CROCHET ON PLASTIC MESH NETTING

30 March 2011

At last I got this bag finished for my mom..  It is for her to use when going to church on Sunday.  I have left this project aside for many years and now I know why.  I dont enjoy crocheting on a plastic mesh netting.  It caused too much stress on my arm.  This bag took me 2 weeks because I kept putting it off to rest my arm. Finally it is done and I am so happy....cant wait to give it to her tomorrow, when we will be going out together. 

The 2 rolls of nylon thread I had were just enough to finish the bag with its handles.  I actually have to use remaining tails from here and there to finish off one of the handles. 

I used the remaining thread from the water bottle pouch to make a flower as a holder infront.  As I ran totally out of thread, I used my brown cotton thread to do the rope to hold onto the flower...you may notice the color and texture difference at close-up.

 

 

 

I dont think I will do another crocheting on a plastic mesh....rough work for me.

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. 

NOTE: Please do not sell the pattern, you may sell the finished product, giving credit and linking it to the pattern creator. Thank you.

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.

Wow, no kidding, putting the pattern into words of stitches is really challenging.  These few patterns on my blog is my first write out and do let me know if there is any error.
