I made this simple little shawl after looking at the Dragonfly Shawl and being too lazy to do that one!

G hook

fingering weight or sock yarn - at least one skein, but if you want to make it bigger, you will need more yarn

yarn needle

pins and a surface for blocking - I used large push pins and did it on my wooden deck

it's up to you!

not important

This pattern is written by a lazy person, so your going to have to use your noggin to work it out. It is more of a sketch than an all out pattern. Good luck! I know you can do it! (I am also a very friendly person who is more than willing to answer questions and help you along.)

Logwood Shawlette

abbreviations :

ch = chain

ch 2 sp = chain 2 space

slst = slip stitch

dc = double crochet

special stitches :

Shell = 2dc, ch3, 2dc

v = 1dc, ch1, 1dc

V = 1dc, ch3, 1dc

To begin :

ch 6, join in a circle with a slst,

ch 5, (dc in ring, ch 2) x 5

For the rest of the shawl :

start each row with the following : ch 5, 3dc in ch 2 sp, ch 3

end each row with the following : ch 3, 3dc in ch 2 sp, ch 2, dc in same ch 2 sp

the very middle of each row will always be a Shell

I hate waste. I have great difficulty in throwing away those bits of scrap yarn .I'm utterly convinced it will come in handy, one day. I have a scrap box for all those odds and ends of yarn I can't part with.It is overflowing.

I love lipstick,lip gloss,I never leave home without it. I have come up with this pattern, a lipstick cozy.You can combine scraps of leftover sock yarns( fingering weight)It uses very little yarn 5 to 10grams. It is a very easy pattern ,even beginners will find it a breeze.

5-1o grams
2mm hook
tapestry needle

Not nessary

You can use any type of yarn and any crochet hook. It can solve those moments when you just have to crochet but you don't have alot of time .Make a few ,use them as little handmade gifts for teachers ,friends , a stocking filler, perfect for any age.The stitches are UK terms.

I do not know what is the other pic, please be nice at this dumb me

300 gr (10 oz) sport weight yarn
G6 (4.25mm) hook
Straight needle US 35 (20 mm)

452 (115 cm) x 17" (43 cm)

3 rows 3", 2 broomstick stitches 3"

There is a tutorial at
http://honeyvarita.blogspot.com/

-ch 210
-make 210 loops on the straight needle
-work twisting 5 loops with 5 sc on top
-every third row, work 2 sc rows
-repeat this 5 times
-work 1 row all the way round with sc.
-then 2 rows of sc on 3 sides, not on top
work on those 2 rows, a row 3 ch ss in the same stitch,
-ss,ss ch3 ss on the same stitch, ss, ss ch3 ss on the same stitch
repeat all the 3 sides
make a 350 ch cord, pass through the top stitches evenly, you can shrink with the ch, to form a capelet or use as a shawl

This is a shawl or a capelet in Broomstick Lace Crochet. I do not know why crocheters are kind of afraid of this stitch. It is so fun to do and unlike other stitches you can fix the mistakes you make
http://honeyvarita.blogspot.com/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/honeyvarita/
There are a tutorial of the stitch, and how to fix mistakes, when your loops are 210. What really matters is to keep neat the vertical rows. It took me only 3 days to do it, even I am not an experienced crocheter or work fast.
But I love to search many things at the net, so my back gets cold, and even I have shawls, I wanted to practice this stitch, and turn out a beautiful one or a cozy capelet, as Susan is modeling.

300 gr (10 oz) sport weight yarn 100% acrylic I use just purple, but you can change every row if you like to
1 G/6 (4.25mm) aluminium hook
1 US 35 (20mm) straight needle
And fingers to help twisting the loops (from the non-working hand)

About 116 cm (46") x 43 cm (17") rectangle with the border.

4 broomstick stitches are 4" (10 cm)
3 broomstick rows are 2.52 (6.5 cm)

Work slow and having fun, read the tutorials if something is not working fine

Ch 210. pull up 210 loops into the needle, being careful not to overlap.
The first row, work taking out of the needle 5 loops, twist with the hook or with your fingers,secure with 1 ch work 5 sc on top, take another 5 loops, 5 sc on top til the end.
Pull up with the hook BLO (back loop of the sc below only), to the needle, careful not to twist the loop. I use the needle between my knees, others prefer under the arm, work comfortable.
Until you have 210 loops on the needle, if there are 208 or 214 do not panic, it can be fixed, go to the tutorial.
Then take away the needle, take the first 5 loops, twist and close with a ch, do 5 sc on loop, being careful not to twist, take another 5, twist, 5 sc on top repeat until all the loops are worked. Be careful to follow the vertical rows aligned, so it will look neat, no matter if you have only 4 or 6 loops to keep that.
Work 5 sc on top, until all the loops are worked.
Crochet 3 rows of broomstick lace, then 2 rows of sc (always work the loops against the tail of the base chain), repeat 5 times.
Work 1 complete row of all the rectangle with sc.
Then 2 more rows of sc both sides and the bottom (not on the top of rectangle).
The next row ch3, ss in the same sc, ss twice, then 3 ch in the second ss, all the 3 sides. i.e. (ch3, ss, ch3,ss,...as the last row)
Ch 320, and go through the stitches on top of the rectangle, this will be the cord that shapes the shawl into a capelet.

The beauty of this pattern is that is made for showcasing those beautiful multicoloured yarns we all love .Quite possibly the easiest pattern you'll ever do. Great fun.

You decide what yarn you will use and the size of the hook
.This is what I used;
3 x 50g skeins of jawoll colour
3.5mm crochet hook

This all depends on the yarn you decide to use

It took me 3 nights of Tunisian crochet but it was worth it.

This lovely crochet wrap came about because I wanted to make my mom something special for Mother's Day. I had the yarn and the will so I took up my hook and began working. As I was working I decided I didn't want to make a regular scarf, so I made it a bit wider. The length just came about because I wanted my mom to be able to wrap herself with this piece when walking or sitting in church.

This piece is warm, soft and one of the best things to have along as a stand-alone or wraped around your head and shoulders over a coat.

This little wrap was designed specifically for the elderly - particularly those confined to wheelchairs or to bed. The short length prevents it from getting caught in wheels.
