One Skein Throw Pillow Envelope Covers

 After Halloween one year I scored 3 throw pillows for only $1 each.  However, I can't keep them out all year long looking how they looked.  I found another random throw pillow in our house, a sequin covered one, and add it in with the other pillows and got to work on a cover.

This pattern uses only one 236 yd skein of yarn per cover!



Materials needed


Ch35
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch and in each across. (34 sts)
Row 2: *sc in first st, dc in next* repeat to end. Ch1 and turn (34 sts)
Row 3 and beyond: repeat row 2 until rectangle reaches desired, 69 rows for me.
Now, fold your cover over the pillow so that a few inches overlap. 
You may have to stretch your cover out a bit to do this. Use stitch markers to make off where the 2 ends touch.
Once you have it lined up as pictured, sew it together on both sides.

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 round. Row 5: *Dc in next stitch, Fpdc in

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 of ch3. Row 2:  sl st to the corner

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 Pattern: Main Body: Row
