Make it! Very simple mini crochet bowl!!!

It's funny how little discoveries happen!!!
I had the idea to start to crochet a cushion cover (I think it's a kind of mandatory step in the crochet world!)....So I took a very chunky yarn using the biggest hook I own (at the moment! New hooks on my shopping list now!!!), that is a 6mm (or J/10!) and I started to crochet a flat circle (so I believed...), following the instructions given by the video I mentioned yesterday (here)...

....but something completely different came out from the hooking....a little bowl....!!!!!! ;oD


....Honestly this is not a flat circle....do you agree??? eh!eh!eh!eh!

Anyway, I wrote the pattern of this happy mistake and I would love to share it with you all!!
Do you want to have a try, too? Then, follow me!!!

You will need :




  • super chunky yarn, that suggests the use of 10mm hook (UK 000, USA- )
  • a 6mm hook (instead!!!)
  • a pair of scissors
  • a tapestry needle
  • a safety pin (optional), useful to define the first stitch of each round (so you can check the numbers of your stitches at the end of the round!)
I wrote the following Pattern:

start with a slip knot and crochet 2 chains;
in the first chain that you have done, crochet 6 Dc (double crochet in UK terminology)
first round : crochet 2 Dc in each stitch, so that at the end of the round you will have 12 stitches
second round : You have to increase in every second stitch : in first stitch 1 Tr (treble crochet), 2 Tr in the second stitch. Repeat this scheme until you reach the last stitch of this round (18 stitches)
third round : Increase in every third stitch :1 Tr in first stitch, 1 Tr in second stitch, 2 Tr in third stitch. Repeat till the end (24 stitches)
fourth round : Increase in every fourth stitch : 1 Tr in first stitch, 1 Tr in second stitch, 1 Tr in third stitch, 2 Tr in fourth stitch. Repeat till the end (30 stitches)
fifth round : Increase in every fifth stitch :1 Tr in first stitch, 1 Tr in second stitch, 1 Tr in third stitch, 1 Tr in fourth stitch, 2 Tr in fifth stitch. Repeat till the end (36 stitches)
sixth round : 1 Tr in each stitch (36 stitches)

You can fasten off  and trim the ends!!!

Before starting to crochet, check if you know how to :

  • make a slip knot
  • make a foundation chain
  • crochet a double crochet (Dc) stitch
  • crochet a treble crochet (Tr) stitch
  • work in rounds
  • fasten off
  • trim the ends
I'm not showing you each step of this project, this time. But, if you have any problem or question, please feel free to contact me here !!!!

Just some pictures to show off my tiny creation (diameter 10cm; height 7cm)...








....maybe, you could crochet two "bowls" and sew them together, so you would have a soft toy or a cute ornament !!!! It's up to you and your creative fantasy!!! Have fun in doing it!!

Today, I'm joining Sara at creative jewish mom !!! You are welcome, too!!!

See you soon, xxxxx

Make it ! The Granny Yarn Chain !!!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ???? SURE YOU ARE !!! I now that!!!! ;oD So during this last week I was showing you via Instagram (see  my personal feed ) some colourful pictures about my new crochet w.i.p. , which I completed last night ... ... so this morning, before school/office time a couple of boys helped me with the last photos for this blog post ... TA-DAH ... The beauty of this project resides in the fact that is adaptable to any extent, any kind of yarn and any corner of your home (in or out!) !!! The inspiration and "creative kick" derives from two other projects I've seen around :  The Chain Statement Necklace  by my dear friend Miki from  Set Free My Gypsy Soul  and  Peggy's Comfy Indoors Blanket  by Pip Lincoln from  Meet Me at Mike's  !!! Thank you both, girls !!! It has been a long time since I've been wanting to crochet (or even knit !) a paper chain ... I made some long paper chains for our Christmas tree back in Indonesia but I al

Make it ! Knitted triangular scarf !!!

Last December, I saw a very simple and cute scarf knitted by Angie ( le monde de sucrette) and I thought to knit one for me, too, but then I was busy with the gifts to prepare for family and friends back in Italy .... so nothing was done for me!!! Luckily, some days ago, while browsing through my blogs list, I found a post from Ilaria ( IDA interior lifestyle) , who was proposing the same (she added a pompom!) piece of clothing .... I didn't have any excuse to wait longer for knitting my own triangular scarf!!!! ;oD So, I started .... Do you want to start one, too ??? Well, you need : some yarn ! My personal choice was : Lana Grossa Basics Calmo (59% acrylic, 24% cotton and 17% linen), shade 207. All my 4 balls of yarn (50g each) have been used for this project. Then 2 balls (50g each) from Rowan Classic Cotton Jeans Yarn (100% cotton), shade 365-Sierra, for both stripes and tassels! a pair of 4,5mm  knitting circular needles or, if you prefer, a pair of long strai

Make it ! The Granny Bunny !!!

You know, this picture from my  Instagram feed  has collected more than 900 likes ... ... and a colourful crocheter named Karin @woolfieber , made her own version just looking at my pic (you can find her work  HERE  ) !!!! My idea, since the beginning , was to prepare a photo tutorial for you, but do you really need one ? These Granny Bunnies are so easy to crochet, believe me !!!! YOU NEED : some colourful mercerised cotton a 3,5 mm hook a pair of scissors a tapestry needle beads for embellishments (optional) Please note that I follow the US crochet terminology, thank you ! Each bunny measures 13 cm in height and it can be used for different purposes : bunting, hanging decorations, appliques, brooches, on napkin rings and more !!!! The sky's the limit !!! You can use this pattern even with different yarns and, consequently, hook sizes !!! ;oD Abbreviations : DC = double crochet ch = chain SC = single crochet 2SCtog = 2 single crochet
