Crochet lace tape

6

Hi everyone!

Today I’m sharing a pattern that I found on YouTube, which has led me to create this lovely lace tape. It can be used for trimmings or decor and whatever else you’d like to use it for!

I thought it was a neat idea and the pattern is very easy to follow.

The pattern I used is from YouTube user, Sheruknittingcom who has loads of other lace tape patterns, which can be found here.

The tutorial I followed is in two parts. I’ve embedded the first below.

Have fun crocheting!

Heart-shaped crochet basket

Hi everyone!

5I’m sharing with you a pattern that I found for this very cute heart-shaped basket. The basket can be used to store small things such as rings and looks pretty on a dressing table.

For this pattern, I followed the instructions found on My Poppet’s blog who has gone through the pattern.

You can follow the pattern here.

Have fun crocheting!

Crochet pattern: T-shirt basket

Hey everyone!

In this post I’m going to explain how I created this very cute and small basket, which is ideal for storing bits and bobs such as rings or bracelets.

First of all, the yarn that I used is one that I have made by cutting up an old cardigan. All I did was cut the cardigan into several individual strips (about 2cm in width), and attached them by knotting the ends together. By doing this, you should create a whole ball of yarn that you can knit with. The strips will tend to curl inwards, which makes it much easier to crochet with, and this is what you want to happen. There are several other ways to create this type of yarn, but I wanted the raggedy effect where the knots are visible.

I used a 5mm crochet hook. The pattern that I made up is as such:

Round 1: Chain 2. Make 16 double crochets into the ring. Join with a slip stitch at the top of the chain 2.

Round 2: Chain 2. Make 2 double crochets in each stitch. You should have 32 stitches in round 2. Slip stitch in the chain from before.

Round 3: Chain 2. Make 1 double crochet in each stitch (your basket should start to curl upwards: that is what you want). Slip stitch into the chain 2 from before.

Rounds 4: Chain 1. Make 1 double crochet in each stitch. Your basket should still curl upwards to form a bowl shape. Keep repeating this if you wish, and fasten off when you’re happy with the size.

TIP: To make a basket like this, it works best when it is crocheted quite tightly because you want to have a rigid shape instead of it being loose and floppy.

Simple crochet doily

Hi everyone! Sorry for the silence, but I’m back with this new post.

I crocheted along with this YouTuber, to make this very easy and simple doily. (I’ve never made a doily before this!) I like the way that the centre section looks like a spider web.

The video is from Crochet Jewel, who goes through all the steps in a very simple fashion. There’s three parts to the  tutorial, I’ve only embedded the first below.

Thanks for reading, and happy crocheting!

Crochet pattern: Step-by-step granny square

Hi everyone!

I thought that I would share a step-by-step pattern on how to crochet a very easy granny square. I am doing several small squares in this blue wool for another project that I’m working on, which I’ll definitely blog about when it is finished.

The images in the slideshow below should, hopefully, be very easy  and beginner friendly; I tried my best to explain everything in detail.

Of course, this pattern can be adjusted depending on how large you want your square. The pattern below is five squares big.

Enjoy crocheting this pattern. Let me know how your square comes out in the comments!

Hook: 4.5mm
