Hope it`s fine for you, too!!</p><p><b>WHAT YOU NEED</b></p><p>A small amount of DK yarns, acrylic or cotton it`s your choice. For both my Santa and Reindeer I`ve been using some Bergere de France Barisienne DK from my stash in : nougatine (brown), geranium (red), igloo (white) and reglisse (black).

The important thing is to leave a space of 4 stitches (so you sl st 4 times) between the two antlers!</p><p><b>Beanie : </b>make a sl knot on your hook using the red yarn and insert hook in first stitch to the left of the right antler (the reindeer is RS facing you).</p><p><b>Row 1 (RS): </b>4sc, turn [4 sts]</p><p><b>Row 2 (WS): </b>3ch, 2DC, 2DC in last st, turn [5 sts]</p><p><b>Row 3: </b>3ch, <b> </b>2DC, DC2tog, turn [4 sts]</p><p><b>Row 4: </b>3ch, 1DC, DC2tog, turn [3 sts]</p><p><b>Row 5: </b>3ch, DC2tog, fasten off.

You have a schematic for the body, which shows you elongated hexagons (both in cream and charcoal). The body is not worked following the rules of tapestry crochet (even though you can do that, if you prefer!), but you work vertical strips of hexagons (a total of 12 strips), from left to right, joined-as-you-go (JAYG method) using simple slip stitches on the RS of the bag. Believe me it`s not difficult, just unusual simply because it`s not used so often : it`s more practical to work in rounds, I reckon that!</p><p>Change of colour : I prefer not to cut yarn, but to bring it up to the next change. I use to carry the yarn up the side (floats) of the motif. You can use the method you prefer, no problem at all!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpDbqgAdm3R_T14tIZoNHq1PAxKERpzp4Rjx4mD-fezyHUCoiqfLYIxj3I_N97jFX1jtV-LU7jGf6fM9jRbhrIqXLRAxBQagRiPTkDXLBnXWtHGkAUPSWxJ5OeDcNLxcU_3AlwzL92C40/s640/floats.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpDbqgAdm3R_T14tIZoNHq1PAxKERpzp4Rjx4mD-fezyHUCoiqfLYIxj3I_N97jFX1jtV-LU7jGf6fM9jRbhrIqXLRAxBQagRiPTkDXLBnXWtHGkAUPSWxJ5OeDcNLxcU_3AlwzL92C40/s320/floats.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p>If you like this challenge, please follow </p><p><b>THE PATTERN</b></p><p><b> BASE</b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdd1mxsSPtKEUXjtAi0tzgFnenllCqG_PdhcgzeoZPsGp57PqD_7Eov_2b7Uan2B_Cigk2q5Dh7FdaASGVwzSFRw1gkaYmCFNCz8WZ0Ik2-1u6H8e_wOxUYaaBDnhrupckFLC6DHDAaRc/s640/bottom.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="622" data-original-width="640" height="389" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdd1mxsSPtKEUXjtAi0tzgFnenllCqG_PdhcgzeoZPsGp57PqD_7Eov_2b7Uan2B_Cigk2q5Dh7FdaASGVwzSFRw1gkaYmCFNCz8WZ0Ik2-1u6H8e_wOxUYaaBDnhrupckFLC6DHDAaRc/w400-h389/bottom.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p><br /></p>Using yarn A, make a slip knot on your hook, 3ch, sl st in 1st ch to form a ring.<p></p><p><b>Round 1: </b>1ch, 6sc, sl st in 1st sc [6sc]</p><p><b>Round 2: </b>1ch, (2sc in each st) 6 times, sl st in 1st sc [12sc]</p><p><b>Round 3: </b>1ch, (1sc, 2sc in next st) 6 times, sl st in 1st sc [18sc]</p><p><b>Round 4: </b>1ch, (2sc, 2sc in next st) 6 times, sl st in 1st sc [24sc]</p><p>Continue to increase sts regularly until you complete</p><p><b>Round 13: </b>1ch, (11sc, 2sc in next st) 6 times, sl st in 1st sc [78sc]</p><p><b>Rounds 14-15: </b>1ch, 78sc blo, sl st in 1st sc.

