Olivia's Butterfly

This is a very simple hat and very quick to make. Using a J hook and worsted weight yarn, I used red heart, and it fits a 20 1/2 inch head very nicely. Very easily adjustible by either adding increase rows or taking away.

Rnd 2) ch2, (does not count as dc now and through out) 2dc in each st around, sl st to top of first dc
Rnd 3) ch 2 * 2dc in first st, 1dc in next st around, repeat from * around slip st to join
Rnd 4) ch2, *2dc in first st, dc in next 2dc , repeat from * around, join
Rnd 5) ch2, * 2dc in first st, dc in next 3dc , repeat from * around, join

Rnd 6) ch2, dc in same st and each st around

Rnd 7 and 8) Repeat rnd 6

Rnd 9) ch2, dc in same st, dc in next 21 sts, ch10, skip next 9 sts, dc in next st and in each st accross, slip st to join

Rnd 10) ch2, dc in same st and in next 21 sts, ch 10, skip 10 chains, dc in next dc and in each remaining dc, slip st to join

Rnd 11 and 12) Repeat rnd 10

Rnd 13) ch1, sc in same st and in next 21 sts, ch5, sc over all ch 10's by bunching together and into 5th dc of the 9 skipped dc on row 9, ch5, sc in next dc and in each dc around slip stitch to join, fasten off. I hope you can see in the pic how I did row 13.

Please feel free to sell your creations as you like... just maybe link to my pattern or tag with my website. Thanks, and happy hooking.

Jayde Hat

This is a very simple and quick hat, using a ww yarn. I would like to try to do some in something other than Red Heart, but right now that's all I have on hand.

I added a few buttons on the side, any kind of decoration would work, or leave it plain. Happy Hooking!

All I ask is that you don't use the pattern to sell, you may sell your own creations, but it would be nice to have the pattern credited to me. :o)

Star in Bloom

I used a G hook and ww yarn

This is a very rough pattern, as I didn't write it down as I went.... so please let me know if you have any questions, It's like working a granny square with an extra corner!

Rnd 1, ch5 sl st to form circle, join, ch3, 2dc in circle, * ch2, 3dc, repeat 3 more times, sl st to top of ch 3. (5 ch2 spaces)

Rnd 2) sl st in next st and ch2 sp, ch3, 2dc, ch2,3dc in smae space, * ch1, 3dc,ch2 3dc in next sp, ch1, repeat around.

Rnd 3-5) sl st in next st and next ch2 sp, ch2, 2dc, ch2, 3dc in same sp, *ch1, 3dc in next sp, ch1, 3dc, ch2, 3dc in next sp, repeat around... rows 4 and 5 will increase one more time each in between corners

Using contrasting color, with wrong sides facing, attach yarn in ch two space with sc, sc evenly around through both "stars", along three sides, sc in ch 2 sp... here I also went around the opening with sc. Fasten off.

Leaf... I made two:

ch8, sl in first ch, sc in next 2ch, hdc in next ch, 2dc in next ch, 3sc in last ch, now working on opposite side, dc in next 2sts, hdc in next st, sc in next 2 sts, sl to last fasten off and attache to desired spot on star

For handle, ch 2, 6sc in second ch, do not join, continue sc around for about 8-9 inches. fasten off and attatch to star.

One More Granny Square Bag

I have become obsessed with Granny Squares again this week... every once in a while I just need to make some. So here is another bag I made yesterday for you to play around with if you like.

I hook and ww yarn

Hopefull you see the layout well enough in the pictures.

I made three full squares done in 7 rounds, attached them by folding them in half and sewing the sides together matching the points. This makes a triangled gap at the top. Here is wher I made two half granny squares doing only 6 rnds and fitting them in and attaching a button and strap. Very simple, and quick to make up.

Get Your Granny On~ bag

I used a J hook for these

I really wanted to do some granny squares, but really didn't feel like making a blanket, so I made a couple of bags, I like the larger one to use for beach stuff etc....These could be very easily lined with fabric to make a nice bag to hole some of the smaller stuff too.

These are just a few basic granny squares turned on their sides. For the blue and brown bag I used three squares done in 8 rounds. Bottom square foled in half, I pieced together by folding two more in half and attaching two sides making them look like triangles... It's easy to see in the pictures if you need help leave me a comment. I didn't make the strap very long as there is a big gap in this one.

I made straps by making a long chain for what I wanted for length, hdc around both sides and then sc around for the second rnd.

For the Green and yellow bag I used four (only 6 rounds on this one) squares and attached as the larger bag and the fourth one I filled in the triangle in the back and used as a flap. I added two more rows to the top side for it to come down over the front of the bag and attached a button to fit through one of the corners. Would love to see any pictures if you make one or two or more! :o) Happy hooking.

Rnd 8-12) Repeat rnd 7

If you want a strap I just chained what I wanted for length, this time it was about 70 chains, 2sc in second ch from hook, sc in each ch accross, 3sc in last ch, work sc accross back side 1sc in same ch as first 2sc, (change color if desired) ch 1, hdc in same st and in each sc accross, 2hdc in very last two sc before working back side,( I just kinda eyeballed it) hdc accross, 2hdc in last 2sc. fasten off weave in ends. Attatch ends a little ways down the side of cozy, I did about an inch and a half, and there you go... Enjoy
