crocheted sachet

Scraps of yarn have been recycled into a crocheted sachet!

Crocheted Soap saver

The idea I got from Crochet Pattern central. It was very useful for Abhi to use soap for bathing himself. With this there are two advantages for him. One is the ample lather you get. Another is now he got a good grip on the soap which was difficult otherwise, especially to use his right hand fingers.

Method

Start with as many chains depending on the width required for your soap saver. Then do (Ch3, skip one ch, slst in nxtch), repeat for the whole line. Continue this for double the length of the height required to keep the soap. Fold it and join the sides with single crochets. Thread a drawstring for closing.

Look for other ways to use small amount of scrap wool –

Recycle plastic bags!!!

Recently while browsing for crochet patterns I stumbled upon recyclying the plastic grocery bags. What an Idea! My next project has to be one of this.
Few sites I got

Want to reuse pieces of wool? Make your own Floral/perfumed sachets!


Here is one best way to recycle bits & pieces (long enough ones) into a usable item.

Start with a basic foundation chain of 20 or 25 ch, depending on the length required. I have used double crochets with a chain in between to create the sides.
You have to stitch double the length of the required height. Once done fold it and stitch the 2 sides with single crochets or slip stitches. With out cutting off extend a chain and loop it in the corner to make a loop for hanging. You can also make a long chain and thread it through one of the top rows for a draw string.

Use this for keeping the camphor balls or floral scents inside your wardrobe. When using naphthalene balls or odonil, refreshners etc you can hang it out of reach for children.

There is no limit for creativity. Explore from within.

Cute Baby booties

I got the basic pattern of how to make a baby bootie from the crochet patterncentral patterns.

I have altered to get the height above the feet. The last row is done in contrast colour of red to match the baby cap. Thin red satin ribbon is used for the drawstring. I didn't get small satin flowers, so I used hand made satin flowers.

Crocheted baby girls cap

My cousin sister recently got a baby girl. She is the first baby girl in our family.
I made a baby cap, pair of booties and a bottle holder in baby pink wool. The perfect gift.
For the cap, I have made frills at the end, by working 2 rows of 3 dc in each space. The last row I have worked in a contrast colour (red). I got a satin rose with leaf from the craft shop and have attached it to the front.

This is what I like....... There is no end for imagination. Each time you you come out with a new creation!

Happy crocheting!

Crocheted girl cap

My close friend got me the yarn when she returned after a visit from U.S. How nice of her to think about my interest. The best gift I could think of was a hand made crocheted cap for her.

I have altered the stitches so that broad frills are created in the end. I have also decorated the cap with white pearls and a hand made satin flower.

Crocheted baby cap

Baby caps are very easy to crochet. Start with a 6 ch ring. Continue working the doubles in rounds. In between I have worked trebles to give a simple design. I have decorated with small crocheted flowers using shiny threads.

Table mat - pot holder

This table mat I have done using circles of double crochets. For making it thick, so that hot pots can be placed on it, I have done the dc, over a long chord, covering it with the stitches.

To maintain the flatness, the trick is, for 2nd row, work 2 dc in every 2nd ch sp, for 3 row, work 2 dc on every 3rd ch sp and so on..

For last row curves - work half dc, dc, half treble, treble, 4-loops, treble, half treble, dc, half dc (one curve completed) - repeat.
