Granny Stitch Scarf

 


Free Pattern:

Us 5.5 mm or 5.00 mm crochet hook
Size 4 medium worsted weight yarn


Chain 200 (about 50 inches) and connect to the first chain to start working in a round. 

Row 1: chain 3 and place 2 double crochets into the next two stitches. Chain 1 and skip one stitch. Place one double crochet into the next three stitches. Chain one and skip one stitch. Repeat this pattern.

Row 2-15: repeat row 1 but instead of working in stitches place the double crochets into the openings created by the single chains. the same way you work any granny stitch.


You can make this however long or short, it is usually is wrapped around the head twice as displayed in the picture above. 


I have made a previous scarf pattern but the reason I wanted to try a new one is, honestly, I got bored with the other one. Some stitches can get really boring, and some patterns. Granny stitches tend to be something I don't get bored of easily, it is just a stitch and pattern I have a lot of fun with and is relaxing. I am trying to make my patterns more fun for me since I am making so many and I have so many plans. I have a hand full of patterns that I want to try and make. 


I think with this pattern it would be really cool to make it extra long in length of chains and make it pink and it might look like a Thneed from Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. I really want to try and make some fun-themed items, not exactly sure who I would give it to but I think it would be a fun topic for both this blog and TikTok. 


I have been having some trouble focusing on the last few days. I want to make this my life, I want this to make me happy and it does, but no one else seems to support my dream of being a blogger because it seems like such a crazy thing. It is like being a movie star or musician. How is it so hard to support people's dreams? Especially since I am not asking anything of anyone. I know if I was with someone or someone in my family had a dream id want them to go for it, live their lives, and take all the risks. People forget we only live once, if I don't work hard on it now when I have the time and space, I don't think I will ever do it. I will be too busy in a dead-end job, and then soon after probably some kid to take care of because life just goes on. I am young, I am free to live right now with no bills, I can work on anything I want, create anything I want. And yet there are people who want me to grow up faster than I need to. And the funny thing it is not even my mom. She isn't in love with my life but she doesn't hate me for it either. One day this blog will make it, I will make it and I will be able to write and create as a living and I just have to keep believing in myself even if no one else does. I know a little personal for a crochet blog but I want this to be my life, and that means I have to share my life as well. If you have a dream, please go for it, we only live once and I want to be happy while I'm here.

Tube Socks Pattern

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 making a magic circle. Row 1: Chain 3, and place 11 double crochet into the circle. (12 total) Slip stitch into the third chain. Row 2: Chain 3, double crochet into the same stitch, place two double crochet into each stitch all the way around, slip stitch into the third chain at the beginning of the round. Row 3-21: Chain 3, double crochet all the way around in each stitch. Slip stitch into the third chain at the beginning. On row 2, after slip-stitching, fasten off to finish. I have always had trouble with sock patterns because I hate super complicated patterns with an insane amount of nonpattern increases and decreases. When I first started making socks I actually technically knitted them using a round loom and I do plan on writing out this pattern, even though it is knitting, it's something I used and they do make very cute socks.

Winnie The Pooh Granny Square Blanket

  Back a year or so ago did a series on TikTok where I made socks themed with colors based on characters. I was considering doing it again but did not know if I could focus on the socks long enough, then I thought everyone loves blankets. I had this great idea to make a universal pattern/idea that I would work with any theme or inspiration. With a little trial and error, I came up with this 6 square granny blanket that s about the size of a lap blanket depending on your tension. Each granny square has 10 rows as well as the border row that connects them all. After doing the themed colors choose a matching color for the outside and started another row on each. When I get to the side to connect instead of chaining between each I place the hook through the chain on the other square, yarn over, and pull through to connect. Oh, and for each square, I make the first letter of the character's name to make it a little more personalized. For this little series, I will be making TikTok's
