Raffia is a material, that is a little difficult to deal with, but if you take it in small steps, you could persevere in a few days.</div><div>Crocheting (or knitting) a bucket hat (or actually any hat) is a creative endeavor that allows you to express yourself, develop new skills, and enjoy the process of making something uniquely fashionable. What do you get out of it?</div><div><br /></div><div><span> </span>1. <i>Customization:</i> Crocheting a bucket hat allows you to make a unique gift. You can choose your favorite colors, patterns, and yarn materials to design a hat that perfectly matches your or someone else's taste. </div><div><span> </span>2. <i>Handmade and Personal Touch:</i> Making a bucket hat can be a thoughtful gift for someone special or a way to express your creativity and individuality. </div><div><span> </span>3. <i>Skill Development:</i> Crocheting a bucket hat enhances your crocheting skills. You can learn new stitches, techniques, and patterns while working on the project, improving your abilities and expanding your repertoire of crochet skills. </div><div><span> </span>4. <i>Practicality and Versatility:</i> Bucket hats are practical. They provide sun protection for your face and neck, making them suitable for outdoor activities such as gardening, beach outings, or picnics. Your imagination can offer a unique and stylish twist to this functional accessory.</div><div><span> </span>5. <i>Relaxation and Mindfulness:</i> Crocheting is known for its therapeutic benefits. It can help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and increase mindfulness. The repetitive motions and focus required in crocheting can be soothing, allowing you to unwind and enjoy the process.</div><div><span> </span>6. <i>Cost-Effective:</i> Crocheting your bucket hat can be a cost-effective alternative to buying one. Yarn and crochet hooks can be inexpensive, and you can create multiple hats from a single skein of yarn. You have the added self-satisfaction of making a unique gift using your hands.</div><div><span> </span>7. <i>Connection and Community:</i> People enjoy crocheting as a hobby. By joining crochet communities, online forums, or local knitting and crocheting groups, you can connect with fellow crafters, share your projects, and learn from others' experiences. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Materials used:</b></div><div><br /></div><div>2 cones of raffia, one in pink and one in black, which I purchased via <b><a href="https://amzn.to/45UKFXb" target="_blank">AMAZON</a> </b><i>(by clicking on the link and purchasing Raffia, I will get a few pennies, which will support more of your free patterns.)</i></div><div><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085L2N5WS?ie=UTF8&th=1&linkCode=li1&tag=productre0734-20&linkId=32c2a87a3cc8c9d5fa95d4a65d35c376&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_il" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B085L2N5WS&Format=_SL110_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=productre0734-20&language=en_US" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=productre0734-20&language=en_US&l=li1&o=1&a=B085L2N5WS" style="border: none; margin: 0px;" width="1" />

And let me tell you, this was a challenge. I had to pull a thick yarn through a very tight cotton string base on the rubber soles. <div>I started first with a yarn needle. That didn't work, so II switched to a 1.65 mm stainless steel hook. That worked, but I destroyed it after working on my first boot. I tossed it and went rummaging into my hook box. I found another stainless steel hook, this time a 2 mm one. This hook worked out fine, but it was harder to push it through and then pull it out with the yarn. I worked slowly to distribute all slip stitches (my base) evenly. I pulled 51 slip stitches on my first boot but 52 on my second. I solved my problem by crocheting two single crochet stitches together in the second row in order to have both my boots sized identically.</div><div>When I was attaching the top part (instep), I made sure I achieved the same number of stitches for both ankles. Each boot took me one day to finish. I think these boots would make a great gift. </div><div><p>You may not be able to find the same yarn (I bought it a while ago) - I pulled it out of my considerable stash. I would suggest using any ribbon type of yarn because my yarn is in a shape of a ribbon.</p><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">ALSO:</span></b></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Please, consider supporting my blog and YouTube Channel by shopping on Amazon via <a href="https://amzn.to/3QV4w0E" target="_blank">MY AFFILIATE LINK</a>.

Since I am an artist and an avid knitter and a crocheter I obviously had to stop at a local yarn store. OMG. This lady owner supplies her knitting community with the most gorgeous selection of yarns from many artisan spinners. Most of her yarns are VERY expensive, but these yarns are a pure art form. I wanted to take a thousand dollars and spent it there. Unfortunately, I could not do it. I have a budget and that is just it. So I settled for ONE skein of the most beautiful "pinkiest" and softest yarn I saw in the store. In my mind, I saw a beautiful princess in a beautiful hat! And so did my husband. If I would be younger I would try to have another baby just because of this softest skein of yarn. But... I just bought the yarn. Actually, my husband made me buy it. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">And I decided to write a pattern for this hat as I knit. Just a simple, plushy, soft, gorgeous, pointy elf hat. For a little princess.<br />
<br />
This yarn is thick and thin. Very textured. And gorgeously pink. I am sure the computer image will not do justice to the color of my fluffy yarn.<br />
<br />
I decided to use 9mm knitting needles and knit a simple pointy hat on DPNs. As I am knitting (and writing this post) I already LOVE how the hat is turning out (and I am wishing I would have a 6-12 month-old baby). So, here is the pattern:<br />

