Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Part 4/4

/

Hey there everyone, today I have Part 4 of the Crochet Pikachu Table Runner for you today, plus the border!

At this point, Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 should be completed. 

We are still using the 3DC method of filet crocheting in this pattern, and I will continue to describe how many open and closed squares you should have in a row. 

Remember: an open square consists of a DC, CH1, skip a st, and DC, and a closed square is 3DC in a row. 

As always, the PDF chart of the Crochet Pikachu Table Runner is available below, I highly encourage looking at the chart to help visualize the open and closed square placements. The black squares = closed squares and the white squares = open squares.

Materials:

  • White Crochet Thread from Red Heart Super Saver Size 10, 1000 yards x 1
  • 1.65 mm crochet hook 
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Stitch Marker (optional)

Size:

10.5 in x 58 in 

Please note that your size may differ depending on your tension

Abbreviations:

Please note that these are in US terms not UK

  • ST(s) – stitch(es)
  • SL ST – slip stitch
  • CH – chain
  • SC – single crochet
  • DC – double crochet
  • CH3 PICOT – chain 3 stitches, slip stitch in last stitch made

DON’T CUT YOUR YARN.

You now have the main part of the crochet Pikachu Table Runner completed.

I highly suggest crocheting the border on the table runner, as it gives it a polished look and a nice vintage vibe. 

***Please note that the stitches on the long side before the corner will not line up evenly like on the short side***. This makes the border slightly off on those sides. I’ve made adjustments to the pattern to make it less noticeable, and when you’re finished it will be difficult to tell.

Here is a diagram of the pattern for the border I used.

crochetpikachuborder

Border:

Row 1: Turn, ch 1, (sc, ch 1, sc) in same st, sc in each st and ch 1 space across, (sc, ch 1, sc) in the corner spaces. Repeat on all sides. When crocheting down the sides of the table runner, sc in top of dc or ch 3 and in the middle of the “leg” of the dc or in one of the chs in the ch 3. Sl st to the first sc.

Row 2: Sl st into ch 1 space of corner (sc, ch 3, sc), sc in next 4 sts, *(ch 3, skip a st, sc in next st x3 times), sc in next 3 sts.* Repeat from *to* until you’ve reached the corner, sc in next st, (sc, ch 3, sc) in ch 1 corner space. Continue down the next side, after the very last (sc, ch 3, sc), sc in next 6 sts. Create the next (sc, ch 3, sc )corner in the ch 1 space. Continue until the last corner, after last (sc, ch 3, sc), sc in next 4 sts, sl st into first sc made.

Row 3: Ch 1, sc in same st, sc in next st, (sc, ch 5, sc) in ch 3 corner space. Sc in next st, *ch 5, skip 4 sts and sc into next ch 3 space, ch 3, sc into next ch 3 space, ch 3 and sc into last ch 3 space.* Repeat from *to,* until next corner. Ch 5, skip 4 sts, sc into next st, (sc, ch 5, sc) into next ch 3 corner space. Sc into next st and repeat from *to* again down the next side. At the next corner, ch 5, skip 7 sts, sc into next st. Continue until last corner, sl st into first sc made.

 

Row 4: Ch 1, sc in same st, sl st into ch 5 corner space, ch 3 (counts as dc), make 4 dc in same space, make ch 3 picot, make 4 more dc in same space, sc in next st. *4 dc in next ch 5 space, ch 3 picot, 4 more dc in ch 5 space, sc in next ch 3 space, ch 3, sc in next ch 3 space.* Repeat from *to* until next corner. Continue all the way around, make sure to sc in st prior to and after corner spaces, sl st into first sc made.

Cut yarn with scissors, weave in end with tapestry needle. 

Pat yourself on the back for making it all the way to the end!

Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Part 3/4

Hey everyone, today I have Part 3 of the Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Pattern available for you! You should have Part 1 and Part 2 completed by this point.

If you are not familiar, I am using a technique called filet crochet to make this table runner. More specifically, the 3DC method of filet crochet. 

