Classy, Black And White, Houndstooth Dinner Bag

You can call this an arm bag or a dinner bag. I used black and white nylon yarn and a 4.5 mm hook. I also use plastic canvas and linen inside the bag and a zip on top.

The tutorial video :

I did a front panel, a back panel, 2 rows for the zip and 2 bag strap.

Front And Back Panel (both same size)

For houndstooth stitch, you need odd numbers. For the foundation chain, I did 31 stitch. I work on the bump side of the foundation chain. Start from the 2nd stitch from hook, do a single crochet. Next, do a double crochet. Next do a single crochet follow by a double crochet. Repeat the same until end of the row.

At the end of the row, change color when we yarn over the double crochet. Refer to video tutorial. Chain 1, turn the work and continue the above single crochet follow by double crochet, and repeat until the end of the row. Bring the 1st color along when you crochet.

Start every row with a single crochet and end every row with a double crochet. Make sure every single crochet is above the previous double crochet and every double crochet is above the previous rows' single crochet.

Continue until you have the length that you want. Cut the plastic canvas, slightly smaller than the front and back panel. Cut the linen too, same size as the plastic canvas. I used needle and sewing thread to fasten the plastic canvas onto the front panel, and do the same on the back panel. I cover the plastic canvas with a cloth linen. I sew the linen onto the panel with a needle and sewing thread.

Zip

Make 2 rows of houndstooth stitch, with the same number of foundation chain as the front and back panel, in my case is chain 31. Add 1 more row of single crochet. Make 2 of these strap. Sew it on the zip, the single crochet part to the zip, with a needle a thread. Then use the same type of nylon yarn and sew the zip to the front and back panel with a tapestry needle.

Bag Strap

I did chain 7 for the foundation chain. Build the houndstooth pattern until the length that you want. I sew the bag strap all around the front and back panel using the same nylon yarn and a tapestry needle. Refer to tutorial video.

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. Do remember to subscribe to my Youtube channel and follow me on Facebook , Shopee , Tiktok and Instagram . Thank you for your support.

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,
