Crochet Owl Purse

Crochet Owl Purse for Children

Crochet This Owl Purse. It’s Easy and quick. Now is a great time to begin crafting your Christmas gifts. This little purse is a great gift item. It can be used with small amounts of yarn which is ideal for using up your yarn stash, especially those skeins that are not complete. Most projects have a major problem, most don’t use up their entire amount of yarn called for in the pattern. This project will let you use up those left over skeins.

You can choose your own colors. This project uses medium weight yarn, you can also make it in cotton yarn. Since this is for a child it is not lined. However lining it should not be too difficult. You use only basic stitches. It is a great way to learn to do some shaping and begin working in the round (as used for the eyes.) I hop you will enjoy this project.

Crochet Dog Hand Puppet

Crochet dog hand puppet.

This is a fun project I came up with recently. It makes a great gift for any boy or girl. Now is the perfect time to work on these hand puppets. They work up quickly and are super cute and fun. These remind me of toys of days gone by… reminiscent of Captain Kangaroo. Ok, so maybe I dated myself.

Crochet Hand puppets are a great way for children to use their imagination . You can choose your own colors and modify the faces and ears to make other animals. I hope you enjoy the video tutorials that I have uploaded for you. This hand puppet uses basic crochet stitches and can be modified to change the size of your hand puppet. The basic shape can be used for other puppets as well. You would just need to change the facial features and ears to create other animals. I hope you enjoy creating your very own crochet dog hand puppet. Happy Crocheting!

Crochet Despicable Me Hat

Crochet – “Despicable Me” Minion Inspired Hat

The Minions have been a hit for quite a while now. I wanted to crochet a hat that was inspired by them. This hat uses basic stitches although I have added some 3D features to help your hat stand out. I made a YouTube Video tutorial and have provided the links for you. At this time I only have the written pattern available on my Revelry store. If you would like to purchase your pattern here is the link: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/inspired-by-despicable-me-beanies

If you are a visual learner my YouTube video tutorials are available to help. It’s a great idea to download the written pattern and follow along as I work the hats on the videos. This will teach you how patterns are written and is a good aide in learning to read patterns if you don’t already know how to do that.

Easy to Crochet Headband

By Yolanda on July 2, 2013 in Crochet Hats, Crochet Projects

This Crochet Headband is fast and easy to craft. You can choose colors to match your own wardrobe. Just by changing your hook size and the number of rows you add you can adjust the size of your headband. A headband is also another way that I use up yarn scraps. As you all know, I hate throwing away partially used yarn skeins. I also like to keep a little basket full of different types of flowers. Making a headband allows me to use up these scraps of yarn and at the same time make something useful. By adding different types of embellishment a plain headband can be dressed up. You can use roses, or another of type of flower.