I find the artistry behind yarn-making fascinating. I also love variegated yarns - the ones that appeal to my eye and style.<p></p><p>About half a year ago I was scrolling through some websites with yarns and came across Lana Grossa, Gomitolo Puno. There were several very pretty variegated balls on display. So I bought 4 different skeins. Among them, I added to my cart one that was semi-neutral, in a sage/gray color.</p><p>Unfortunately, this yarn is now <b><a href="https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/lana-grossa-gomitolo-puno" target="_blank">discontinued</a></b> (what else is new), but you may still find it somewhere on the world wide web. </p><p>If it is out of your reach, you could substitute this yarn with another one - but make sure it is #2 weight (sock yarn thickness). You could use <b><a href="https://yarnsub.com/yarns/lana_grossa/gomitolo_puno" target="_blank">THIS</a></b> link to find a similar yarn. Or see <b><a href="https://amzn.to/3PM97kY" target="_blank">THIS</a></b> sparkly yarn from Amazon (an affiliate link).</p><p><b>Please, consider supporting my blog and YouTube Channel by shopping on Amazon via <a href="https://amzn.to/3QV4w0E" target="_blank">MY AFFILIATE LINK</a>.

I decided to use my leftover sock yarn - all in all, the leftovers came up to about a little less than 2 balls (2 different kinds of yarn).<br />
My daughter told me that the shoe size of this young lady is 11. Since they are living very far from me and didn't have measurements of my daughter's friend's feet, I had to do some research on how approximately long these socks need to be. And I just second-guessed how wide the socks could most likely be. After much of thinking and poking around the internet, I decided to start socks on 64 sts. The socks are knitted like the "<b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2020/03/simple-socks-for-gentlemen-shoe-size-13.html" target="_blank">Simple Socks For Gentlemen - Shoe Size 13</a></b>" - however, I tweaked the number of rows and decreases a bit, and changed the decreases in the toe area a little (made it more round instead of angular.)<br />
Oh yes and don't forget to check my <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/HandMadeRukodelky/videos" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a></b> also - plenty of other detailed videos there.<br /><br />
In the meantime knit some socks for your daughters, sons, other family members, friends... If you need help, see the video for reference. More videos will be posted on my Youtube channel in the future.<br />

<br />
<b><i>The Cuff</i></b><br />
<br />
I knitted the initial 7 rows with CC yarn, then I switched to MC yarn.<br />
<br />
<b>Rnd 1-7</b> (CC) *[K1, P1]* - to the end of the row, then distribute the stitches evenly, among 4 DPNs (or use either 2 pairs of short circular needles or circular needles with a long cable), without twisting your knitted row, connect needles into a circle<br />
<br />
<b>Rnd 8-50</b> (MC) *[K1, P1]* - to end of each row. Make your cuff as long as you want. I knitted this cuff about 5.5" long. <br /><i><b><span style="color: #990000;">Note: Do not cut off your MC yarn, you will continue with it after you are finished with your heel flap and turning heel.</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>The Heel Flap</i></b><br />
<br />
For the heel flap, I used CC yarn.<br />
If knitting on DPN's divide your stitches as such: needle #1 -32 sts, needles #2 and #3 - 16 sts each. If you are using circular needles you most likely have stitches divided into 32 + 32 between your magic loops. Use markers if needed.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><i>Turning The Heel (row by row)</i></b><br />
<br />
Keep working your sock back and forth (NOT in the round), starting with Row 1.<br />

<b><br /></b><b><br /><i>The Gusset</i></b><b><i> (round by round)</i></b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Note: you will work from now on RS only in the round. Use MC from now on until the toe area.</b></i><br />
<br />
You should finish with 18 sts on your needle, and you are ready to pick up stitches along the sides of your flap. You will proceed as such:<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>turn your sock sideways and pick up 13 stitches along the first side using a knitting needle and your MC color yarn; </li>
<li>then K18 (the "turning the heel stitches")</li>
<li>pick up another 13 sts along the other side of the flap</li>
<li>then K32 sts - you should have now 76 stitches on your needles, distributed as such: <b>N1</b>(<i>this will be the BEGINNING of the row</i>) - 13 sts (= <i>first side of the flap</i>); <b>N2</b> - 18 sts (<i>from turning the heel</i>); <b>N3</b> - 13 sts (= <i>second side of the flap</i>); <b>N4</b> - 36 sts (<i>top of the foot</i>) </li>
</ul><div><i><b>Note: If you are knitting on DPNs you will need 5 knitting needles to continue knitting this sock. If you are using circular needles insert markers between the 13-18-13-36 sts to keep track of your work.</b></i></div><div><i><b>Now we have to decrease some stitches on both sides of your flap to get back to 64 sts total on our needles - we will do that by decreasing while working on our gusset.</b></i></div>
<br />
Let's start with Rnd 1 on the side using MC (from the cuff)<br />

