Oh gosh!  How long has it been since I promised to share this pattern??  Too long, I apologize…really.  I made this pattern about 5 years ago after falling in love with a knitted apple cozy during the apple cozy craze of 2007.  I didn’t know how to knit at the time and had to have one.  Then I offered the pattern right before my trip to NYC a few years ago in this blog post and lost the pattern in yet another laptop disaster so I know there are about a dozen people who might still be waiting to receive it.

I’m not sure why I didn’t just post the pattern here.  It would have saved it somewhere that can not be lost as easy as in a laptop.  It took me a week of looking at my picture and writing and rewriting but I think it looks just like the ones I made the last time.  I also like the cotton yarn I am using now instead.  Super soft, Picoboo yarn from Frog Tree.  I hope you have fun making some (if you fancy apple cozies), they make great little last minute lovelies.  You can make one in a lickety split which to me is about 30 minutes.

If you make one, I would love to see it so send me a picture would ya?

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.