The Lovely Funny Hat !!!Hi there!!!!<br />
<br />
It seems I`m not able (or can`t find the time) to be here more regurarly, and I`m sorry for that, as I really love this place of mine... anyway, I made another pattern to share with you all!<br />
<br />
The idea came to me last year, while working on triangle motifs to figure out a simple heart.. this came out very elongated and I decided to use it for a silly hat, good for both Valentine`s Day and the italian Carnevale, at the end of February...!!!<br />

This ridiculous hat is a very quick make and I like the fact it doesn`t need to be stiffened to hold its point up!!!<br />
<br />
The hat is made of 3 panels (1 upside-down heart and 2 triangles), worked using DC (= British tr) stitches and joined as you go (no sewing involved).<br />
<br />
The upside-down heart is kept on the back of your head when wearing the hat, as you can see from the above picture : there is a kind of tail along my neck on the left selfie of my collage !<br />
<br />

</ul>
<div>
Please note that I`m following the US crochet terminology.</div>

We are going to follow the same pattern for the first part of the heart panel, but the triangle is joined as you go to the previous panel ! The joinings are highlighted in bold and they happen only at the end of each odd row.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pick up the heart panel (you can put a stitch marker on the front of it) with the RS facing you. Each time you will join the new one to it, the heart panel will be at the left of the working panel.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Insert the hook (from front to back) in the bottom point of the heart and join the new colour (stormcloud), then chain 3.</div>

<b>SECOND TRIANGLE PANEL</b></div>

<div>
Even this time there is some joining.... more than the previous one! In fact, this new panel is worked joining it to both previous panels !!! In this way you avoid any sewing and when completed you have a hat!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The joinings are highlighted in bold and they happen at the end of each row, only on the RS of the work!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This time, the heart will be at your right, while the first triangle will be at your left.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Little by little you will see the conic shape of your hat becoming bigger and bigger....</div>

If your hat is made of 2 triangles and 1 heart, once done, it will be like the one on the bottom left of the above picture. The upside-down heart is the back of the heart.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you decide, instead, to work a hat with 2 hearts and 1 triangle, the back/sides will be like the one in the top right of the picture. In this case, the 2 hearts will cover your neck and ears!</div>

<br />
<b>WHAT YOU NEED :</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>5mm and 4mm hooks</b><br />
<b>scissors</b><br />
<b>yarn needle</b><br />
<b>pompom maker : I use a 45mm Clover pompom maker </b><br />
<b>some colourful mini bells</b><br />
<b>PVA glue, brush, pins, blocking board or foam tiles</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>YARN :</b> it`s all from my personal stash. I`m using a selection of Simply Aran from Paintbox Yarns (the Diamonds part), some Sirdar no 1 for the embellishments (pompoms, candies), and some metallic options (Hayfield Bonus Glitter, Sparkle Glamourus Yarn from B&M, etc). I will try to more specific later in the pattern writing.<br />
<b><br /></b>
Please, remember I follow the US crochet terminology !!<br />
<br />
My turning chain (=2ch) is never considered as a proper stitch.<br />
<br />
Difficulty level : Intermediate<br />
<br />
<b>ABOUT THE PATTERN</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
As you can see from the above picture, the tree is made of diamond motifs. The pattern starts with the triangle on the bottom left and ends with the triangle at the bottom right. In the between, you work vertical strips of motifs, joined one after the other with a sort of "Join-As-You-Go" method. The joining itself is made using slip stitches and it`s well explained in the pattern. In this way, no sewing is involved.<br />

You can use a maximum of 7 different shades. The above 4 triangles are crocheted using a 5mm hook and a selection of <a href="https://www.loveknitting.com/paintbox-yarns-simply-aran">Simply Aran Paintbox Yarns</a> . Obviously, you can use any substitute from your personal yarn stash.<br />
<br />
<b>First Strip (T1) = triangle motif</b><br />
<br />
Choose a starting colour, make a slip knot on your hook and work a foundation chain of 14 chains.<br />
<br />
<b>Row 1 (Right Side) : </b>wrap yarn around hook and insert tip in 3rd chain from hook and work your first DC, then 9DC, DC2tog in last 2 stitches, 2ch, TURN. [11 DC,1st decr row]<br />
<br />
<b>Row 2 (Wrong Side) : </b>9DC, DC2tog, 2ch, TURN. [10 DC]<br />

<b>EDGING and TREE TRUNK</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Using a selection of metallic yarns (<a href="https://www.woolwarehouse.co.uk/sirdar-hayfield-bonus-glitter-dk-all-colours">Hayfield Bonus Glitter</a>, <a href="https://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/glamorous-yarn-150g-316901">Sparkle Glamorous Yarn</a>, and some others!!) I did a simple edging around the tree and I added a trunk, too.<br />
<br />
Working with 2 threads together and a 5mm hook, you need to keep the RS of the tree facing you, but upside-down, so you start to crochet from its bottom.<br />
<br />

<br />
Make a slip knot on your hook and insert the tip of 1st diamond on the right (see above picture, yellow arrow) and work your first SC.<br />
Work 1 SC in each bottom chain<br />
Work 2 SC along each DC, on both sides<br />
Work 2 or 3 SC in each bottom corner<br />
When you reach the tree top, chain 21 and slip stitch in 1st chain to make a hanging loop<br />
<br />
When you reach the 1st SC of the edging, complete the border with a slip stitch and work 2ch.<br />
<br />
In the next 25 stitches work one DC in each one, 2ch, Turn. Repeat other 4 times (so you will a total of 5 rows) to have a small tree trunk. Fasten off.<br />
<br />
Weave in ends.<br />

