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!

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.)

This is a pattern for Plus Size Arm Warmers. There are a lot of arm warmer - wrist warmer patterns out there and most are made for thin long arms. My chubby arms and wrists are large and get larger as they go up toward the elbow. I came up with this pattern for myself but thought others might want to have a simple arm warmer pattern that they can tweak to fit their unique arms. :)

Size H/8 5.000mm Hook
2 skeins Patons SWS (soy wool solids) I used Natural Raisin and Natural Moss
Stitch marker
Tapestry needle

Abbreviations:
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
hdc = half double crochet
dc= double crochet
ch= chain
st = stitch

Size L - XL (customizable to your arms)

Gauge is not known. For thicker yarn weight like one used above, you will need less stitches. (use your arm width and length of armwarmers you wish as a guide)

This was a thicker yarn, if you use a thinner weight yarn you will have to increase the # of stitches for length and width.

Natural Raisin:

Start out with a chain of 26. Then sc in second ch from hook. Single Crochet in each st across. (25stitches)

chain1 turn (each row)

Single crochet in each stitch across for 13 rows

Slip Stitch in the first 8stitches, then single crochet in the remaining 17 stitches. (This is the hole for the thumb) chain 1 and turn

Single crochet in next 17stitches, chain 7, then sc in last stitch. Chain 1 turn

Sc in each stitch across. (25stitches) ch 1, turn
Repeat this 13 more rows.

You'll have a total of 26 rows.

Finish off

Fold the 'square' in half matching up the 'thumb holes'.

You will now need to thread your tapestry with the yarn you will be using to sew up the armwarmers. (I used natural raisin)

This is a quick, easy project for using up leftover yarn. It was inspired by a newspaper article where the woman being interviewed was wearing a chunky silver necklace. This yarn version is much more comfortable to wear, and it can be made in any colour to match your outfit.

Small amount of worsted-weight yarn
½” shank button
3.5 mm (E) hook
Scissors
Yarn needle

Chain: 40.5 cm (16")
Pendant: 9.5 cm (3.75")

Exact gauge is not essential for this project.

Abbreviations used:

ch: chain
sl st: slip stitch
sc: single crochet

Special techniques: magic ring

Necklace:

Buttonhole:
Ring: Ch 6. Join with sl st in first ch.
Rnd 1: Ch 1. 8 sc in ring. Join with sl st to first sc.

Note: make sure that button fits through buttonhole easily but snugly. If you use a larger button, you will need to chain more for the ring and then make enough sc to fill in the ring.

Chain: Ch 75. Fasten off, leaving long tail for attaching button.

Note: You can chain fewer stitches for a choker or more stitches for a longer necklace- make sure you try it around your neck before fastening off in case the length needs adjustment.

Button: Thread yarn tail through button shank a couple times, knot, weave in end for a few stitches and cut off excess.

Weave in other end (buttonhole end).

Circle:

I originally made this for my daughter, but had many people ask me about it and the pattern, so I wrote it down and first put it up on Ravely and desided it was time to shre it here :)

Tahki Cotton Classic in 2 colours (Colours A & B)
Sm- 2.50mm or as needed for gauge
Med- 3.25mm or as needed for gauge
Lg- 3.75mm hook or as needed for gauge

I don't have actual measurements, but the Small should fit a child and the medium should fit a small adult and the large shout fit an average size adult.

The medium size is shown in the photo.

Sm = 7dc per inch
Med = 6dc per inch
Lg = 5 dc per inch

If a larger size is still needed just adjust hook size up.

abbreviations:
ch = chain
slp st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
st(s) = stitch(s)
sk = skip

Instructions:

(NOTE: the beginning ch 3 of every round always counts as the first stitch,
Rnds 1-9, Do not turn at the end of the rnds)

Top of cap:
With A, Ch 4, join in 4th ch from the hook to form chain loop

Rnd 1- (right side) ch 3, dc 12 times into the chain loop, join with slp st into the 3rd ch of 1st st. (13 stitches),

Rnd 2- Change to B , ch 3, dc into same st, [2 dc into next st] around, join with slp st into the 3rd ch of 1st st. (26 stitches)

Made with 100% cotton yarn in four muted colors, the Midsummer Twilight Hat is perfect for cooler summer evenings or crisp autumn afternoons.

Hook: Size H/8, 5.00mm
Yarn: Small amounts of Sugar 'n' Cream worsted weight cotton in blue, brown, and purple, and Bernat cotton in green.

Approximately 8" from center of crown to edge of scallop.
Approximately 22" brim circumference .

Five rounds of dc = approximately 2", 5cm.

Stitches: chain (ch), slip stitch (slst), no-turn-chain double crochet (ntcdc), double crochet (dc), treble crochet (tc)

For an explaination of the ntcdc, visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LxYpo-tyi8

The NTCDC counts as the first stitch of each row. If that stitch isn't working out for you, replace with "ch 3" throughout the pattern.

I carried the thread on the inside of the hat for the first eight rows to make color changing easier. Once the shell pattern begins, it's easier to tie off each time a new color begins a round. The pattern is written to tie in the new color along the same vertical seam.

