Auntie Nat's Crochet (Free Crochet Pattern)

 This is a simple bag in checker pattern made using Tunisian stitch. I made two type. One with a flat flap and the other a 'v' pointed flap. Both using 2 different colour nylon thread of 1.5 mm and a hook of of 3 mm. You can customized your own checker bag so long you understand the basic of making one box. Like puzzle, you connect those boxes to form a bag of your choice. The tutorial video : Each small box you will need 11 stitches as the foundation chain. Once you have decide how many boxes you need, use multiple of 11 and plus 1 stitch for your foundation chain. The smaller bag as per the video, I did 4 boxes on the first row so I did 4 times 11 which is 44 stitches plus 1 stitch, so all in, I did 45 stitches on my foundation chain. Insert hook into the 2nd chain from hook, yarn over and pull a loop through leaving it on the hook and continue to do the same on the next 5 chain, in which all in, you will get 7 chain on your hook but we put through 6 chain. Now yarn over, pul...

 Since Mother's Day is just around the corner, I thought why not crochet some flowers. This carnation is make using 5 ply yarn and 2.5 mm hook. It is very easy to make and I choose not to use glue or wire. Glue sometime can be messy if we are not careful. You can still glue the sepal on to the flower, if you wish. And if you are going to add wire, make sure you add the wire first before apply glue. Here is the tutorial video : Flower. 1) make a magic ring, chain (ch) 3, double crochet (dc) 15 into the ring and joint with slip stitch. 2) ch 3, 2 dc in each stitch for the next 15 stitches and joint with a slip stitch. 3) ch4, 3 triple crochet in each stitch and joint with a slip stitch. 4) ch4, joint to the next stitch with a slip stitch, continue the pattern till the end. 5) put thru a separate yarn onto the 2nd row, with a needle, sew it loosely between 2 dc on the 2nd row and later pull tight to form the flower.  Sepal. 1) make a magic ring, ch1, 6 sc and end with a slip stit...