<b>BLOCKING</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You need to pin your tree, with WS facing you, on a blocking board or foam tiles.<br />
<br />
The only tree it`s better to block later, after the embellishments. is the Argyle tree!<br />
<br />
Prepare a solution of tap water and PVA glue in equal parts to brush on the back of the tree in order to stiffen it.<br />
<br />
Let it dry completely.<br />
<br />
Once ready, you can start to decorate it!<br />
<br />
<b>ARGYLE TREE</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You have to select a couple of contrasting colours from the metallic yarns and with the help of a 4mm hook you just have to work slip stitches to create the argyle effect, first one colour in one direction, then the other colour in the opposite direction.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Starting from the middle bottom of each triangle, you have to draw lines almost parallel (!!!) to the sides of the diamond motifs.... it seems scary and impossible, but believe me it is not !<br />
<br />
Once the Argyle design is completed, you can block your tre and when it`s dry, you can add some colourful bells, too!<br />

... and a colourful crocheter named Karin <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wollfieber/?hl=en">@woolfieber</a>, made her own version just looking at my pic (you can find her work <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wollfieber/?hl=en">HERE</a> ) !!!!<br />
<br />
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 !!!!<br />

Let's start with the legs !</div>

<div>
You need to work in the two chain-1 spaces located along the triangle side. (choose your side and remember that they are all equal ! ;oD)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Choose any colour for your bunny, as it can be any hue you prefer, ok ?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Make a slip knot on your hook and insert the tip in the first chain-1 space on the right.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>1st row : </b>work 2 SCs , chain 1 and turn</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2nd and 3rd rows : </b>work 2 SCs, chain 1 and turn</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>4th row : </b>decrease with 2 SCtog. Cut yarn, fasten off</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Repeat the same pattern for the other leg in next chain-1 space !!! </div>

<div>
This time you have to work into the chain-1 spaces close to the top corner of the triangle and repeat the pattern used for the legs, but with an extra row !</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With the same colour, make a slip knot on your hook and insert the tip in one of the chain-1 spaces (right or left).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>1st row : </b><b> </b>work 2 SCs , chain 1 and turn</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2nd, 3rd and 4th rows : </b>work 2 SCs, chain 1 and turn</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>5th row : </b>decrease with 2 SCtog. Cut yarn, fasten off</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>
Repeat the same pattern for the other arm in opposite chain-1 space !!! </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Weave in all ends.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>IMPORTANT : </b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
You have to repeat the above patterns even for the bunny with the "granny circle body".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The only difference between the two bodies is which chain-1 space to consider to crochet in arms and legs.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nothing difficult at all ! In my specific case, I was trying to be more symmetrical as I can be, but you can choose any space for your bunny's legs and arms, just to give it more personality!!! ;oD</div>

The construction is very simple : you need to crochet 2 basic granny squares and then embellish them with some colourful fringes !!!<br />

