Add this Pattern to Your Ravelry Queue

Seeing the cutest headband on Tree^3, I couldn’t leave it as the only pattern in the series. She is so stinkin’ cute I had to have a bottom to match. Although I had veered away from making tutu items, this one sealed the deal. If you have never worked with tulle or made a tutu, not to worry, your hook will help you through it all!

Materials

Small amount of Worsted Weight yarn - I have used Red Heart with Love in the photos shown.
6″ wide tulle rolls (single or multiple colors) 30-60yds depending on length, size, and fluffiness desired
<Note: In the photo, I used roughly 50 yards of 2 colors combined hooking in the Fdc where round 1 is FPhdc only leaving all connected to BPhdc empty>
H-8 (5mm), I-9 (5.5mm), J-10 (6mm) Hook (whatever it takes to obtain gauge)
Stitch Marker
Tapestry Needle
Scissors

Sizing:

Hook & FO Sizing - this goes with gauge — it is very important to check gauge on a fitted item!

~17″+/43cm circumference newborn size- fsc 60
~18″+/45cm circumference 0-3mo infant size - fsc 64
~19″+/45.5cm circumference 3-9mo infant size - fsc 68
~20″+/50cm circumference 12-18mo - fsc 72
~21″+/53cm circumference 24mo - fsc 76

<Note: Since post stitches make the pattern stretchy, and the puff hearts allow stretch as well, with each sizing, you can actually stretch it enough to fit 1.5-2″ up, which means you can get a lot of wear out of a single sizing. ex. My 20mo fits in ~18″+ stretched written w/o stretch for 0-3mo>

Take your rolls of tulle, unroll and measure the baby’s waist to ankle area or however long you desire the tutu to be, then double the length before you cut. Measure out and cut the rest of the tulle you think you’ll need (I used about 50yards for my 20mo’s tutu). Take 2 strips of the tulle and fold it in half, insert your hook from one side of an FDC to the other that has Round1 FPhdc (they will be raised compared to the BPhdc), put the center of the tulle over the hook and draw the loop through the post, put down your hook, reach through the loop of tulle and pull the tulle tail through to secure it around the post. Go all the way around, and if you would like more fluff, you can also attach tulle from the inside of the tutu hugs & kisses ring of the tutu using the BPhdc FDC posts.

~♥ Eternal Love Hugs & Kisses Infinity Scarf X♥X♥ ♥~

Eternal Love Hugs & Kisses Infinity Scarf -- Free Crochet Pattern | The Crochet Lounge™ After creating the infinity scarf MCAL, I doubled back to make the Eternal Love Headband free crochet pattern in my size and made it with matching border color to my scarf. I simply LOVE it, and now my Music child also wants a set She managed to love just the wrist warmers and held off when her little sister had a headband and matching Eternal Love Hugs & Kisses Newborn-Toddler Princess Tutu made, but now she wants one of EVERYTHING! Ha. Isn’t it great we can teach the wee ones to hook along side us? 😀

I am guessing that the wrist warmers with optional ruffles will be published next along with the tutus! Come join us and share your creations with The Crochet Lounge™ fans on

Round 3:

Eternal Love Hugs & Kisses Infinity Scarf Round 3 Demystified -- Free Crochet Pattern | The Crochet Lounge™

What in the world does Round 3 stitch placement mean?!? To clarify with Cathy S.’s photo, since she used 3 different colors off the bat, you can really see the stitching.
x = sc
o = ch1
T with slash = dc
so you are sc into the middle of the heart, ch1, dc into the space right before the next heart, ch1, dc into the very first space you skipped from the heart you started at, ch1, sc into the center of the next puff heart.
The red arrows here indicate skipped dc of round 1. While pattern calls for the dc round to be the same color as the border, it really is up to individual taste on color choices
If you have other questions, please feel free to send your close up photos and questions. We can explore them together!