Round 1: [Blue] Ch 1. Ntcdc in ch. 9 dc in chain, slst to top of ntcdc. [10 sts]

Round 2: [Blue] Ntcdc. Dc in same st as Ntcdc. 2 dc in each st around. [20 sts]

Round 3: [Brown] Ntcdc. 2 dc in next st. *Dc in next st, 2 dc in next st.* Repeat from * to * 8 more times. Slst to top of ntcdc. [30 sts]

Round 4: [Blue] Ntcdc. Dc in next st, 2 dc in next st. *Dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st. Repeat from * to * 8 more times. Slst to top of ntcdc. [40 sts]

Round 5: [Purple] Ntcdc. Dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st. *Dc in next 3 sts, 2 dc in next st.* Repeat from * to * 8 more times. Slst to top of ntcdc. [50 sts]

Who doesn't love headbands!? Here is a quick and easy pattern that you can easily customize. Shown is a headband with 2 different sized circles on one side... but the possibilities are endless. Make as many or as few circles as you would like. Make them in the same color or separate.

This will take up so little yarn, you could probably make 20 with one skein.

Any worsted yarn will do and whatever hook size you would like. I used H, but gauge is not important at all in this project.

You will need:

1. tape measure
2. stitch marker
3. small amount of 3 colors of yarn

yarn needle

roughly 35inches long.

gauge is not important

spike sc: a single crochet worked in an indicated stitch lower than the previous round of stitches. just draw your yarn up a little higher when working the spike sc.

row 1: with main color, make a chain approximately 17in long. place stitch marker at end of chain
row 2: continue making a chain, join with sl st in first ch
row 3: continue making a chain, join with sl st in the ch with a stitch marker. continue making a chain for desired length of tie band [I recommend roughly 10inches], fasten off.

join same yarn in other end of 3 chains and make other tie band

for circles:
smaller circle:
rnd 1: with color b, ch17, join with sl st to form a ring.
rnd 2: ch1, 22sc in ring, join with sl st to first sc. fasten off.
note: if it is not full enough for your preference, add a few more sc in ring.

bigger circle:
rnd 1: with color c, ch23, join with sl st to form ring.

Great for showing off any homespun yarn with great texture and colors. A quick project that can be completed in one to two hours. This scarf is easy to adjust to your tastes, if you like long scarves chain more at the beginning. You can probably get 2 skinny scarves out of one skein, so make one for you and one for a friend.

1 skein of Lion Brand Homespun yarn - Bulky weight 6 oz 185 yds
N (13mm) Hook

as long as you want!

Bulky yarn with N (13mm) hook

Super
Simple
Skinny

Homespun is soft but kinda hard to work with all the nubs and bumps and all so not for a beginner.

Body of scarf

Row 1 Sc in 2nd chain from the hook. Sc across. (100 sts)

Row 2 Ch 3 counts as 1st dc. Dc across

Row 3 Ch 2 counts as 1st hdc. Hdc across

Row 4 Ch 3 counts as 1st dc. Dc across

Row 5 ch 1 sc across

Weave in all ends and enjoy!

Hello crocheters! This is my first pattern, adapted from another hat pattern that just wouldn't work with my yarn. It was made for a friend for the P-rade going on today. It's a parade for the alumni of Princeton University. His dad is from 1982, so he marches. I thought we could both share our spirit with matching hats. I made mine from another pattern. Feel free to adapt to any school or sports team.

* 1 ball burnt orange worsted weight (MC)
* 1 ball black worsted weight (CC)
* Size F hook
* yarn needle
OPTIONAL
* pompom maker

Fits an average size head. (sorry, don't know how to adapt to other head sizes! Try adding more rows) Hat will fit loosely on head - like a bucket hat.

Forgot to take gauge beforehand...judge by the dimensions of the "P"

If not using the "P" made here, try to make your own letter. I figured this one out by drawing it...mess around, tell me how it works out.

Also:

blo - crocheted in the back loop only

Hat

In MC
Round 1: Work 10 sc into magic loop, pull tail to tighten. (10 sts)
Round 2: Work 2 sc in each st around. (20 sts)
Rounds 3-4: Sc in each st around.
Round 5: Work 2 sc in each st around. (40 sts)
Rounds 6-10: Sc in each st around.
Round 11: Work 2 sc in each st around. (80 sts)
Rounds 12-17: Work 1 rnd even
Round 18: *Work 2 sc in next st, sc in each of the next 3 sts, rep from * around. (100 sts)
Rounds 19 - 29: Sc in each st around.
Switch to CC
Rounds 30 - 35: *sc in blo, sc from * around
Round 36: Sc around
Slip stitch in first stitch. Fasten off.

The "P"

In CC, Chain 10

Row 1: Sc across, turn
Row 2: Sc across, turn
Row 3: 7 sc, turn
Row 4: 4 sc, turn

Continue row 4 until the shaft is 4.5 inches from the foundation chain. Fasten off.

In CC, Chain 10

Row 1: Sc across, turn
Row 2: Sc across with inc (2 sc in same st) in the last st, turn
Row 3: Inc, sc across, turn
Row 4: Sc across with inc in last st, turn
Row 5: 4 Sc, turn
Row 6: 4 Sc, turn
Row 7: 4 Sc, turn
Row 8: 4 Sc, turn
Row 9: 4 sc, chain 6, turn
Row 10: sc across, turn
Row 11: sc2tog, sc across, turn
Row 12: 6 sc, sc2tog, turn
Row 13: sc2tog, sc across.

Fasten off. With a yarn needle and CC yarn, sew the shaft to the round part. Sew to hat. Weave in ends.

Pompom

If you want to make a pompom (mine doesn't have one, but it would look good with one), use a pompom maker or your fingers to make a pompom while holding the MC and the CC together.

To make a pompom with your fingers, hold three fingers out and wind the yarn about 100 times around. Tie one piece of yarn around the middle. Secure well. Cut the loops and fluff. Trim ends to make them even.

Let me know if there are any mistakes. I'd love feedback!