<li>a yarn needle</li>
</ul>
<div>
Please remember that I follow the US crochet termilogy, thank you !</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You need to know how to crochet a traditional granny square and the "join-as-you-go" method !!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Any DK acrylic yarn is suitable for this project !!! ;oD</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, let's start the crochet fun !!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>BASIC GRANNY SQUARE pattern</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
The "chain 2" at the beginning of each round is my turning chain and it's never considered as a proper stitch.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From round 2 on, you always start to work into the first corner of your square and you end your round in this same corner!<br />
<br />
Each shell is made of 3 DCs.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
Make a slip knot on your hook, chain 4, slip stitch in first stitch to form a ring.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>round 1 : </b>chain 2, work [3 DCs + chain 2] 4 times. Slip stitch in top of first DC to complete the round. Slip stitch even in next 2 DCs of same shell and in following corner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>round 2 : </b>chain 2, work [3 DCs + chain 2 + 3 DCs and chain 1] 4 times, in each corner. Slip stitch in top of first DC to complete the round. Slip stitch even in next 2 DCS of same shell and in following corner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>round 3 : </b>chain 2, work [(3 DCs + chain 2 + 3 DCs + chain 1 ) in each corner and (3 DCs + chain 1) in each chain-1 space] 4 times. Slip stitch in top of first DC to complete the round. Slip stitch even in next 2 DCs of same shell and in following corner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>round 4 : </b>chain 2, work [(3 DCs + chain 2 + 3 DCs + chain 1) in each corner and (3 DCs + chain 1) in following 2 chain-1 spaces)] 4 times. Slip stitch in top of first DC to complete the round. Slip stitch even in next 2 DCs of same shell and in following corner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>rounds 5, 6, 7 and 8 : </b>are worked as the 4th round, just remembering to increase (one shell + chain-1 space) along each side of the square 4 times, each round !!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>round 9 : </b>chain 2, work [(3 DCS + chain 2 + 3 DCs + chain 1) in each corner and (3 DCs + chain-1) in following 7 chain-1 spaces)] 3 times.</div>
<div>
The fourth side of the granny is worked with the "join-as-you-go" method to trasform your granny into a fingerless glove , so :</div>
<div>
fold your square in half (back sides facing) and align the side to complete over the second side you have been crocheting.</div>
<div>
Now, continue with your crocheting as follow : </div>
<div>
work 3 DCs + chain 1 in fourth corner, then insert the tip of your hook in the space of 3rd corner from the front to the back and make a slip stitch (just started your joining!) and work the other 3 DCs to complete the 4th corner of your granny. Work another slip stitch in chain-1 space next to 3rd corner. Crochet a new shell (= 3 DCs) in chain-1 space next 4th corner and slip stitch in second chain-1 space of the above side. Crochet another shell in 2nd chain-1 space of 4th side and slip stitch in above corresponding chain-1 space. </div>
<div>
We have to leave an open space to let pass your thumb, so crochet (3 DCs + chain 1) twice in next 2 chain-1 spaces of your 9th round. Work another shell in next chain-1 space and slip stitch (joining starts again) in the above matching chain-1 space. Crochet a shell in next chain-1 space, slip stitch in above chain-1 space. Work your last shell in last chain-1 space and slip stitch in the above last chain-1 space, plus another slip stitch in top of first DC made at the beginning of round 9. </div>
<div>
Cut yarn and fasten off. Weave in all ends.</div>
<div>
You will notice a mini slit at the bottom of your fingerless glove : I think this is a nice detail! ;oD</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Please note : </b>it could be that you need more or less rounds for your glove. To check which granny fits you best, I suggest you to measure the circumference of your hand at palm (that is the widest part of your hand) and regularly look at it at the end of each round (almost). </div>

Remember to work this same pattern twice, as you need two grannies to have a pair of gloves ! ;oD</div>

<b>FINISHING TOUCHES</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Once you have weaved in all the tails, you can decide to wear your gloves the way they actually are, but I prefer to add some simple embellishments to give them a nicer look !!!<br />

<br />
<br />
We can start with the <b>top edge</b>, adding a simple border of single crochets (=SC) :<br />
<br />
Pick up a contrasting colour and make a slip knot on your hook. Insert the tip in the top corner at the left of the joining side and work your first SC. Then crochet 3 SCs in top of every shell and 1 SC in each chain-1 space. Your last SC is made in the last corn to the right of the joining side. Slip stitch in 2nd stitch made. Cut yarn and fasten off. Weave in ends.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Now the <b>bottom edge </b>: make another slip knot on your hook using the same yarn (or maybe not!) and insert the tip in the top of first DC along the slit (looking at the above picture, you start to work in top of first shell on the right side!) and work your first SC. Crochet other 2 SCs in same shell and then work 2 SCs into the turning corner. Apply the usual pattern : 3 SCs in top of each shell and 1 SC in every chain-1 space. When you reach the second turning corner, remember to crochet 2 SCs into it. Then work your last 3 SCs in top of last shell. Cut yarn, fasten off and weave ends in.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Thumb hole : </b>make a slip knot on your hook and insert the tip in the top of first DC of first shell on the back of the glove. Work, as usual, 3 SCs in each shell top and 1 SC in every chain-1 space. When you have worked the last SC in last shell, slip stitch in 2nd stitch to end the border. Cut yarn, fasten off and weave ends in.<br />

I've added some fringes on the external side of each glove. You need to find the centre of your granny square. Once found, you have to consider 5 shells : the first one is part of the granny centre (the one at the bottom), while the other four are the ones under the first one . Imagine them all as lined up along a vertical line ... look at the dots in below picture ...<br />
<br />

<br />
You will attach each fringe at the DC in the middle of each shell !<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Cut 4 lenghts of yarn, more or less about 40 cm each. Fold them in half and with the help of the hook, pull them under the DC in the middle of the shell ...<br />
<br />
<br />

then pass the free strands into the loop on the left and voila' the first fringe is done ...<br />

