A Stunning Sweet Lace Flower Poncho / Summer Top

 This is actually a combination of many flowers combined together to form this lovely poncho. You can also use this same method to create a table runner or a blanket throw. The written pattern below is for one flower. I connect flower to flower by the tip of the petal.  The tutorial video :  Flower Core (yellow) 1) Start by making a magic ring. Chain 1, make 8 single crochet (sc) into the ring and joint with a slip stitch. 2) Slip stitch into the next front loop. Chain 3 and make a picot (slip stitch to the same part where we slip stitch). Repeat until you have 8 picot. The last picot, chain 1, pull tight and cut yarn.  Flower Petal (white or pink or any color that you prefer) 1) Now work on the back loop. (The balance back loop from the above picot). Make a knot and chain 13 into the back loop. Start to work from the 2nd stitch from hook, do a single crochet. A half double crochet in the next stitch, double crochet in the next, treble in the next 5, half double crochet in the next, si

A Simple Pouch With 2 Compartment

 This is a simple pouch with 2 compartment, made using t-shirt yarn and a 6 mm hook. I added a zip on the top. I made one to match my ribbed bag / shell bag (from my previous post). I start by making a foundation chain of 16 stitches. The length and width is up to you. Starting from the 2nd chain from hook I did single crochet all the way till the end. Chain 1, turn the work. From here on, work only on the back loop. Do single crochet until the end. Repeat until you have the length that you want. Fold it in two but make sure one side is shorter than the other. At the part where we fold ( the shorter side ) start to crochet the same pattern until it is the same length as the longer side. Use a tapestry needle and sew both sides, sew a zip on top and we have a pouch. For better understanding, refer to the tutorial video below.  The tutorial video :   Hope you like this lovely yet simple pouch pattern. You can get it done in just a few hours.

Ribbed Bag / Shell Bag

 Some called it ribbed bag some, shell bag. You can customize one. I used multi color t-shirt yarn and a 6 mm hook. Besides t-shirt yarn, you can use nylon yarn or ribbon yarn or maybe cotton yarn too. This time round I used a plastic bag handle instead. The tutorial video :  1) I started with a chain 24. You can start with a lesser or more chain to make the bag bigger or smaller. Next step, do single crochet (sc) until the end of the row in which I have 23 stitches.  [total 23] 2) Chain (ch) 1, turn the work. From now on work only on the back loop.
