Plaid Crochet Hat in DK – free pattern!

January 2, 2017 By Vicky Leave a Comment

Plaid crochet hat

Plaid crochet hat

To be fair this isn’t a proper pattern, it’s an adaptation of this pattern by Whistle and Ivy. I’ll keep it short and simple. If you need any advice please contact me.

 

Materials

  • 3.25 mm knitting needles
  • 4mm knitting needles (optional)
  • 4mm crochet hook
  • Scissors
  • Yarn in 3 colours, I used black, claret and lipstick in Stylecraft DK
  • Yarn needle to weave in ends

This Pattern is in US stitches

Method
1. Using 3.25mm needles, cast on 120 stitches, knit in 2 x 2 rib for 10 rows.

2. Cast off using your crochet hook or 4mm knitting needles.

3. Slip stitch the last stitch to the first, chain up and start the plaid stitch the first row might be a bit fiddley to get your hook in.

Find the video tutorial for plaid stitch here

4. Crochet plaid stitch for 22 rows, you can add or take away for more or less slouch.

5. Row 23 – (2dctog, 1dc) around.

6. Row 24 – 2dctog around.

7. Fasten off and weave in all ends securing them properly, leave one end to weave in the stitches from row 24 to close the hat.

8. Make a pompom from yarn or add a fur one of you wish.

All done! I hope this small guide helps you make a lovely hat in DK

Of a crochet pattern, but hey it counts doesn’t it?

You can find the pattern for my Jack Skellington Tapestry Crochet Bag in my new Ravelry store here.  It’s free and it’s free to join Ravelry, so why not go and download it and have a go. If you need help there are links to videos in the pattern notes, and my previous post on tapestry crochet might help too!

At the moment the pattern is mostly for the more advanced crocheters, I will be writing up full instructions for the base at least as soon as I can.

Have fun folks!

I have a new crochet related obsession…

November 15, 2016 By Vicky Leave a Comment

to add to the list of all the other crochet things I’m obsessed with.

I’ve been admiring tapestry crochet bags for a while, they have colourful patterns and amazing designs. They originate (as far as I can see) from this group of Latin American people. Their work is amazing. So as I want to learn every crochet technique known to human kind, I decided to have a go.

Pinterest and youtube have lots of excellent resources for the methods of making the  bags and lots of great advice about them too.

This youtube playlist from All Tapestry Crochet is an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to have a go.

And Pinterest has *a lot* of image resources, this is just a few for example.

I’ve used this technique to design my own pattern, not in the traditional style but my own twist. I’m going to write it up and put it on Ravelry ASAP. I’ll post photos as soon as I have decided how I’m going to make the strap for it. I’m quite excited about it.

P.S. The base is the photo for this post.

Bunnies! Bunnies! It must be Bunnies…

March 25, 2016 By Vicky Leave a Comment

Or maybe midgets.

It’s that time of year Anyanka dreads. So in honour of the season, I’ve compiled a list of some of the nicest bunny patterns on the internets (mostly Ravelry). Here we go!

Rita the Rabbit, so very pretty, and a popular series by lalylala dolls.

Rabbit love pattern, again really cute, by may.

Robbie the Rabbit, I love this little guy so much. I’ve made him before, I’m a big fan of the Creepy Cute Crochet book.

Zombie bunny, does he eat brains or carrots?

Another Zombie bunny, still not sure what they’d eat.

Ralstyn the Rabbit, the detail is awesome.

Lola sweet little rabbit, aww so cute.

Amigurumi Rabbit, I’ve used this pattern before to adapt for a custom order. It’s very well written and cute!

Superbunny sat

Last but not least this genius idea, a bunny from a square.

My favorite bunny of all is the one I made for my brother.

Dead Bunny
