Sleepyhead Doll by Lanas y Ovillos



I've been eyeing to make an amigurumi, I even purchased a Craftsy Class By Stacey Trock of  Fresh Stitches called Amigurumi: Woodland Animals. I learned a lot from that class but I still don't have the expertise I want with Amigurumi. I have a problem with balance, my eyes are not in the center, the bear I did from that class was looking up. I don't know why, the class is so good, the instructor is wonderful and she answers your every questions. Maybe it was too advanced for me yet, or maybe I just expect too much from me. 

But I never give up, I will never give up on amigurumi. I even made my first pattern Angry Birds Amigurumi, although I can honestly say that the bird did not look like an angry bird at all...lol, but my son love it. So I searched the internet (Youtube) for an easy beginners amigurumi tutorial. And found this one by Lanas y Ovillos. It was very easy for me to follow and a good start for someone like me. I was just too ambitious in making those complicated toys.

With this one I am satisfied with the result, not that I am the only one satisfied, my niece seems to love it also. We asked her what to name the doll, she wants to call it "cappy" I think she means "Nappy" since it is a sleepy doll. And yes she takes it with her in her sleep.  And I am happy that she likes it, because nothing is more satisfying to know that someone appreciates and loves my work.


So I guess my amigurumi adventure doesn't stop here, someday I will make those complicated ones... My son keeps asking for a dinosaur! Wow a dinosaur! Wish me luck on that.

So that's it. I hope you all learn something and enjoy this post. If you have any questions, comments or suggestion just leave a message on the comment box and I will gladly answer them. Thank you and God bless!

Please excuse my niece's outfit. It's really not that easy to make a 2 year old  model your work, even if that work is for her. So no time to change clothes or even to tie her hair. lol.

So I guess that is all there is for this particular pattern. I hope you all learn something and enjoy this post. If you have any questions, comments or suggestion just leave a message on the comment box and I will gladly answer them. Thank you and God bless!

Oh My Hat - by Moogly


A friend of mine gave me a very wonderful yarn. Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Oxford Grey. It's my first time to take hold of a yarn like this. Seriously, I was elevated when I had it. Please excuse my ignorance, but I am living in a tropical country and most of our yarns here are made of cotton. My sister is even asking me why am I making all this crochet that I cannot use here since it's so hot and humid in here. I don't know, I just love to make anything out of my yarns, and yes sometimes chilly winds blow so I got to use them, but not all the time. There are also who order from me such things and I wonder also if they got to use it all the time. 

So back to the yarn, it was given to me but it was only 1 skein of yarn. Since I want it to be wearable even in the tropics, I decided to me it into a hat. So the quest for the best pattern begins, at first I tried to make it into something I've designed myself but was disappointed because the yarn is not enough. So I've searched the internet, and so happy that the first blog I've looked upon was Moogly. So happy that when I needed a perfect pattern it was given to me immediately.  Oh My Hat is perfect for the yarn I have. Perfect also for what I needed, I could use this everyday. So happy also that one skein is all I need. 
I added some pompom to it. I made it by myself with some Lion Brand Bonbons Party.

So go ahead and try the pattern now on mooglyblog.com. The pattern is so easy to follow, I thought to myself first that this would be a long project because I thought the stitches were hard , but it is not. It is so easy to make. I've finished this in one seating only and I am sure that after you've finished your hat you will surely gonna say "Oh My Hat!"


So that's it. I hope you all learn something and enjoy this post. If you have any questions, comments or suggestion just leave a message on the comment box and I will gladly answer them. Thank you and God bless!

Suzette Beanie

I've been working on this pattern for a week. A friend gave me a very wonderful yarn. One that I haven't had ever before. It's Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Oxford Grey. I have never had this kind of yarn, just because it's so hard to find a Lion Brand yarns here in the Philippines. I love it very much so I was thinking of making a slouchy hat out of this yarn, and even posted on Instagram a WIP.
A photo posted by Si Nanay Madel (@sinanaymadel) on

But I was so sad because I only have a skein of that yarn and wasn't able to finish the project. It can't even finished a beanie, much more a slouchy hat. So I had to frog it and think of a new project for that yarn ( SPOILER! I found one and would post soon about it. So excited for that one)

And so I look for another yarn, long enough and soft enough for a slouchy hat. Good thing this locally bought yarn was good enough to be a replacement for this project. 

The stitch is called "Suzette Stitch" and it is so easy to do but an eye catcher. It is just a combination of single crochet and double crochet. 
And as you can see it's still not as slouchy as I want it to be. But then I am already happy with the result. If you have a better yarn, that can make it more slouchy go ahead and use it. My goal for this was to use only one (1) skein of yarn , but have I had more skein of the wool-ease I could have make that exemption, but no worries all things come together for good. So here is the Pattern of this hat.

Materials

Size
Adult Size

Stitches used:
  • ch - chain
  • sc - single crochet
  • dc - double crochet
  • sl st - slip stitch


Instructions:

Round 1 . Chain 80, join to the first chain. Chain 1, sc in first stitch, sc all around. Join with a sl st in first sc, chain 1.

Round 2-10. Sc all the way around. Join with a sl st in first sc, chain 1.

Round 11-24. Sc in first stitch, dc in same stitch. * skip next stitch, sc, dc in next*. Repeat * all the way around. Join with a sl st in first sc, chain 1.  Leave a long tail to gather up the crown or stitch it up to close it. The pompom is optional. 

Now if you want a more slouchy hat you can continue working up to your desired length. 

That is all there is for this pattern. So easy and yet so pretty.


So that's it. I hope you all learn something and enjoy this post. If you have any questions, comments or suggestion just leave a message on the comment box and I will gladly answer them. Thank you and God bless!