<br />
Let's start with Rnd 1 again for ease of counting.<br />
<br />
<b>Rnd 1-60</b> K64<br /><br />
<br /><b><i>The Toe Part</i></b><br />
<br />Switch yarn color to CC. Let's start with Rnd 1<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><i>To Finish Each Sock:</i></b><br />
<br />
Combine the first 12 sts on one needle, then combine the last 12 sts on another needle, cut off about a foot-long tail, thread it into your yarn needle, and using the Kitchener Stitch close the toe gap. Weave in all the ends/tails. Then wear it or gift it.<br />

Not only because knitting cables is more time-consuming than just simple knitting, but I tend to start other projects as well. So, if you want to knit this "Beehive Sweater," give yourself ample time to finish it on time.
If you want to knit the sweater, you need to know how to cast on, how to knit "knit" and "purl" stitches, C4F and C4B stitches, and how to bind off. <p></p><div>If you are attempting to knit cables for the first time, do not despair. I have several videos grouped into a playlist for this project. Yes, my videos can be lengthy at times. But if you feel you understand what I am demonstrating, skip those parts. And if you don't understand, what is happening, play the video again. I hope you will find these videos helpful.</div><div><br /></div><div>I knitted this sweater in a rectangle way. (See the diagram below). Sleeves can be knitted as rectangles or tapered. You decide if you want them wide, or more narrow around the wrist area.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zU_oS-uqndE/YU4wR_E7_5I/AAAAAAAANVM/zrLBU1uZRKcQ_E0AA4Pz70u-62kTSr9oACLcBGAsYHQ/s900/BeehiveSweaterHarrie_collage_800x900.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zU_oS-uqndE/YU4wR_E7_5I/AAAAAAAANVM/zrLBU1uZRKcQ_E0AA4Pz70u-62kTSr9oACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/BeehiveSweaterHarrie_collage_800x900.jpg" width="284" /></a></div></div><div>I also would like to talk about how you can size this sweater. It seems that 12 rows and 16 stitches both measure three inches (3"). So, from this knowledge, draw a plan of how wide and long your sweater should be. Don't forget to consider that if you wash your finished sweater, it may stretch - my small size turned into nearly a medium size. However, my daughter loves this oversized and cozy gift. The sleeves are longer than I anticipated. I suggested to my daughter that I would shorten them - it would be no problem since they are knitted from the shoulder down toward the wrist. However, she refused me to fix "the problem." So with this knowledge, you can decide how many repeat cables in rows and stitches you prefer. Also, consider having the sweater dry cleaned.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, let me talk a little about the head opening. In the video, I am demonstrating the binding off 44 stitches. You can also see that I had to rip it because the head opening was too big (it would, most likely, work better for a larger person). Instead, the second time around, I bound off 36 stitches. (See the image above of how it looks after I washed the sweater). I feel it would be even better if I bound off 28 stitches, but my daughter loves it as it is. The binding off 28 stitches, few shoulder rows, and casting on 28 stitches would make the head opening hug the neck area, yet it would have enough space to pull the sweater over the head. So again, using this information, you can tailor your project to any person's body and what the person prefers.</div><div><br /></div><div>I doubled the strands because I didn't have any chunky yarn at hand. However, I had nearly 2 kilos of Knit Picks DK Merino. You may replace it with chunky yarn if you wish. Perhaps you would love to use light and fluffy (chunky) yarn instead of merino. Then all you have to do is a swatch to make sure you will size your work correctly. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Please, consider supporting my blog and YouTube Channel by shopping on Amazon via <a href="https://amzn.to/3QV4w0E" target="_blank">MY AFFILIATE LINK</a>.

I am sure there will be other situations/places where I can wear my capelet. If you use a very fine yarn you could knit it even as a cover over a wedding gown, and/or have capelets made for your bridesmaids over their dresses to keep them warm in a church.</p><p>The length of your capelet will depend on how much of your arms you would like to cover. My capelet reaches to elbows, but you could also alter rows between the patterns "A" and "B" and make the capelet longer or shorter. You can also decide on a different pattern that fits the number of stitches after you are finished with increases, however before you will start any pattern of your choice, you may have to add few extra (1+) stitches to accommodate the number of needed stitches for your repeats.</p><p>For my capelet I used worsted yarn and a bigger size knitting needles than recommended by the manufacturer. My yarn is Casablanka by Cascade Yarns - a blend of wool, silk and mohair. I used this yarn for my husband's sweater which he loves and wears often. You can see my husband's raglan sweater in the video as well. I had two skeins left over from my husband's sweater project and wanted to make a good use of it. Although it is a little itchy, so you may have to substitute this yarn for a different, softer yarn.</p><p><b><i>Beware: I used both 2 skeins in their entirety. If you are loose knitter you may either use 5.5 mm knitting needles, or make 1-2 row less between the patterns, or purchase one extra skein.</i></b></p><p><b><a href="https://youtu.be/PzCekvq26dc" target="_blank">FOR A VIDEO CLICK HERE</a> (it will be published 7-14-21 @ 8am EST)</b></p><p><b>Please, consider supporting my blog and YouTube Channel by shopping on Amazon via <a href="https://amzn.to/3QV4w0E" target="_blank">MY AFFILIATE LINK</a>.

