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.

Sponge Bob Square Bag

 This is a tapestry bag. A simple square bag make using cotton yarn. In order to make the Sponge Bob look realistic,  I follow the color of a poster I found online. I can't remember the name of the blue or the yellow etc. Just use my eyes to see which blue matches the blue in the character.  The tutorial video :  The poster that I got from the internet look like this :  Abbreviation : G = green   W = white   R = red   M = Maroon   Bk = black   B = blue   P = pink   Y = yellow The blue that use on the side and the back panel is of a different blue from the above.  I start with a row of the other blue (a lighter blue). This blue row is a chain of 49. The whole bag is just single crochet. The 2nd row onwards is the Sponge Bob color, as in when to change to which color. The pattern below, my 1) is actually the 2nd row and the color I mention is from right to left, like how we crochet. The num...