Chunky Jacob’s Ladder Convertible Cowl & Scarf - Free Crochet Pattern

Chunky Jacob’s Ladder Convertible Cowl & Scarf

I’ve always been enamored with the looks of the crochet Jacob’s Ladder stitch. You can find some of my Jacob’s Ladder free pattern collection on this Pinterest Board. Short of Clare (Bobwilson123)’s cap tutorial and the beret, I simply don’t have the time to hook up a throw/afghan sized project. It dawned on me a few weeks ago that I simply must make a cowl or a scarf that ladders.

As if that wasn’t enough, my dream topped it off with the idea of a convertible cowl & scarf — now we were talking. While color changing in a Jacob’s Ladder made the stitching pop, I also wanted to try it as a single colored scarf, and a chunky one at that! This Chunky Jacob’s Ladder Convertible Cowl & Scarf pattern was born. The question remained whether it would be a ladders only or also a 2 way scarf.

Stringy and ladders convertible cowls and scarves OH MY!

Needless to say, you’ll be presented with 2 options to finish the scarf and many more if you decide to make it with color change (it is harder with a large hook and double strands, so you may want to take that into consideration before you jump into color changing.

Jacob's Ladder Convertible Cowl & Scarf - Free Crochet Pattern Collage | The Crochet Lounge™

Materials

Worsted Weight yarn - the sample shows the ladder done in Red Heart with Love yarn - you will use roughly 200 yards on 25 rounds or upto 325 yards of the skein depending on the option you choose
Q hook (15mm)

Stitches Used

ch, slst, standing double crochet/chainless start double crochet, double crochet

Chain (ch) - yo (yarn over), pull through loop on hook

Single crochet (sc) - insert hook in indicated stitch, yo draw up a loop, yo draw through 2

Slip Stitch (slst) - insert hook in indicated stitch, yo draw through stitch as well as the loop on hook

Double Crochet (dc) – yo, insert hook in indicated st (stitch), yo draw up a loop (3 loops on hook), yo draw through 2 loops, yo draw through 2 loops (1 loop on hook)

Chainless Starting Double Crochet (Standing dc) - video by Mooglyblog You can replace all ch3 starts of each round with the Standing dc to make the scarf look pretty and seamless!

Gauge

1 stitches and 1.5 rows = 1 inch

Pattern

The Entire Pattern is worked with DOUBLE STRANDS!

Round 1:
Ch 60, slst join to the first chain, make sure you do not twist the chain while joining.

Round 2:
Ch3, dc in next ch, ch10, skp 10 ch,
*dc in next 2 ch, ch10,
Rpt from *, slst join to top of beginning ch3

<Note: You can use a standing double crochet at the beginning of each round and you won’t be able to tell where the start is!>

Round 3: Ch3, dc in next dc, ch10, skp next ch10 space, *dc in next 2 dc, ch10, rpt from *, slst join to top of beginning ch3

Row 4-25 (or 35): Repeat Round 3

Finish off if you want a convertible chain and dc cowl with option of changing it to a Jacob’s Ladder Scarf/Jacob’s Ladder Cowl using a Large Brooch to close off / hold the 5 Jacob’s Ladder loops in place or create a chain or I-Cord as instructed below to do the same.

At 25 rounds, you can see the length of the scarf should you choose to wear it as a scarf and see if you like it. With or without the ladder strung, the scarf is about the same length; others prefer a longer scarf at 35 rounds (shown in photos hanging from the tree branch and worn by my daughter.

Chain or I-Cord to hold the 5 Jacobs Ladder Loops:

You can either make a 120 chain cord to finish off or an I-Cord and string loosely through the 5 Jacobs Ladder

If you would like a pure Jacob’s Ladder Cowl/Scarf, continue with Ladder Only Option:

Ladder Only Option: This will create a permanent Jacob’s Ladder Scarf/Jacob’s Ladder Cowl

String up the Ladder by taking a ch10 spc of foundation chain, twisting it to form a loop then insert your hook into the loop, *yo with the next ch10 one round up, draw through the loop, rpt from * until you get to the top - use a safety pin or stitch marker to hold the loop in place and create the ladder in the other 4 ch10 sections.

