I like these bangles, they're comfy and they don't make a loud racket when you move your arms!
Make them in a rainbow of colours to suit your outfit or simply give them as gifts.
This pattern first appeared on my blog http://hookylove.blogspot.com/

I used Rowan Cotton Rope (Aran weight) but any aran weight would do, and a 4.5mm hook.

variable, that's the best thing!

Gauge is not important, just make sure the starting chain can fit around your wrist!
I used a smaller hook than stated on the yarn, just to make the gauge is tight so the bangle has more structure.

I write in UK terms!

Abbreviations:

ch: chain
dc: double crochet
sl st: slip stitch
blo: back loop only
ws: wrong side
sts: stitches

Ch 35, sl st into 1st chain to join (careful not to twist the chain!)

Row 1: Ch 1,dc in one leg of each foundation ch around. Sl st into 1st dc to join

Row 2: Work all sts in blo. Ch 1, dc in each dc around. Sl st to 1st dc to join

Rows 3 & 4: Repeat row 2

To finish, fold in half with ws facing to form bangle shape. Sl st around, joining blo of Row 4 to one leg of foundation ch. end off.

For the black and red bangle I alternated the colours each row, for the red and yellow I changed colour for rows 2&3 then back to the original colour for row 4

Happy bangling!

I have created a pattern for an ear warmer. I needed something to keep my ears warm while I did not have ear muffs. It really does keep my ears warm too. I hope you try it out and like it as much as I do.

Any yarn will do.

1 Skien of your choice in color.

Any size hook I used a G, just as long as it fits you when your finished.

Yarn needle.

Scissors.

Depends on the hook, your head size, and the way you crochet as we all crochet differently.

Not important in this pattern, just as long as it fits you in the end

ch, sc, dc, sl st, sts.

Ch. 10 ( or chain as many that will cover your ears ).

Rnd 1: Sc in all sts of the ch you have made. ( 10 sts or however many sts you have created )ch 1, turn.

Rnd 2: Sc in all sts. At the end ch 3, turn. ( 10 sts or however many sts you have created).

Rnd 3: Dc in all sts. At the end ch 1, turn. ( 10 sts or however many sts you have created).

Keep doing this pattern til you are completely done and you know it will fit your head. When you are done with the pattern, use a sl st to seam one end to the other, cut a tail long enough to weave ends in and then use a yarn needle to weave in ends and you are done. Pattern should go as follows: 2 rows sc, 1 row of dc until you are done. Hope you enjoy! I know I do.

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 :)

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]

I wish I could go to the northern hemisphere!, Hate winter time, cold and dark, we do not have snow, but days are almost always clouded, and rainy. I began to work with nice summer colors, and I thought I could crochet a sun…..

Crochet: N° 00 steel hook, or E (3,5 mm) hook
Scrap thread (cotton) white, yellow and orange

8" (20 cm) diameter

Gauge not important, just use always the same hook size.
Mine was 3 rows 1" (2.5 cm), 5 sc 1" (2.5 cm)

For a dishcloth use 1 strand worsted cotton, do not block. (that was mine)

For a pot holder , you can use 2 strands together for a thighter stitches, do starch ( I use 1 part water, 2 parts sugar, heat until the sugar is dissolved, no more, or it will turn brown!), and block it. Believe me, it will be very stiff.

Row 1: with white Ch 3 join
Row 2 ; 5 sc in ring
Row 3: ch1 sc in same ch1, 2 sc in the next 4 sc ( 10 sc)
Row 4: ch1 sc in same ch1, 2 sc in the next 9 sc (20 sc)
Row 5: With yellow, ch 10 and join to ring with sl st
Row 6 : work 8 sc, 2 sc in the last 2 ch ( 12 sc) turn ch 1 to turn
Row 7 : work 2 sc in the first 4 sc BLO from now on, , work 4 in the next sc, work 3 sc in the next sc, work 5 sc in the next 5 sc do not join to ring
Row 8: join orange to last yellow sc, repeat row 6 and row 7, work sl st in the next white sc to join.
Row 9: join yellow to last orange sc, work 8 sc, 2 sc in the last 2 sc ch 1, turn
Row 10: work 2 sc in the first sc, work 4 sc, next st work 3 sc, work 5 sc and join to white with sl st.
Repeat row 5-10 until all the white sc are worked.

I created a coaster pattern because I didn't see one that I liked it has a ridged texture you can use it to keep drinks from making a stain on your table

Worsted Weight Cotton
an h hook
and a yarn needle

4"x4"

16 sc and 7 rows= 4"

I used single crochet

Ch 16

Row 1: sc in 2nd chain from hook across
Row 2 : ch 1 sc in blo until the end then sc in both loops

do not fasten off 3 sc in corner st, sc across row, 3 sc in corner st, sc evenly upside 3 sc in corner st, sc across, 3 sc in corner st, sc across row then fasten off and weave in ends

The great texture in this dishcloth is achieved by alternating single crochet and treble crochet stitches. It could also be used as a pot holder!

• I used a 4mm/size G6 hook.
• 1 ball (1½ oz) worsted weight cotton. I used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Ultrasoft, Violet Veil Ombre.

Mine are about 7 1/2" square...will vary depending on your gauge.
