Materials:

Artiste #8 Crochet Cotton in black, bright lime, and white

Size F hook

Tapestry needle

Fabric glue OR needle and thread

Eyes (make 2)

Start with magic ring
Rnd 1: ch 1, dc 12 in the ring, tighten ring, slst to 1st dc (12 dc)

Rnd 2: ch 1, dc 2 in each dc around, slst to 1st dc (24 dc)

Rnd 3: ch 1 hdc 1 in each dc around, slst to 1st hdc, fasten off, weave in ends (24 hdc)

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hk and in each remaining chs, ch 1, turn (4 sc)

Row 2: sc2tog (twice), ch 1, turn (2 sc)

Row 3: sc 1 in both sts, ch 1, turn (2 sc)

Row 4: sc2tog, ch 1, fasten off, weave in ends (1 sc)

Mouth:

With black, ch 6, then slst 4 across top of tooth. Ch 4, then slst 4 across 2nd tooth, ch 6. Tie a knot at the end of the ch then cut off excess string on both sides.

Now you can attach the appliques to the onesie by either using fabric glue or needle and thread in matching color. I chose to use fabric glue. I you are going to go this route please take note that a little goes a long way. I also put a piece of cardboard in between the onesie to keep the glue from seeping through to the other side. Let dry according to the glue's instructions.

All done!

Baby Crochet Leg Warmers

2014-01-13T13:09:00.002-08:00

Lately, I've been experimenting with different baby crochet patterns since Samia is the perfect size for them.

Hey Divas! I've been debating on whether I should do an earring tutorial only because I sometimes I have a hard time verbally explaining things. But I really wanted to do this tutorial. So I made a video to along with the written pattern to help explain things a little better. I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to ask any questions.

Start with magic ring

Rnd 1: ch 3, dc 11 in ring, tighten ring, slst to top of ch, fasten off

Rnd 2: Join 2nd color with slst to any dc, ch 1, sc 2 in each st around, slst to first sc, fasten off

Assembly

Use strings that are left out to attach ring and fish hook. Refer to the YouTube videos below for assistance. Use the scrap fabric to iron the earrings by placing the earring face down then the fabric on top of the earring. Hold the iron on top of the fabric for a few seconds. I use the highest temp on my iron, but you may choose to lower the temp to be on the safe side. Spray the earrings with the fabric stiffener on both sides of the earring and let them dry. Once dry you can spray the earrings again to make them stiffer.

Enjoy!!!

Crochet Flower Ring Tutorial

2012-05-15T10:54:00.000-07:00

Hey Divas! Okay, so I decided to take a break from making earrings for a second and decided to make a ring. This is what I came up with and since this is my first real pattern I decided to share it (so bear with me). :-)

Printable Version

Materials:
Aunt Lydia's Size 3 Fashion Thread (I used colors Tangerine and Warm Teal)
Size 0/3.25MM crochet hook
Tapestry needle
Small beads of choice
Needle and Thread
Permanent fabric bond (optional)

Special Stitch:
Picot-3: ch 3, slst in 3rd ch from hk

Flower:
Rnd 1: Start with magic ring, ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc 19 into ring, slst to top of ch 3 (make sure to tighten your magic ring). Fasten off.
Rnd 2: Join new color with slst to any st. Ch 1, sc 1 in each st around, slst to first sc.
Rnd 3: Ch 1, **sc 1 in first st, sk next st, (dc 4, Picot-3, dc 4) in next st. Repeat from ** to end. Slst to first sc. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Ring Band:
ch 6
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hk and in each remaining chs
Row 2: ch 1, sc in each st.
Repeat Row 2 until band wraps perfectly around your desired finger. Fasten off leaving a 6 inch tail. Use the tail and tapestry needle to sew both ends of the band together. Weave in ends.

Assembly:
There are 2 different ways to do this part. I'll start with the way that I chose to do.

Option 1:
Sew beads onto flower making sure that you tie a knot around each bead to lock it in place. Use a small amount of permanent fabric bond to glue the flower to the ring band. To keep this step from getting messy I poured some glue onto a paper plate and I used a foam brush to brush the glue on. Let the ring dry according to the directions on the permanent glue bond. (I chose this method because I did not want any thread to be seen. You may choose option 2 if you do not have any permanent fabric bond.)


Foam Brush

Option 2:
Sew the flower and the beads on at the same time making sure that you tie a knot around each bead to lock it in place.

This is what it should look like once assembled.

Enjoy!!!
