Materials.

A 6 mm crochet hook.

Yarn of preferred colour and size. I used robin chunky acrylic yarn. I used five different colours. My main colour was black and my other colours were blue for the base, rasta colours- red, yellow and green.

A tapestry needle.

A pair of scissors.

A measuring tape.

Stitches used.

Single crochet stitches (sc sts).

Chain stitches (Ch sts).

Variations of the double crochet stitches (dc sts)

The pattern.
The bag is worked in about three to four steps.

Working the base.

This happens to be where my project begins since my duffle bag is worked from the base upwards. The base is worked in circles using single crochet stitches.

Round 1: Using the magic circle technique, work 6 sc inside the magic circle. If you do not know how to use the magic circle, you can make a chain of two stitches then in the first stitch work five more sc stitches to make a total of 6 sc stitches for your first round.

Round 2: Work 2 sc in each st around ; you will have a total of 12 sts for your second row.

Round 3: Work 1 sc then 2 sc stitches in the next st.

*1 sc, 2 sc* repeat this all round.

Round 4: Work 2 sc in the first 2 sts then 2 sc in the next st.

*2 sc, 2 sc in same st* repeat all round.

Round 5: Work 3 sc in the first 3 sts  then 2 sc in the next st.

*3 sc, 2 sc in next stitch* repeat all round.

Round6: Work 4 sc  in the first four stitches then 2 sc in the next st.

*4 sc, 2 sc in next stitch*.

Round 7: Work 5 sc in the first 5 stitches then 2 sc in next st.

So you keep on working your increase until you get a total number of stitches that is divisible by fourteen.

I worked about 21 rounds and had a total of 126 sc stitches in my last round (12 inches for the base) then I worked one row of sc stitches all round normally.

Working the body.

After working the base, you can pretty much continue working the body with any stitch depending on the pattern and the final look that you want to achieve.

I used the chevron pattern which is also called a crochet ripple. It basically looks like an inverted ‘V’ shaped pattern which is achieved by repeating different variations of the same stitch e.g dc, sc or hdc stitches across a row or around.

These variations comprise of increases and decreases at certain intervals across the row. You will notice that the increases  will be creating high points that will look like the peak of a mountain and the decreases will be creating low points that look like valleys.

I used the following variations of dc sts:

Work 3 dc sts with one top then in each of the next 3 stitches work 1 dc, in the next two stitches work 3 dc stitches in each stitch, then in each of the next 3 stitches work 1dc stitch and in the last 3 stitches work 3 dc with one top.

*3 dc with one top, 3 dc in next 3 sts, 3 dc in next, 3 dc in next, 3 dc in next 3 stitches, 3dc with one top* repeat this all round working in the back loops only.

Working in the back loops creates a ribbed pattern. You can change your yarn according to your preference. I worked my bag to a height of about 17 inches then worked one more row to bring all my stitches to the same height.

The row is worked by repeating  *1 hdc, 2 dc in the next, 3 hdc, 4 sc, 2 hdc, 6 dc, 2 hdc, 4 sc*.

Work one row of sc stitches all round. You will then go ahead to work another row where our strainer will go through by working *7 sc, chain 2 then skip a stitch and sc in the next st* repeat this across the row.

Work one final row of sc stitches around in the back loops only. The body of your project is now complete.

The strainer/handles.

The third part is where you put your strainer and the handles for your bag. I decided to use my handles as my strainer too.

To make the strainer/ handles, work a foundation chain of about 260 sts then work one row of dc stitches.

Pass the strainer/ handles through the chain 2 spaces you made and after making sure that the strainer has gone through all the required openings use your tapestry needle to join the two bases of your strainer to where the base of your project joins the body of your project. You now have both the strainer and the handles in place.

Sew in your lining.

This part is optional since you can use your bag without the lining.

Remember to weave in your loose ends.

Thought conditioner.

You can reach your goal, your best dreams can come true , you can get where you want to go only if you know what your goal is. You cannot expect the best if you think aimlessly.