Not too long ago, I received yarn from "ICE YARNS" (a yarn company in Turkey) in support of my dress design for a two-year-old girl.
The yarn is called "Baby Merino." It is a combination of merino, acrylic, and polyamide yarns. The materials in this yarn make it easy to take care of the finished product. Wash it on a gentle cycle in cool water with like items and lay it flat to dry.<p></p><p>As the name of the yarn suggests, the company developed it for baby knits. I just adore the combination of pink-gray-white colors, and so these were the colors I picked to use for knitting this girl's dress. </p><p>I carried the dress idea in my head for a while - finally, today I finished it, which I can publish another free written pattern for you.</p><p>While knitting this dress, you need to know how to do these stitches: Knit, purl, m1R, m1L, m1P, bobble, YO, and knit below 4 stitches. No worries if you do not know how to do some of the stitches - I show my viewers how to knit these stitches in my video (for right-handed knitters and left-handed knitters also.) </p><p> If you would like to knit this dress, you will have to buy the yarn online. One way is to contact the <b><a href="https://www.iceyarns.com/baby_merino#" target="_blank">ICE YARNS</a></b> company (however, they sell their yarns in bulk), or visit <a href="https://yarnnut.com/collections/yarns-in-stock-ready-to-ship/products/baby-merino-yarn-ice-yarns?_pos=1&_sid=70b7bf4c0&_ss=r&variant=34719768346758" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">THIS WEBSITE</a>, or find your yarn via eBay, or Etsy. </p><p>Also, according to measurements, it is for a 2-year-old toddler. If you want to make it for a 3-year-old you may increase strap stitches from 30 sts to 36 sts (make it wider around the body), so instead of 36-30-36-30 stitches, you would have 36-36-36-36 sts. For a 4-year-old girl, I would increase the front, back, and strap stitches to 42-36-42-36, where 42 sts would represent the straps and 36 sts would represent the back/front parts. However, you need to use your judgment. Of course with more stitches in your body area, the number count would change accordingly.</p><p>If you'd love to knit along with me - click on either link below (depending on if you are rightie or leftie).</p><p><b><a href="https://youtu.be/H5hArOX_3I0" target="_blank">VIDEO "PINK HEAVEN" FOR RIGHTIES</a></b></p><p><b><a href="https://youtu.be/yRGmUrwRe_4" target="_blank">VIDEO "PINK HEAVEN" FOR LEFTIES</a></b></p><p><b><i>SOON THERE WILL BE A CROCHET VERSION OF THIS DRESS.</i></b></p><p>ENJOY.</p><p><b>Material:</b><br /></p><ul><li>Yarn - ICE YARNS, Baby Merino; Colors: 2 balls of Salmon, 1 ball of White, and 1 ball of Gray; Sport (#2); 40% Merino, 40% Acrylic, 20% Polyamide; 1.76 oz/50g; 218 yds/200 m; </li><li>Knitting needles #3 (3.25 mm)</li><li>Markers<br /></li><li>Hook 2.75 mm</li><li>Yarn needle (to weave in the ends)</li><li>Scissors</li></ul><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Abbreviations:</b></div><div>CO - cast on</div><div>K - knit<br />P - purl<br />M - marker</div><div>m1L - pick a leading strand between the stitches by inserting a needle front to back and knit a stitch leaning to the left<br />m1R - pick a leading strand between the stitches by inserting a needle back to front and knit a stitch leaning to the right</div><div>m1P - using the m1R technique (insert a needle back to front) purl the stitch instead of knitting it</div><div>B - bobble: with a knitting needle or a hook pull yarn through the stitch to the desired height of the bobble (keep it on the needle, do not drop it just yet), then YO and pull yarn through the same stitch - do this 3 times (7 loops on your needle or hook), then pull yarn through all the seven loops, and pull yarn again through the stitch you just made, then pull yarn through the stitch right below the stitch you were working your bobble in, and lastly pull the yarn through the two loops.

However, since I am on a budget, I tend to buy yarns when there is a good buy (sale, clearance). If the yarn has a great content (alpaca, merino, silk...) then that is an added bonus.<p></p><p>Italy is well known for its wonderful products - by design and by quality, so when I saw LANA GROSSA at such a great price on "<b><a href="http://yarn.com" target="_blank">Yarn website</a></b>", I bought several balls. As I was looking at different colors, I was at the same time designing and knitting or crocheting in my head. I looked at the yarn and was thinking: "I could make myself a <b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2020/09/adriatic-summer-sky-blouse-medium-size.html" target="_blank">nice blouse from this color</a></b>. And maybe crochet something cool from this color. I could use this color for my <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/HandMadeRukodelky/videos" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a></b>.</p><p>So today, let me present to you my crocheted blouse and skirt for the beach I designed for myself (and my virtual crochet friends). I will wear this set with a camisole and tights while having my evening walks on the beach. </p><p>This set is for a women's size medium, but you can size it very easily to any width by increasing or decreasing 8-stitch repeats. Each of my "8-stitch repeat" is 2 inches wide. Therefore, if you need let's say an increase of 6 inches, you would add 24 extra chain stitches [(6/2) x 8] to my initial chain count (the skirt - 149 sts, or the blouse - 77 sts). If you need to make the set for someone small and you need to make it let's say 2 inches narrower (blouse or skirt) you just need to deduct 8 sts from my initial chain count.<br /><br />The length (of either a blouse or skirt) can be controlled by crocheting number of rows. Crochet yourselves a mini-, midi- or maxidress. Your imagination is the limit. Make it your size and your style.</p><p>Do you prefer crocheting along my videos?

