Make it! A bunch of flowers !!!

In my last post you can look at some flowers I've been using to decorate the tops (they are glued on them) of some bottles' lids and today I'm going to share the patterns (sorry, no photo tutorial!) with you …






You need :

  • one hook (4mm in my case)
  • some colourful yarns ( from my stash : MODA VERA MARVEL 8ply, 100% acrylic)
  • a pair of scissors
  • a yarn needle
  • please, remember I follow the US crochet terminology! ;oD


The REBEL FLOWER




Choose a colour for the centre of your flower, make a slip knot on the hook, chain 4 and insert the tip of the hook in the first chain made, to form a ring.
First round : chain 2 and crochet 12 DC (= double crochets) into the ring and slip stitch in the top of the first DC. Cut yarn and fasten off. Trim in the ends.
Second round : choose a new colour and make a slip knot on the hook. Push the hook in any DC top and make 1 SC (= single crochet), chain 9, make 1 SC in the 3rd chain from the hook and make other 6 SC in the next chains left . You will have your first petal made of 7 SC. Attach the petal in the same starting DC with a SC. In the following DC you will crochet the second (shorter) petal : 1 SC, chain 6, 1 SC in the 3rd chain from the hook and 3 more SC in the following chains left. Your mini petal is formed by 4 SC.
You need to crochet 10 more petals (5 big+5 small), just repeating the above directions given for the first 2 petals.
When the last small petal is done, make a slip stitch in the first SC of the first big petal made.
Cut the yarn and fasten off. Trim in the ends.



The CURLY FLOWER




As for the previous flower, choose a colour for the centre.
Follow the initial directions and the first round written for the REBEL FLOWER.
Second round : pick a new colour and make a slip knot on the hook. Push the hook in any DC top and make 1 SC, chain 12 and, in the same DC, make another SC to complete the petal (this is the big one). In the next DC, make 1 SC, chain 8 and define the petal with 1 SC in the same DC. You have just crocheted the small petal.
Even for this flower, you have to crochet 10 more petals (5 big + 5 small), just following the directions given above.
When the last small petal is completed, make a slip stitch in the first SC of the first petal.
Cut the yarn and fasten off. Trim in the ends.



The SUNNY FLOWER




Even for this flower, follow the same directions given for the beginning and the first round of the REBEL FLOWER!
Second round : choose a new colour and make a slip knot on the hook. Insert the hook in any DC top, chain 2 and make 2 DC. In each following DC top, just do the same : crochet 2 DC. At the end, you will have 24 DC. Cut the yarn and fasten off. Trim in the ends.
Third round : you can decide between two options ! "A" option (on the left, in the above picture) : choose a new colour and make a slip knot on the hook. Push the hook in any DC top and make 1 SC and start the point : chain 5, slip stitch in the 2nd chain from the hook, 1 SC in 3rd, 1 half DC in 4th and 1 DC in fifth, the point is done. Attach it in 2nd DC you meet, while skipping the first DC close to the beginning DC, just with 1 SC. You need to crochet other 11 points. When the last one is done, make a slip stitch in the first SC, cut the yarn and fasten off. Trim in the ends. "B" option (on the right, in the above picture) : the SC to attach the points are made in the spaces between two groups of DC!! Easy peasy! Even here, when completed the last point, make a slip knot into the first SC, cut the yarn and fasten off. Trim in the ends.


If interested, you can crochet even a SUN MOTIF !!! Have fun !!!! ;oD

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
