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...

I know spring is approaching, so I was thinking of a pair of light fingerless gloves with a small old far west lure ... What do you think, are you in, too ? The construction is very simple : you need to crochet 2 basic granny squares and then embellish them with some colourful fringes !!! I crocheted them in just one afternoon !!!! WHAT YOU NEED I've been working with : a 4 mm hook a 50 g acrylic yarn ball from  Filatura Cervinia CAPRICE  shade denim blue (gloves) small amount of  Sirdar COUNTRY STYLE wool blend DK  shade 397 periwinkle ( for top/bottom/thumb borders) small amount of  TIGER garn/yarn (plied) ,  Sirdar Wash'n'Wear Double Crepe DK  shade Original Denim,  CHARITY Double Knit Pullskein  shade 011 silver grey and  Filati Cervinia CAPRICE  shade orange (fringes) a pair of scissors a yarn needle Please remember that I follow the US crochet termilogy, thank you ! You need to know how to crochet...

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 ...