Again, I will be describing the stitches as I did in Part 2. That is, I will be discussing where to place an open and closed square.

Remember: An open square consists of a DC, CH1, skip a st, DC. A closed square consists of 3 DC in a row.

If you’ve completed Part 1/4 of the Crochet Pikachu Table Runner, you should be able to make open and closed squares without difficulty. I will be changing how I describe the following rows in part 2-4. Instead of describing the placement of CH1s and DCs, I’m going to tell you where to place open or closed squares.

Remember:

  • An open square consists of a series of (DC, CH1, skipping a ST or CH1 space, DC)
  • A closed square consists of a series of 3 DC, with the 2nd DC being in a ST or CH1 space.

You can download a PDF of the crochet Pikachu Table Runner below. I highly recommend looking at the chart as you go. 

Another reminder; read this chart up and down and towards the right. Black squares = closed squares and white squares = open squares in this chart.

The CH4 counts as a DC and CH1 for each row.

Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Pattern Part 1/4

/

Hello everyone, I’m excited to show off my latest crochet pattern…a Crochet Pikachu Table Runner! I’ve been in love with using small crochet thread by Red Heart Super Saver recently (which is how I made this piece).

I’ve decided to make this crochet pikachu table runner a 4 part series, this first part will be fairly long, however that is to get you used to the filet crochet technique I’m using here. I will link the parts later in this post once they are complete.

Crochet Pikachu Table Runner

The funny thing about this pattern is that I was actually trying to figure out how I could make a pikachu doily instead…but it turned out to be WAY too difficult for me to do. I just couldn’t get pikachu small enough to make out all the necessary details in the doily. However, the Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Pattern was born! 

It will be helpful if you know how to filet crochet already, but if you don’t, no worries. I have the crochet math figured out for you, and after a few rows, you’ll get the hang of it!

If you’re a visual person, there’s a PDF download of the chart I used below. The white color = open squares and the black color = closed squares. Keep in mind that this chart reads differently than previous charts I’ve created. Instead of crocheting left to right and working up, you will need to crochet up and down and to the right if looking at the chart. 

Why would I do it this way? It might seem a little confusing to read it like this (and you can always print the PDF out and turn it), but this helps prevent a lot of frogging if you mess up. It is super not fun to pull out a long row of crochet because you misplaced 1 closed block, but if it happens on the short side, it doesn’t hurt as bad (in my opinion anyways).

Stick around for the border too! I think the border completes this piece and gives it a vintage crochet vibe that I was shooting for. Borders just make crochet pieces look so much better, but they’re always optional.

Materials:

Size:

My table runner ended up being about 10.5 in x 58 in 

Please note that your size may differ depending on your tension.

Time to Complete:

The Crochet Pikachu Table Runner Pattern took me about 2 weeks of inconsistent crocheting to complete. Your time may vary.

Abbreviations:

Please note that these are in US terms not UK.

  • ST(s) – stitch(es)
  • SL ST – slip stitch
  • CH – chain
  • SC – single crochet
  • DC – double crochet
  • CH3 PICOT – chain 3 stitches, slip stitch in last stitch made

Important Notes:

  • The Math: 38 squares x2 = 76+4 chs. The +4 is for the turning ch plus a ch 1.
  • The filet crochet method used for this pattern includes the 3DC method. That means that a total of 3 DC makes an open or closed square.
  • The CH3’s at the beginning of the row counts as a DC.
  • At the end of the rows, I have included the words up and down. This is based on looking the PDF chart.
  • The border makes a beautiful finish, however the stitches on the long side before the corner, will not line up evenly like on the short side. This makes the border slightly off on those sides. I’ve made adjustments to the pattern to make it less noticeable, and when you’re finished it will be difficult to tell.

Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern – The Magic Mirror

/

Hello everyone, today I have a free crochet baby blanket pattern for you. This is the Magic Mirror blanket, made with self striping yarn from Lion Brand! The line is called Mandala in the Warlock color. 

