NEW Corner to Corner C2C Crochet Brush Stitch

Mikey developed a stitch combination called the Brush Stitch. Crochet diagonally with lines going in the opposite direction. The stitch is similar to the corner-to-corner with different anchoring points. The stitching causes space to appear, and the space is going in the opposite direction, which looks like eyelets. Very easy to understand once you get your mind wrapped around it. The stitching…

Horizons Pouch Bag

Inspired by the Animal Crossing: New Horizons "Hand-knitted pouch" (which is clearly crochet, but I forgive the translators because Japanese doesn't usually distinguish between knitting and crochet).

This bag just fits an iPhone Pro Max, so should fit most phones, or if you prefer a small wallet and keys. Good for going for a walk when you don't have pockets, or don't have sufficient pockets, or filling your pockets with your giant heavy phone pulls them down and so you spend the whole walk feeling like your pants are about to fall off.

The strap is sized so I can wear it as a cross-body or shoulder bag. You may want to try it on as you go while making the strap to make sure it fits your body: you may like it to hang lower or be shorter. Note you might end up using a bit more yarn if you do this!

I got myself a little twisted so my seam goes up the front of the bag 🥲 you can do better and make your seam go up the side.

Equipment

6.5mm crochet hook (if you are a loose worker, go down to 6mm, if tight to up to 7mm - I used 7mm) or size required for gauge (below)

100g Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick & Quick in Dark Cherry - this is a "super bulky" number 6 yarn, 100% recycled polyester. A ball of this is 340g, so this pattern should use up about 1/3 of a leftover ball. But if you don't have that, feel free to sub any similar weight yarn you do have lying around.

25mm button (time to raid the button stash for that cute button you only have 1 of!)

Sewing thread to match your button (I used black)

60cm brown shoelace, or ribbon, or narrow fabric tape

Large tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)

Bodkin for weaving in ribbon (if not using shoelace)

Sewing needle (for attaching button)

Terms

ch - chain

sc - single crochet (us), double crochet (uk)

sl st - slip stitch

yo - yarn over

fdc - foundation double crochet (us), foundation treble (uk)

st - stitch

Gauge

10x10 cm is 10 sc x 10 rows

Pattern

The bag is made bottom-up, in a spiral, with a sl st and a ch between each round. The strap is made in one piece with the bag, so there's no sewing (except for attaching the button).

Start with a slip knot.

Ch 12

In 2nd ch from hook, 10 sc across ch sts, 3 sc in first st of chain, 10 sc up other side of ch, 2 sc in last st, sl st to join, ch 1 (do not turn! keep going around!) [24 sc total]

2 sc in 1s st, 9 sc across, 2 sc in each of next 3 sts, 9 sc, 2 sc in each of next 2 sts, sl st to join, ch 1 [30 sc total]

sc in each st around, sl st to join, ch 1 [30 sc total]

sc in each st around, sl st to join, ch 1

sc in each st around, sl st to join, ch 1

sc in each st around, sl st to join, ch 1

sc in each st around, sl st to join, ch 1

sc in each st around, sl st to join, ch 1

sc in each st around, sl st to join, ch 1

sc in each st around, sl st to join, ch 1

sc in each st around, sl st to join

sl st to other side of bag; start fdc for the strap as follows: ch 2, yo, hook into st at base of ch on bag, yo, pull through one loop, yo, pull through two loops, yo, pull through two loops; 80 fdc; join to bag at other end with 3 sl st into bag and end of strap; sl st to center of bag, ch 8 to main button loop, sl st back to bag to finish loop; sl st to other strap to make top even

Break yarn and sew in ends.

In 5th and 7th rows (6th and 8th from top) weave shoelace through the stitches in the row (there should be a little x in front of the ribbon). If using ribbon or tape, you may need a darning needle or bodkin to pull it through. Tie loose ends together inside bag.

Sew on button opposite loop so the loop can just slip around the button, mine is attached to the 11th row.

All my current worries about how much this bag will shrink would have been allayed had I felted a swatch.

Yet, did I felt a swatch ? No. Will I felt a swatch next time ? Probably not.

Working on a wheelchair bag again. My first two were always intended to be replaced, as they were just prototypes. Hopefully this one will be more permanent.

Idk if my notes and vague diagrams are readable at all, but I've been really thinking this one thru. Or trying to, anyway. My other two wheelchair bags have not included a way to cover the contents, which was a poor choice that I am now reaping the consequences of (everything gets wet when it rains). So the flaps are a new element that I'm not sure of, but I think will be necessary. Also will be lining it in black felt from a thrifted and then felted merino sweater. Actually, it was already a little felted when I got it. Probably why it was donated in the first place. I just felted it way way more.

Kinda worried about running out of yarn actually. And about the bag turning out small.

Yeah magic isn't real, but being able to read stuff like sheet music and crochet diagrams kind of feels like it sometimes I think

Crochet Daisy Diamond Rug Pattern

Crochet Daisy Diamond Rug Crochet Daisy Diamond Rug I made one of these Crochet Daisy Diamond Rug Patterns for our cats. Cats are attracted to circles and we strategically placed this in our home. I made mine with T-Shirt yarn that was about the same thickness as 4 plies of Lily Sugar’n Cream yarn put together for the thickness. Riverstone loved her rug. Her safe spot to sit and keep off the cold…

I've been SCOURING the internet looking for a good pattern for crochet lace gloves because I want to make pairs of gloves like they wear in Bridgerton. I've been crocheting a mock-up based off the best pattern I could find but it still wasn't what I wanted and I was trying to adapt it without much success.

While looking for something I emailed to myself like 2 years ago for another project, I found out that almost exactly a year ago I had emailed myself the PERFECT crochet lace glove pattern. Apparently I never actually opened the email after sending it.

God my past self is so helpful sometimes.

I will say that working on this crochet lace tablecloth has been a boost for my confidence in my ability to read weird patterns. It's a pattern from the 1890's and good lord has it been difficult to read. Not so much to crochet each round once it gets going, but actually read the thing and figure out wtf is meant. Nothing is standardized and there are sections where clearly the writer ASSUMES the reader already knows wtf they're on about, but there is no explanation anywhere.

And somehow I'm making it work. I'm on round 60 and haven't died yet.

occasionally they are like pastry patterns but missing the number of hours you should ideally let the pastry rest (missing any indication of stitch count except what you can scrounge from various ever changing abbreviations) and sometimes the amount of butter listed in the ingredients list is different to the amount listed when the step actually comes (what the pattern says the stitch count should be but despite unravelling and reravelling you find you are always the same number off, without making any mistakes, hence the pattern is wrong) AND YET they still expect the pastry to be perfect

Some knitting patterns are like pastry recipes* and some are more like soup recipes**.

Normally, I knit soup, but I’m knitting pastry at the moment and it is a different experience.

*follow these instructions exactly

**here is one way to make soup, but you can always just use this as a jumping off point and add whatever’s in your fridge and you will still get soup
