Crochet V Neck Shrug

Hi,

After a long time, I crocheted ofcourse with difficulty but happy for various reasons....

Made this Crochet V Neck Shrug for a CAL.

This is the first shrug I crocheted hence faced lot of difficulty in understanding the pattern. worked,  and reworked many times. My friend and the CAL leader patiently guided me and helped me finish the shrug on time.

Was done couple of weeks back... thought will share with you......

It's a great learning experience and I thoroughly enjoyed doing the project.  Will share with you in the coming days, the small crochet works which I would be doing if my eyes co-operate!

Would you like to try this pattern? Here is the link to this V-neck Shrug pattern.

.. till then I am signing off! Bye!

Happy Crocheting!

Crochet Diya / Agal Vilaku

Hi,

It has been a pretty LONG time since I blogged....

Was facing some health issues due to which i was away from my hobbies, including blogging and I am trying to get myself back into action. So you can expect some frequent posts here may be not with such a long break ;-)

A Good Start with a small project to welcome the festival of Lights!

For the upcoming festival of Diwali, i joined a CAL (Crochet Along) and crocheted this Diya / Vilaku.  It is not my own pattern. Followed a pattern by a fellow Crocheter.

Made the Jyoti (Flame) using cotton and acrylic color and attached to the diya.

See you soon with my next post.

Till then, Bye !

Granny Square Drawstring Pouch © -Alluring Crochet

Hi,

Hope you are doing good. I am back with my first post for this month.

I took a break from crocheting as my eyes badly needed a break. Finally back with my hook last week. Yesterday I was working on a small project-a drawstring pouch. The first easiest design that came to my mind is 'Granny Square'.

©You can use this pattern and make things and sell it. But You cannot sell this pattern. 

Used Acrylic 4 ply yarn of charming yellow and varigated shade of green, 3.25 mm hook for this project.

Measures : 6.5" (h) and 5" (b)

Stretches upto 8" (h) and 6" (b) approx

An alluring Drawstring Pouch with my own version of the Pattern diagram on how I worked on it.Hope it will be use to you.

 

I have shared the diagram I have made while working on this.

 

For the drawstring, make 70 to 75 chains, weave them through Row-7, join ends. Attach a tassel at the end to each drawstring.

Granny Square pouch is ready!

You may add in more number of rows to get a bigger pouch. Accordingly the string length will vary. Lining is optional.

Birds on a swing - a wall hanging

A project which got cooked up in my mind and finally arrived at the result ofcourse after some trial and errors. A pair of birds happily sitting on the swing.

Now it is decorating my living room.

 

A video :- 

Aren't they cute?

Crochet Cushion Cover - motifs joined

Came across  a free download of the pattern. But since the yarn varies, mine didn't fit the 16" cushion as mentioned in the pattern. So, I finished it with some rows of granny square.

Back side, used fabric.

Crochet Cushion cover - Grany square four pieces

A cushion cover recently crocheted by me. Black & White combo is always a great one to go with most of the sofa colours. This is the first fusion cushion cover project by me. Attached a fabric back to the crocheted front. I am not a sewing expert hence after several mistakes, trials, finally i was able to make it.  So making of a second one is going to be even more fun as now i am no more new to fushion covers.

Back side fabric attachment :-

Now happily sitting to sew the Second one which is nearing finish.

Crochet Pineapple Pouch - string pouch

Pot Holder - beaded swirl centre flower

This is my first post in my blog using beaded crochet. Though I have done few similar works which were gifted away, they were done very long back. this is the first beaded crochet work that is photographed by me.

This interesting pattern I came across while surfing for some other project. When I search for something I get distracted by so many eye catching interesting crochet patterns which I normally collect in my project library. This is one such pattern the link of which is here

Crochet Elusive Rose Doily

Came across this interesting doily in a group for crocheters and with the help of one of the crocheters could download the pattern from http://www.freepatterns.com. Search for "Elusive Blue Rose Doily".


Happy Crocheting

Round Ruffled Doily

This can be used as a hot pad, fruitbasket holder, flower pot holder etc.

Did this for a CAL in "Passionate About Crochet" Group and really enjoyed doing this. A trial and error method but finally able to make it.

Crochet Cathedral Motif Doily

This doily I was using as a mat over the side table. It was done long back but only a month back, I realised that it was not posted here. I used a two ply silky thread (not branded one but a local make) which has light multi shades of lavender colour.

Here it is for your :-

The original pattern link I forgot but this diagram photo was with me in my collection. I could not find the diagram for those who wish to give this beautiful motif a try, hence I delayed the posting of this work for a month. It was obtained during my search for some other project. As it was a beautiful motif pattern, I included it in my to-do list and did it.

Crochet V-stitch Cell Cozy

I missed to post my cell phone cozy here. I made this after I changed my timing from evening to morning walks. Morning is a pleasant time when pollution in air is comparitively less compared to evening time. The birds are active chirping, trees looks fresh after a sleep to rejuvenate us for the day with their oxygen factory.... oho! I am taking you somewhere else!!

Instead of carrying it in hand I thought why not make a mobile cover for myself and thus ended up making this cell cozy which I can hang in my neck.

Used silk thread for this project (told by the vendor). It comes in many colours with a shine.  It is a local make and didn't have a brand label on it.  The thread is thick and stretches while in use & contracts when not in use.

Many crochet mobile cozies in the market here which has a shine is made using this thread.

I used I-cord method for making the chord for hanging it on neck. You can check the video for it here  

Made some chains for base foundation, followed by two rows of SC around and then V-stitch around till desired length.

I liked this gorgeous button which goes well with this silk thread.
