Crochet wrist warmers

01/11/2014 by Dada Filed Under: Other crochet projects 31 Comments

I intended to make wrist warmers for a while, since I saw these beauties, and when the cold weather arrived, I took my crochet hook, some beautiful yarn, and made these warmers, in a day, last Sunday.

For these warmers I used 100% cotton yarn “Cotton cable” 95m/50g from St. George (manufacturer from Serbia who unfortunately doesn’t sell online) in worm, autumn colors. I really love how they turned out.

The pattern is wonderful. It’s very simple, which I particularly like.

Now I’m thinking of making a matching scarf using the same colors. Maybe something with flowers.

Christmas is coming. Have you thought about making some presents, yet?

I think wrist warmers are great Christmas gift to someone special.

Autumn glory crochet scarf pattern

I finally managed to finish this Autumn glory crochet scarf pattern!

I really don’t know why it took me so long to finish it. Actually, I finished the scarf a long time ago, but writing a pattern was much more complicated and demanding part. It also wasn’t help that I had eyes inflammation, which was so hard for me. I couldn’t crochet, use a computer, read or watch TV for several days. And even when I was better, I had to be very careful to not bother my eyes to much. It was hard.

I like how this pattern turned out. I like it because it’s simple, but decorative, and join as you go method is very convenient, because you don’t have to join your motifs in the end. When you finish your last motif, you’re actually done! I like that.

I wanted the pattern to be easy to follow even to beginners, so I include step by step tutorial on how to make and join squares, with more than 40 photographs, and 3 crochet charts (which I think were responsible for my eyes inflammation) My favorite part of this pattern is the colorful crochet chart for the square. I really like how it looks!

Also, it is easy to achieve a nice color combination with this pattern. And the possibilities are endless… I think that this pattern is very suitable for a baby blanket. I can imagine soft and cozy baby blanket in pastel colors like those above.

You can also buy it in my Ravelry shop and in my Etsy shop. (payment option: PayPal)

Crochet scarf for my sister

20/10/2014 by Dada Filed Under: Scarves and shawls 25 Comments

I wanted to make a scarf for my sister, for a while, so, when I finished my last project, I started to search the Internet (especially Pinterest) for some ideas and inspiration, and found this and this pattern, which I instantly liked.

I peered into my yarn stash, and found a beautiful brownish multicolor yarn, just what I was looking for! I made a square, and it was beautiful! I loved it! I was so happy that I found the winning combination! The following day, I went into my favorite (St. George) yarn shop, but, unfortunately, they didn’t have anymore the yarn I was looking for.

I was very, very disappointed. But, as you probably know from your own experience, you just can’t to feel bed in a yarn shop. I looked around in search for appropriate yarn for the scarf. I didn’t have to search for long. I found these beautiful autumn colors. 100% cotton. I liked them so much! As soon as I came home with a several skeins of my new favorite yarn (“Cotton Cable” 95m/50g from St. George), I started the scarf. I made one square, and really liked how it turned out. It looked even better then the square I’d previously made using the multicolor yarn. I made some changes in the last row of the pattern, because I wanted to use Join-As-You-Go method.

When I joined several squares together, they looked nice, the colors were fine, but something was missing. The squares didn’t look interesting enough, and they were somehow unconnected. So, I came up with the idea to add the petals into the fourth row of the square. That was it! The squares looked much more interesting and connected. I loved how they looked! Much better. I was happy! I’ve found the solution.
And do you know what is the best part in this story? My sister loves the scarf! And I love when the story has a happy end!
The end.