Once you are ready to move forward, insert your hook back into the loop where you slst joined round 25

Round 26:
Ch3, dc in next dc, ch4, remove the place holder of the Jacob’s ladder loop, slst into the ladder loop to secure, ch4,
*dc in next 2 dcs, ch4, remove the place holder of the Jacob’s ladder loop, slst inot the ladder loop to secure, ch4,
Rpt from *,
Slst to beginning ch3, cut a 12″ tail, weave in ends (you can split the 2 strands and weave in different directions to secure, or split the yarn if you are using chunky weight).

How to wear your Chunky Jacob’s Ladder Scarf/Cowl:

Without the ladder strung:

1) You can wear it as a loopy scarf
2) You can put your arm through the center of the long tube and slip it over your head as a cowl

With Jacob’s Ladder:

1) You can wear it as a Jacob’s Ladder scarf (other photos in the left collage frame)
2) You can put your arm through the center of the long tube and slip it over your head as a Jacob’s Ladder Cowl (large photo in the right of the collage)

What’s your favorite way of wearing this project? I would love to see photos!

Moogly Pattern Round-Up Extravaganza the Saga

moogly Pattern Round-Up Extravaganza started off with Baby and Kids patterns HERE followed by the moogly for Women and moogly for Women Part Deux

Instead of 2 sets of patterns on The Crochet Lounge, I’ve found it to be a bit overwhelming to send you readers on a link hunt, so the photos are broken down into smaller sets. The Moogly for the Home section is the finale!

We are featuring moogly patterns round-up All-Day-Long on facebook, g+, and twitter. So don’t miss out, connect with me

♥ ♥!

moogly for Women - The Sass and Class of Purses, Bags & Clutches

7 Purses, Bags & Clutches | Moogly Free Pattern Round-Up Extravaganza | The Crochet Lounge

In order to keep this succinct as possible, I will eliminate repeating the photos in the link-up and will list the photos a) by photo size, then b) counter clockwise starting from the top right.

1) Mesmerizing Messenger Bag – Are you mesmerized yet? Just looking at the bag makes me want to wave a wand and have it in hand already. I have always been fond of messenger bags and this pattern is simply great for it because it gives off the woven look.

2) Rainbow Pocket Marketbag – Going Green is IN for the crafters and crocheters are front runners crocheting with plarn (plastic bag made into yarn) among other container crochet items like baskets and bags. This is a fantastic little market bag that folds into itself. Crocheters back in the days thought of this system and it is carried on now through moogly’s use of colors. If you’ve made an ASIS (Artfully Simply Infinity Scarf), you may just want to make a matching market bag to look chic at the market!

3) Riley Cross Body Bag – Learn to make this fantastic cross-body bag for yourself or your little one. It incorporates small motifs and sewing a lining - looking to expand your crochet skills? This is one free pattern to have under your belt.

4) Swerve Crochet Clutch – Made in Red Heart Swerve, it’s a defining clutch that shows off the yarn while teaches the addition of crocheting over a button, accessorizing with a leaf motif AND challenges you, should you choose to accept, to line it and finish with a zipper.

5) Tasty Little Chevron Bag – The Chevron is a timeless classic and little bags are IN for the young and the old alike - this bag works up quickly and teaches you the basics of a chevron.

6) Chroma Crochet Bag – Love this little bag with handles. There are quite a number of hats and clothing pieces, even blankets done in this stitch over the years. It’s all about matching items, right? 😉 Now you simply must make this little bag to go along with whatever else you dream up in this stitch as a gift.

7) Devotee Clutch - This little purse is not just a bag.. it’s one that teaches you the art of increasing and decreasing while creating a masterpiece. The resulting shape once you finish sewing the bag together is a trapezoid. Isn’t that exciting?!

Stay tuned for moogly for the Home patterns 😀

Moogly Pattern Round-Up Extravaganza

moogly for Women - The Hooker with the Look

TCL_mooglyforWomen1F

In order to keep this succinct as possible, I will eliminate repeating the photos in the link-up and will list the photos a) by photo size, then b) left column and then right column.

1) Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf (ASIS) – This is one of the most sought out simple scarf patterns since its debut because it is just that elegant a look and just that simple to make! If this is the first time you’ve seen it or if it has been on your WIP list, time to bump it up a notch. Run!

2) Sunset Shawlette – The Sunset Shawlette features the use of fingering weight yarn and a trapezoid shape for ease of wrapping purposes. It is light and airy and deserves a spot on your WIP list.

3) Summer Lace Cowl – It’s summery and lacy. What more can you ask for to show off your hooking skills in the hot summer months of the year?

4) Winter Sunrise Scarf – It looks just like the sunrise and my brain says sunnyside up eggs 😀 This is a refreshing scarf to have for the fall and winter or even cooler nights year round! It is simply a beauty.

5) Diamond Crochet Cowl – Have you ever seen or made hats that have the same look as this cowl? (e.g. Diamond Ridges hat or the Lattice hat - both can be found on ravelry) Even if you haven’t, after making this cowl, you MAY just want to make a hat to go along with it. mmmm. who can resist a set of anything?

6) Autumn Sunset Infinity Scarf – It’s hip, it’s wavy, even the diagram to the right on how to join the blocks together is flowing with waves. Can you see it? This is a good stand alone block and is a great textured baby blanket pattern.

7) Tallulah Waterfall Scarf – The latest scarf addition to moogly was the Tallulah featuring the majestic lace with ruffle combination that gives you the drape for the summertime.

8) Chevron Lace Wrap – If you love the looks of chevrons and knit eyelet lace, you wouldn’t want to miss this fabulous crochet wrap pattern! Black and dainty ready for your evening events.

moogly for Women Part Deux

TCL_mooglypatternroundup_womenaccessoriesF

1) All Grown Up Striped Slouch Hat - moogly readers simply love the idea of a set so much that after they made the All Grown Up Arm Warmers, they suggested a hat to go along and moogly ran with the idea. Wheeeeeee wheeeeeeeeeeeee wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

2) All Mine Crochet Slouch Hat – Slouchy hat with hearts that go around near the brim. This is simply cute for the teens and fabulous addition for any adult. I’m very biased on this pattern because I love purple, and I love hearts 😀

3) Bobble Poof Earflap Hat –Bobbles & Poofs, I’m all over it! This pattern is sized from nb to adult. Do you want to make your family a matching set of wooley hats for snowtime? This is it!

4) Cuddly Cat Crochet Scoodie with Pockets - Do you love kitties? Does it get cold enough to wear scoodies? Combine the two for a cute look! Kids love them, tweens look cute and sophisticated in them and adults fit along with modern day fashion.

5) Timeless Crochet Earrings – Have you ever wanted to crochet yourself some earrings and didn’t know where to start? It only takes 5 yards of size 5 crochet thread and is perfectly coordinated with the Mayan Crop Circles. What? To read the story, you’ll have to visit moogly’s pattern.

6) Chevron Cuff - Make your own stylish chevron cuff. Bangles and cuffs are in, so is DIY that will surely turn heads.

7) All Grown Up Arm Warmers – Ever wanted some basic arm warmers to keep your wrist area warm and maybe even the forearm while you work? This quick to whip up arm warmer will sure be a hit. Moogly has also made these in childsize for your matching convenience.

8) Simply Chunky Crochet Slippers – Have you ever wanted to make yourself or someone a pair of crochet slippers, but wanted it done quickly yet still have the looks? This is it! most get hooked and make more than just one pair. If you are a long time lounger, you would have seen Jodi D.’s pairs when this pattern came out.

9) Pozy Toes Crocheted Slippers – Cozy Pozy Toes! Pamper yourself to a pair of this light weight spring/summer slippers. No fret on the flowers and having to sew them, because this pattern features crochet as you go flowers.

It’s a Pineapple!

Crochet Lattice Shell Wrist Bag,

Opera Bag dubbed Yarn Carrier

With my current Pineapple Lace kick, I was looking to make some small project to keep you entertained before the next Pineapple Lace pattern is due to release. To my surprise, what fell off of my hook w/o planning LOOKED like a PINEAPPLE.

