Pocahontas scarf

The incredible feather pattern of Tejiendo Perú is so popular, but many people wonder what to do with them besides using them in dream catchers or book markers. A lovely woman named Rosena Beatty commented me the idea to use them in a scarf instead of tassels, I loved it and started inmediately to work on it. First, I chose the stitches and the colors, then while I was crocheting I could not stop thinking about Pocahontas. So, call this pattern: "Pocahontas Scarf".

Rio Celeste crochet blanket free pattern

The pattern consists in 6 different granny squares that use simple filet crochet to create a fun blanket. The name of the blanket is inspired in Rio Celeste, a river in Costa Rica. It is notable for its distinctive turquoise coloration. Notes: Every round is started with standing or chainless double crochet, you can learn how to make it here. If you prefer you can replace it with ch 2 and will turn as pretty. The secret is in starting the rounds in the corner to make the join less noticeable. This pattern includes a 5 x 6 layout based in 5 colors but there is an additional 6 x 6 layout with focus in the granny squares types in the pdf version on Lovecrafts , Ravelry and Etsy . It has no color on it so you can print it and color it as you want or use it to plan your blanket. The squares were joined using the mattress stitch sewing. Materials: Size 3/light weight yarn. I used 1080 yards (990 meters) in total of Star by Oren Bayan 196 yards / 180 meters (60 gra...

How to crochet a striped granny square with no holes

The pattern for a solid granny square with no holes is pretty simple, so before that I’ll teach you some tips on how to change the colors so you can get a pretty striped granny square. No holes, almost imperceptible start of the rows, no obvious color changes. Materials: Your favorite yarn in various colors. I used DK/Light worsted acrylic yarn The crochet hook you normally use for your chosen yarn. In my case 4.00 mm crochet hook Stitch markers Scissors Tapestry needle Starting your rounds/rows Instead of 3 chains, start your rounds/rows with “chainless double crochet” or “2 stacked single crochet”. Chainless double crochet: Step 1: pull up the loop on the hook to the height of a normal double crochet. Then, while holding the loop in your hook with your thumb finger, move your hook to the back so now the loop will be “over” the hook, something similar to a regular yarn over. Step 2: Still holding the loop with your thumb, insert your hook in the first stit...

Fairy Garden blanket - Free crochet pattern

In June, I started playing with some leftover yarn I had in my stash and made some of these granny squares. After a few months, I decided to crochet a blanket for my goddaughter. However, as the baby's due date approached, I hadn't finished all the granny squares. So, I ended up giving her my Sofia blanket, which looks just as beautiful with a matching sweater and hat. Later, in December, I picked up this project again with the idea of using only what I had at home. That meant I had to adjust my plans and colors as I went along. Earlier this year I decided to share the pattern for free here. So let's get started. This pattern requires at least 4 colors to highlight the flower design but you can add as many as you want. For my Fairy garden blanket I used 6 main colors for the flowers, cream for the joining and border and a mix of leftovers for the rows 5 and 6 in the granny squares. Estimated quantities required if you use 4 colors: Flowers: 140 grams Row 5 (leaves): 90 g...
