Baby's Cotton Hat

BABY'S COTTON HAT

Aunt Lydia's cotton in a size 10, doubled and a size 2.75mm crochet hook

dc = double crochet      *  *  rep what is in between the stars
sc = single crochet        st = stitch
ss = slip stitch               sp = space
ch = chain                      cnr = corner
hdc = half a double crochet
tr = treble

Picot = ch3 and ss or sc into the 1st ch

REMEMBER - the numbers on the video correspond to the numbers on the written pattern.
Remember we are doubling our yarn

1. Ch7, ss into the first stitch

2. Ch5 (stands as 1dc, 2ch),* 1dc in the next st, ch2* rep between stars until you have 8dc including the 1st ch 5, ss into the 3rd ch

3. Ch4, *2tr in the next ch, 2 tr in the next ch (so that is 4tr in the next ch sp), ch2* repeat in between stars all the way around (32tr all together), ss into the 4th ch

4. Ch4, 2tr in the next tr, 2tr in the next tr, 1tr in the last tr, ch5, *1tr in next st, 2tr in next st, 2tr in next st, 1tr in next st, ch5* repeat to end, ss into the 4th ch

5. Ch4, 5tr tog in the next 4tr, ch5, 3tr  in the middle ch of the next ch sp, ch5,  *6tr tog in the next 6 tr, ch5, 3tr in the middle ch of the next ch sp, ch5* repeat between the stars to the end, ending with 3ch, 1dc into the middle of the 6tr tog

6. ch7, *1sc in the middle of the ch 5, 2dc in the 1st tr, 2dc tog in the middle tr, 2dc in the next tr, 1sc in the middle of the ch5, ch7, * rep in the stars to the end, ending with a sc in the top of the dc you made

7.  ch6, 1sc in the middle of the ch7, *2tr tog in the next 2st (in the dc not in the sc), 3ch, 3tr tog (1 in the same place as the previous st, 1 in the next st and 1 in the next st), 3ch, 2tr tog in the prev stitch (the one you just worked in)  and the next st, 1sc into the middle of the ch7,* rep this, ending with a ss and new color

8. Ch5 (3 for our picot), ch2, 1sc into the 1st sc you had made on previous round, *ch2, 1 picot, ch2, 1sc above the 3tr, ch2, 1sc in the next tr, * repeat in the stars to end (you are doing the sc into each of those tr from previous round) ss into the 1st stitch - 24 picots

9.  Ch6, 1dc in the sc, 1 picot,* ch3, 1dc in the sc, ch3, 1picot, ch3, 1dc in the sc*, rep in the stars all the way around but instead of a dc in the sc at end ss into the 3rd ch of the beg 6 chain, 1 picot = 24 picot

10. Ch3, 1dc in the same space, 1 picot, ch3,* 1dc in the next space, 1 picot, ch3,* repeat this to the end - 24 picots, ss into the top of the 1st picot.

11. Change yarn if you are changing colors. Restart your work in the 1st ch sp,
Ch3 (stands for 1st dc) 1dc in the same sp, ch2, 2dc in the next ch sp, *2dc in the next ch sp, ch2* repeat to the end (24 sets of dc), end with ch2 and ss into the top of the ch3

12. Ch3, 1dc in the next dc, *1dc in each of the 2dc, ch2* repeat around ss into the top of the ch3

13. repeat row 12 until the length is as long as you want it. I did 4 rows

14.  ch3 as a picot, 1sc or 2sc in the next ch sp, 1sc in between the 2dc, *1 picot, 1sc or 2sc in next ch sp, 1sc in between the 2dc * repeat to the end - it is better to do 2sc not 1sc go to the end and ss into the 1st st

Crochet a Butterfly in Bruges Lace Part 1-3

CROCHET BUTTERFLY IN BRUGES LACE

I am using Bernat Baby Softee Yarn (size 3) with a size 3.75mm crochet hook
You can do it in a thin thread as well

This will look very nice sewn onto a blanket or a pillow

dc = double crochet      *  *  rep what is in between the stars
sc = single crochet        st = stitch
ss = slip stitch               sp = space
ch = chain                      cnr = corner
hdc = half a double crochet
dtr = double treble

2dc tog = wrap yarn around hook, go into stitch, bring up a loop, go thru 2 loops, wrap yarn around hook, go into stitch, go thru 2 loops, go thru all the loops (be sure whether they are done in the same stitch or in the next 2 stitches)

Remember the Numbers on the video correspond to the numbers on the written pattern.