Of course, we all need another yarn carrier (crochet wrist bag), transportation device or a simple small drawstring bag (crochet wrist bag) for knick knacks. If you do make it for smaller items, you may want to line your bag with fabric so your precious items don’t fall through (e.g. hooks).

I did make the blue one in colorway “Swimming Pool Blue” first before it dawned on me that I must make another in the Green and orange/yellow twist.

1.5oz (~42g) Worsted Weight - Medium #4 (UK Aran, AU 10ply)

Crochet Blogger Lucy of Attic24 and Yarndale 2013 — What’s the Connection?

Triangle Bunting Cause for Yarndale 2013 - Lucy of Attic24 | The Crochet Lounge | Inspiring Story

Triangle Bunting Cause Request from Lucy of Attic24

Attic24 - The “Infamous” Crochet Enabler’s Blog

<Edited Sept. to add quotes around the Infamous and added”Crochet Enabler’s” thereafter… Thanks, Green Grannie (see her comment in the comment section) for pointing out this needs major clarification!

To hookers (crocheters), when you are ‘infamously known as an enabler of intricate color changing work’ with emphasis and notoriety focus on the “enabling” part it is definitely a compliment.

If you simply love color changing, ends weaving, and motif joining, then the word would be Famous or Fabulous instead — which, Lucy IS! Now, if you simply can’t stand those things, but because of Lucy’s blog, you have a love-hate relationship with them all then I believe you can chuckle with the word “infamous” as it is quite befitting next to your umpteen multicolored WIPs).>

Lucy of Attic24 is an iconic blogger known in the Crochet World - worldwide. Her work is so well known that the number one yarn supplier online in the UK, Deramores has an inspired yarn pack that crocheters in the U.S. refer to as the Lucy Pack.

If you as to mention Lucy of Attic24 in a large facebook crochet group, you are bound to get the ooo’s and the ahh’s as a reply.

Attic24 is Lucy’s blog about her fiber adventures as well as her other crafty obsessions and life in general. She is best known for her fantastic color selection in her granny stripes work.

Yarndale 2013 - What is it?

Straight from the Yarndale About Us page,

“Held at Skipton Auction Mart, Yarndale is an exciting new venture which aims to celebrate the beauty and diversity of wool, cotton, linen and silk fibres in all their forms. The event will bring together an inspiring mix of retailers, manufacturers, craft workers and artisans from all over the country who are passionate about beautiful yarns, threads and textile treasures.”

As a part of the Yarndale Team, Lucy of Attic24 put out a blog call to her fans to join her in the Bunting Cause for Yarndale 2013. She describes in detail what is needed and how to prepare the granny triangles properly for the buntings. All information can be found here: Attic24 Bunting Cause Request

Furthermore, Lucy has also written about The Yarn Walk direct from Yarndale blog page here: Yarndale - The Yarn Walk

Why is Lucy such a big sensation? Here’s only a glimpse of Lucy’s work and free patterns.

Pineapple Lace Market Bag - The Summer Elegance Edition

The Summer Elegance Edition

Pineapple Lace Market Bag

Pineapple Lace Market Bag | The Summer Elegance Edition | The Crochet Lounge | Free Crochet Sunhat Pattern

I promised a Pineapple Lace blitz and here is the Pineapple Lace Market Bag pattern! If you connect with me on facebook, you would have seen the previews of the lovely Market Bag some of the pattern testers have made.

Did you miss the debut pattern in The Summer Elegance Edition series? It’s the matching Pineapple Lace Sunhat shown in this photo.

Let you in on a little secret… The LESS tails I have to tuck, crochet over and weave, the more EXCITED I am! With that little piece of information in hand, this entire Market Bag pattern including both straps utilizing Option 1 Straps is done in a SINGLE PIECE.

It’s my first bag design pattern and I am absolutely thrilled! Who knew crocheting a bag could be so much fun? 😀 Since I rarely carry purses, and carry a mini wrist bag for diapers, a bag of this size was quite exciting to play with.

It’s time to Go Green!

