How to crochet a flower: Re-do

Hey guys! So I decided to redo one of my old patterns and make a video and stuff for it, so here it is, my old Flower pattern, but now with a new video, and a few tweaks to the pattern too. Hope you guys like it!


Materials:
Lion Brand Cotton/Lily Sugar’n Cream
/Lion Brand Cotton-Ease
(basically any 100% cotton works)
–Crochet Hook-Size G6 4.00mm
–Needle to sew in ends with

Abbreviations:

-SL.ST = Slip Stitch
-SC = Single Crochet
-HDC = Half Double Crochet
-DC = Double Crochet
-Ch = Chain

-Rnd = Round

Ch 9, pull loop through first ch made.
Rnd 1: sc 18 around the loop of ch’s *not in ch’s*, sl.st in first sc made, don’t turn (18) [image 1]
Rnd 2: ch 10, skip 2 sts, sl.st in 3rd, repeat this 6 times. [image 2]
Rnd 3: Around each of the ch loops made in Rnd 2: sc 2, hdc 2, dc 4, hdc 2, sc 2, then sl.st where you made the sl.sts in Rnd 2 (12 in each loop, 72 total) [images 3 and 4]

To finish, cut and pull through the remaining yarn and sew it into the body of the flower to hide it. Done! Now just get a 7/8” (20mm) button and you can put it anywhere!

How to crochet: “Splitting”


Hey guys, so I’ve been using this technique for a while while crocheting that I call “splitting” where I split a row in half. Not sure what it’s really called, but figured that was a pretty decent name for it.

I use it in my amigurumi to make things like hoodies and hat brims, and used it a lot when I made Maleficent here. Anyhow, just thought I’d share it and show you guys how I do that and some things I make with it in a video. I’ll probably be coming out with a whole bunch of amigurumi tutorials pretty soon and going to definitely be posting some longer detailed stuff on my Patreon page here in the not so distant future.

Enjoy!

How to Crochet: a Dragon Applique

I’m a bit behind on posts, so I’m gonna squish two posts into one with this! My roommate and I loooove Game of Thrones. We watch it every Sunday and are in deep love with the characters. So to commemorate the beginning of season 4 which started a few weeks back, I made Daenerys and Jon Snow from the show!!

I even decided to make a Watch me Crochet episode for Daenerys on my YouTube which you can watch right here:

 

They came out soo awesome, and I decided to come out with a free pattern to show how to crochet a tiny dragon too! So here it is. Warning though, it is more of a free form pattern than a written one, so the episodes more of a Crochet along pattern. You’ll get it..

Well I hope you guys liked all of that jazz. I know it’s a lot to take in. If you want to get updated on new stuff quicker make sure to check out my YouTube for videos, and Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter where I post every time there’s something new!
And check back soon in the Etsy shop for the Daenerys and Jon Snow patterns!!