If you want to get somewhere, you must decide definitely where you want to be or what you want to accomplish. Be sure it is the right objective then photograph this objective on your mind and hold it there. Work hard, believe in it and the thought will become so powerful that it will tend to assure success.

Take the best into your mind, nurture it, concentrate on it, emphasize it, visualize it, prayerise it, surround it with faith. Make it your obsession. Expect the best and spiritually creative mind-power aided by God power will produce the best.

#Thepowerofpositivethinking.

Howdy positive thinkers and team Yarnkara, its been a while. I hope that you are safe and positive wherever you are.
Today I will be letting you in on some easy phone case projects that you can make for yourselves or for any special people in your lives as presents.

I found that these phone cases come in handy when you are trying to protect your phone from scratches and they also cushion your phone from hard falls. The phone case allows one to carry their phone around when going for short walks or when going to run a quick errand. They are easy to make and any beginner crocheter can do it with ease.

This project is however a customised project since you have to know the measurement of your phone so that you can make a phone case that will be a perfect fit for your phone. That means that if you are making a phone case for someone else, make sure that you know the exact measurement of  the phone in question.

Materials needed

• Yarn of preferred colour and size.(In my projects I used chunky yarn and fine yarn)
• A crochet hook of required size. (In the projects with chunky yarn, I used a size 6 mm crochet hook and for the ones with fine yarn, I used a size 3.5 mm crochet hook)
• A tape measure.
• A tapestry needle ( To weave in the loose ends and to sew in buttons).
• Buttons (optional).
• A pair of scissors.

Stitches used.

Double crochet stitches (dc sts)

Single crochet stitches ( sc sts)

The pattern.

Round 1: Make a chain of fourteen stitches then dc on the fourth stitch from the hook, you will have 2 dc sts then work ten more dc stitches along the foundation chain, you will have 12 stitches then work 12 more dc sts on the other side of your foundation chain to make a total of 24 dc sts. Slip stitch on the 3rd chain of the chain 3 stitches.

Round 2: Chain 3, dc on the next 23 stitches working on the back loops only.

Round 3-12: Work 24 dc stitches in each round working on back loops only.

Remember that the number of rounds you work for this project completely depends on the size of the phone you are making the sleeve for.

When using different colours of yarn, make sure you maintain a certain pattern when changing colours.

You can add a flower on the front or back depending on your preference.

You can customize your phone case in different ways like for instance you sew on a button , you can add a fastener and some beads, you can even add a flap and pockets.

You can also leave them as plain as they come.

I hope you enjoy working this project, until next time stay positive.

As far as I reach can I grow, as far as I seek can I go, as deep as I look can I see, as much as I dream can I be.

Hallo crocheters and positive thinkers around the world, I hope you had a great weekend and looking forward to a fulfilling and positive week ahead. Today I would like to focus on how to crochet a warm chunky infinity scarf. The pattern used is a repeat of different variations of the double crochet stitch, giving the scarf a wavy look.

I loved this project because it does not only allow you to use different colours of yarn in one project but also tests one’s crochet skills in each and every row you work and the use of chunky yarn makes the scarf to be warm.

Materials needed.

Chunky yarn of preferred colour ( You can use more than one colour of yarn in one project). In all the scarves I made, I used robin chunky yarn.

Crochet hook of preferred size (I used a size 6 crochet hook).

A tapestry needle (To join my ends and weave in the loose ends.)

A pair of scissors.

A measuring tape.

Stitches used.

Double crochet stitch.

Skills needed.

Increasing.

Decreasing.

The pattern.

The foundation chain for this project can be worked in two ways:

• Make a chain of 30 stitches then double crochet on the fourth stitch from your hook and work 26 dc stitches on the rest of the stitches on your foundation chain to make a total of 28 dc sts for your first row.
• Work a chainless base of 28 double crochet stitches to make your first row.

 

I used the chainless base but if you are not familiar with how to work a chainless foundation use the first method above. Make sure you have 28 dc stitches for your first row.