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!) !!!<br />
<br />
The inspiration and "creative kick" derives from two other projects I've seen around : <a href="http://www.sfmgs.co.uk/2017/01/-crochet-chain-statement-necklace-free-pattern-hobbycraft-knitcraft.html#links">The Chain Statement Necklace</a> by my dear friend Miki from <a href="http://www.sfmgs.co.uk/">Set Free My Gypsy Soul</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BQzLvNfB2mM/?taken-by=meetmeatmikes">Peggy's Comfy Indoors Blanket</a> by Pip Lincoln from <a href="http://meetmeatmikes.com/">Meet Me at Mike's</a> !!! Thank you both, girls !!!<br />
<br />
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 always thought that something made out of yarn will be more durable, right ?<br />
<br />
So here I am with this colourful project, which I'm going to share with you RIGHT NOW !!!<br />
<br />
<b>WHAT YOU NEED :</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
some <b>colourful yarn</b> : I was using some DK acrylics from my personal stash (there is no need to buy new yarn!) and I could do my chain way longer than I did, but other projects are on the way, so...<br />
<br />
a <b>4mm hook</b><br />
<br />
a <b>pair of scissors</b><br />
<br />
a <b>yarn needle </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
Please remember that I follow the <b>US crochet terminology, </b>thank you !<br />
<br />
Be aware that my turning chain is made of 2 chains and not 3, even though working with double crochets (= DC) ! Notice that this turning chain is never considered as a proper stitch, too !<br />
<br />
We are going to crochet a lots of granny rectangles. If you never did one before or your memory is simply a little bit rusty, I suggest you to look at some videos on YouTube, like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeNyQrVwXns">How to crochet a GRANNY RECTANGLE by Bella Coco</a> or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7DWpwecDi8">How to crochet a granny rectangle by Yolanda Soto Lopez</a> .... there are a lot more !!!! ;oD<br />

<br />
My chain is made of 24 rectangles or links.<br />
<br />
Each rectangle is worked in 3 rounds and every round is crocheted in a different colour.<br />
<br />
I prefer to weave in ends all the time one round is completed, to avoid too many tails at the end of the work !!!<br />
<br />
The picture above shows you a complete rectangle I'm giving you the pattern to crochet. Useful if you prefer to sew your rectangles together, but ... I prefer to use the join-as-you-go method, so my rectangles, instead, are never totally done, as I complete each of them while joining to the previous link : no worries, I'm going to show you how!!!<br />

<br />
<b>first round : </b>choose your first colour and make a slip knot on your hook.<br />
<br />
Chain 30+2 (= my turning chain!), wrap yarn around hook and push it in 3rd chain from hook : work your first DC. In the same chain, work other 2 DCs, so that you will have your first shell (in above chart : extreme right, you can see a small horizontal shell with a <span style="color: red;">A </span>.... sorry for the quality of my drawing!). Now chain 2, then work the first shell (<span style="color: yellow;">1</span>) of the long side and chain 1. Skip two chains and in 3rd chain work the new shell and chain 1. Repeat this pattern until you reach <span style="color: yellow;">10 </span>shells ( you are in the second last chain of your foundation chain)! After this shell, chain 2 and work shell <span style="color: red;">B </span>in last chain. Chain 2, s you can start to crochet the second long side of your rectangle, working your 10 shells at the base of the previous shells and remembering to space them with a chain-1 space !<br />
When shell 10 is completed, chain 2 and slip stitch in the top of first DC made. Slip stitch even in the tops of the following 2 DCs and in the corner!<br />
Cut yarn and fasten off.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>second round : </b>choose a new colour and, in the same corner you have completed your first round, add the new yarn (insert front to back your hook in corner, pull new yarn from back to front, wrap yarn around hook and pull it trough the loop!), chain 1 and crochet 3 DCS, chain 2, 3 DCs in this first corner. Chain 1, (3 DCs in chain-1 space + chain 1) 9 times. In second and third corner : 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCS and chain 1. Along the other long side : (3 DCS in chain-1 space + chain 1) 9 times. In fourth corner : 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs. Chain 1 and slip stitch in top of first DC made. Slip stitch even in the tops of the following 2 DCs and in the first corner!<br />
Cut yarn and fasten off.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>third round : </b>choose the last colour and join it as done for the second round !<br />
After the joining, chain 1 and crochet 3 DCS, chain 2, 3 DCS in this first corner. Chain 1, (3 DCs in chain-1 space + chain 1) 10 times. In second corner : 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs and chain 1. Work 1 shell in next chain-1 space and chain 1. In third corner : 3 DCs. chain 2, 3 DCS and chain 1. Along the other long side : (3 DCs in chain-1 space + chain 1) 10 times. In fourth corner : 3 DCs, chain 2, 3 DCs and chain 1. In next chain-1 space crochet a shell + chain 1. Slip stitch in top of first DC made. Slip stitch even in the tops of the following 2 DCs and into the first corner !<br />
Cut yarn and fasten off.<br />
<br />
This is the full pattern of a granny rectangle made of 3 rounds.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I stop mine (see above picture) when half fourth corner (3 DCs + chain 1) is done ...<br />
<br />
In this way I can use the join-as-you-go method to join the short sides of my rectangle (s) to form a link (s) for my granny yarn chain !<br />
<br />
Wanna see how ?<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The JOIN-AS-YOU-GO METHOD to make links</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
We need to have links for our chain, right ?<br />

