CROCHET POUCH FOR NOKIA E66_1

27 March 2011

 

 

 

MATERIAL:  Orion Top Grace - white; Orion Top Aminah -  light purple; Clover No: 8 hook

PATTERN:

Base

24 ch; 1 ch; sc all round (put in 3 sc at last ch and 2 ch in first ch); join to first ch

Body

Row A:  (3 ch; dc into every sc and join to 3rd ch) Repeat ( ) 3 more rounds

Row B:  4 ch; *skip 1dc and do 1dc; Repeat * all round; join to 3rd ch

Row of puffs:  4 ch; puff stitch of 2dc into same dc; *close stitch; 1ch; puff with 3dc into next dc; Repeat * all round; join to 3rd ch

So you will have alternate rows of spaced dd and puffs, total 6 rows of spaced dc and 5 rows of puffs with spaced dc as the top row.

Now make 4 more of Row A.

Row of shells:  (1ch; 1sc; 1hdc; 1dc; 1tc) into same stitch; *skip 3dc; 1sc; 1hdc; 1dc; 1tc into 4th dc; Repeat from * all round; join to first ch.

You can do a chain loop at one end where you finished; cut and tie; hide the tail into the stitches

This last round is optional, that is using another color thread to do sc all round leaving out the loop.  I crochet the sc into the inside of the stitches leaving an outline of the shells.

Flowers:  Make 2 small flowers and attached it to one face of the pouch.  I made a small flower of 3 petails and a bigger one of 5 petals.

CROCHET POUCH FOR iPOD

26 March 2011

I did this pouch for Angie, a young friend in Melbourne.  Angie's birthday is in June.  Her mother is here for a visit, so with my crafting passion still on, I want to make her a gift so her mother can bring it home to her.  This is a very pre-birthday gift :)

I saw a picture of a crochet pouch online.  I like the pattern so I tried it out and added a little design of my own to the top part.  I also did a sling to hook onto the sides.  The sling can be shortened into half length as you can see from the pics.

 

 

The picture on the left shows the sling in half of its length by doing a double with both of the hooks on one side.  The picture on the right shows the full length of the sling.

 

A close look at the sling.....

MATERIAL:  Nylon thread - this is a smaller size than the one I used for the water bottle pouch.

POUCH FOR 1 LIT NALGENE BOTTLE

23 March 2011

Here is another pouch made for Joanna's Nalgene 1lit. bottle. There is not much choice of color for this material at the craft shop so I pick this dark brown color. It took me about 4+ hours to finish crocheting the pouch.

 

  

 

MATETIAL: 2 rolls of  Nylon thread (around 50gm each) and a size 5 crochet hook

SIZE OF BOTTLE: 29.5 cm circumferance and 9cm diameter (NALGENE 1litre bottle)

SOURCE:

For those of you in West Malaysia you can try the address below for supply of the Ondori thread.  This Distributor's address came with the ball packaging but I am not sure if it is still valid.

ONDORI NGAI HIN SDN BHD

PH:603-62516928   FAX: 603-62580928

PATTERN:

Bottom:
Round 1:  Make a magic circle; 3 chain; 15 double crochet in the loop; join by slip stitch at the first 3rd ch  (total 16 dc).

Round 2:  2 ch, 2 dc in each dc around (total 32 dc).

Round 3:  3 ch, *2 dc in next stitch, 1 dc in next stitch. Repeat around from * (3 rounds will make a 8cm diameter base).

Round 4: Repeat Round 3

Body:
1st Round:   1 ch; 1 half double crochet in each dc all round; slip stitch onto the 1st ch

2nd Round:  4 ch; 1 triple crochet to next hdc; *2 ch; 2 tc; Repeat * all round; ss to the 4th ch
Repeat 2nd Round till it reach almost the neck of your bottle

Now do 6 ch or more (depending on how big you want the petal to be); 1 single crochet into the next space (in between the tc); 1sc;

6 sc into each 6-ch-space; ss into the 1st sc

1ch; ss to the inside and 1sc into the nearest space between the tc; *6 ch; 1sc to the next space; Repeat * all round; ss to the 1st sc

(ss along 2 ch; 1sc; *6ch; 1sc to the next space; Repeat * all round) Repeat this round ( ) if your bottle has a longer neck. 

You can use a ribbon or shoe lace to string through the final row of spaces to secure the pouch to your bottle.  Here I crocheted a string of chains with a flower at each end to string through and tied a bow-tie.

Sling: 
6-8 ch (depending on how big you want the loop to be) close with ss; build chains to your preference of length; 6-8 ch and close with ss (2nd loop); 
ss all through the rest of the chains you have crocheted; ss to end of the 1st loop;
Tie and cut (slip the end through the stitches and use a lighter to slightly burn the end of the thread to keep it intact)
Add a ring-clip to each loop and now you can hook your sling onto your pouch and you are ready to go!

Other Pattern: for the sling.