Round 2: Chain 3, turn your work then work 2 dc stitches in the same stitch; work 3 dc stitches in each of the next 3 stitches, in the next 3 stitches work 3 dc stitches with one top, in the next 3 stitches work 3 dc stitches with one top, work 3 dc stitches in each of the next 3 stitches; In the next 2 stitches work 3 dc stitches in each stitch, then work 3 dc stitches in each of the next 3 stitches, in the next 3 stitches work 3 dc stitches with one top, in the next 3 stitches work 3 dc stitches with one top again then work 3 dc stitches in each of the next 3 stitches and on the last stitch work 3 dc stitches in the same stitch.

Round 3: Ch 3 turn,2dc in same stitch, 3dc in next 3sts, 3dc with one top, 3dc with one top, 3dc in next 3sts, 3 dc in same stitch, 3 dc in same stitch, 3 dc in next 3 sts, 3 dc with one top, 3 dc with one top, 3 dc in next 3 sts , 3 dc in last st.

As you may have noticed, this project is worked by repeating round 2 until you reach a height that works for you. The infinity scarf is supposed to go round your neck twice  it could be longer  , so you are to crochet until you get to a height that suits you.

In case you are using different colours of yarn, you are to crochet for a number of rows then change your yarn and keep crocheting again for the same number of rows then change your yarn. This will ensure that you maintain uniformity in the pattern.

If you decide to use one colour of yarn, you will only add yarn to your project when your first / second ball of yarn is finished .

You may also have noticed that the increases and decreases in this project are worked along each row of the project.

For round 4  and all the other rounds: Ch3 turn, 2 dc in same st, 3 dc in next 3 sts, 3dc with one top twice, 3 dc in next 3 sts, 3 dc in same st twice, 3 dc in next 3 sts, 3 dc with one top twice, 3 dc in next 3 sts, 3 dc in last st.

All rows should have a total of 28 stitches.

Once you reach the required height use your tapestry needle to join the ends of your scarf and then weave in your loose ends.

Hey #teampositivity, I hope you are having a great day wherever you are. I am sending you positive vibes to keep you grounded.

Its been a cold month and I saw it fit to give you the pattern of the infinity cowl so that you can make yourselves some cowls to keep you warm and stylish during the cold season. The infinity cowl forms an infinite kind of loop and as such allows you to wear it in a number of different styles.Its also light and small enough to be carried in one’s handbag and can be worn by both males and females. It can be made in a variety of colours to suit one’s preference.

The infinity cowl project is an easy one as long as you are familiar with the types of stitches to use in this project. In case you are having trouble understanding the pattern, feel free to refer to my previous articles on crochet stitches. So, let’s get started:

Materials needed:

Yarn of preferred colour and size (I used robin chunky yarn).

A crochet hook of preferred size to go with the yarn (I used a size 5 crochet hook).

Tapestry needle ( To weave in your loose ends).

A pair of scissors.

Stiches used:

Chain stitches (Ch sts)

Single crochet stitches (Sc sts)

Double crochet stitches (Dc sts)

Front post double crochet stitches (FPdc sts)

Back post double crochet stitches (BPdc sts)

Skill level:

Intermediate crocheters.

The pattern.

Make a slip knot.

Make a chain of 130 stitches for your foundation chain, slip stitch on the first stitch you made to make a continuous loop. You have now joined your foundation chain.

Round 1: Chain 1, work 1sc in the same stitch to make the first stitch of your first row, then work 1 sc stitches in each of the next 129 stitches.You will have a total of 130 sc stitches.

Instead of ending that round by slip stitching into the first sc stitch,you turn your work upside down so that the side you just worked is facing down and the unworked part of your foundation chain is now facing you.

With your crochet hook on the other side, work 1 sc stitch on the stitch that is now facing you, which will be directly above your first stitch on the other side; then continue working 129 more single crochet stitches in each of the next 129 stitches.

Note: You will have to work on both sides of the foundation chain so that you can create the infinity pattern.That means that when working on this project, you should keep in mind that one complete round is made of 260 stitches, meaning that you have to work 130 stitches on the top of your foundation chain and another 130 stitches  on the bottom before slip stitching to end the row.

