Men’s Tool Belt Free Crochet Pattern

 

There are not very many crochet patterns for men out there.  I recently designed an apron for men and it sparked an idea for this men’s tool belt design.  This is a great pattern for him to get organized when he works on a project.  He can put certain tools in the pockets that will be needed for his upcoming project.  You can even customize this crochet pattern for women too! 

 

 

You can find a premium copy of the Men’s Tool Belt at my Ravelry Store or LoveCrafts or my Etsy Shop that contain Picture Tutorials and Step-by-Step instructions.

****************************************************

I used Caron One Pound 16 oz/812 yd (1454 g/742 m)

Materials:

US Hook J/ 6 mm
500-600  yds of #4 Worsted Weight Yarn
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Stitch Marker

Gauge:
 US Hook J/6 mm
 12 hbdc x 8 rows = 4”

Gauge Swatch: 
R1:  ch 14, hdc in 3rd ch from hook, hbdc in each st across.  turn (12 st)
R2:  ch 2, hbdc in each rem st across.  (12 st)
R3-R8:  Repeat R2

Abbreviations/Stitches Used:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
fdc = foundation double crochet
rep = repeat
rem = remaining
SM = stitch marker

Special Stitches:
Herringbone Double Crochet:
1. yarn over, insert hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook)
2. pull first loop straight through the second (similar to a slip stitch)
3. yarn over, pull through 1 loop again. (2 loops on hook)
4.  yarn over and pull through both loops.

Notes:
* I used 2 strands of yarn held together to create a thicker tool belt.  
* the stitch count is a multiple of 6 if you want to customize the size of your tool belt.
* there are 2 options to choose from in creating the waist ties.
* ch 1 does not count as a st.
* ch 3 counts as the 1st dc.
* alt ch 2 counts as the 1st dc.
* be sure to count your stitches once and awhile.  

Video Tutorials:

Adding Waist Tie at the end of the row here.

****************************************************

Customizing:

The tool belt can be crocheted for anyone.  Below you will find the gauge broken down into inches for that perfect fit.

Step 1:
Measure the front side of the waist from 1 hip to the other.  This will be your main tool belt piece.

Step 2:
Using your measurements from Step 1, divide the amount of stitches needed in half, this will give you your waist tie measurements.

**If you would like to make the waist ties longer, be sure to add the amount of stitches needed before you begin crocheting the tool belt**

Step 3:
For the height of the tool belt, measure from the hips down to mid-thigh. This will decide the number of rows you add before the waist ties are added.

Step 4:
Use the gauge below to choose the number of rows needed to meet the tool belt height.

Step 5:
Choose which option of the tool belt you would like to make and move on to the pattern below.  Again, Option 1 adds waist ties right to the tool belt and Option 2 allows you to make them separately.

Gauge:
3 st x 2 rows = 1”
6 st x 4 rows = 2”
9 st x 6 rows = 3”
12 st x 8 rows = 4 “

****************************************************

Tips on How to Spend Your Vacation as a Family During School Breaks

In today’s post Joyce Wilson of Teach Sparks is sharing some tips on how to spend your vacation as a family during school breaks.  With Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner these tips really do come in handy especially when dealing with Covid-19.  As someone who crochets, I remember teaching my daughter how to crochet.  When you spend time at home during your child’s school vacations, teaching them how to crochet becomes a skill they can put to use during these times.

Tips on How to Spend Your Vacation as a Family During School Breaks

With school breaks coming up, you need to figure out the most incredible ways of spending quality time with your family. Whether you choose to stay at home and teach your kids some algebra or take them to a private island abroad, the crucial thing should be to spend time together as a family. While planning a family vacation is one of the easiest ways to get stressed, thanks to the logistics involved, the good thing is that it’s doable. That’s why this article outlines a few tips for amazing family vacations. 

