How To Crochet Baby Booties

Crochet Baby Booties

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  St = stitch, 

Ch = chain,  * * =repeat work in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo – yarn over, ss = slip stitch, hdc = half a double crochet

Dc 3 tog  = yo, hook into specified st, pull up a loop, yo and draw hook through 2 loops (2 loops left), yo, hook into specified st, pull up a loop, yo and draw hook through 2 loops, yo hook into specified st, pull up a loop, yo and draw hook through 2 loops and through all st

I am using Baby Bernat Softee yarn which is a size 3 light acrylic yarn and a size 3.75mm hook or F

I am not sure of what age this fits but the sole of the bootie measures about  about 3 inches. And the whole bootie is about 4 inches lengthwise.

Remember that the numbers on the video correspond to the numbers on this written pattern!

On the video at about 2.30 minutes, I left out that you need to make 1hdc in the last stitch (after the 6sc) It is by the number 2. 

1.  Ch10

2.  2hdc in the 3^rd ch from the hook,

     1sc in each of the next 6 stitches, you should have 1ch left and you do 5dc in that last ch

     Keep going (you should be on the opp side of the work you did) and 1sc in each of the next

     6 stitches, 1hdc in the last stitch (before the 2ch that you skipped in the beg when you went 

     Into the 3^rd ch from hook) I LEFT IT OUT ON THE VIDEO  slip stitch into the 2^nd ch (21 stitches)

3.  Ch2, 1hdc in the same place, 2hdc in each of the next 2 st, 1hdc in each of the next 6 st,         2hdc       

      In the next st and 1hdc in the next, 2hdc in the next st and 1hdc in the next st, 2hdc in the

      Next st, , 1hdc in the next 6 st, 2hdc in the last st, ss into the beg ch2 (28 st)

4.  Ch2, 1hdc in the same st, 2hdc in each of the next 3 st, 1sc in the next 8st, 1hdc in the next st,        2dc in each of the next 5st, 1hdc in the next st, 1sc in each of the next 9st, ss into beg ch

5.  Ch1, 1sc in each of the next 19stm 1hdc in the next st, 2hdc in each of the next 4st, 1hdc in

       Next st, 1sc in each of the next 12 st, ss into beg sc (41^st and we stay at 41^st)

6.  We work in the back loop only of all the rest of the rows

      Ch2, 1hdc in each st around (going into the back loop), join in the beg ch 2, TURN YOUR

     WORK AROUND

7.  Ch2,1hdc in each st, join in 2^nd ch of beg ch2, Turn

8.  Ch2, 1hdc in each st, join in 2^nd ch of beg ch 2, Turn

9.  Ch2, 1hdc in each of the next 9st,( dc 3 tog) x5, 1hdc in the remaining stitches around, join in 

      2^nd ch of beg ch2, (31 stitched) Turn

10. Ch1, sc in each of the next 16st, (dc3 tog)x2, 1sc in each remaining st around (27st) Turn

11.  Working in both loops again, Ch1, 1sc in each stitch around, ss to beg st

12.  Ch1, reverse sc in each stitch around, ss to 1^st st. Fasten off

13. Ch 50 to make a bow to tie around.

How to Crochet a Granny Square Hat

Hi there,

I thought I would make a granny square hat as it is so easy and here it is!
Remember the numbers on the video correspond to the numbers on the written pattern.

HOW TO CROCHET A GRANNY SQUARE HAT

I used Caron Simply Soft yarn in the navy, turquoise, yellow, red and orange

I used a size 5.00mm hook

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  St = stitch, 

Ch = chain,  * * =repeat work in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo – yarn over, ss = slip stitch, hdc = half a double crochet

1.  Ch4, (the first 3ch stand as your first double crochet), 11dc in the first ch that you made = 12dc. Sc into the top of the ch3. Change color an finish the sc with your new color

2.  Ch3,1 dc in the same place, *2dc in each st all the way around* = 24dc, Sc into 1^st st and change your yarn color

3.  Ch3, 1dc in the same place, 1dc in the next st,* 2dc in the next st, 1dc in the next st* repeat to the end of the round = 36dc, Sc into the 1^st st and change your color

4.  Ch1, 1sc in each st around = 36sc, sc into 1^st stitch and change color

5.  Ch6 (4 of those ch will stand for your treble),  1Tr into the same st, 1dc in each of the next 2 st, 1hdc in the next st, 1sc in each of the next 2sc, 1hdc in the next st, 1dc in each of the next 2st, 1Tr in the next st, ch2, 1Tr in the same st,

 * 1dc in the next 2 st, 1hdc in the next st, 1sc in each of the next 2sc, 1hdc in the next st, 1dc in each of the next 2st, 1Tr  2ch  1Tr (cnr) in the next stitch* repeat this to end of square but finishing with 1dc in the last 2 stitches and ss into the 4^th ch

6. Ch3, 2dc, ch2, 2dc in the same space (cnr), starting in the very first dc, make 1dc in each of the next 10dc till you get to the next cnr, *2dc in the next space  ch2  2dc in the same space, 10dc in each of the next 10dc* rep to end but ending with the 9dc in each of the next 9dc, as the ch3 that you started with becomes the 10^th dc, ss into the top of that ch3

7.  This round = for the 4 motifs going around your hat, this round will be done in hdc but for the 5^th motif right at the top you will do dc. I will say dc/hdc and use whichever one is needed

Ch3, 1dc/hdc in the next st, 3dc/hdc in the corner, 14 dc/hdc in the next 14st,

*14dc/hdc in the next 14 stitches, 3dc/hdc in the corner* repeat to end, ending with 12dc/hdc as 13 and 14 where made in the beginning, and sc into top of the ch3 you made

8.  Sew your 4 squares together sewing the last one to the 3^rd and 1^st square, sew the 5^th square at the top attaching it to the 4 squares

BORDER

9. Start in the middle of any square, Ch3, 1dc in each of the stitches all around

10. Do another round or as many or less as you need. I did another round of 1sc in each of the dc and then I did one round of reverse single crochet.