The last sc stitch you make will lead you right back to the top of the foundation chain where you made your first single crochet, then you slip stitch.

Round 2: Chain 3, work 1dc stitches on the back loops of the single crochet stitches that you made for your first round. You should have a total of 260 dc sts for your second round. Slip stitch on the 3rd stitch of the chain 3 stitch.

Round 3: This is where you start working your front post and back post double crochet stitches to give you the ribbing effect.

Chain 3, work 1 FPdc then 1 BPdc .

Ch3,FPdc,BPdc,*FPdc,BPdc* .

Repeat from *to* around.Slip stitch on the 3rd stitch of the ch3 st.

Remember, one complete row consists of 260 stitches, which means that for each row you should work 260 stitches of FPdc and BPdc stitches.

Round 4-10:  Chain 3 , FPdc,BPdc, *FPdc,BPdc*.

Repeat from *to * around.

If you make one of these please feel free to tag me a picture on any of my social media pages. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and have fun doing it.God bless.

Hey readers, happy new month.I am hoping that this new month will be full of bliss,peace,positivity and breakthroughs. I made myself some indoor shoes to help me keep warm and I found out that these shoes are convenient,comfy and the warmth is just amazing.So I’ve decided to give you guys the pattern I used so that you can make yourselves some pretty indoor shoes.One thing about this project though is that it varies depending on one’s shoe size.I am a size six,so the pattern is for my shoe size,so when you work on your project make sure you alter the foundation chain to suit your shoe size.

Materials needed:

Yarn of preferred size and colour.

A crochet hook .(I used a size 4.5 hook).

Stitch markers. (You can use yarn of contrasting colour)

A pair of scissors.

A tapestry needle.

Stitches used:

Double crochet stitches (dc sts).

Single crochet stitches. (Sc sts)

Slip stitches. (Sl sts).

Techniques used:

Increases.

Decreases.

Binding off.

The pattern.

Make a foundation chain of 29 stitches.Double crochet on the fourth chain from the hook; you will have your first two stitches.Work 24dc stitches on the next stitches then on your 25th stitch, work 7 dc stitches (our first increase).

Work 25 dc stitches until you get to the stitch below your first stitch and work 4 dc stitches in that stitches (second increase).Slip stitch on the third stitch of the chain 3 stitch.

Round 1: Chain 3,skip your next stitch ,work 25 dc stitches on the next stitches  and on your 27th stitch(where you did your first increases) and work 2dc stitches in each of the 7 stitches; work 25 dc st in your next stitches and when you get to where you did your second increase,work  2dc stitches in each of the four stitches.Slip stitch on the 3rd stitch of the chain 3 stitch.

Round 2: Chain 3,work 1dc in the same stitch,skip the next stitch then work dc stitches along your row and when you get to your 1st increase,  work 1dc stitches on the next 7 stitches, on the next 5 stitches work 2 dc stitches in each stitch then work 1dc stitches in each of the next stitches until you remain with 3 stitches then work 2dc stitches in each of those 3 stitches.Slip stitch on the 3rd stitch of the chain 3 stitch.

The base of your shoes is now done.Remember to make two of these for both of your shoes.

Round 3: Work 1 dc stitches around your sole,working on the back loops only.This separates the base from the rest of the shoe.

Round 4: Work 1dc stitches in each of the stitches around this time working in your stitches normally.

Now,let’s start our decrease.

Fold the fabric into two then divide your stitches into more than half of your stitches.My *more than half* was 58 stitches.

Place your first stitch marker on the 1st stitch and on the 58th stitch.Make sure your stitches are equal on both sides of your shoe.

From where your chain 3 stitch is,work 1 dc stitches until you get to your first stitch marker then start your decrease. Work 2dc stitches with one top until you get to where your second stitch marker is  then complete the rest of the row with 1 dc stitches in each of the remaining stitches.

Work 1dc stitches in each stitch around.

Binding off.