I knitted many outfits for my four AGDs and one Madam Alexander (one day I will show you those outfits in the video), then I dressed them up, took other pieces of their wardrobe to a library, and displayed them where children and adults could see the "knitted fashions." </div></div><p></p><p>Today, I would love to share with you another dress that I designed, and this time I also videotaped the making of the dress. If you knit this dress I hope you will make a little girl very happy. </p><p><b>Please, consider supporting my blog and YouTube Channel by shopping on Amazon via <a href="https://amzn.to/3QV4w0E" target="_blank">MY AFFILIATE LINK</a>.

I usually prefer projects that don't take weeks to finish. After all, I am just a "one-man" show. So when it is something that hits my string, I do grant the requested wish. I sit down and start creating. I love the process of thinking up the things, how to make them work. Occasionally, how to make someone else's work easier as well.<p></p><p>This time a nice crocheter asked: "Please, can you make a crochet version of your <b><a href="https://youtu.be/IOBBDm7UfxE" target="_blank">Mom's Knitted Scarf</a></b>?" </p><p>So first, I sat down and did some thinking. Then I did a couple of mini prototypes. I thought: "I should make a video tutorial on how to make a scarf for an American Girl Doll. And include some pointers on how to make it bigger. If you want to make it bigger, you need to adjust the rows and stitches> This way you will crochet a bigger/longer scarf. </p><p>Scroll down to the bottom of this page to read my ideas/pointers on how to make it happen.</p><p>Should you want to crochet along with my video click on the appropriate link below.</p><p><b>Please, consider supporting my blog and YouTube Channel by shopping on Amazon via <a href="https://amzn.to/3QV4w0E" target="_blank">MY AFFILIATE LINK</a>.

I search various yarn websites and marvel at all those beautiful skeins and dream what I could knit or crochet with them. But lately, I have been trying to be strict with myself. Seriously. I need to de-stash my yarn from all the hiding places. What can be quite sad is that by the time I get to knit some of the projects, the yarn is discontinued. Ugh, grrrr. <p></p><p>I bought this extravagant-looking yarn about five years ago. Four bags. Twenty balls of a greenish and twenty balls of a pinkish color. About two weeks ago, I pulled out the yummy green one with orange and purple speckles. I thought: "This will make a nice warm sweater for my petite daughter." </p><p>Here we are today - let me share a finished written pattern of the top-down sweater for XS/S women. Although the company discontinued this yarn, you may opt for another super bulky one, which yields 8 sts and 11 rows in 4", and you should be fine. Yes, the sweater will look different, but it will be your design knitted with my pattern.</p><p>f you are interested in watching my video about this sweater where I am presenting how to start a sleeve, you may click on one of the links below.<br /><br /></p><p><b>Please, consider supporting my blog and YouTube Channel by shopping on Amazon via <a href="https://amzn.to/3QV4w0E" target="_blank">MY AFFILIATE LINK</a>.

And not too long ago a knitter asked me to make a bunny hat for a 5/6-year-old. Since I have a big stash of yarn, I found a white yarn (no label but I think it is Lion Brand's Pound of Love, since it looks the same as my blue colored yarn that is Pound of Love that has a label). Then I needed a pink yarn for the inner part of the rabbit's ear. I had a leftover from Mandala Cake (also Lion Brand). However, that yarn was a little thinner which was perfect for my purpose. The hat was knitted from just one strand. When I was working on the ears' white part I used 2 strands, but for the pink part, I used one strand only.<br />Now if you would like to make the hat smaller you could (cast on 80 sts to make it 16" in diameter) and of course, knit a lower number of rows to make the hat shorter.<br />Add eyes, a nose, and whiskers if you wish.<br /><p></p><p>Of course, for people that do better knitting along with the videos, I recorded my knitting.

As my project this year I decided to knit a baby bib. With hearts. I found it very appropriate. <br />I went to my stash and found a leftover yarn from one of my projects (a scarf for my husband) I did a couple of years ago. The yarn I used was a red/black Scarfie. However, I used predominantly the red part only. I will be thinking about what I could do with the black/red part. Perhaps a hat to go with the bib? Or I could knit bloomers? <p></p><p>If you would like to see my playlist with a couple of Valentine's Day projects, including this "Bib", click on one of the links below:<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>PLAYLISTS:</b> </p><p><b><a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKziL--y2iAWmbbvZsrc5AF2r1BrqCEIy" target="_blank">VALENTINE'S DAY PROJECTS FOR RIGHTIES</a> <br /><a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKziL--y2iAVNMJ0_DjcGOWVbZmVBQYHP" target="_blank">VALENTINE'S DAY PROJECT FOR LEFTIES</a></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Materials:</b><br />Yarn -Lion Brand, Scarfie Yarn;