If you shop at the local farmer’s market or at a regular grocery store, this is a fabulous way to show off your hooking talent AND put it to good use. Your finished object will be ever so loved for a long time to come 😀

Ideas for the bag:

Line it with fabric
Use as a medium sized tote for the gym, the pool, the beach, swimming lessons, ball games, actual market going (after all, it IS a market bag), artisan breads, fruits (fit 12 nice sized fuji apples with room for a few more), extra clothing, etc.
YARN TOTE - with the pineapple lace, it is PERFECT to feed project yarn through and run a few colors at the same time
- You can fit two 14oz balls of ww cotton, PLUS 2-3 skeins of 2oz ww cotton stacked on top
- or
- 12-15 skeins of 2-2.5oz ww cotton
As you use up the yarn, your WIP (work in progress) will surely fit neatly into the empty space created if properly rolled/folded. 😛

Don’t hesitate to visit me on Facebook if you have any pattern specific or crochet related questions! The Loungers are fabulously helpful even if I may not have all the answers ♥

Bag Straps
Gauge
4sc or 4 rows to an inch - gauge pattern fsc 16, ch1, turn, sc in each sc across, repeat for 6 rows. (Gauge does not really matter in the straps, it is just used as a guide).

New Stitch for this section mfsc

Bag Straps Option 1 (shown in photo):
The Bag Straps are created with two strips on opposing sides of the bag and can be tied off depending on the length of the strap needed, thus creating an adjustable strap.

Continue along the rim:
Slst in the next 5 sts

Row 1
mfsc 50 starting in the same stitch as the last slst

Row 2
Ch1, turn (to be sure, you can follow the fsc down to make sure it is not twisted and that you will be working along the side that doubles back over the 5slst on the rim), sc in each sc across,
Slst join to the same st on the rim where you started the fsc,
Slst join to the next st on the rim
[50sc]

Row 3
Turn (without ch1, you are just going to turn the bag counter-clockwise for a righty and clockwise for a lefty. The yarn you crochet with will cross over in front, and that’s correct),
Do not chain,
Sc into each sc across, 2sc at the end of the row
[51sc]

Row 4
Ch1, turn
Sc in each sc across,
Slst to the same st on the rim where Row 2 started,
Slst to the next st on the rim
[51sc]

Rows 5-10
Repeat Row 2 & 3
[Rows 5-6 52sc
Rows 7-8 53sc
Rows 9-10 54sc]

Rim Continuation
Turn, Slst back up the strap you just formed
[54slst]
At the corner, sc in the same st as the last slst, sc across the short side of the strap
[10sc]
Slst in the same st as the last sc in the corner, slst down the other side of the strap
[50slst]
Slst in the next 44st
[34slst]

Strap 2
Row 1
mfsc 65 starting in the same stitch as the last slst

Row 2
Ch1, turn (to be sure, you can follow the fsc down to make sure it is not twisted and that you will be working along the side that doubles back over the last 10slst on the rim), sc in each sc across,
Slst join to the same st on the rim where you started the fsc,
Slst join to the next st on the rim
[65sc]

Row 4
Ch1, turn
Sc in each sc across,
Slst to the same st on the rim where Row 2 started,
Slst to the next st on the rim
[66sc]

Rows 5-10
Repeat Row 2 & 3
[Rows 5-6 67sc
Rows 7-8 68sc
Rows 9-10 69sc]

Rim Completion
Turn, Slst back up the strap you just formed
[69slst]
At the corner, sc in the same st as the last slst, sc across the short side of the strap
[10sc]
Slst in the same st as the last sc in the corner, slst down the other side of the strap
[65slst]
Slst in the next 33st along the rim,
Invisible join to the bottom of the first strap.
[33slst]

Fasten Off

Weave in Ends

Bag Straps Option 2:
A permanent Bag Strap is created crocheting from one side to the opposing side of the bag as a single piece of fabric attached to both sides and cannot be adjusted after completion.