This is my first time using a self striping yarn (also known as a cake), and I’m pleasantly surprised with how the stripes lined up! I had to name this blanket something magical…the yarn is called Warlock of course! I think that the way the squares around the center are made reminded me of a colorful mirror.

It’s also really nice that you don’t have to cut your yarn and add new colors every couple of rows with self striping yarn. 

Free Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern The Magic Mirror

I’m using one ball of Lion Brand’s Mandala in Warlock for this pattern. It’s a little bit smaller than a typical crochet baby blanket, but it’s great for using as a blanket for your baby in a car seat or stroller, or even for those little preemie babies (if the nurses will let you bring it in the NICU). 

I’ve created this blanket from the center out. I prefer center out crochet when I’m not sure how big my blanket will be, this helps me keep a nice, even square shape no matter what round I need to stop. I’m using a magic circle (magic ring) to start, but you can easily ch 2 and crochet into the first ch instead.

I’m using a stitch called the Wattle Stitch. The stitch is simple once you get started, it is composed of a (sc, ch 1, dc) in the same stitch, then skipping 2 sts or skipping to reach the next chain space.

Okay, let’s get started!

Time to Complete

This crochet baby blanket took me about 2-3 days of inconsistent crocheting to complete.

Materials Needed:

Abbreviations Used:

Please note that these are in US terms, not UK.

  • Mc – magic circle
  • Ch(s) – chain(s)
  • St – stitch
  • Sl st – slip stitch
  • Sc – single crochet
  • Dc – double crochet

Helpful Tips:

  • The starting ch 1’s in each row do not count as a stitch.
  • We will be turning after finishing each row, this gives the wattle stitch a great looking texture.
  • How the corners are crocheted will alternate rounds. So round 2, 4, 6, 8 etc. will have the same type of corner and rounds 3, 5, 7, 9, etc. will have the same type or corner. I found that using wattle stitches to increase in the corners every round made it wave too much. I suspect it is from having too many stitches in the corners, so alternating made the blanket lay flat.

  • Round 5: turn, sl st into next st, sl st again into ch 1 space, ch 1, (sc, ch 1, dc) in same ch 1 space, skip 2 sts, (sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space, *skip next st, (sc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, skip next st, [(sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space, skip 2 sts x3 times], skip 2 sts, (sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space* repeat from *to* until last ch 2 space, (sc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, skip a st, (sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space, skip 2 sts, (sc, ch 1, dc) in last ch 1 space, sl st to first sc.
  • Round 6: turn, sl st into next st, sl st again into ch 1 space, ch 1, (sc, ch 1, dc) in same ch 1 space, skip 2 sts, *(sc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 2 space, skip 2 sts, [(sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space, skip 2 sts x4 times]* repeat from *to* until last ch 2 space, (sc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, sc, ch 1, dc) in ch 2 space, [skip 2 sts, (sc, ch 1, dc) in next ch 1 space x2 times], sl st to first sc.

At this point, hopefully you have the hang of how we are increasing our square with the wattle stitch, I’m going to refine how I describe the following rounds.

  • Round 7: turn, sl st into next st, sl st again into ch 1 space, ch 1, [(sc, ch 1, dc) in same ch 1 space, skip 2 sts until next ch 2 space], *(sc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, [skip st(s) until next ch 1 space, (sc, ch 1, dc) in ch 1 space until next ch 2 space]* repeat from *to* around until last ch 2 space, (sc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 space, (sc, ch 1, dc) in ch 1 space until last ch 1 space, sl st to first sc
  • Round 8: turn, sl st into next st, sl st again into ch 1 space, ch 1, wattle stitch, aka (sc, ch 1, dc) until the first ch 2 space, (sc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, sc, ch 1, dc) in ch 2 space, wattle stitch around, make the (sc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, sc, ch 1, dc) for your ch 2 corners, sl st to first sc.
  • Round 9: turn, sl st into next st, sl st again into ch 1 space, ch 1, wattle stitch until the first ch 2 space, (sc, ch 2, dc) in ch 2 corner space, wattle stitch around, make the (sc, ch 2, dc) for your ch 2 corners, sl st to first sc
  • Round 10: repeat round 8
  • Round 11: repeat round 9

Continuing like this, make your wattle stitches in the ch 1 spaces, increase in the corners by alternating rounds between the (sc, ch 1, dc, ch 2, sc, ch 1, dc) and the (sc, ch 2, dc). Sl st to the beginning of the round and turn.

