MAKE IT ! A very simple heart !!!

 I know it`s not a pattern written yesterday, but in February 2018...The fact is that I did post it on my old IG feed, so you can`t find it anymore, and this is the right time of the year to revive it !


WHAT YOU NEED
  • Some DK leftover yarn (sorry but I don`t remember which one mine was from... it doesn`t matter, trust me!)
  • a 4mm hook
  • scissors and yarn needle
The pattern is written following US crochet terminology.
Please note that the turning chains are never considered as proper stitches!
Tr5tog = It`s a decrease,in this specific case used to give the top curves of the heart. It`s done by working each stitch up to its second to last step and then pulling through all remaining loops.

Pattern:


Make a slip knot on your hook and chain 3.

Row 1 (RS): wrap yarn around hook and insert tip in first chain, work 2DC, turn. [2sts]
Row 2 (WS): 2ch, 2DC in first st, 2DC in next st, turn. [4sts]
Row 3: 2ch, 2DC in first st, 2DC, 2DC in last st, turn. [6sts]
Row 4: 2ch, 2DC in first st, 4DC, 2DC in last st, turn. [8sts]
Row 5: 2ch, 2DC in first st, 6DC, 2DC in last st, turn. [10sts]
Row 6: 2ch, 10DC, turn.


Row 7 (RS): 3ch, tr5tog, fasten off.  [right heart curve]


Same Row 7: join yarn in next st with a sl st, 3ch, work another tr5tog and fasten off. [left heart curve]

Weave in all ends and the heart is done!


If you crochet some hearts from this pattern, what use will you make of them? I`m really curious to know, so ... 

Thank you, xxxx Alessandra

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 ...

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 ...

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...
