Coreo Flower Earrings Free Crochet Pattern

Coreo Flower Earrings Free Crochet Pattern

The inspiration behind the design of my Coreo Flower Earrings Crochet Pattern is because I absolutely love flowers.  I came across the Coreopsis Flower while looking for flowers I could plant in my garden this season.

As you know fresh flowers don’t last very long.  So I just had to design some flowers that I could keep around me all year long.

Information about the Coreo Flower Earrings Crochet Pattern

The earring crochet pattern works up quickly.  You can make them in a wide variety of colors and add a little something special to your wardrobe.

So, you can even embellish handbags, headbands, or even use a thicker yarn to embellish just about anything in your wardrobe.  They are a great way to use some of the scraps of yarn you have left over from other projects.

Below you will find a FREE copy of my Coreo Flower Earrings Crochet Free Pattern that you can come back to time and again.  This is a great way to use up stash yarn when you want to add accessories to your updated your wardrobe.

sk = skip
rep = rep
sl st = slip stitch
RS = Right Side
WS = Wrong Side

Notes:
ch 1 does not count as st
ch 3 counts as a dc
alt ch 2 counts as a dc
There are 2 ways you can start your color changes, by fastening off or by carrying up your new color at the beginning of the specified row
There are 3 sizes to choose from 60″ 66″ 72″ in length consecutively

Special Notes:
Due to different thicknesses of yarn, try and match up the same thicknesses for each color.

12 st x 8 rows = 4”

Gauge Swatch:

Fasten off and weave in ends or carry your new color.

**Tip for Changing Colors**

*when fastening off your ends, it would be a good idea to leave about a 8” tail of yarn.
*This way you can weave in your current color and new color as you start your next row.

 

**Benefits of Carrying a New Color**

*There are fewer ends to weave in.
*It creates a cleaner finish on the back of your project.
*It gives your work a more seamless appearance when changing colors frequently in a pattern.

Suzy’s Baby Bib Free Crochet Pattern

Suzy’s Baby Bib Crochet Pattern

This post contains the Suzy’s Baby Bib Free Crochet Pattern.  This is a perfect make for baby showers or for new moms and dads.

Welsh Braided Leg Warmers Free Crochet Pattern

Welsh Braided Leg Warmers Free Crochet Pattern

The Welsh Braided Leg Warmers Free Crochet Pattern is a great make to wear in chilly weather, while you work out, or as a great accessory to your wardrobe.

You will find a FREE copy of my Welsh Braided Leg Warmers Crochet Pattern below.

I recently gave a handmade pair to my sister for her birthday and she loved them!  She told me she was shopping online looking to buy some.  I told her it was perfect timing then and that mine were better. 😆

The Welsh Braided Leg Warmers Crochet Pattern uses the same stitches, the Puff Stitch, I used when designing my Welsh Braided Cowl.  I just love how puffy and warm the finished item is.

Rolling Shells Wrist Warmers FREE Crochet Pattern

Information Needed

I used 2 colors of Caron One Pound 100% Acrylic Yarn.  (16 oz/453.6 g) (812 yds/742 m)

Beginner Friendly

US Terminology

Materials:
US H or 5mm Crochet Hook
MC = 60-80 yds #4 ply Worsted/Aran Weight Yarn
CC = 50-70 yds of #4 ply Worsted/Aran Weight Yarn

Abbreviations/Stitches Used:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
rep = repeat
dc = double crochet
MC = Main Color
CC = Contrasting Color

Notes:
ch 3 counts as a dc.
stitch count is a multiple of 3.
Beg Shell and Shell are placed in each ch-1 sp.
If you do not meet Gauge try going up or down a hook size.
If you are using 2 colors, it is best to use the same thicknesses for each color.
There are 2 sizes to choose from, Child Size and Adult consecutively.

Gauge:
US H or 5mm Crochet Hook
16 dc x 8 rows = 4”
Shells:  4 rows = 4”

Gauge Swatch:
R1: ch 19 into the 4th ch from hook, dc across.  turn 16 dc
R2-R8: alt ch 2 or ch 3, dc across.  turn 16 dc

Special Stitches:
Beg Shell = (ch 3, dc, ch 1, 2 dc) all in same sp
Shell = (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) all in same sp

Special Note:
The pattern calls for using the Carrying Colors Method.  This allows you to carry your MC and CC up the rows without fastening off.
