Mini Cushion from a Blanket Pattern.

  


 

I wanted to make a cute little pillow for a Valentine’s Day gift. I just had a partial skein of yarn in my stash with no idea how much was remaining.  I just wanted to find a square I could crochet from the inside out so I could use up all the yarn was left and then make a custom pillow insert to go inside.   I came across the Raised Squared Waffle by Buttonnose Crochet on Ravelry and decided to use that for the square.  I followed the pattern until I was out of yarn. 

 

 

 

Then I got an old t-shirt and cut it where if I folded it in half it would be about 2-3 inches bigger than the crocheted work folded up.  I cut a bit of amazon box about 1.5” bigger than the crocheted work, so that the worked could stretch over the finished pillow.   

 

I then put that on the fabric and ironed it to put down marks to where the hem tape should go.  

 

I then used some HeatnBond for Hems to seal it while inside out except a small space for filling, and filled with Fairfield Poly Fil. 

   

I used another strip to seal it once full and then I folded the crocheted work over it and sewed it together

Textured Crossbody Tote Bag

I needed to make something for my niece's birthday, and I had a 10oz Skein of Red Heart Super Saver Ombre that I wanted to use as much as possible to make her a bag.  I couldn't find a pattern that clearly stated it would take around the amount of yarn (482 yards) that is in one of these, so I just sat down and started doing some things and out came this bag.  I used almost the entire skein, I had enough left to make 2 tassels, so I did and added those to the bag.   Materials Needed: Approx 10oz of   Worsted Weigh t or similar yarn, I used Red Heart Super Saver Ombre . 5mm Crochet Hook Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Optional: Tassel Maker Body: Ch 47 Row 1: Sc in 3rd ch from hook, sc in each ch across, 45 st.  Rotate, and sc in each ch on the other side, 45 st. (90 st). Place Marker. Row 2 - 4: Work in rounds, using your stitch marker at the end of each row to keep count.  Sc in each st (90 st) until the end of the ...

Granny Square Market Bag

Materials Needed: Around 590yd of DK yarn, I used Lion Brand Yarn 525-201 Mandala Yarn, Unicorn, 1-Pack 5mm Crochet Hook I also love to use my Boye Ergonomic Crochet Hook Handle , it really makes a difference! Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Summary: You can really use any granny square to do this.  It doesn’t have to be the same size or style as mine.  The idea is to make a large granny square, then cinch the top and bottom a lot and the sides a little less.  So if you are using a granny square you already have or one that’s different in size, just follow from row 24 on.  The chain 80 is for the straps, so you can adjust those on your preference.  Abbreviations: st = stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet sl = slip stitch hhdc = herringbone half double crochet Pattern: Row 1: ch 4, sl in 1st ch to form a ring.  Ch 3(counts as stitch), 2dc, ch2, *3dc ch2* repeat from * until you have 4 clusters of dc, sl to top o...

Granny Square Shrug Sweater

   I had seen a few granny square sweaters and shrugs, and I wanted to try making one.  This is a bit more of a "recipe" than a pattern.  I have written down exactly how I made one that fit me, but I also have notes on where to make adjustments and try it on to see if you need to make those changes.   Materials Needed: 6mm Crochet Hook Red Heart Comfort Yarn-Hot Pink , 1 ball Red Heart Super Saver Black , approximately 1.5 skeins Stitch Marker Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends) Summary: You can really use any granny square to do this.  It doesn’t have to be the same size or style as mine.  The idea is to make a large granny square, then cinch the top and bottom a lot and the sides a little less.  So if you are using a granny square you already have or one that’s different in size, just start with "Securing into Sweater Shape."  Abbreviations: st = stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet sl = slip stitch ...