After completing the last round, sl st to first st, cut yarn with scissors, pull through and weave in  your end.

And there’s your Magic Mirror Crochet Baby Blanket! I hope you found this free crochet pattern useful. I really love the jewel tones in this blanket and the way the stripes lined up.

Crochet Witch Hat Pattern

/

Hello everyone, today I have a crochet witch hat pattern for you! A few years ago I had my oldest daughter dress as a cute little witch for Halloween, but the one essential piece I needed was a witch hat. 

I thought, heck, I could make one of those, BUT I could not find a pattern for a toddler that I really liked. So I made my own instead!

This post is all about how to crochet a witch hat with step by step instructions and pictures.

Crochet Witch Hat

Can you make this hat different sizes?

Yes! The witch hat pattern I have written below fits my 4 year old perfectly and my 2.5 year old (a little big). If you’re needing a smaller or bigger size, you can stop early or add more rows. The formula for making the cone shape is increasing, doing a row of single crochets, doing another row of increases, then another row of single crochets and so on until you reach the desired size.

If you alter the size, keep in mind that you’ll have to adjust the crochet band and possibly the bow. You may need to decrease or add the amount of brim too. 

I suggest using a measuring tape to obtain accurate head measurements and then crocheting until you meet those measurements. Here is a head measurement guide that has average head circumferences by age if you need help.

What is the best yarn to use for this pattern?

I use acrylic yarn from Red Heart Super Saver. Acrylic yarn is perfect for keeping the witch hat and brim stiff. I think that if you use a softer yarn, your hat would most likely slouch and be floppier.

Do I have to crochet the band and bow?

Nope! Honestly, it would be easier to buy a ribbon and tie a pretty bow around the hat. If you’re like me, I didn’t have any ribbon, nor did I feel like buying any…so I used orange yarn from my stash instead.

Materials Needed:

Abbreviations Used:

Please note that these are in US terms, not UK.

Helpful Tips:

  • The number in parenthesis at the end of the rows indicates the number of stitches you should have.
  • The hat is made in a continuous row, meaning that we will not be slip stitching and chaining to get to the next row height. This is where you will need a stitch marker to help you determine the beginning and end of your rounds. You can use a scrap piece of yarn or a paperclip if you don’t have stitch markers on hand.
  • The first round of the brim is made by crocheting in the front loops. If you look at the top your stitches, you’ll notice it looks like a little V, insert your hook into the part of the V that is closest to you. That is the front loop.
  • Sew the bow directly onto the band (not into the hat), this helps prevent a bunch of uncomfortable yarn pushing against your head.

Orange Bow (optional)

We will be making the bow in three different parts and sewing them together later. 

You don’t have to make the bow or the band, but I think they give the witch hat a nice finishing touch, especially if you’re making this for a little girl.

Center Part:

This is easily adjustable by reducing or increasing the amount of starting chains.

  • Row 1: ch 31, without twisting, sl st to first st to create a loop (30 sts)
  • Row 2-7: turn, ch 1, sc in each ch around, sl st to first st (30 sts)

Leave a long tail, cut yarn with scissors and pull through. Take the tail and wrap it around the middle of the bow. Weave in the end back into the middle part to secure it.

Row 2

Sew like this

Bow “Tails”:

This is adjustable by chaining less or more, and then placing increases in the beginning and end stitches of each row.

