Melanie Ham’s Bobble Stitch Toque Pattern

July 1, 2017July 2, 2017 Jessica2 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Happy Canada Day! I recently got a new desktop computer and am so impressed with the speed of it! Now I can do lots of stuff rather quickly, like finding new patterns to try out, like Melanie Ham’s Slouchy Hat Pattern. I usually have trouble creating the proper slouch for a hat, but Melanie’s pattern was easy to follow and the hat I made created a slouch that was not too limp and fit perfectly.

Here are some pictures of the finished product:

I really like this smaller bobble for the hat and it was really fun to make. I added a couple more rows of the last bobble stitch row and only did one decrease for the single crochet rows on the bottom of the hat since it didn’t seem to be long enough for the yarn I was using and it was too tight when I completed the second decrease round. That may be because I crochet tighter and used a different type of yarn.

I recommend this pattern and Melanie’s video really helps those that are just beginning to crochet and need a little help with written crochet patterns.

Thank you for stopping by my blog!

Crochet Bunny Hat and Diaper Cover Free Pattern

April 9, 2017April 9, 2017 JessicaLeave a comment

Hi Everyone!

It is almost the long weekend and time for Easter! I received some free fuzzy pink yarn recently and was wondering what I could make with it. Then I thought since it is almost Easter, I would make a bunny rabbit baby set with a hat and diaper cover. I thought it would be difficult to crochet with this yarn, but if you don’t have to undo it, it crochets like any other yarn. This is my first time designing a diaper cover pattern so there were some sections that I had to redo and adjust. I also adjusted the baby hat pattern for the bunny hat and made some ears to add on top.

Here is the pattern:

Bulky (Weight: 5) Yarn

Crochet Heat Pack Pattern

December 16, 2016January 12, 2017 Jessica2 Comments

Hi Everyone!

With the colder weather there are always complaints about body aches and a cold bed, so I decided to make some heat packs to fight this problem. I used some rice that I had at home and some left over fabric to make the heat pack itself and then crocheted a cover for the heat pack so it doesn’t get too hot when you microwave it.

Here is the pattern:

Materials
5.00 mm (H) Hook
Worsted/Aran Weight Yarn
Tapestry Needle
Stitch Marker
Fabric
Rice or Beans
Buttons (Optional)

Pattern
Heat Pack Pouch
Chain 29 (Chain until you have the correct width of your heat pack)
Row 1: DC into 2nd CH from hook and till end. Turn (27)
Row 2: CH 1. DC till end (27)
Repeat Row 2 until you piece measures double the length of your heat pack.

Once you have the correct length, then you will fold the piece in half and SC around the sides of the pouch to sew it together.

Note: If you would like a button or a flap for your pouch you will not match the folded piece exactly together, but you will leave a little bit of unsewn pouch for the button holes. You can see some examples of how you can do this in the pictures of this post.

Note: If you do not want a button flap, you will sew the sides of the piece together, insert your heat pack and then SC around the end of the pouch together to seal the heat pack inside.

If you do not have a heat pack here are the instructions to make a heat pack and then you can make a pouch for it or you can make a pouch and sew a heat pack to size.

Heat Pack
Cut out one piece of fabric that measures to the size of the heat pack you want when it is folded in half. Sew two sides of the fabric together, leaving the smallest side of the piece opened. Once that is completed, flip the piece inside out and fill with rice or beans and then sew the remaining side together. This completes your heat pack.

Note: Do not heat up your heat pack too much or you may get burned. I usually heat mine up for 1 and a half minutes in the microwave, but you may have to adjust the time depending on your microwave.

Enjoy your own heat pack for any aches and during this cold winter weather.