<br />
<br />
Nice, right ???<br />
<br />
But how to do that???<br />
<br />
Very simply !!!<br />
<br />
When you have a rectangle almost done (just started half fourth corner of third round), you need to fold it in half (back sides facing each other) and make pass the short side completed, from bottom to top, inside a previous link already joined ...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRuLdVGgrDqqXPxEaGquM4DG59VCmu98DNPQPIzkGL-e4gVelhWzQombkK-odyEtA4UfuNxZS71udvf5rj-px_aNFPjCyevZ6UJPPFP5_NOH35S37sVDlUIDATmHHsHy3hvHAwxXkH9R8/s1600/fatto+passare+nell%2527altro+link.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRuLdVGgrDqqXPxEaGquM4DG59VCmu98DNPQPIzkGL-e4gVelhWzQombkK-odyEtA4UfuNxZS71udvf5rj-px_aNFPjCyevZ6UJPPFP5_NOH35S37sVDlUIDATmHHsHy3hvHAwxXkH9R8/s640/fatto+passare+nell%2527altro+link.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
... and be sure to have the rectangle and the link in the right position, as follows ...<br />
<br />
<br />

... with the completed side of your rectangle at the top and the uncompleted side at the bottom !<br />
<br />
Let's start the joining !!!<br />

<br />
<br />
Insert the tip of your hook in the corner at the top (see above picture, left), wrap yarn and and pull it to the front, through the loop formed by last chain 1 : slip stitch done (joining officially started!)!<br />
<br />
You can complete the 4th corner of your rectangle ...<br />

<br />
<br />
To complete the joining, just slip stitch in the top corner ...<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Joining done !!!!!<br />
<br />
DON'T CUT ANY YARN !!!!<br />
<br />
We have to finish off the link properly ! In order to do that, simply turn your work from left to right of 90 degrees ...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
... and work a single crochet (= SC) in the first corner at the left of the joining line.<br />
<br />
You have to work 3 SCs into the tops of each shell and 1 SC in each chain-1 space and corner!<br />
<br />
When the round is completed (last SC in corner adjacent joining line), slip stitch in first SC done, cut yarn, fasten off and weave in ends.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
If you look closely at the above picture, you can notice how much neater looks the bottom line in comparison with the top one, not yet "single crocheted" !!!! ;oD<br />
<br />
So, repeat the same procedure even for the bottom of your link : make a slip knot on your hook, insert it in the top corner at the left of the joined line and work your first SC.<br />
<br />
Crochet the same pattern, but this time, when ending the round, slip stitch in the 2nd SC you made !!!<br />
<br />
Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in all the ends !!!<br />
<br />
LINK DONE !!!!! Go on the same way for all the other ones !!!! ;oD<br />
<br />
<b>PLEASE, NOTE </b>that even your absolute first link is joined in the same way !!! The only difference is that you don't have to connect it to any link! It will be, instead, the first link to insert in the second one you will make !!!!<br />
<br />
Nothing difficult and really addictive !!!<br />
<br />

<br />
It has been a little while since my last visit, but I'm still here : no worries ! ;oD<br />
<br />
I've been busy working on my last project : a new sweater !<br />
<br />
After my <a href="http://homemadeatmyplace.blogspot.com/2016/11/mega-granny-square-jumper.html#links">My mega granny square jumper</a>, I was tempted to crochet a raglan sweater...<br />
<br />
I made some research on Pinterest and via YouTube. Eventually I was lucky enough to find a nice pattern on one book in my bookcase : <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Easy-Crochet-Country-Nicki-Trench/dp/0600628337">Easy Crochet Country 30 projects to make for your home and to wear</a> (Consultant : Nikki Trench) .<br />
<br />
The pattern chosen was : "Sweater with patterned sleeves" on pages 104-107.<br />
<br />
Well, I didn't follow the pattern properly... I've noticed that the conversion from cm to inches was wrong... so how could you trust the sizes???? I took my personal measurements and I crocheted more chains in the foundation chain to have a more cosy sweater, just a little bit oversized !<br />
<br />

But I added more differences from the original pattern : the hem is not joined at the sides, so to have a couple of mini slits : the sweater body is joined with the as you go method (do you wanna know how ? Feel free to have a look <a href="http://homemadeatmyplace.blogspot.com/2016/05/how-to-join-side-by-side-two-squares.html#links">HERE</a>); no neckband for me : a simple boat neck did the job properly and yes, the sleeves are patterned, but only 3/4 long and with a different design, inspired by this one :<br />