Body of Butterfly

2. 2dc in the next stitch (not the very 1st one), 1dc in next st, 2dc in the next st, 1dc in the chain from the previous round (very last st), ch3, turn work around

3. 1dc in each of the next 5dc, 1dc in the last ch, ch3 turn

4. 1dc in each of the next 6dc, (the last dc in the top ch), ch3, turn work around

5. same as row 4

6. same as row 4

19. ch 20, skip 1, ss in the next 3, 1sc in next, 1hdc, 1dc, 1hdc, 1sc, 11ss to the end, finish work and cut off your yarn

PART 2
BRUGES LACE WINGS

1.  Ch 7, skip 3 ch and 1dc in the next ch, 1dc in the next ch, ch1, skip the next ch and 1dc in the last ch

2.  Ch4, turn work around, 1dc in the very 1st dc, ch1, 1dc in the next dc, 1dc in the last dc

3. Ch4, turn work around, 1dc in the next 2 dc (go into the very 1st dc), ch1, 1dc in the last dc (not in the ch loop)

4.  Repeat row 2 and 3 until you have 10 (ch4) loops on the side where you have the 2dc's  (watch at the number 4 on video)

5.  Finish the row with the 10th ch 4 loop, then
 ch4 turn your work around, 1dc, ch1, 1dc in the next 2 dc,  this will now be your 11th ch 4 loop on the 2dc side, so ch4 and turn and do 2dc in the next 2dc, ch1, 1dc in the last dc,
ch4 turn your work around and 1dc in the 1st dc, ch1, 2dc in the last 2dc, This ch4 loop would have been your 12th loop

6.  With your 2dc side facing each other fold your lace and ss into the opp lace's first stitch (watch video to see where if unsure) and into the last stitch, making a circle with your lace.   Flip your work around and go into the 1st 2dc with 1dc in each, 1ch, 1dc in the last dc, (you should have 11 ch 4 loops on the OUTSIDE) this ch4 is your 12th loop and turn

7.  1dc in the 1st dc, ch1, 1dc in the next 2dc, NO ch4 on this side, instead we are doing a ch3 standing for our 1st dc, turn work around and 1dc in the next dc (2nd one), ch1, 1dc in the last dc, ch4, turn your work around (this being your 13th loop on the outside you have just made)

8.  1dc, ch1, 1dc in each of the next 2dc (the 2nd one is going into the top of the previous ch3 you had made),

13.  same as number 11

14.  same as number 12

15.  Ch2, 1dc in the next loop, ch2, turn your work, 1dc in each of the next 2 dc, ch1, 1dc, WE ARE NOW JOINING ONTO THE BODY, Ch2, join onto body with a sc, ch2, turn your work around, 1dc, ch1, 1dc in each of the next 2dc,

16.  Ch2, 1dtr into the same loop as previous row, ch2, turn work, 1dc in the next 2dc, ch1, 1dc in the next, ch2, 1sc into body, ch2, turn work around, 1dc, ch1, 1dc in each of the next 2dc,

17, ch4, 1dc in each of the next 2dc, ch1, 1dc, ch2, sc into the body, ch2 turn around, 1dc, ch1, 1dc in each of the next 2dc, ch4, turn around, 1dc in each of the next 2dc, 1ch, 1dc in the next,

20. Your 18th loop is now going to be joined, so twist your tape around so that the 18th loop is still on the outside and  we will be joining now onto the 2nd last loop (watch video).  So Ch 2, sc into opp loop, ch2,  1dc, ch1, 1dc in each of the next 2, ch4, turn/flip it over, 1dc in each of the next 2dc, ch1, 1dc,

21. Ch2, sc into the next loop (look at video), ch2, 1dc, ch1, 1sc in each of the next 2 dc, ch2, turn your work around 1sc in each of the next 2sc, ch1, 1dc in the last st,

22. Ch2, join with a sc in the loop that you already joined (the double treble you made) (look at video) ch2, turn, 1dc, ch1, 1sc in the next st, 1ss in the next st, ch2, turn 1sc, 1dc, ch1, 1dc,

23. Ch2, skip the next loop and sc into the next one (joining), ch2, turn, 1dc, ch1, 1dc, 2dc in the last stitch, ch2, turn, 1dc in next st, 1dc in the next st, ch1, 1dc in the next dc, ch1, 1dc in the last dc,

26. Ch3, turn, 1dc in each of the next 2dc, ch2, 1dc in the next dc, ch2, 1dc in the next dc, ch2, 1dc in the last dc, ch2, sc to the opp loop (2nd one), ch2, turn,

27.  1dc, ch2, 1dc, ch2, 1dc, ch2, 1dc in each of the next 2dc, ch3, turn, 1dc in each of the next 2dc, ch1, (1dc ch1 1dc in the same place), ch1, 1dc in the next, ch1, 1dc in the last stitch, ch2, skip 1 loop and sc into the next loop,

28.  Ch2, turn, 1dc in 1st st, ch1, 1dc in the next, ch1, 1dc in next, ch1, 1dc in next, ch1, 1dc in each of the next 2dc,

31. Ch2, skip 1 loop and sc into next loop, ch2 turn, 1dc in 1st dc, skip 1 loop (on RHS) and sc into the next loop, 1dc in the next dc, 1dc in the next dc, 1sc in the next loop, 1dc in next dc, ch1, 1dc in the next, ch1, 1sc in the next loop, ch1, 1sc in the next dc, 1sc in next loop, finish off

Make the other wing the same way, make sure your butterfly's head is facing up and not down when you attach the next wing.
