Seren Hexagon Blanket- Crochet Pattern

A hexagon blanket is a great way to show off an ombre effect yarn. Worked in the round using just 2 stitches throughout, this pattern works up fast and creates a lovely small blanket using just 2x 150g balls of yarn. I used the King Cole Curiosity DK in Mother of Pearl but you could substitute for any dk yarn you like. Using a gradient yarn means so need to change colour so it works up super fast! Finish with optional tassels or pom poms to each of the 6 points to finish.

Pattern written in UK terms. Tension not critical but may effect overall size and yarn quantity needed. I worked to 18 tr over 10 rows for 10 cms. Finished blanket measures approx. 38 inches across at the widest point.

Plant pot covers-free crochet pattern

This quick little make is a great use for any leftover bits of t shirt or chunky yarn. I used the Hoooked ribbon and zpagetti yarns to make these cute little gifts for my little boy's pre-school teachers. The pattern would suit any yarn that has a small amount of stretch in it and it's really simple to adapt. I've made these using paintbox yarns chunky acrylic too and it works perfectly! You will need: Just a small amount of yarn and a hook size to match (with the t shirt or ribbon yarn I use 9mm or chunky acrylic with a 6mm) a small plant pot. Mine measure approx. 2 inch diameter at the base, 2.5 inch diameter at the top and height = 2.5 inches scissors and darning needle to weave in ends Follow the basic pattern below increasing the number rows to adjust height or diameter abbreviations: mc = magic circle st= stitch hdc= us half double/uk half treble ss= slip stitch ch = chain note-ch 1 does not count as a stitch with t shirt yarn and a 9mm hook: 1. ...

Crochet Medal-free pattern

This was a fun little make I came up with after running my first 10k race. Race is probably not the right word though! I'm no athlete but I finished and its the taking part that counts right? I've been running for a few months now and every time I'd come home from my Saturday morning park run, my son would excitedly ask where my medal was. I decided when I did eventually get my first event medal it would be fun to make him one of his very own...so crochet to the rescue yet again! The children have had lots of fun with these over the school holidays and they're so quick to make you will need: 3x50g paintbox yarns cotton dk in pink, white and blue 1x metallic dk in martini (you can substitute this for any cotton or acrylic dk yarn) 3.5mm hook stitch marker small amount of toy stuffing Medal is made using the amigurumi technique and worked in a spiral. Do not join after each row, use stitch marker at beginning of each row to help keep count Abbreviations: ...

King Cole Finesse Cotton Silk DK- Yarn Review

I recently had the pleasure of trying out some of the gorgeous Finesse Cotton Silk DK range from King Cole. This lightweight cotton blend yarn is great for Spring/Summer garments (I'm thinking ahead as the weather is still quite Wintery here!) and was the perfect choice for the top I wanted to crochet. I've been reviewing the new book by Cassie Ward and thought the Finesse yarn would be great for her Josie top design. I'll be posting my book review on the blog very soon and sharing more photos of the finished top on Instagram as part of the My Crochet Wardrobe book tour. Yarn Info: 77% Cotton, 23% silk 50g, 120 metres, 131 yards approx. 4mm hook/needles I really like the shade range. The pastel shades have a pretty vintage feel and compliment each other really nicely. I chose the colour Wisteria (2822) which is a pretty blush pink shade. The Finesse yarn has a really premium feel to it. It's soft, smooth and lovely to croche...