How to Crochet a Bracelet Cuff

Hi there, 

I made this bracelet cuff and love the look so decided to share it. It is not a beginners project. If you haven't done color work before you will be better off trying with a thicker yarn before you try this. But all in all it is fairly easy to do. Have fun. Remember that the numbers on the video correspond to the numbers on this pattern

BRACELET CUFF

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  St = stitch, 

Ch = chain,  * * =repeat work in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo – yarn over, ss = slip stitch

I used embroidery floss in the black and white. I used 2 black and 4 white. The color one I used 2 blue, 2 pink and 2 black.

I used a size 2.75mm crochet hook. To do the ch and the first row I used a 1.80mm hook.

PATTERN

The cuff measures 18in by 7in

1.  Start with a size 1.80mm hook and chain 55 and sc into the 2^nd ch from the hook, you should have 54 stitches. Do 1 row plain sc.

2.  Change to size 2.75mm hook and turn your work around

 I will be doing sc throughout the pattern, I will do sc in the very first sc.

Each row in the pattern below is repeated 3 times, to get your 3 flowers in. 

W= white,  B= black.  Example   5w, 4bl, 9w = single crochet 5 in white, single crochet 4 in black and single crochet 9 in white – repeat this 3 times.

3.  5w  4bl  9w – repeat 3x

4.  3w  3bl  2w  5bl  5w

5.  4w  5bl  2w  4bl  3w

6.  2w  11bl   5w

7. 5w  11bl  2w

8.  2w  6bl  3w  4bl  3w

9.  2w  5bl  1w  1bl  1w  5bl  3w

10.  5w  2bl  1w  2bl  1w  4bl  3w

11.  2w  4bl  1w  3bl  1w  3bl  4w

12.  3w  4bl  1w  2bl  1w  4bl  3w

13.  3w  4bl  3w  5bl  3w

14.  2w  10bl  6w

15.  5w  6bl  1w  3bl  3w

BORDER

16.  Do one row in plain white sc

17.  Start on the side part of your cuff and we are going to ss all the way around. Start with a ch1 and ss into about 15st as that was how many rows we did. Ss all the way around your cuff.

18.  If you need yours to be longer make a few extra rows of sc only on the ends and then do the border all around

19. Ch1,  Sc into each ss around. The corners may need an extra stitch which you can add if you need to keep your corner flat

20.  ch1, 15sc across the end (add to corner if need be). Along the long side you will* Ch3, sc into the 1^st ch (picot made), sc into the next st, sc into the next st,* repeat along the long side of cuff and then on the end part just do 15sc and repeat the long side of cuff with the picot’s as above.

Add your clasp on the end and you are done.

How to Crochet a Hat with Butterfly Motif

Hi there everyone,
I am very happy with the way my hat turned out so am sharing it with you. Remember that the numbers on the video correspond to the numbers on the pattern. The whole hat is done in hdc except for the border which you can do in hdc or in the back or forward post hdc like I did.

How to Crochet a Hat with a Butterfly Motif

Sc = single crochet,  Dc = double crochet,  Sp = space,  Tr = treble,  St = stitch, 

Ch = chain,  * * =repeat work in between the stars,  Tog = together,  yo – yarn over, ss = slip stitch

P = pink  W=white

This hat is done in half a double crochet – hdc all the way.

I used caron simply soft yarn with a size 6.5 (k) hook.

The numbers on the video correspond to the numbers on this written pattern

1.  Ch 4, ss into the 1^st ch to form a ring

2.  Ch2, 7hdc in the ring = 8hdc, ss into the 1^st ch of the ch2

3.  Ch2 (stands as 1^st hdc) 1hdc in the same sp, *2hdc in each st*, repeat to the end,  ss into 1^st ch = 16hdc

4.  Ch2 (for 1^st hdc), 1hdc in the same sp, 1hdc in the next st, *2hdc in the next st, 1hdc in the next st* rep to end – 24 hdc, ss into 1^st st

5.  Ch2, 1hdc in the same st, 1hdc in next st, 1hdc in the  next st, *2hdc in the next st, 1hdc in the next st, 1hdc in the next st* to the end = 32 hdc, ss into 1^st st

6. Ch2, 1hdc in next st, 1hdc in the next, 1hdc in the next, *2hdc in the next st, 1hdc in each of the next 3st* to the end = 40hdc, ss into 1^st st

8.  Ch2, 1 hdc in each of the next 5st, *2hdc in the next st, 1hdc in each of the next 5st* to the end =56st, ss into 1^st st

9. Ch2, 1hdc in each of the next 6st, *2hdc in the next st, 1hdc in each of the next 6st* to the end = 64st, ss into 1^st st

You need to repeat each row twice – P = pink  W =white

10.   Crochet 15p stitches, 1w, 3p, 1w, 12p – repeat this again. Make sure you end with exactly 12 pink stitches
