Autumn Reminiscence
I know, it could sounds weird, but I do like socks ( made by me, lol), and hairpin lace. So here I joined the two things together. Now is hot here (Chile), and I had the perfect fall colors yarn.
It is not my first pair, so I know it works, but as always, everybody loves my socks....
Enjoy!

-2 ply yarn (mine is 100% wool) 3 oz,
-3mm (near #3 steel American) hook
-3/4" hairpin (homemade, just with wire, and a little help of my friends)

Small and average woman
The size I use is for small and average woman, but you can adjust it as you go.

70 loops each side 14" long, 1/2" wide.

Hairpin lace tutorials are found in different links.

For an average (small) woman,
10 stripes of 80 (70)loops eacch side,
10 stripes of 35 (25) loops (for sole),
10 stripes 45 loops for the leg.
Do use a marker (I use a safety pin), where you end every row, so they go the same way when you join them.
Zig-zag strip joining
There will be 3 holes, one for the leg, the other for the toes and the middle for the heel.
Work all loose ends.
Join one (main) yarn with the hook, and work evenly sc.
Toes and heel, place markers at both sides.
2-10 th row sc diminish at both sides where the markers are.
Measure your feet, as they must feel cozy, so you can add-substract some rows. Sew the ends.
Leg, Do a sc round, and then a shell (1 sc 1 hdc 1 dc 1 hdc 1 sc)the next, skip 2 sc and do another shell.
Use a baby cord, or twisted yarn cord for ornament, as they will fit very comfortable.
I made an accent with some irish crochet leaves.

Three different containers can all be made with one ball of Jo Sharp Desert Garden Aran Cotton.  Embellish the pieces with large sequin-like paillettes (found in any craft store).

Use them as "jewelry cozies" or desktop pieces to store little goodies while you're at your computer.

• Jo Sharp Desert Garden Aran Cotton (or 60yds of aran cotton yarn)
• Size F (3.75mm) crochet hook
• Large paillettes

You will be using a hook smaller than what the yarn calls for to get a tight crochet. You can use just about any yarn to make these boxes. Start with the box pattern, choose a hook two sizes smaller than what the yarn calls for, the crochet piece should be tight with a little bit of curl. Use the same hook for all three projects.

This was a one-day project for designer Kika. (Hint. It can be a one-day project for you, too.) She couldn't find a pattern for a triangle shawl that she liked, so she took matters into her own hands. Don't you want to take this matter into your own hands, too? Hook on.

• Two balls of Luxury Mohair by King Cole (202m/220yds, total), colour Valencia.
• A big fat plastic hook, size Q (16mm).

Designer Tiffany whipped up this scarf for her daughter Laura (see her over there, modeling?). Isn't she adorable? Aren't you inspired to make one up for someone pink you love? Or for someone you love who loves pink?

• One 5 oz. skein Bernat Softee Baby in “Baby Pink Marl” (color 30301), or color of your choice (A)
• One 1 oz. skein Bernat Eyelash in “Kiss”, or color of your choice (B)
• “J” (6.0 mm) crochet hook
• “P” ( 9.0 mm) crochet hook
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.

One size.

Gauge is unimportant for this pattern.

With “J” (6.0mm) hook and one strand each of colors (A) and (B) held together, ch 17.

I designed this poncho for those of us who are a bit larger than the models in fashion magazines. If you are a bit 'paunchy' like me, this will be just the right size. If you're not, you can still enjoy the pattern using a smaller hook or by following the diagram at the end of the instructions for a better fit. If you have very narrow shoulders I also suggest following the instructions in the diagram.

• 250grams (250meters) / 9ounces (2 1/3yards) of a chunky yarn (I used Papillon by SvartaFåret in festive red)
• Q hook
• Yarn needle

This cheery, cuddly pillow is sure to brighten even the dullest day. It's a fabulous project for beginners, so come on all you newbies out there, show us what you got.

• Sport Weight Baby Yarn, 2 colors A & B (pick your favorites!)
• Size I hook
• Polyester Fiberfill for pillow stuffing
• Small piece of yarn, stitch marker, or safety pin to mark rounds

I used 2 colors for the front of the flower and one single color for the back.

The decorative domestic arts: the desire to cover everything in the house. Cozies for the toaster, tea pot, coffee pot, vacuum cleaner; doilies on all flat surfaces, antimacassars on the backs of chairs and couches (even though grandpa stopped using pomade 30 years ago when there was no hair left to oil up).

A standby in houses where I grew up was the toilet paper roll cozy, often made to look like a doll wearing a ruffled dress and matching hat. I wanted to do a next-generation version, and although I know I could make something fabulous involving a thrift store Barbie, eyelash yarn and sequins, I did a sushi roll instead, using leftover yarns in my stash box. The top is crocheted and then embroidered, the sides knitted. If you prefer to do the entire cozy in crochet, instructions are included.

• Worsted weight yarn in white and black (approx. 3 oz of each), scrap yarns in different colors
• unused roll of toilet paper (for use as a fitting model)
• size G (4.25 mm) hook
• size 4 (3.5mm) double-pointed knitting needles (set of 5, 7"/18cm long)
• tapestry needle

What's up with so many sock patterns calling for too-thick worsted weight yarn? Designer Pam says:

"I've seen a lot of crocheters looking for a pattern for crochet socks using sock yarn, so they can wear them in their shoes like the knitters do. That's what pushed me to make this pattern. I wanted to crochet my socks out of sock yarn, and wear them in my shoes." Right on, Pam.

• About two 1.75 ounce (50 gram) skeins of sock yarn (or fingering weight yarn)
• Size G (4.25mm) crochet hook (or size to obtain gauge)

5 sts x 5 rows = 1 inch (2.54cm) in single crochet. (Please be sure to check your gauge. I tend to need a larger hook than most patterns call for, so my patterns tend to call for a larger hook than you might need.)

I made this throw for my husband.  It's made in a very easy shell pattern with a border that has one round of single crochet and one round of reverse single crochet.  I used Red Heart worsted weight yarn in the color of Aran Fleck to add more texture.

• Size I (5.50mm) hook or whatever hook size gives you gauge
• 39 oz worsted weight yarn
• Tapestry needle

50" by 50"

7 shells = 4 inches/10cm
