Valentines Crochet Patterns

1/23/2019

0 Comments

 

Give the gift of love through time and talent this year!

Valentines Day is quickly approaching and and I have a fun idea for you.
Wouldn't it be great to give your loved ones a super sweet gift this year that will last?  What if we crocheted something that they could keep longer than candy and flowers (hey, and they won't complain about to many sweets = weight gain and dentist trips).

You know you have yarn in your stash to use up!  You know you're going to be picking up that hook soon if it's not already in your hand.  So why not let Valentines day mean more than just 1 day of "I Love You's"?  Why not let that thought carry one for a while with your crochet work? 

I've pulled together some fun Valentines crochet patterns for you to enjoy and hopefully friends and family will too.

First up is the Heartfelt Scarf crochet pattern

Popcorn Crochet Stitch Video Tutorial

1/22/2019

0 Comments

 
The Popcorn crochet stitch is a fun collection of stitches which create a puffy texture in projects.  Some Popcorn stitches use hdc while others use dc.  This video tutorial is for the stitch placement of the popcorn stitch as it is worked in the Cabled Blooms Blanket crochet pattern.  It uses post stitches before and after the Popcorn which are not actually part of the Popcorn.  Be sure to follow the specific pattern as it may vary from this tutorial.

Sometimes it's fun to have a crochet cable texture that is quick and easy to work.  The Stand Out Cable crochet stitch is just that!  This stitch creates a rope-like look on crochet projects without the fuss of crossing a bunch of stitches.  
The Stand Out Cable stitch is used in the Stand Out Cable Chevron Afghan crochet pattern and also the Cabled Blooms Blanket crochet pattern.
Video tutorials below show the basic stitch placement for this stitch.  When using the stitch, be sure to read the individual crochet patterns carefully for possible adjustments.

Standing hdc video tutorial by Crafting Friends Designs
If you've ever looked at the gaps in crochet projects that are created by turning chains and wished you could fix them, this stitch is for you!
standing stitches are a great way to start rows. They are thicker and sturdier than your basic turning chains and honestly, they are quite easy to work.

    Hey there!  Thank you for joining my blog here at Crafting Friends Designs. Grab your hook, some yarn and get comfy as we crochet some fun, unique and beautiful projects together.  
    I'm Kate and crochet is my passion.  I've been crocheting for 30+ years and as you can see from the selection of designs on my site, blankets are my obsession.  I absolutely love creating something that will wrap my love around friends and family when they're in need of comfort. 
    Having 4 beautiful girls of my own has also inspired many infant, toddler and child size dresses.  They are my biggest cheerleaders and have enjoyed wearing the things I've made them.
