Crochet flower face scrubby ( pattern )

By on June 12, 2011 in crochet, pattern

Todays project is from a few years ago and I came across the picture Alex took in old picture files so here it is.  This is a super easy little project which started out as something completely different.  I had hoped to crochet about a hundred of these little flowers to put together as a bed spread for the girls room…maybe someday.  As a face scrubby they work up in about 5 to 10 minutes and work really nice to replace disposable paper or cotton alternatives.

Hook size H or I
Worsted weight cotton yarn

With the center color yarn make a magic ring (google it and you will find a bunch of tutorials.  Once you know how to do this you can use it for so many crochet projects)

Round 1: Chain 3 (does not count as a double crochet) crochet 20 dc in ring, slip stitch to first dc to join.

Round 2: switch to yarn color for petals, Chain 1, 1 sc in each st around, join to first sc.

Round 3: Chain 1, sc in same stitch. *skip next stitch, 7 dc in next stitch, skip next stitch, sc in next stitch* repeat between * and * 4 more times, 5 petals total. Join to first sc, weave in ends.


These make really cute hair jewelry and I have always wanted to add them as pockets to a baby’s dress.

Handmade Easter Craft along – Day one: Crochet Chick Easter basket Free pattern

By on April 11, 2011 in crochet, Handmade, Handmade Easter Craft along

Hey everyone!  So excited to get started with this craft along and I am so happy to share it with YOU.  Warning: If you start making your children handmade things, they WILL love them and you WILL have to make more stuff in the future : )  My baby walks around saying “Momma make it?” to everything you can think of.  In her world, everything we own is made by her momma (not but cute thought).

Today’s craft along is a cute Easter basket designed by me.  This is a very easy pattern to follow for beginners, it does not take long to finish and you will get the satisfaction of a cute, finished project. (yes I am saying that my pattern is cute!  I am its momma and all mommas think their babies are cute!)

 I have been working finishing the pattern all day and hope to have it done by tonight sometime.

 You can get your free copy of the pattern to craft along with me by leaving a comment and sending me an email so I have your email address.  You must be a follower to get a copy.  You can find my email at the top right hand corner of my blog.  This pattern will only be available for free to my bloggy friends for the next two weeks.  After that you can find it in my Etsy store.

Remember to send me a picture if you make one and post to your blog so others can craft along.  My button did not get done today so I am hoping for tomorrow.