I did use a 4mm hook and the following yarns :<br />
<br />
<b>back : <a href="http://www.kartopu.com.tr/detail/kartopu-ak-soft-k634">AK-Soft by Kartopu shade 634</a> </b>(2 balls)<br />
<b>front : <a href="http://www.kartopu.com.tr/detail/kartopu-ak-soft-k657">AK- Soft by Kartopu shade 657</a> </b>(2 balls)<br />
<b>sleeves : <a href="https://www.savenmaa.fi/tuote/lauri-sukkalanka-100g-aqua/6410412900395/">Lauri Neulelanka</a> </b>shade aqua (2 balls)<br />
<b>sleeves cuffs : <a href="http://www.kayobazaar.com/shop/pure-gold-dk-002-custard/">Elle Pure Gold DK</a> </b> shade honey (small amount)<br />
<br />
The crocheting of the sweater went on smoothly, but it took some time because of the novelty and because of a certain amount of trials, errors and "try it on".... several times!!!<br />

I decided to use one of the people from my little crowd (do you remember <a href="http://homemadeatmyplace.blogspot.com/2016/03/postcards-from-my-little-crowd-womens.html#links">HER</a> ?) and a Sunburst Granny Heart (pattern from Bunny Mummy <a href="http://bunnymummy-jacquie.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/sunburst-granny-hearts.html#links">HERE</a>) ....<br />

Emily and Miki have prepared even two free patterns to make something nice and useful from the stabby grannies : a pair of <a href="http://www.makeeshop.com/post/88185498918/stabby-granny-gloves-free-tutorial">STABBY GRANNY GLOVES</a> and a <a href="http://www.sfmgs.co.uk/2017/01/stabby-granny-cowl-free-crochet-pattern-paintbox-yarn.html#links">STABBY GRANNY COWL</a> !!!<br />

... that I decided to make a bag, instead !!! I think this idea was even influenced by the <a href="http://homemadeatmyplace.blogspot.com/2017/01/crochet-japanese-knot-bag.html#links">JAPANESE KNOT BAG</a> I've crocheted almost 10 days ago... But that pattern was not mine (it's from a Japanese crochet book), so I decided to make a similar one, with different granny squares, different handles and a different method of joining !!! ;oD<br />

<br />
<b>WHAT YOU NEED :</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
- a 4,5 mm hook<br />
- a pair of scissors<br />
- a yarn needle<br />
- stitch markers, useful to point out the stitches (along the top of the bag) where to attach the handles!<br />
- some colourful yarns : I was using, from my personal stash, a selection of DK acrylics from <a href="http://www.filaturacervinia.it/dnn/home_ITA/Prodotti/prodotto?lang=ITA&id=37">Filati Cervinia CAPRICE</a>, Lane Biella MARK, <a href="http://www.filatitresfere.it/#/product/0.266.1">Filati Tre Sfere LANA LANA</a> and some "two colour strands" from <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/tiger-garn-yarn-singles">TIGER Garn/Yarn</a> !<br />
- follow the basic <b>STABBY GRANNY SQUARE PATTERN </b>by <a href="http://www.sfmgs.co.uk/2017/01/stabby-granny-square-cal-free-crochet-pattern-paintbox-yarn.html#links">MIKI</a> and <a href="http://www.makeeshop.com/post/87199062224/stabby-granny-cal-square-free-pattern">EMILY</a> and crochet a total of 26 stabby grannies (18 for the bag + 8 for the handles)<br />
<br />
Remember I use and follow the US crochet terminology, thank you !!!!<br />
<br />
I prefer not to sew my crochet pieces together (you can do that, instead, if you prefer!) and I use the "join-as-you-go" method, the same that Miki uses for her <a href="http://www.sfmgs.co.uk/2017/01/stabby-granny-cowl-free-crochet-pattern-paintbox-yarn.html#links">COWL</a> !!<br />
<br />
My grannies are made of 8 rounds (bag panels) or 6 rounds (handles), but you can choose if to crochet smaller or bigger ones !!! ;oD<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>FIRST PANEL</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The colours for my grannies were chosen while crocheting each one of them !<br />
<br />
Only the first square (=the central one) was completely crocheted in 8 rounds.<br />
<br />
The other squares were completed (part of the 8th round was done during the join) while joining to the main square and/or to the other ones !<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>SECOND PANEL</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Nothing difficult, as I followed the previous method, used for the first panel!<br />
<br />
I only put one big safety pin on the bag's "top-to-be", just to remember not to join that side, too, as the bag needs an openining to put in and out your own stuff (grocery, books, crochet, knitting, etc...)!<br />
<br />
Each panel measures : 44 cm x 44 cm<br />
<br />

