Stackable Stretchy Rings for Toddlers (Scrunchies)




My son suddenly became obsessed with my only velvet scrunchie.  Out of nowhere, it became an item of comfort and something I could use to get him to listen a bit better, like when he doesn't want me to brush his teeth after he's already had his turn to them himself.  


I remembered seeing crocheted scrunchies before, I even made some in my high school days.  So I sat down and knocked out a couple of these without realizing what a great TOY they would be for my 3-year-old.  The next day I made a few more so he had a nice rainbow assortment.  He stacks them, he wears them, he counts them, he tells me their colors, it's hours of entertainment!

This pattern is very basic and customizable.


Materials Needed:


Abbreviations:

Ch = Chain

HDC = half double crochet

Sl st = slip stitch

Pattern:

Make a chain long enough to wrap around your hair ties.  I didn't have any hair ties, so I used 2 rubber bands and I did ch 7.  Wrap the chain around your hair ties or rubber bands, taking care not to twist it.  Sl st in the first stitch to form a ring.  In same st HDC.  HDC around (7 st).  


At this point, you could place a stitch marker and keep count of your rounds, but I did not bother.  I just started working in the round without keeping track until there was enough to go around my rubber bands and it be a little bit "frilly" but not too much.  Once you've done enough you can either fasten off and leave a long tail to sew the two ends together, or you can just slip stitch through both layers of the ends to close.  There will be a seam if you do this, but I didn't feel like pulling out a tapestry needle so I opted to slip stitch and the seam isnt noticable enough to bother us.

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 ...
