLngah-28R2RkGDeJkurPSlI6WRVeWMU7U86donM2oy98dFijQ4G0/w640-h480/NewKidToteBagTeaPotBook.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">So, let's get making. To start, you'll need to get your hands on the New Kid On The Block Throw pattern (available in my Etsy Shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1000447854/crochet-pattern-new-kid-on-the-block?ref=shop_home_active_4&crt=1" target="_blank">here</a> and Ravelry Shop <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/new-kid-on-the-block-throw" target="_blank">here</a>). Next, follow the stages below. Remember you can use any yarn, any colours you like for your tote. This is a great stash-busting proj. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">I used:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>Scheepjes Colour Crafter</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Yarn A: The Hague (1256) x 2 balls</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Yarn B Zandvoort (1218) x 2 balls</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>Hook Size</b> 3.5mm (or a hook to suit your yarn, you are aiming for a fairly tight weave to your crochet fabric so it is dense and strong)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>Other Materials</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">You will need lining fabric if you wish to line your bag (I recommend you do, just to make it stronger). A cotton/calico fabric works well. You could use an old sheet, pillow case, or even an old item of clothing if you want to upcycle.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">I used upholstery jute webbing for my handles (2 lengths of approx. 75cm, but you can make handle length to suit you). Again, to upcycle, you could use old fabric or leather belts as handles, or sew simple long strips of fabric into a 'tube' on the wrong side, then turn to the right side to cover the raw edges. Get creative!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Needle, thread and pins (a sewing machine is useful but not essential, you can hand-sew if you prefer. I machine sewed mine for strength) </span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>Other Info</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Panels are worked from the bottom up. Pattern works to a multiple of (x 12 chain) + 4 chain for your starting chain (e.g. ch40 or ch52 etc), then work the pattern from Foundation row 1. Your starting chain length will be approximately the width of your bag, so make your chain to a length to suit you.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>How to make your bag</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: large;">To make the front and back panels (make 2 identical panels):</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">With Yarn A, ch76 (or length to suit, using the multiple above).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Now follow the pattern from Foundation row 1, (you will have 75 dc at the end of row 1 for my version). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Foundation rows 2-6: Ch1 (does not count as a st throughout), 1dc in each st to end, turn. [75 dc per row]. Change colour to Yarn B at end of Foundation row 6.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Now follow the Main Pattern from rows 1-22 once, then work from rows 3-22 a further 4 times. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Finish with 6 rows of dc sts in Yarn A to make the top edge of the bag. Fasten off, weave in ends. Note that these 2 panels are NOT edged like the throw.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>Assembly</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Measure the height and width of one of the crocheted panels before you start sewing. Cut out 2 identical pieces of lining fabric to the same width as the panel, but add 2cm to the height for the top seam. Put to one side.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>Panels</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Place the 2 crocheted panels together, with the wrong side facing out. Tack or pin along side, bottom and other side edges, then hand or machine sew around these 3 sides with a 1cm seam allowance. To add depth to the bag if required, make box corners: With wrong side still facing out, pinch each bottom corner to make a triangle, so the side seam sits directly on top of the bottom seam. With seams opened out to reduce bulk, sew a straight line across, 2cm in from the corner to make a triangle. Sew the loose corners to the bottom of the bag to hold in place. Turn to right side out.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>Lining</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Join the 2 pieces of lining fabric togther in the same way as the crocheted panels, including the box corners if necessary. Note that a wider seam (e.g 1.5cm) might be necessary as the lining will be slightly narrower to fit inside the bag. Check to get this right before sewing. Once sewn, and with wrong side still facing out, fold down and iron a 2cm hem around the top edge onto the wrong side. Insert the lining into the bag with right side showing inside. The lining should sit just under the top edge so it is not visible on the outside. Pin or tack into place, then neatly sew it into place, approx. 0.5cm under the top edge.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b>Handles</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">If you are using jute webbing like me, fold each end under by approx. 2cm so no raw edges are visible. Pin each handle into position on the outside of the bag, at a length to suit you. My handles measure 3cm down from the top edge of the bag, but of course, adjust to suit you. Sew handles securely in place to finish. If you don't want the handles visible on the front and back of the bag, sew them to the inside instead.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">And there you have it, one absolutely fabulous original tote bag! Don't forget, now you know how to adapt this pattern, you could use it to make lots of other things, such as cushion covers, rugs, all sorts of geometric fun...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Happy Mosaic Crocheting!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Esme x</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"> <br /><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;"><span><!--more--></span></span><p></p><p><br /></p>Red Sparrow Crochethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07837085894317560074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775407945552044534.post-4577874426532003152020-09-16T09:43:00.015-07:002021-09-06T08:12:36.344-07:00A Gift for You! Free pattern and colouring project!<p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><b>Hi there everyone! Such exciting news today, about an amazing designer-maker-illustrator called Florencia. You have to check her out! She goes by the name Ullvuna, and she is wonderful! Once I'd seen her work (I'm talking stunning tapestry crochet and she's also rather well-known in the pin loom world for her work, including a book called 100 Pin Loom Squares), I had to get involved.