If you followed the strap gauging, then you can use the following numbers to determine how long you want your bag straps:
At 4st/in,
15” Strap = 60fsc
16” Strap = 64fsc
17” Strap = 68fsc
18” Strap = 72fsc
19” Strap = 76fsc
20” Strap = 80fsc

Slst in the next 5 sts, fsc (number you desire) starting in the same stitch as the last slst, keeping the fsc straight, count 34st along the rim continuing down the same direction as the 5 slst you have already made,
Slst into the 35th stitch,
Slst into the next stitch, turn,
Sc in each fsc,
*Slst to the last stitch worked on the rim,
Slst in the next st on the rim, turn,
Sc across
Repeat from * until you have a total of 10 rows including fsc,
Slst around the rim and over the strap, fasten off.
Attach yarn on the other side of the strap,
Slst around the rim and strap, fasten off.

Sweetie Puffs Tiny Hearts (single round) and Sweetie Puffs Tiny Hearts Defined (2rounds) were a hit as heart appliques, stand alone tiny hearts, a gratitude heart in your pockets.

Star Flower Puffy Hearts Pile - Free Crochet Heart Pattern | The Crochet Lounge

Star Flower Puffy Hearts - Rainbow Pile

For a beginner to crochet and expand on their repertoire, there’s noting more fun than yet another heart that’s just slightly bigger and involves color change, should you wish to try! If you are a beginner to crochet, this is a fabulous way to pick up a few quick new stitches and the single crochet invisible join The Crochet Lounge way.

My now 6 year old asked to learn new crochet stitches recently. What a great way to be motivated to make up another crochet heart pattern she will love to make incorporating the basics she has already learned from the last set. We continue down this Divine Love Series dedicated to my family and my little ones, especially my Cadence Music ♥.

Video Tutorial link will be added here soon.

Capital Letter X - The Crochet Lounge Way

Free Crochet Alphabet Pattern

If you haven’t noticed the random order the alphabet patterns are arriving in… I’ll let you in on a tiny secret… I love yarny designs that don’t have unnecessary tails to weave and tuck, and I love playing with shaping because it hones my hookin’ skills, so I wait until I see the piece in my mind’s eye done as a one-piece vs. breaking yarn before I hook and post. There are several letters sitting in the WIP pile because I think they can look better than their current iteration. MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm x-ray of the mind

Materials:

Worsted Weight #4 Yarn
Size F/3.75mm hook
Tapestry needle

Stitches Used:

fsc, ch, sc, slst

Foundation single crochet (fsc) – ch2, insert hook into 2nd chain from hook, yo draw up a loop, yo draw through 1 (this creates the next foundation chain), yo draw through 2 (this completes the single crochet)
*insert hook into the next foundation chain just created, yo draw up a loop, yo draw through 1, yo draw through 2
Repeat from * until total fsc completed

Chain (ch) - yo (yarn over), pull through loop on hook

Single crochet (sc) - insert hook in indicated stitch, yo draw up a loop, yo draw through 2

Mr. Right Cowl - Free Men’s Crochet Cowl Pattern

Got yourself a Mr. Right? Have an awesome friend who is a Mr. Right? Or are you a Mr. Right yourself? Anyway, THIS is the free men’s crochet cowl pattern for you and best of all, it’s a 4-in-1 cowl!

Any beginner can pick up the puff stitch, use 2 colors and do a simple color switch to achieve the same results. Upon a quarter turn of wearing this cowl, it looks like a different cowl simply due to the color change. If you have been looking for a men’s pattern that’s just a tad different, but speaks manliness, this is a functional piece - not long like a scarf, not tight around the neck.

My Mr. Right modeled this for me… mmmm… mmmm… ♥

What’s your Valentine’s Day/Birthday/Father’s Day/Holiday gift for the men in your life?

