Crochet Star Blanket

So proud of myself for making these star blanket for the first time, I thought it was hard but I am wrong in fact its enjoyable to make.

I used 5mm hook and any 8 ply yarn. Begin with magic ring, and work with puff stitch.
Diagram is easy to follow if you know the symbol of crochet.

I am so pleased and happy that a friend of mine who is a first time grandmother of beautiful twins loves it <3

I found a pattern from a pinterest and it's only a diagram and photo, I just work from there and figured it out myself and I am glad it turned out so beautiful.

Chart from Pinterest

Please check my Pinterest for more crochet ideas <3

This is only an idea and inspiration as I don't have the right to write a pattern as this is not my design but I love working on it. 

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Shell Granny Square

Hello everyone, I'm here again :)

After finishing some orders, busy with kids as usual :) I came up with something, easy but beautiful pattern and I named it SHELL GRANNY SQUARE.

I was browsing Pinterest and looking for cover for my Coffee table, husband bought it for me, I meant for us lol,  I can't find anything, although there are some beautiful patterns for table runner out there still can't find one.

Anyway, I am a member of one of the crochet group over Facebook and there was a lady posting a beautiful, yummylicious biscuit if I am not mistaken, and it really catches my eyes and decided to turn into a beautiful crochet. I really thank her for posting it <3.

*Note: 

  I am weaving the ends in this part or you can leave it to the end if you like.

  

  When you weave the first row, don't close it to the end.

Crochet C2C Hello Kitty Cushion

 

While searching on Pinterest, I came across with this Perler Bead Pattern by Kandi, and found this cute Hello Kitty picture graph. And I decided to make a cushion out of it using c2c crochet.
16 rows down and 18 rows horizontal.

The size of my cushion are 15inch width and 13 inch length.

                                         You can search some other pins in my Pinterest.


The  materials I used, 5mm hook, 8ply knitting yarn ( brand name) with my  choice of colours
Pink, black, yellow, white and purple for the edging and the back. Stuffing from my old pillow :)

 For my weaving, I choose the front and put all excess yarn to the back of your cushion using yarn needle and work from there, I just tied it up and cut the yarn.

For the back, using purple colour, I made another c2c same size as the front and I sew it together using sc stitch.

For the edging I used shell pattern

In the end of sewing the cushion,

Ch1, count as sc, *skip 1sc, 4dc next st., skip next st., ss to the next stitch, repeat * all around. Fasten off and you're Done!

Hope you all like it, If you do, I want to see your creations of c2c also :)

Happy Hooking!!!

My simple spring wreath

Hello everyone, its me again, after the long school holiday, im back :)

spring is around the corner , I thought I would make something colourful with flowers on it and I represent my simple spring wreath or could be a wall art for your bedroom, lounge or anywhere.

This is a simple thing to do, only you must have patience in sewing the flowers onto the ring.

All you need are:

5mm hook 

4.5mm hook

Variety of yarns, depending on your color choice with a 8ply

scissor

yarn needle

thread needle

different kinds of buttons

Ring gal (250mm)

I cant find a foam, so I decided to try this wire :)

work sc around the ring

until you cant see much the ring, doesnt matter, flowers will cover it anyway.

work sc for making the loop to hang your wreath.

FOR THE FLOWERS DECORATION:

I used a two simple flower pattern, dont make rose as its not good, heavy for your ring.

There are beautiful flowers in Pinterest if you would like to search or you can use my example flower pattern.

Magic ring, ch2

9dc into the ring and join with slip stitch

*ch3, (3tr same st, ch3) 

sl st next st, sc next st, repeat* until you have 5 petals

slip stitch to close, and just add some button to your liking.

Hope you all like it.  Enjoy making this simple wreath