<b style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Hola amantes de las lanas! Os traigo un patron gratuito! Se trata de una manta realizada con cuadrados bastante simples que he hecho para el cumpleaños de mi querida hermana Emma hace unas semanas. A Emma le encantó y como ha recibido tanta apreciación el las redes socials he decidido escribir el patron y compartirlo con todos vosotros gratuitamente. Por que soy así de simpatica! Estoy disfrutando mucho regalando a las personas queridas un objeto hecho a mano, asia que vamos a darnos las manos y a sentir el amor compartido del crochet. Este puede ser un proyecto genial para gastar lanas variadas por que se puede usar cualquier lana DK. Os recomiendo bloquear los cuadrados antes de unirlos para que quede mejor. Este patrón en original usa terminos ingleses (UK). Si haces una manta y quieres compartir tu obra de arte, usa el hashtag #emmasthrow para que todos la podamos ver. </span></b></div>

Here's a free pattern for you! This is a simple motif-based throw I made for my lovely sister Emma’s birthday a few weeks ago. She really loved it, and it got so much love on the social medias that I decided to write it up for you all as a freebie. Cos I'm just so nice! I am still revelling in the warm glow which comes from giving a loved one a handmade gift, so let's all hold hands and feel the shared crochet love. It would be a great stash-busting project as any DK yarn can be used. I strongly recommend you block the squares before joining to make a nice crisp finish. This pattern uses UK crochet terms. If you do make one and want to share your masterpiece, use #emmasthrow so we can all admire! Happy crocheting!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>I appear have arrived in an amazing crafting community! How did this happen?! From being a slightly weirdo kid at school, I now find myself surrounded by beautiful people who are kind, creative, inclusive and just bloody LOVELY. Thank you! So much! As a little gesture of love to you all, here is my Forest Shawl pattern for you. It's one of my most loved designs ever, it's so simple and yet so effective, my favourite kind of crochet. Because deep down, in many respects, I'm a bit of a lazy-arse. A bit like Hank Deluxe. But he's a cat so he has the perfect excuse. Plus he has the advantage of not having to respond to household emergencies like dusty skirting boards. Lucky cat.</b></span></div>

Ana's version is made in Scheepjes Secret Garden yarn which is pretty scrummy with its silk blend.

There was a lot of maths involved in this design to create the shape, maybe a bit of swearing over too many numbers, but in the end I'm so pleased with the simple black and white stripes, and of course the 25 pompoms just make it so fun. You can adapt this to make it less pompommy and more urban chic if you like- I actually made one in light and dark blue stripes with no pompoms and have lived in it ever since. It gets comments!

Sounds like an oxymoron, I know, but it's really happening! Forget crochet doilies for a minute (I do love a pretty doily, just not right now) and come with me on an adventure into geometry and style and contemporary wonderment... If you're a crochet fan and haven't heard of mosaic crochet, then you're in for a treat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The beauty of mosaic crochet is in its ability to draw shapes and lines and patterns, whilst being a very simple technique once you've grasped the basics. The other great bonus is that by using 2 strands of yarn which you keep attached for the entire make, there are very few ends to sew in, something which can drive makers to utter exasperation (and yes I am speaking from experience of end-weaving fatigue!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">So here is my latest mosaic design, this is the Diamond Heart throw, a real labour of love. It's made from some really stunning yarn: Scheepjes Colour Crafter is superb value for money given that it is incredibly soft and 'grown up' for an acrylic. The range of colours Scheepjes produce is just breathtaking too. This Diamond Heart uses shades Tynaalo and Verviers, but I am already plotting another version in a deep mustary yellow background with a deep grey diamond running through it. Heavenly, don't you think?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The hours and hours of sitting and stitching, well there's plenty of time to muse on words and potential names for the design coming off the hook. The diamond part of the name was easy, but what about the heart? There are no hearts to be seen! So, the name is borrowed from a beautiful song by Marissa Nadler, a singer who I find so mysterious and beguiling. I got to thinking about diamond hearts and I came to the conclusion that maybe we all need a diamond heart? A beautiful sparkling heart, full of love and tolerance, but also resilient and strong. (As a mum to teenagers, I feel my heart needs to have all these qualities on a daily basis!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So, without further ado, here's my pattern. Hope you enjoy it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">You will need</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Any cotton yarn you fancy (pic shows Scheepjes Catona 'Royal Orange')</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A 3.5mm crochet hook</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A cheap thin metal bangle</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A bell decoration, or anything to hang in the centre</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Some twine/ribbon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It's easy to crochet around something like a bangle, just take it slow to keep your stitches even.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">...and there you have it! Just tie your bell to the twine or ribbon, and attach the twine/ribbon around the bangle at the top where you made the final 2 ss. If you want, you can starch these, or paint on a thin layer of 50% water/50% PVA glue to the back to give them a bit more structure.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Enjoy, have fun, try different yarns (maybe some glittery yarn oooh there's my next make right there!), experiment with colours, more stitches, y'know, just enjoy the playing around. It's too early for me to even... urh... say happy Christmas, but for now, happy calm-before-the-festive-storm. xxx</span>Red Sparrow Crochethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07837085894317560074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775407945552044534.post-86644667297718962502018-09-24T07:42:00.000-07:002018-10-02T04:03:27.799-07:00Hexagons are the new circles... or something...<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Playing around with yarn, creating, letting the mind have a wander, it's all good isn't it? My youngest has recently been studying tessellation at school, and I thought it was such a cool topic that I joined in too. Circles becoming a hexagon, well, I was unaware they could do that before! And the yarn here in my new rug design 'Blue Lagoon' is super-lovely to work with. It's a heavy duty cotton by Hoooked called Spesso. There is of course no give in it whatsoever so it's tough work with a 10mm hook. Calloused hands, pah, I do not care. I have a wonderful new yarn in my life (and a rather fabulous rug too)...</span></div>