Connect with Me & Share Your Cowl

♥ ♥

Materials

I used:
- Main Color (MC) - Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Wood (1 skein)
  Mr. Right Cowl - Worn Closeup
- Contrasting Color (CC) - Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Sonoma Print worked in 2 strands (a bit less than 7oz or half of a 14oz skein)
- <Note: Bernat Handicrafter Cotton is the same as Lily’s Sugar n’ Cream and Peaches and Creme>
Pick yarn that are of different textures for a manly look
Hook: Size N/15 10.0mm or Size P/16 11.5mm
- <Note: if you are a tight crocheter, use size P with the suggested yarn for a more pliable resulting fabric>

Stitches

fsc, ch, sc, hdc, chunky puff st, puff st, slst

Foundation single crochet (fsc) – ch2, insert hook into 2nd chain from hook, yo draw up a loop, yo draw through 1 (this creates the next foundation chain), yo draw through 2 (this completes the single crochet)

Chunky Puff Stitch (puff st) - (yo, insert hook into indicated stitch, yo draw up a loop) 3 times [7 loops on hook], yo draw through all 7 loops

Divine Love Series - Sweetie Puffs Tiny Hearts ♥♥ - Free Crochet Hearts Pattern

Looking for heart appliques, stand alone tiny hearts, a gratitude heart in your pocket? These 2 free crochet hearts patterns are made just for your every heart needs (they are also great for the once a year St. Valentines Day gifts). If you are a beginner to crochet, this is a fabulous way to pick up a few quick new stitches and the single crochet invisible join The Crochet Lounge way.

Sweetie Puffs Tiny Hearts & Sweetie Puffs Tiny Hearts Defined Heart Patterns

My 5 year old has been on and off crocheting chains for the last few months (to master it first before moving onto the next stitch), and she’s been asking me to show her how to make a heart since she first picked up a hook. This Divine Love Series is dedicated to my family and my little ones, especially my Cadence Music ♥.

Video Tutorial link will be added here soon.

Materials:

Any Worsted Weight Yarn (or any yarn with proportional hook sizes)
Size F & H hooks (I have also used I and J hooks instead of the H hook and love the outcome)
Would look great in solid colors or slow transition variegated yarn so not to detract from the shape

Stitches Used:

magic circle, ch, sc, dc, slst, invisible join, puff stitch

Magic circle The Crochet Lounge Way- wrap yarn around finger twice, slip hook under the loops, yo draw up a loop, yo draw through loop to secure the magic circle

Chain (ch) - yo (yarn over), pull through loop on hook

Single crochet (sc) - insert hook in indicated stitch, yo draw up a loop, yo draw through 2

Double crochet (dr) - yo, insert hook in indicated stitch, yo draw up a loop (3 on hook), yo draw through 2 loops (2 on hook), yo draw through 2 loops

Slip Stitch (slst) - insert hook in indicated stitch, yo draw through stitch and loop on hook

Puff Stitch (hdc puff st) - (yo, insert hook into indicated stitch, yo draw up a loop) 3 times [7 loops on hook], yo draw through all 7 loops

Invisible Join (invisible join) The Crochet Lounge Way - on last single crochet, insert hook in indicated stitch, yo draw up a loop, insert hook into the back loop only of the first stitch in the round, yo draw through stitch and the 2 loops on hook, pull up 3″ of yarn, cut and work with the 3″ of yarn, insert hook under both loops of the second stitch in the round, yo draw through stitch, insert hook in the front loop only of the last stitch in the round, yo draw through loop, insert hook from the back (wrong) side of work under both loops of the same stitch you just worked, draw yarn to the back so you can weave in the end

Sweetie Puffs Tiny Hearts Defined - 2 Rounds Heart ♥

Magic Circle

Round 1:

Ch1, hdc puff stitch, ch 2, slst in circle, hdc puff stitch,
ch2, sl st in magic circle, 2 sc in magic circle, ch2,
2sc in magic circle, switch to F hook, sl st to starting ch1
<Note: the 2 hdc puff stitches are the top curves of the heart>

Round 2:

Ch1, sc in each stitch of the round, sl st into the middle of the magic circle between the 2 puff stitches (worked over the top of previous sl st), invisible join to the ch1 at the start of the round, tighten magic circle, fasten off ♥

There is not a gauge, and you can even be off by a stitch with that slst and join for Round 2 and the hearts will all take on their own personality! I have done the first round with H-J hook and each gives a different look. The puff stitch is what creates the tiny 3D look and feel to carry around in your pocket.