The lovely thing about this joining method is that you don't really need to block your squares, as they are stretched into the right shape while joining them !<br />

Just look at the above picture : the pink square and the black one have slightly curved sides, but when the green square is joined, the sides become straight !!!! Really good !!!!<br />

Pick up your bag-to-be and, keeping it in front of you with the opening upward, insert the hook in the right top corner of the first square and join the new yarn. Chain 1 and make 1 DC (=double crochet) in the same corner.<br />
<br />
The idea is to make a complete round of "stabby shells" (may I say that ??) in each space between couples of shells of the stabby squares : easy peasy, right? (look the above pictures)<br />
<br />
How to behave into the adjoining corners of two squares ?<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Very simple (look above pictures) : work 1 DC in last corner, 1 DC in space between the two corners, 1 DC in new corner !!!<br />
<br />
The pattern is repeated around the entire opening of the bag.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
When you work your last DC (= the one in the space between first square and last square !), slip stitch in the top of the first DC of the round to complete your first round !<br />

<br />
<br />
After the slip stitch, with the same yarn chain 1 and work 1 single crochet (=SC) in the same stitch.<br />
Crochet 1 SC in each stitch of the first round. When you reach the last stitch, make a slip stitch in first SC made.<br />
<br />
Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in all the tails : your border is done !!!<br />

<b>BAG HANDLES (make 2)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Differently from the <a href="http://homemadeatmyplace.blogspot.com/2017/01/crochet-japanese-knot-bag.html#links">Japanese knot bag</a>, the handles in this tote bag are symmetrical and each of them are made of 4 stabby squares.<br />
<br />
The other difference is that we are going to work a smaller stabby square : instead of 8 rounds, this time we need squares of 6 rounds each !<br />
<br />
Another important thing to note is that each side of the squares (6th round completed) is made of 20 stitches. From corner to corner you will count in : 1 chain, 3 half double crochets, 4 shells of 3 stitches each (total stitches = 12), 3 half double crochets and 1 chain.<br />
<br />
Knowing this, you have to place your stitch markers along the bag border in the stitches where you intend to attach your handles. A couple of stitch markers for each handle end, positioning the first marker in the 1st stitch and the 2nd marker in the 20th stitch ! ;oD<br />
<br />
Even this time I'm using the "join-as-you-go" method, but you can simply stitch the handles along the bag border, if you prefer.<br />
<br />

<b><br /></b>
You have to put the bag upside-down, with the opening towards yourself.<br />
<br />
You need even a stabby granny with 5 rounds completed.<br />
<br />
Start the 6th (and last ) round of your square (in any corner) : 3 half DC, chain 1 and start the joining, as follows :<br />
<br />
slip stitch in first stitch of the border (where you have your stitch marker, mine is gone, but you see an arrow on the right of the above picture), work 1 hDC (=half double crochet) and slip stitch in the correspondent stitch along the border, work 1 hDC and slip stitch in the correspondent stitch along the border, work last hDC and slip stitch in correspondent stitch along the border. The first corner of your square is done !<br />
Work the following 4 shells (= 12 stitches) in the same way : after each stitch of the shells are done, remember to make a slip stitch in the correspondent stitch along the border !<br />
When the shells are completed and all 12 stitches are joined to the border, work the first 4 stitches of the second corner : 3 hDC (work one stitch, then make a slip stitch in the correspondent stitch along the border, 3 times!), then 1 slip stitch in last correspondent stitch along the border, where you have the other stitch marker!!! JOINING DONE !<br />
<br />
To complete the corner, just : chain 1 and work 3 hDC ! Continue to crochet the last round as usual!<br />
<br />

<b>2- attaching the following two squares of the handle</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This time the joining is much more simpler, as you have only to slip stitch in the spaces between two shells, as Miki already described in her <a href="http://www.sfmgs.co.uk/2017/01/stabby-granny-cowl-free-crochet-pattern-paintbox-yarn.html#links">COWL pattern</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
You need other 2 stabby squares, with their 5th round completed.<br />
<br />
You start the 6th round as usual : 3 hDC in any corner, then chain 1. Crochet a slip stitch in the opposite corner of the square already joined (see above picture), then work the other 3 hDC in same corner, with no extra slip stitches! Slip stitch in space between corner and first shell and crochet an usual shell, with no slip stitches !!! Repeat this simple pattern until you reach the 2nd corner, where you work 3 hDC, slip stitch in second corner of previous square, chain 1 and work 3 hDC in corner.<br />
<br />
Continue your square as usual!<br />
<br />
Repeat the same joining for the 3rd square, too !!!<br />

You have to use both joining methods this time !<br />
<br />
First you use the simpler one to join the two squares together, while to join this last square to the other side of the bag, just follow the first method showed to you !!!<br />