  • Row 1: ch 12, sc in second ch from hook, sc in each ch across (11 sts)
  • Row 2: turn, ch 1 (does not count as a st this row and following rows), 2 sc in first st, sc in next 9 sts, 2 sc in last st (13 sts)
  • Row 3: turn, ch 1, 2 sc in first st, sc in next 11 sts, 2 sc in last st (15 sts)
  • Row 4: turn, ch 1, 2 sc in first st, sc in next 13 sts, 2 sc in last st (17 sts)
  • Row 5: turn, ch 1, 2 sc in first st, sc in next 15 sts, 2 sc in last st (19 sts)
  • Row 6: turn, ch 1, 2 sc in first st, sc in next 17 sts, 2 sc in last st (21 sts)

Leave a long tail, cut yarn with scissors and pull through. 

Weave in the tail back through the last row’s stitches until the 10th stitch. Wrap your tail around the middle of the “tails.” Hold the tails open firmly with one hand so the side that we weaved the tail in doesn’t curl on you. 

Weave in the end back into the middle part to secure it.

Row 1-6

Bow Middle Section:

This part is made to hide the yarn that we wrapped around the center and tails. 

Adjust length by chaining more chains in the beginning.

  • Row 1:  ch 14, turn, sc in second ch from hook and each ch across (13 sts)

Leave a long tail, cut yarn with scissors and pull through.

Crochet Bow Center Part
Bow Middle Section Row 1

Bow Assembly:

Sew together all three parts by placing the middle section over the center and tail pieces. Make sure the tail piece is sew with the shorter side on top. 

This part can be a little difficult as you are trying to keep all the pieces together, but don’t sweat it! I ended up having to overlap the middle section to get the tightness I wanted.

Bow Assembly

Orange Band around Witch Hat:

Adjust size by decreasing or increasing the amount of rows. You want to make sure the band will fit around the hat nicely without it being too short or too long.

  • Row 1: ch 5, insert hook into second ch from hook, sc in each st across (4 sts)
  • Row 2: turn, ch 1, (does not count as a stitch), sc in each st across (4 sts)
  • Row 3-84: Repeat row 2

My band length is approximately 23.5 inches.

Fold the band together without twisting. Insert hook into both sts and sl st across to sew together.

Bow and Band Assembly

After you’ve sewed the bow pieces together, sew the bow directly onto where you joined the band together. 

Now place the band with the bow onto the hat. Cut a very long piece of orange yarn, attach to the back side of the band and sew the band across the hat. Try to sew in the same row of stitches on the hat to give the band a nice, even look. 

Sew yarn securely. Cut any excess yarn off with scissors.

Crochet Halloween Pattern – Beginner Washcloth

/

If you’re looking for an easy crochet Halloween pattern, then look no further! Today I have a beginner friendly, Halloween washcloth pattern for you. When I was new to crocheting, I wanted more simple patterns, especially for Halloween (it’s my FAVORITE holiday). There’s a lot of awesome patterns out there, but I needed something that would have simple stitches, and test my ability to crochet a bit (color changes). 

In this post, you’ll learn how to crochet a Halloween beginner washcloth.

Crochet Halloween Patterns

This crochet Halloween pattern has two types of stitches, single crochet and double crochet. Each row alternates between two colors (orange and black) and single/double crochets.

I used yarn from Red Heart Super Saver for these crochet washcloths. I would say that their line of acrylic yarn is SUPER affordable and comes in so many different colors. This is great if you’re trying to learn your new hobby while saving some cash.

This Yarn Feels Too Scratchy! What Can I Do?

Even although acrylic yarn is cheap and comes in an array of colors, it does feel a little scratchy (at least in my opinion). That being said, don’t turn away from acrylic yarn just yet. There is a way to make it softer!

My number one favorite way to soften acrylic yarn is to WASH it.

Yep, it’s that easy. I wash my projects with cold water, laundry detergent and fabric softener along with my normal load. Once washed, place it in the dryer with a dryer sheet.

It usually comes out MUCH softer after this step. Now, the problem with washing is that you need to make sure your project will survive the wash. This is why it’s also important to weave in your ends really well.

Now, it might take another washing or two to get it to be super soft, but I find this to be the easiest way to make that cheap Red Heart Super Saver yarn less scratchy.