You can have one done in just five rows. Get yourself a cotton thread (I used Aunt Lydia's) and make few snowflakes. Every two or three years I decorate our tree with just my crocheted decorations and some blue lights. Other times I use them for window or dinner table decorating. Either way, occasionally, I love to surround myself with a simple, elegant, white color. <p></p><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><b>Abbreviations:</b><br />ch - chain</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">ch2sp - chain 2 space</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">ch4sp - chain 4 space</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">ch8sp - chain 4 space<br />sc - single crochet<br />dc - double crochet<br />join - connect into a circle<br />sl st - slip stitch</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">VIDEO FOR RIGHTIES - coming soon</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">VIDEO FOR LEFTIES - coming soon</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKziL--y2iAVB4zEa6WgYuKlxscIwGZEu" target="_blank">PLAYLIST FOR OTHER CROCHET DECORATIONS</a></b><br /><br /><b><a href="https://youtu.be/Cz2KpUC2jdk" target="_blank">CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO "HOW TO STARCH YOUR BELL"</a></b></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /><b>Material:</b><br />Yarn - Aunt Lydia Crochet Cotton Yarn #10<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=answers2beaut-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000WV866W" style="border: medium none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="1" /><br />Hook - Stainless Steel Size 7 (1.65mm)<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=answers2beaut-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B000QHIMDE" style="border: medium none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="1" /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">Scissors</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">Yarn Needle<br /><br /><b>Directions: </b><br /><br /><b>Rnd 1</b> <span> </span><span> </span>magic loop - ch1, then 12 sc - join into first sc<br /><b>Rnd 2</b> <span> </span>ch5 (ch3=1dc, ch2=ch2sp), then in each st: *[1 dc, ch2]* - 11x, join</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><b>Rnd 3</b><span> </span><span> ch1, then in each ch2sp 3 sc (total 12x), join</span> into first sc</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><b>Rnd 4</b><span> </span><span> ch1, then 1 sc in same st, 1 sc in next 2 st, *[ch8, 1 sc in each of next 3 sts, ch4, </span>1 sc in each of next 3 sts]* - 5x, ch8, 1 sc in each of next 3 sts, ch1, join with 1 dc into first sc</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span><b>Rnd 5</b><span> </span><span> *[ch2, then into next ch8sp: (2 dc, ch2, 3 dc, ch4, 3 dc, ch2, 2 dc, ch2); into next ch5sp: (1 sc)]* - repeat 6x, join into first dc</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span><span><br /></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span><span><b><i>Optional:</i></b> make a loop for hanging (or use a wire hook for Christmas decorations for hanging).

About a year ago I pulled my yarn out from my hiding place, I took my granny square pattern number six and started crocheting my newest project. First I wanted to make a poncho. But then I decided that a shawl will be better for me since I could wrap it around or use it as a wide scarf.<p></p><p>I realized I am on the right track to creating something beautiful as soon as I attached few squares together - I attached each square immediately to the one already finished - see my videos for righties and lefties. The way the colors blended and came together I knew I will hold soon (well actually as soon as I finish) an elegant and alluring piece of garment. </p><p>If you would like to work on this project be aware that, unfortunately, they do not make this yarn anymore. That is what happens when we hide your yarns away from our husbands for too long 😉and you forget about them. But, I found a replacement of similar yarns for you - click <a href="https://yarnsub.com/yarns/plymouth_yarn/revel" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">HERE</a>. One of the yarns they suggest is Lana Grossa, which I love a lot. Recently I finished a couple of projects using Lana Grossa yarns and I am using another type of their yarns to knit a blouse for my petite daughter. Don't forget to scroll down to see many other choices. Maybe you will like the idea of using Madelintosh yarns. Or try to find online "one-ply lace yarn" that is baby alpaca/merino blend and that is variegated.</p><p>Anyway... I used my granny square #6 design (a link for the pattern is below) to turn these squares into a wide and long rectangle. I used 84 squares - 6 squares along the width of the shawl and 14 squares along the length. I still may do the 15th row to make my shawl even longer since I have about 1/2 a ball leftover.</p><p>I can also envision a really gorgeous baby blanket using this granny square. Or a throw. Or a scarf. You could make your own version of this design.</p><p>So, if you would like to crochet this shawl (or any suggested projects) check out the links and information below:</p><p><b>Materials:</b></p><p>Yarn - 6+ balls of Plymouth Yarns, Revel (depending on how wide and long your shawl/scarf/blanket you want); color: #16 Moss; weight: lace; 85% baby alpaca, 15% Merino Wool;<br />Hook - 2.75 mm (or use the link above for any similar yarn)<br />Yarn needle<br />Scissors</p><p><b>Size of each square:</b></p><p>Approximately 4"x4"</p><p><b>Links:</b></p><p><b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2019/06/granny-square-no-6-2d-flower-for-foggy.html" target="_blank">GRANNY SQUARE PATTERN NO. 6</a></b></p><p><b><a href="https://youtu.be/xKhe9IDJ-eU" target="_blank">VIDEO HOW TO ATTACH GRANNY SQUARES NO. 6 FOR RIGHTIES</a></b></p><p><b><a href="https://youtu.be/YcuiRXMCV4A" target="_blank">VIDEO HOW TO ATTACH GRANNY SQUARES NO. 6 FOR LEFTIES</a> </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-85NtjXU17X0/X6irmunZHgI/AAAAAAAAMJo/DXNUZ2jKpL0oo5SCvSRPFeCrzX_RM6dwgCLcBGAsYHQ/s600/EarthDayShawl_car_600x500.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-85NtjXU17X0/X6irmunZHgI/AAAAAAAAMJo/DXNUZ2jKpL0oo5SCvSRPFeCrzX_RM6dwgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/EarthDayShawl_car_600x500.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">***</span></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="font-family: times;"><div style="text-align: left;"><i><b>DID YOU FIND ERRORS?

