Primrose Stitch And Polish Star Stitch Blouse

 The multicolor part of the blouse is primrose stitch and the middle part is polish star stitch. It is just a simple t shirt like blouse. I used bamboo yarn and a 3 mm hook.


The tutorial video :  



The Primrose Stitch Part

It is in a multiple of 3. I am doing it in a round. Measure your body and see how wide you want it to be. I did 240 stitches on the foundation chain. Make a foundation chain of the length that you want. Do not connect the chain yet. Add 2 more stitches and turn your work. Single crochet on the 3rd chain from hook. Chain 2 and do a single crochet into the same stitch. Skip 2 and repeat. Do this until the end of the row and joint up to make it in a round. 

Row 2, do 3 double crochet into the chain 2 space. Do another 3 double crochet in the next chain 2 space and repeat until the end. I am going in a round and not going to slip stitch. Once at the end of the row, do a single crochet on top of the previous 2nd double crochet, chain 2 and again single crochet into the same stich. Repeat the same on the next. Technically it is still single crochet, chain 2, single crochet and skip 2 like the above. 

Repeat row 1 and 2 until you come to the length that you want. 


The Polish Star Stitch

It is in a multiple of 8. So if the above you didn't get it in a multiple of 8, do a row of single crochet and do some increase or decrease to get the number. I am doing it in a round. Do double crochet in the next 4 stitches, chain 10, and do double crochet in the next 4 and repeat until the end. 

Row 2, change color, do a double crochet increase on top of the 1st double crochet of the previous row. Then do double crochet on the next 2. Do a double crochet increase on top of the 4th double crochet of the previous row. Chain 10. Do a double crochet on the middle 2 double crochet of the previous row. Next set, repeat the above to make 6 double crochet sitting above the previous 4 double crochet follow by 2 double crochet above the 4 double crochet of the previous row. Refer to tutorial video for better understanding. 

Row 3, repeat row 1. above the 6 double crochet do only 4 double crochet, that is, skip the first and last double crochet. The next set, on top of the 2 double crochet, do double crochet increase on top of each double crochet and will get 4 double crochet. 

After a few rows of  Polish Star stitch, I change color and switch back to Primrose stitch. About 3/4 way I add a few stitches on the side for the sleeves and no longer work in a round. Refer to part 2 of video.

Tiny Top Hat

 This Top Hat is tiny enough for my amigurumi. Preferable black in color but for tutorial video sake, I did a brown one too. I used cotton yarn and a 3 mm hook. It is very easy to make.  The tutorial video : Top Hat 1) Magic ring with 6 single crochet (sc) into ring [total 6] 2) 2 sc in each, all around [total 12] 3) (Sc in next 3, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat all around [total 15] 4) Sc all around (only on back loop) [total 15] 5) - 8) Sc all around [total 15] 9) 2 sc in each stitch, all around the front loop only [total 30] You can cut yarn now, either you leave a long tail for sewing or weave in the tail.  Hope you make lovely hats for your amigurumi.
