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.

Hi everyone!
I’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.

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:
Form a magic ring. (Learn how to make one here)
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.
Thanks for reading, and let me know how you get on in the comments!
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!
Hi everyone. This is just a quick post to share with you this lovely thin wool that I bought a while back. I bought it in a little haberdashery shop on a trip to Canterbury for £3.95. They had a variety of colours and I thought that these lovely teal and silver rolls went quite well together. I also bought a 1.25mm needle to crochet with. I haven’t made anything yet but I plan to try my hand at crocheting some doilies!
I’ve discovered this yarn from TIGER, which is fairly cheap at £1. It’s only 50g for a small roll, but I think it’s worth it for a specific project. However, the yarn is actually quite delicate, so it can rip easily when using for knitting. It works much better with a crochet project, and it’s sure to be very warm. Aside from these ones, TIGER also have some thinner yarn, which are plain and multicoloured.
