 If you are new to crochet and wish to start, try this out. This head band is made entirely on single crochet. You can use any hook size and any type of yarn but I would recommend that you use cotton yarn for a start as it is soft and easy to work with.  The tutorial video : Start by making the width of the head band. For children, start with a foundation chain of 10 stitches and adult, 15 stitches. You can make more if you wish. Chain 1 more and turn your work. Make 1 single crochet on the 2nd stitch from hook on the foundation chain. Continue to single crochet on all the stitch on the foundation chain. When reach the end, chain 1 and turn your work and continue to do single crochet all around.  Once you have your desire length, you can sew the end together like how I did in the tutorial video. Just for guide, the length of the band for young children is 11 inches to 17 inches. For toddler is around 18 to 19 inches and adults normally around 22 inches.  You can measure your head circu

 This succulent plants are easy to make. I also did a round ball to sew the plants to, so that I can place it in any pots or it can just stand on it's own. You can customized the size of the plant by making more foundation chain at the start.  The tutorial video :  I used a 4mm hook. You can chain 21 (can't make any shorter than this) or 41 or 51 as the foundation chain. You can make more than that but I prefer the plant to be small.  1) single crochet (sc) on the 2nd stitch from hook, chain 2 (ch 2), skip 1, sc, ch 2, skip 1, sc, ch 2 - repeat till the end.  2) ch 2, turn the work, 2 double crochet (dc), in the chain space, ch 2, 2 dc in the same chain space, slip stitch - this makes 1 petal 3) ch 1, and 2 dc in the next chain space, ch 2, 2 dc in the same chain space, slip stitch - continue in the same manner for about three quarter  4) The balance quarter of the foundation chain, half of it we are going to do the same manner as above but using half double crochet instead. 5)

Continue in this manner until you come to your desire width and height. Chain 10 or more at the 3sc spot and joint back in the next sti

 These sheep are just so cute. It would make a fun stress ball. Made these with 5 ply cotton yarn and a 3.5mm hook. You would need stuffing, and safety eyes and nose. You can also sew the eyes and nose, if you do not have safety eyes and nose. Will need more yarn for this project because you need 6 double crochet to make one popcorn stitch.  The tutorial video : The body 1) make a magic ring, 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring (total 6) 2) chain 3, make 6 double crochet (dc) in one stitch, remove hook and place hook on the 5th loop of the dc and hook it to the chain that we removed and yarn over and pull thru all to make one popcorn.
