Lacy Round Baby Blanket | Free Crochet Pattern

Lacy Round Baby Blanket | Free Crochet Pattern: "
?

This lacy round baby blanket is made with a super bulky yarn, which helps to speed up the crocheting process. Depending on how fast you crochet, the baby blanket can be crocheted up in less than a day. Great for those last minute gifts.

The blanket is slightly textured in the solid areas, and has a nice ruffled edge."

Crochet Afghan Square | Free Crochet Pattern

Crochet Afghan Square | Free Crochet Pattern: "
This is a simple afghan square which you can make with just about any kind of yarn that you have on hand. Just keep in mind that when you use a thinner or thicker yarn that the finished size will also be different. The square shown is made with Patons Canadiana yarn, and it measures approximately 7 inches squared.

The stitches are easy, and thus it is a great beginner crochet pattern."

This is a very simple afghan square which you can make with any kind of yarn that you have on hand. Note that if you use a thick yarn, the square will be a larger size, and when using a thin yarn it will be smaller.

Depending on what kind of yarn you use, you can use this pattern to make afghans, scarves, place mats and other things. And the great thing about afghan squares is that you can join them with fancy, or contrasting stitches for a unique design.


It is a great beginner crochet pattern, as the stitches are easy "

Rag Rug Update


I'm having a good time and learning a few things
 I'll do differently next time. It's at 20 inches across right now.
Still a ways to go.
 Sure wish I had found exactly the colors I wanted,
but these will do for a learning experience and first run at it.
 I'm looking forward to standing on it
with my bare feet when it's done!

Rag Rug Beginnings

Crocheted Rag Rug
(Photo from Flickr Group linked below...NOT mine)


I spent all day yesterday on a new crafty endeavor. 
First, I hit several thrift stores, Goodwill, Big Lots, etc.,
 searching for cheap cotton sheets to use for this project,

 and then about 8 hours preparing and ripping and 
rolling the sheets 
you see above. Make no mistake..
.this takes hours upon hours. It isn't as quick as you'd think
 just to get prepared to do the actual crocheting,
 but if you go in with the mindset that this is part of the 
whole process and is to be enjoyed just as much as the rest, it'll help.

I didn't find the colors I wanted, but I was looking for 
cheap sheets to use for my first project.
 If you have lots of money to blow on sheets, 
you can be more picky about your colors, 
which I may do later if it's something I really enjoy.

I got my information and inspiration in the link provided in
THIS BLOG ENTRY.

See lots of beautiful crocheted rag rugs HERE
 in the Rag Rug Flickr Group Photos.

This is a thread drop stitch motif. It can be used individual or sewn together. While the tutorial is made in thread, this type of crochet is versatile and can be made with yarn, as with many crochet projects. When you see instructions for yarn, why not try out thread.
