A Simple Long Sleeve Long Cardigan

 This is a very simple cardigan. Even a beginner is able to follow the tutorial video and make one for themselves. I used cotton yarn and a 5 mm hook. It is just double crochet and single crochet.


The tutorial video :  



This pattern is very simple. Start with a foundation chain. The length is up to you. I start from the back panel, the width, and work my way up. It has to be in a multiple of 2 and at the end of the row, add 4 more stitch to the chain. Turn back and do a double crochet on the bump side of the 6th stitch from the hook. I work on all the bump side on the foundation chain. After the double crochet, chain 1, skip 1 and do a double crochet in the next stitch. Repeat until the end of the row. 

When you reach the end of the row, chain 3, turn the work and do a double crochet on top of the previous double crochet. Again repeat the above, that is chain 1, skip 1 and do a double crochet. I did this for 10 row. 

The following rows, instead of chain 1, skip 1, I randomly fill up the chain 1 space with a double crochet. Which means, after a double crochet, there is no chain, just do another double crochet into the chain 1 space. Another double crochet on top of the next double crochet. Refer to video for better understanding.

The back panel, once I reach the length that I want, I continue with the front panel. The back and front panel is 1 piece. The is no sewing on the shoulder part. The sleeves, I did separately. I work on the length onwards and not the width of the sleeves. 

I joint the side of the back panel to the front panel with a single crochet. Same goes for the sleeves. At the end of the sleeves and also all around the edge of the cardigan, I did single crochet all around for 1 row. The next few rows (up to you how wide you want it to be) I did single crochet only on the back loop.

Peony Flower

 This is a big flower compare to the other crochet flowers. You will need cotton yarn, wire and some flower making green tape. I also added a chop stick, or you can use any wood or metal, to hold the flower as it is quite heavy with so many petals and wire. I used 3 different colors for the whole flower. The tutorial video :   The Core Part (use yellow yarn) 1) Chain 9, do 3 single crochet (sc) in the 2nd stitch from the hook, sc in the next, slip stitch (ss) until the end, which you will have 6 ss all in. Chain 9 and repeat the whole thing, all in 8 sets. 2) Chain 10, 3 sc in the 2nd stitch from hook. Sc in the next and ss in the following stitches until the end of the chain, all in 7 ss. Make 9 sets. 3) Chain 11, 3 sc in the 2nd stitch from the hook. Sc in the next and ss in the following stitches until the end of the chain, all in 8 ss. Make 10 sets. 4) Chain 1, do sc on the next 27 stitches on the base. 5) Chain 1, turn the work, [sc in the next 2, do a 2 together (dec)] - 6 sets,

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.

Crochet Mooncake

This is my second crochet mooncake. This pattern is different from my first crochet mooncake. I made two version. One with lace yarn and a 2 mm hook and another with cotton yarn and a 3 mm hook. The lace yarn mooncake is smaller than the cotton yarn mooncake due to the size of the yarn and hook yet both are equally lovely and look quite like the real thing. The tutorial video :  Mooncake (make 2 - top piece and bottom piece) 1) Start with a magic ring. Make 8 single crochet (sc) into the ring     [total 8] 2) Make 2 sc into each stitch (inc)     [total 16] 3) (Sc, inc) - 8X only on the back loop     [total 24] - If bottom piece, no need back loop only 4) (Sc, inc, sc) - 8X     [total 37] 5) (Sc next 3, inc) - 8X  only on the back loop     [total 40] - If bottom piece, no need back loop only 6) (Sc next 2, inc, sc next 2) - 8X     [total 48] 7) (Sc, half double crochet (hdc) next 2, 2 double crochet (dc) in the same stitch, hdc next 2, sc, slip stitch) - 6X After complete the top piece,
