Another Amigurumi doll

Another amigurumi doll, though it didnot turn out as I expected. Well always trial and error

Its quite sometime I did some interesting projects. First it was Abhi's exams. After that we started our home maintenance. Now I have to do after everything is sorted out.

Coin purse

I made this for my friend's daughter.


Materials
Pink colour wool
contrast colour wool
White/Red beads

Method
The basic principle is = Total No of Dc / no of dc in a grp = no of sides
For eg. 15 dc in the basic chain ring of 6. 2nd row make groups of 3 dc then you will get 5 sides as you work along, which will give a pentagonal shape.
Between each group of 3 dc, work one chain
Next work on the one chain spaces.
The last row can be completed with dc in ch.

Work the pentagonal motif to the required size. Make 2 pieces and then join the sides with slip stiches or single crochets. If required, work a triangular flap using dc. Work a chain of required length from one end and fasten off at the other side. Attach a velcrove piece to the flap. Attach beads to decorate the cute purse.

Happy crocheting!

Crocheted Cushion cover

Materials needed

Wool - 2 colours

Wooden beads or velcrove

Method

Make crocheted granny square motifs - starting with six ch ring and changing to a square motif. Make as many motifs as required for the size of the cover. For example, I have made a cover of size 4X4 motifs. So I had to make 32 motifs. Join the motifs by using a tapestry needle or by threading with crochet needle. I have joined the sides with single crochet stitches and 2 loops have been provided for the buttons. Finally attach the buttons.

Happy crocheting

Amigurumi - Backtoschool Bunny

By now I am very fascinated with making Amigurumi dolls. I made this Bunny for my friend's daughter, who is Abhi's friend.

I used pink beads on the red wool body. and a small bag says it all...!!!!

Another Crocheted sachet

Materials needed

Scrap wool yarn - any colour

plastic flowers, leaves etc

You can also use these sachets for keeping flowerdust, camphor etc in ward drobes, cupboards etc.

Method:

foundation chains for the required width.

row 2 onwards : 3 dc, 3 ch, repeated for the entire length

next row: 3dc in the 3 ch sp, 3 ch over the 3 dc of prev row, continue.

Work as many rows to get double the height required. Fold and join 2 sides with sc. Work a long chain to form a loop to hang.

Use the scrap yarn to create small cute things to decorate your home.

There is no limit for creativity!

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 –

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!

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.

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.