You either slip stitch in each stitch around or work 1 sc stitches in each stitch around.

I altered the pattern and made a pair of boots too.Hope you enjoy this project and have fun making your indoor shoes.Until next week, stay blessed.

I’ve learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable but believing in your talents, your abilities and your self worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path.Transforming fear into freedom, how great is that?

#The Power of positive thinking.

Hallo guys how is your day coming along? I hope you are positive about life wherever you are. I would like to thank all who have been supporting me so far, am truly greatful. Please follow my blog for more to come, I have alot of amazing stuff on the way.

Today I would like to wind up on crocheting stitches by doing an article on how to crochet in circles for instance like when crocheting a tam, a beret hat, a beanie and even some types of bags.I will also give an insight on the importance of following a crochet pattern or stitch diagrams. Lets get started :

Working in circles 

When  working on a project that requires you to work in rounds or in circles, it is required of you to create a center ring. The center ring works as the foundation row for all projects worked in circles.

The center ring is created by working several chain stitches which are then joined together by slip stitching the last chain on your hook to first chain stitch you made.

Working stitches in the ring 

1. Chain six stitches (ch 6)
2. Insert your hook into the first chain stitch you made to form a ring.
3. Yarn over and pull the yarn through the stitch and through the loop on your hook and you will be left with one stitch on your hook. (sl st)
4. After making the center ring you will be ready to work the first round. Crochet your turning chain so as to bring your hook upto the proper level to allow you work the next round of stitches. (rem, the number of stitches on your turning chain depends on the stitch you are working on. Refer to article on :crocheting:the stitches)make your turning chain, lets say you are using the double crochet stitches, after the turning chain continue working double crochet stitches around following the pattern you are using for your project. 

In the case of the tam above;

I worked a chain of six stitches, slip stitched, made a turning chain of three and worked eleven more stitches inside the ring to make a total of twelve stitches. 

The second round is worked by putting two double crochet stitches in each stitch that we made on our first round. This is an increase round. 

In the case of the pink beret hat with hearts below;

I made a chain of eight stitches, slip stitched, made a turning chain of three and worked twenty three more stitches inside the ring to make a total of twenty four stitches for your first round.

From there on I followed the pattern I was using for my project (written instructions will be available next week on the tam and Beret hat with hearts projects).

Keep in mind that :

The number of stitches in the beginning chain determines the size of the hole that the center ring creates as well as how many stitches you can work into the center ring.

Make sure the ring is large enough to accommodate the number of stitches that you will be working in it.

On the other hand make sure it’s not so long that you have a big loose hole in the center.

When you are working on a pattern, it tells you how many stitches you need for the proper size center ring.

CROCHET PATTERNS. 

Crochet patterns can be downloaded, can come with certain yarn or can be written by any crocheter.

Crochet patterns require one to know and understand the crochet terms and abbreviations. You should be familiar with stitch abbreviations and be able to interpret them. This is because crochet patterns are written in abbreviations to save space and time.

The pattern will tell you the number of stitches to work for the beginning chain, where you need to increase or decrease, where to make the turning chain and whether to turn or not among others.

Make sure you follow the pattern to the latter.

Following a stitch diagram in crochet :

Requires one to understand and be able to interpret the symbols and abbreviations of crochet.

The diagram usually shows only a few rows to avoid repetition and also to save time and space.

The pattern tells you how many rows you should make to complete your project.

• When working in rows, the right side row number is placed on the right hand side of the diagram,  meaning you work from the right side to the left side. On the wrong side rows the number is on the left hand side so you follow the diagram from left to right.
• When working in rounds you read the diagram counterclockwise, without turning between rows unless the instructions specifically instructs you to.
• Stitch diagrams are generally laid out from the right handed crocheter’s point of view, but left handed crocheters can read them just as well, if they reverse the direction of the pattern and work from left to right instead of right to left. So a left handed crocheter when working in rounds still follows the pattern counterclockwise, but works the piece clockwise, thus reversing the direction of the pattern. 

 

Until next week God bless.