Feel free to use any type of yarn, it really doesn’t have to be acrylic,  just make sure it’s a 4 medium weight, otherwise your finished size will be a little different.

How to Color Change in this Pattern

There will be color changes throughout this pattern, but they are at the end of the rows. If you’re not sure how to color change, there’s a lot of different ways to go about it. I personally like to color change this way:

  • Start making my last stitch, whether it be a single or double crochet, but don’t finish it all the way! Leave 2 loops on your hook, attach your new color by making a loop and placing it on your crochet hook. Pull the new color through the 2 loops.

If you need help color changing, I’ve made a post about How to Color Change in Crochet the Right Way that discusses my method.

Why you Should Carry Your Yarn

You can carry your yarn with you as you crochet if you hate weaving in ends (like I do). Carrying your yarn as you crochet will help when you need to switch colors, as you don’t need to cut with scissors every time.

In this crochet pattern, you won’t even see the yarn that you’re carrying between the stitches, even when you swap the colors. Some people don’t care that much, but for me, some projects, I REALLY don’t like seeing the carried yarn through the stitches.

To carry your yarn with you: 

  • Take the previous yarn color and place it in front or behind the next stitch.
  • Crochet as normal, but make sure that the previous yarn color is also being worked over (instead of being left behind).
  • At the end of the row, when a color change is needed, don’t finish your stitch, drop the yarn color you were using and pick up the yarn you’ve been carrying with you. Pull the new color yarn through your unfinished stitch.

You don’t have to do it this way, if you’re more comfortable cutting your yarn and attaching your new color, that’s fine too! 

Border Info

I’ve also placed a border on these washcloths, which consists of one simple row of single crochets. Borders aren’t absolutely necessary, but they make the final product look SO much cleaner. 

When you reach your corner stitch, you’ll single crochet, chain 3, and single crochet all in the same stitch. 

Alright, I think that’s enough talk, let’s jump into the pattern!

  • Row 1: CH1, (SC in the same ST, CH1, SC) in same ST, going down the side, SC in the “leg” of the DC, SC in the orange SC, SC in the top of the DC, then SC in the “leg” of the same DC. Continue SC down the side this way until the next corner. (SC, CH1, SC) in the corner ST. SC in each ST across the next side, create another (SC, CH1, SC) in the 3rd corner. Repeat how you SC up the next side like you did previously, but you’ll notice the CH3’s instead of DC. SC in the 1st and 2nd CH’s of those CH3’s. (SC, CH1, SC) in the 4th corner. SC across the top, SL ST into the first SC you made. 

Cut yarn, pull through, weave in end with tapestry needle.

For the Other Washcloth,

start with the opposite color that you started with (in this case it will be orange), CH23, and repeat rows 1-13. Add the border when finished.

That’s it! Enjoy your Halloween with this beginner friendly, crochet washcloth! I absolutely love how they turned out, and i really like how the contrast of the black and orange yarn give it a neat zig zag pattern.

Crochet Infinity Veil Pattern

Crochet Infinity Veil for Mass – Free Pattern

/

Hello everyone, I hope summer has been treating you all well! Today I have a crochet infinity veil pattern for you.

The girls have been playing with my veil at mass and it got me inspired to make their own! I didn’t want to spend the money on getting veils for them when they’re this little, so I thought it would be fun to try making them myself.

I tried looking up a crochet pattern for a veil, but I couldn’t find much. It was mostly people trying to sell their finished crochet veils on Etsy (which I’m cheap so didn’t want to buy a pattern lol!). Or it was tutorials on how to sew your own veil together with different materials.

I did find this post helpful from Crocheting with Joy. I liked her idea of taking a shawl pattern and turning it into a veil. However, I personally wear an infinity veil and I wanted to recreate that style instead of a V shape. 

This pattern does require a teeny tiny hook (1.65 mm to be exact) and size 10 crochet thread. The delicacy of the tiny thread gives it a lovely, lacy look.

