Granny Square Hat Pattern

Image
Free Pattern: Us 5.5 mm or 5.00 mm crochet hook Size 4 medium worsted weight yarn Start by chaining 4 and slip stitching into the first chain, or magic ring. Row 1: chain 3, double crochet two more times, chain 2, and create three more clusters (3 double crochets into the same space) with two chains in between each one. (4 clusters in row one) Slip stitch into the third chain at the beginning of the row. Slip stitch over to the next opening being the corner. Row 2-4: Chain 3 and double crochet two more times. Chain two and create another cluster in the same space. Continue creating clusters in each opening and placing two in each corner, with two chains in between. Row 5-13: Chain 3 and double crochet two more times. But this time you won't be increasing, you'll only put one cluster in each corner. So in every opening place one cluster (3 double crochets) and placing two chains in between each one. This is the start of the band "Row" 14: chain 7. Then you'...

  Free Pattern: Us 5.5 mm or 5.00 mm crochet hook Size 4 medium worsted weight yarn Start by chaining 4 and slip stitching into the first chain, or a magic circle. Row 1: Chain three and double crochet 9 times into the circle. Slip stitch into the third chain from the first three chains. Row 2: Chain three and double crochet into the same space. Place two double crochets into each stitch creating a total of 20 double crochets. Slip stitch into the third chain from the beginning. Row 3-9: Chain 3, double crochet into every stitch. Slip stitch into their third chain from the beginning. On the last row after slip stitching, fasten off to finish. This is one of my simplest patterns but the one with the most story I think.

We have been doing it since our Junior year of high school is back in 2017. Every year we smoke and drink while wearing green and spen...

Crochet Hoop Skirt Test Number One

Started crocheting this test on 4/13/2020 Chain 10 I think doing a back loop single crochet for the band will make it stretchy and better for a skirt. I measured the bottom of my hoop, which can be altered and I will put that into thought, and it was about 123 inches. My first thought was to do two stitches in each stick in each row, slowly increasing, But I had an idea to put many switches into each stitch at the top, and then singles down the bottom, and just make sure there is enough at the top, and it will create that folded look at the top hopefully. So about 10 stitches are about 2 inches. With some math (5x123 (5 because that's how many stitches per inch) = 615) which is a lot of stitches Still working on the band but I just measured where I think the base is going to lay and it was 53 inches. Just finished the band and tried it on with the hoop, I am very pleased. It is about 93 rows, I am kinda bad at counting rows. but not stretched the band is about 44 inches. I ...