Flower Wreath

As promised here is my version of a flower wreath.  So far this is the most in demand project I had. It's so cute and looks so nice not just on a little girl's head but also for grown ups.   For this toturial I am using a worseted yarn, but the actual wreath is made of crochet thread like that of Aunt Lydia's. I am making this pattern as if I am using a crochet thread. 

But the pictures you will see is of a worseted yarn. I was having a hard time taking pictures of those so little thread. So I made this tutorial with a bigger yarn for better visual. So here's the pattern:

Materials:
  • Yarn - For this tutorial I made it with a worsted yarn.  But for the actual wreath it is made of crochet thread like the one of Aunt Lydia's.
  • Crochet hook - 1.5mm. But for this tutorial it is a G/4.0mm
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry Needle

Stitches Used:
  •  st(s) - stitch(es)
  • ch - chain
  • sc- single crochet
  • dc - double crochet
  • sl  st - slip stitch

Instructions
Chain 20. Sl st in the first chain to creat a loop. 

This loop will serve as our adjuster.  Then ch20 again, plus ch 5. Sl st in the 6th chain from the hook. 


 Then Make 12 sc into that small loop.

 Sl st in the first st. *Chain 2, skip 1, sc in the next st. * Repeat this process until you will have 6 small loops around. 



Sl st in first st. *Sl st into the loop, ch 1,  5dc, ch 1 and sl st back into the loop. * Repeat this process again on all 6 small loops, this will be the first set of petals for our flower.












Then ch 1, and insert your hook in between the first and the last petal. Like this one.
And make a sl st, then ch 4 and sl st again to the next in between the petals.
Make the all around and you will end up again with 6 small loops, a little bigger than the previous one. This is where we are going to make our second set of petals for the flower again.  

Then sl st in the loop, ch 1, dc 7 into the loop, ch 1 and sl st back into the loop.


Make the petals around until you will have 6 a little bit bigger petals on the second row of your flowers.
This is how your flower will look like. Then ch 1 and sl st on any st you can find at the back of your flower just to add up some height just before you continue to work on your next flower again.


The after that. Repeat all the process once again until you reached the desired length  of your flower wreath. 
This is how it looks like with crochet thread.




And now for the leaves. You will just have to chain whatever length you like and attached your chain to the flower wreath and make some small leaves. For the leaves I only chain 5, sc in 2nd st from the hook, hdc next, hdc again in next and sc in the last chain, then sl st back to the "stem"  of your wreath... You can just place the leaves anywhere and chain whatever you like, for this flower, in every chain 12 I make a leaf.


That's me modeling the wreath. Excuse my gray hairs.. hehehe.


So that's it. I hope you all learn something and enjoy this post. If you have any questions, comments or suggestion just leave a message on the comment box and I will gladly answer them. Thank you and God bless!

Flowers


While almost half of the whole world is now getting colder, here in the Philippines it is still hot as summer. But sometimes the cold winds blow also. I really wish I could make all those beautiful Autumn outfit, I love the colors of autumn. But I don't know what to do with them if I will  make one it's too hot for a chunky cowl or even an ear warmer.

 It's no wonder why I cannot find much chunky yarn here in our country. It's no use for us here. The most popular yarns we have here are made of cotton. I even grow up thinking that I can only use crochet thread for crocheting, never thought that a yarn can make a lot of difference and would open a lot of possibilities on crocheting. So you might still wonder why I am not making anything for the coming cold for it never gets here. 

So today I am making flowers. Yes! even if spring is so far away I can still make flowers and it is my most demanded project so far.  As much as I hate to work with crochet thread, I get yarn burn on my finger all the time, I have no choice because they look so lovely especially if you are making flowers. Below are some crocheted flowers I have found around the web and also later I'll be posting about my flower wreath and how I did it.


So here are my TOP 10 beautiful flowers around the web. So far these flowers are the ones that really caught my eye and all of them are free pattern as of writing. 
  1. Double Crochet Flower 
  2. Crochet Flower 
  3. Crochet Hydrangea Flower  
  4. Double Flower 

  5. Easy Rose Crochet Pattern 
  6. Cherry Blossom Flower 
  7. Popcorn Stitch Crochet Pattern 
  8. Small Flowers 
  9. The Crocheted Flower Wedding Bouquet 



Of course if you are making flowers you needed some leaves too. As a bonus here is a beautiful collection of crochet leaves free pattern by Attic24. Just read on the blog and you will find the links of the patterns for the leaves. The entry was about the beginning of making a winter wreath and by the looks of it, this wreath will be gorgeous.


And if all those flowers are not yet enough here is a Playlist in Youtube from Sheruknitting. So many video tutorials about crocheting flowers.


So that's it. I hope you all learn something and enjoy this post. If you have any questions, comments or suggestion just leave a message on the comment box and I will gladly answer them. Thank you and God bless!

Ribbon: 
Row 1. Chain 7, sc in the 2nd st from the hook. sc to end. Chain 1 and turn.
Row 2. Chain1, sc to end. Chain 1 and turn. Repeat this process until row 38.
Row 3-38.  Same sa Row 2.
Join both end of the ribbon by sc both ends together. Fasten all ends.
Fold the ribbon and find the center of it. I make the center the one where the two ends are sc together. Wrap them with the white thread. And attached them into the shoes by sewing. Just like the one in the picture below. 

I attached a big pearl bead as a button. I don't exactly know the size of this bead. But it firmly fits the buttonhole. Then weave all ends and you're done!
So that's it. I hope you all learn something and enjoy this post. If you have any questions, comments or suggestion just leave a message on the comment box and I will gladly answer them. Thank you and God bless!