This was very much a labor of love, it did take a long time to get the crochet infinity veil to the length that I wanted it. With that said, once you get the pattern down, it’s easy to tackle while you’re watching your favorite show or listening to a podcast.

Why wear a veil to mass?

Although wearing a veil to mass is no longer a requirement, some women may want to continue the tradition of wearing one to mass.

One of the main reasons why women veil at mass is to humble herself before God during the mass where Christ is present in the Eucharist.

It is also seen as being modest and respectful.

Check out some of my other patterns here!

Materials Needed:

  • Red Heart Classic Crochet Thread in White, size 10
  • 1.65 mm crochet hook
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Scissors
  • Stitch markers (option)

Abbreviations Used:

Please note that these abbreviations are in US terms. 

  • Ch – chain
  • St(s) – stitch(es)
  • Sl st – slip stitch
  • Sc – single crochet
  • Dc – double crochet
  • Shell – 6 dc separated by ch 1s in same st. Or in simpler terms…dc, ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc, ch 1, dc.

Crochet Infinity Veil for Mass Pattern:

You can make your own veil shorter or longer by chaining a series of 14 + 4 + 4. The 14 is the base repeat, the first +4 is to account for the 2 double crochets bordering on both sides, and the second +4 is to account for the turning chain. Please keep in mind that you will fold the crochet veil in half at the end to create the “infinity” part.

Ch 260

Protip: Use your stitch markers every 50 chs or a count of your choice. This helps if needing to recount.

Row 1: Dc in next ch, ch 1, skip 1 ch, (sc in next ch, ch 3, skip 2 chs, sc in next ch, x3 times), *ch 1, skip 2 chs, shell into next ch (dc, ch1, dc x6 times in same ch), ch 1, skip 2 chs, (sc in next ch, ch 3, skip 2 chs x3 times)* repeat from *to* until last 4 chs (should be finished with the shell at this point), ch 1, skip 2 chs, dc in last 2 chs

You should have 4 “petals” on top of the shell from the previous row. Ch 3, skip the next (sc, ch3 space, sc), and dc between the next (sc, ch3 space, sc). Ch 3 and dc in the same space. Ch 3, skip the last (sc, ch3, sc) and sc between the (dc, ch1, dc) in the next shell*. Repeat from *to* until the very last (dc, ch3, dc).

Sewing Together:

Fold in the crochet veil in half. Line the edges up and insert your hook through both sides. Slip stitch down the edge to sew together. Try your best to line up the stitches as evenly as possible for a clean look. 

Cut thread with scissors and weave in ends with tapestry needle.

Animal Crossing Crochet Tabletop Pattern – Free Pattern

/

Hello and welcome back to another free crochet pattern, created by yours truly! Today I have for you an Animal Crossing Crochet Tabletop Pattern! Now that summer is here, I always tend to crochet more decorative items, because let’s be real…wearing acrylic crochet is not much fun in the heat.

Animal Crossing is another video game that is near and dear to my heart. I’ve been feeling a little nostalgic recently and I have fond memories of playing Animal Crossing during my childhood. It’s such a relaxing game with lots of open ended play. 

I would use this as a centerpiece for your table or coffee table. It’s a little too tall (thick? lol!) to be a runner for an end table in my opinion. When completed (and prior to blocking), my piece measured roughly 31″ x 9.5″ before adding fringe.

The Animal Crossing Crochet Tabletop Pattern has the iconic leaf logo from the game in a repeat of three. 

You’ll have to change between two colors throughout the pattern. I will explain my process below, however, feel free to use whatever method of color changing you prefer. If you need more help, you can check out my previous post on How to Color Change in Crochet the Right Way.

Tag me on Instagram with your finished projects @strommercrafts!