And it has been a year since I published a written pattern for <b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2019/06/granny-square-no-6-2d-flower-for-foggy.html" target="_blank">Granny Square #6</a> </b> 😲!!! I just made a Granny Square #7 video tutorial last year, but never published the written pattern. OK, it is time to fix it. </div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">In this square (actually rather a triangle) I decided to use many tiny triangles within a big triangle. You can flip it (use the "wrong side") for the other side of the sweater, or crochet sloping (diagonal) line on the opposite side (you may have to figure that one on your own). </div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">Also if your arms are heavier than mine (mine are close to the toothpick size, well not really, but they are rather thinner than most of the people) make an insert under the arm. I videotaped how to do that and will publish this soon. </div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">Sorry, my dear crocheters it took so long - I got sidetracked. I do that often. Too many ideas in my head.</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">Soooo, happy crocheting.</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><br /><b>LINKS TO ALL VIDEOS REGARDING THIS PROJECT (INCLUDING THE INTRODUCTION):</b><br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKziL--y2iAXYIflYFXkH2T4oz3juV9wN" target="_blank"><b>PLAYLIST WITH VIDEOS FOR RIGHTIES CLICK HERE</b></a></li><li><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKziL--y2iAWKgl31O-PYTpKQQ46K83Ir" target="_blank">PLAYLIST WITH VIDEOS FOR LEFTIES CLICK HERE</a></b></li></ul><br /><b>BLOG POSTS WITH FREE WRITTEN PATTERNS REGARDING THIS PROJECT:</b><br /><ul><li><b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2018/10/introduction-to-crocheted-sweater-foggy.html" target="_blank">Introduction to this project</a></b></li><li><b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2018/11/granny-square-no-1-for-foggy-dawn.html" target="_blank">Granny Square #1</a></b></li><li><b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2018/11/granny-square-no-2-corner-2-corner-for.html" target="_blank">Granny Square #2</a></b></li><li><b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2018/11/granny-square-no-3-mesh-for-foggy-dawn.html" target="_blank">Granny Square #3</a></b></li><li><b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2018/11/granny-square-no-4-shell-stitch-for.html" target="_blank">Granny Square #4</a></b></li><li><b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2018/12/granny-square-no-5-flower.html" target="_blank">Granny Square #5</a></b></li><li><b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2019/06/granny-square-no-6-2d-flower-for-foggy.html" target="_blank">Granny Square #6</a></b></li><li><b><a href="https://handmade-rukodelky.blogspot.com/2020/11/granny-square-no-7-triangle-part-foggy.html" target="_blank">Granny Square #7</a></b></li><li></li></ul></div>

Well, now is the time to finish some of the projects I started a while ago. I started the "Mandala" project in 2018. Finally, I am getting back to it so I can finish it. <p></p><p>If you ever wanted to crochet a mandala vest (or even mandala rug) below is the first fourteen rows of my pattern plus video tutorial #1 for all wonderful crocheters. This video is for more advanced people, however, my videos are always very detailed, so if you are talented enough you could possibly crochet slowly along. For this lovely project, I used fabulously soft alpaca yarn from the company "MISTI ALPACA". The yarn is soooo soft - it is a pleasure to work with it - I highly recommend it. </p><p>If you want to crochet along with my videos, click on any of the video links (for right-handed or left-handed). <br /><br /></p><p><b><i>Occasionally I get questions like this one :</i></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I also adore variegated yarns - the ones that appeal to my eye and style.</p><p>The other day I was scrolling through some websites with yarns and came across Lana Grossa, Gomitolo Puno. There were several pretty variegated balls on display, but the one in blue/lavender combo looked the most appealing. So I bought four skeins. Then I added to my cart one more neutral ball in muted green/gray color with purple undertones.</p><p>Below is my pattern of a summer blouse, which I knitted for my birthday using the blue/lavender color, which reminds me of the Adriatic Summer Sky. This yarn, which is predominantly cotton, has a nice drape to it, and it's soft and pleasant to wear it. Knitting with this yarn was enjoyable. I used a beautiful stitch pattern from a Japanese "Knitting Patterns Book 250". I could not be more pleased with my finished blouse. I sure gave myself a nice birthday gift. </p><p>You may want to look for my second blouse from the sage/gray color too. I will post the link when I finish writing the pattern and edit videos.</p><p>In the meantime, if you need some help knitting "Adriatic Sky Blouse", please refer to the videos below.</p><ul><li><b><a href="https://youtu.be/HonVwSEUIbY" target="_blank">VIDEO "ADRIATIC SKY STITCH PATTERN IN THE ROUND" FOR RIGHT-HANDED</a></b> </li><li><b><a href="https://youtu.be/i-PyQCTtlW4" target="_blank">VIDEO "<b>ADRIATIC SKY STITCH PATTERN IN THE ROUND</b>" FOR LEFT-HANDED</a> </b></li></ul><div><b>Videos Part 2 - Japanese Stitch Pattern Knitted Flat (back & forth) coming next week </b></div><ul><li><b>VIDEO "ADRIATIC SKY STITCH PATTERN KNITTED FLAT" FOR RIGHT-HANDED</b> </li><li><b>VIDEO "<b>ADRIATIC SKY STITCH PATTERN </b><b>KNITTED FLAT</b>" FOR LEFT-HANDED</b></li></ul><p><br /></p><p><b>Material:</b><br /></p><ul><li>Approximately 200g of Lana Grossa, Gomitolo Puno;