Thank you and I hope you enjoy this pattern! 🙂

Materials Needed:

  • 5 mm crochet hook
  • 1 skein of Red Heart Super Saver Worsted Weight Size 4 in Aran color
  • 1 skein of Red Heart Super Saver Worsted Weight Size 4 in Thyme color
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Scissors
  • Stitch marker (optional)

Abbreviations Used:

  • ch – chain
  • st(s) – stitch(es)
  • hdc – half double crochet
  • CTA – change to aran
  • CTT – change to thyme

Useful Tips:

  • I have written out all the color changes below, but I have a picture and PDF of the chart if you’re more of a visual person. If using the chart, each square = 1 hdc.
  • Read the chart left to right for row 1, right to left for row 2 and so on. 
  • Use the stitch marker on one side to help you determine left from right.
  • When changing colors, you’ll always stop 1 st before the needed color change. Do not finish your hdc all the way (you’ll have 3 strands of yarn on your hook), put your new color on the hook and pull through.
    • For example: I have aran on my hook and need to switch to thyme on the 10th st (or square if using the chart). On the 9th stitch I will color change as described above.
  • I tend to crochet the ends of my yarn along the way when I can. You can weave the ends in if you’d rather. If you weave in too many ends, you tend to get a little wave/bulge going in your work.
  • I chose to carry the aran color throughout the pattern, even when working on the leaves, but I dropped the thyme color only in the spaces between the leaves. (Due to the light aran color, you can really see the thyme color between stitches, which is fine, it’s just not my preference).

Dress with crochet belt pattern

Simple and Cute Crochet Belt Pattern

/

Hello again, and welcome to Strommer Crafts. Today we will be learning how to make simple and cute crochet belt! I thought I would share this pattern even though anyone could have come up with it.

***Please note that this post may contain affiliate links. This means that I may receive a commission if you purchase something through these links (at no cost to you!). Thank you for your support!***

I had recently made an online purchase of a yellow, floral dress for my birthday. When it arrived, I tried it on and quickly noticed that it was missing something…

A belt! 

Although, I ashamedly admit, I didn’t have one (but now I do, yay!). So I started browsing through the internet for a cute black belt. After scrolling for a while and not being satisfied with the belt or price, it hit me; why not just make a belt?

I have so much yarn to use, I thought I would at least try to whip one up. Plus it would save me a little bit of cash, which is always a bonus in my book!

This is a great project for beginner crocheters! The only “weird” thing you do in the pattern is crochet in the back loop of your single crochets. 

Plus all you need is a bit of yarn and a crochet hook and you’re good to go! I used Black Yarn by Red Heart Super Saver and a 5 mm crochet hook, however, feel free to use whatever yarn and hook size you would like. Just note that different yarn and hook sizes might make your project wider or skinnier.

Feel free to adjust the number of chains at the beginning if you would like a wider or skinnier belt.

Simple and Cute Crochet Belt Pattern

The pattern gives it a nice little “ridged” texture, as well as making the ends slightly pointy. I didn’t want my belt to be totally squared off at the ends, and I think the end result looks pretty decent.

I had originally thought about making a single crochet border around the finished belt, but decided against it. I thought the little gaps between the rows gave it a nice texture too. Of course, if you like a little more structure with your crochet projects, feel free to add a border of your choice around.

Alright, let’s get started!

Materials Needed:

Abbreviations Used:

  • Ch – chain
  • Sc – single crochet
  • Sc2tog – single crochet 2 stitches together

Simple and Cute Crochet Belt Pattern:

With Black yarn and 5 mm crochet hook: (if you need help putting your yarn on your hook by slip knotting click here).

  • Row 1: Ch 3, from second ch from hook, make 2 sc in that ch and in the next ch make another 2 sc (4 sts)
  • Row 2-desired length: Ch 1 and turn, sc in the back loop of each st, repeat for each row. (4sts)
    • What is the back loop? If you look straight down on your stitch…it has 2 sides and looks a little bit like a V, insert your hook into the side that is farthest away from you and make your sc. This helps create that nice ridged texture.
  • At desired length: Ch1, turn, sc2tog and then sc2tog again (2sts). At the end of your row, cut yarn with scissors and pull through. Weave in ends with tapestry needle.

Tada! It’s really that simple! Here’s another picture of the belt with a different dress. Get creative and tie it in different ways!