After she grew up Mousie was just laying around and no one played with it anymore. </p><p>Then I remembered that not too long ago I saw an image of socks with a pocket. The pocket was for a tiny toy. I thought that would be a great idea to make these socks, insert Mousie inside the pocket for my (now adult) daughter and send it to her. She is a kid at heart and I thought it would make a great gift for her birthday. </p><p>I thought that a slightly thicker yarn would be the best too - the socks would be for lounging in the bed when it is cold outside and she'd feel just relaxing, and reading books. Make a great gift for the winter holidays. If you are an experienced knitter you could make socks of any size with any yarn and adjust the pocket accordingly.</p><p>I have a big stash of KnitPicks "Bare" yarn, so that's the yarn that I chose to work with on these socks. </p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://youtu.be/31Z0auhfShI" target="_blank"><b>VIDEO "HOW TO MAKE THE POCKET" FOR RIGHT-HANDED</b></a> </li><li><b><a href="https://youtu.be/wi-yJ0ayyHE" target="_blank">VIDEO "HOW TO MAKE THE POCKET" FOR LEFT-HANDED</a></b> </li></ul><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This hat is simple enough for any beginner that mastered cast on, bind off, knit and purl stitches, and can follow a tutorial on how to do decreases (in my video). Below you will find links to the videos (for right-handed and left-handed knitters) and also my written pattern.<div>The written pattern is for 6 months old baby (M size), but if you would like to knit the hat for a small (S size) baby, then cast on 8 stitches less (70 sts) and knit a lower number of rows to accommodate for the height of the smaller head (6 - 10 fewer rows). If you would like to knit the hat for a bigger baby (L size) then you can add 8 stitches (86 sts), and if needed knit more rows in the middle part.

I used Rose Heather, Powder Blue, and Antique White colors. I am kind of sad because I didn't take a good picture of my hats, just a couple of snapshots at night. However, two months ago I decided to make a video, how to knit these hats. I used two balls of yarn (one green and one yellow), which I bought on sale about three years ago. As I am writing this post, I realized that Bernat's Cotton-ish yarn (which I used while recording my video) is discontinued. At home, I have a yarn very similar in weight/cotton/acrylic blend - Premier Yarns, Cotton Fair. If you wish to knit this hat you may have to substitute Bernat's yarn with Premier Yarns. I also found a website that may help you with other substitutions - <b><a href="https://yarnsub.com/yarns/bernat/vickie_howell_cotton_ish" target="_blank">CLICK ON THIS LINK</a></b>.<div>I cast the pink and blue hats on 80 stitches because the yarn is slightly thinner than the yellow/green yarn. I cast my yellow/green hat on 70 sts. The decreases for the top and the number of rows were the same - the only difference was in how many stitches I pulled the yarn through. <br /><div><br /></div><div>You can adjust this hat to any size just by calculating how many "10 stitch repeats" and how many "row repeats" you need. You would not have to change anything regarding decreases except how many times you need to repeat them, because decreases are the same in each repeat. However, in your last row, you would end up with more stitches that you'd have to pull yarn through. In my pink and blue hats, I had to pull yarn through 40 stitches (8 stitch repeats), in my yellow/green hat I pulled the yarn through 35 sts (7 stitch repeats).</div><div><br /><div>This pattern uses slip-stitches. It is a very simple pattern, easy to do even for a novice knitter. You can either follow my Step-by-Step (row-by-row) pattern or you can click on any video (for righties or lefties) below. Or follow both - the written pattern and the video.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Videos:</b></div><div><b><a href="https://youtu.be/0sDHzQMrUkQ" target="_blank">FOR RIGHT HANDED KNITTERS</a></b></div><div><b><a href="https://youtu.be/aEAc6x5gl-M" target="_blank">FOR LEFT HANDED KNITTERS</a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