Travel to Your Desired Destination

Traveling for a vacation used to be a to-die-for thing until the pandemic hit. Even so, it is still possible to travel to your desired destination without necessarily jeopardizing the health of your loved ones. When traveling amid the pandemic, consider the following tips: 

  • Choose COVID-19 compliant establishments – Following the directive of the federal government, most hotels are now compliant with the COVID-19 safety measures. This means that by checking in such hotels, your chances of enjoying yourself while keeping safe are high. 
  • Minimize visiting public places – While the essence of traveling for vacation is probably to mingle with other people and see the other side of the world, the pandemic kind of limits that now. However, you can still visit recreational places such as parks and museums with strict adherence to COVID-19 safety measures. 
  • Observe safety measures – Whether your whole family has been vaccinated or not, you still face the risk of contracting and even transmitting the virus to others. To avoid this, ensure you wear masks and observe social distancing in public places. Also, be sure to sanitize your hands always and be on the lookout for possible signs of infection.

Make Your Stay at Home Worthwhile

During these pandemic times, staying at home is, so far, one of the surefire ways to avoid contracting or spreading the virus. This doesn’t mean your holidays have to be boring. There’s a bunch of exciting activities you can engage in as a family and strengthen your bonds. For instance, if you are a large family, you can split into teams and play games such as soccer and tennis. Other fun activities include baking, gardening, playing with cards, making a holiday tree, painting, creating a rainbow using crayons, and playing hide-and-seek.

Outdoor Activities for Holidays 

Outdoor activities are not only enjoyable but also minimize your risk of COVID-19, thanks to the abundance of fresh air. If you decide to spend your vacation at home, outdoor activities such as playing games and building structures should be on your to-do list.

Safety Tips During Holidays

Although outdoor activities are awesome, they also come with risks such as injuries. This means that you should be extra careful to keep your family safe during the school break. Safety tips include: 

  • Warning your loved ones about the possible risks involved in the activities.
  • Putting limits on the extent of exertion when it comes to games such as wrestling.
  • If you’re exploring in nature, a child-friendly smartwatch has safety features like a GPS locator. 
  • Playing outside only when the weather is safe.

In case you’re traveling for vacation, your home may be susceptible to burglary and vandalism, especially if no one is staying behind. To enhance home safety, consider installing a fence around your property. 

Typically, if you want to install a fence, search “fencing company near me” to contact a local contractor who can get the job done. To make a good hire, be sure to check out factors such as online reviews, company credentials, insurance status, the experience of contractors, and the cost of installation. Take note that the cost of fencing your home depends on things such as the type of material used, location, and size of the fence.

Conclusion

If you intend to travel for vacation as a family, use the tips mentioned in this article to have an awesome experience while staying safe from COVID. Family travels are always a great way to create heartwarming memories.

**********************************************************

In the part of the article where Joyce talks about making your stay at home worthwhile, I have a friend who has 5 kids.  Each kids has learned a different skill and they do these things while staying at home during school vacations.  Each child has learned different skills. They have learned crochet, baking, cooking, mechanics, and sewing.

I previously released my free crochet pattern for the Christmas Star Ornaments.  During testing, one of my testers’ daughter wanted to crochet the star as well.  Below you can find pics of my friend’s daughter crocheting her Christmas Star Ornament.

I hope you find Joyce’s tips on how to spend your vacation as a family during school breaks helpful.  Whether it be Thanksgiving or Christmas break these tips are perfect when dealing with Covid-19 or time of the year.  Whether it be crocheting, baking, cooking, mechanics, sewing or whatever things you would like to do as a family.  Remember to be safe in whatever you do together as a family.

Visit Teacher Spark to find more ideas on how to spark your child’s imagination.  You can find ideas like Creativity, Math Motivation, Reading to spark your child’s imagination.

O Holy Night Wrap

O Holy Night Wrap Crochet Pattern

The O Holy Night Wrap Crochet Pattern is the perfect make to crochet for Christmas and the Holidays.  We who like to crochet love to get a head start for those gift giving months.

This post contains affiliate links.  

If you have not signed up for my Newsletter, today would be the perfect time!  When you sign up to my Newsletter you will get a FREE premium crochet pattern from me!

The inspiration behind the design of the wrap is the Christmas Song, O Holy Night.

“O holy night, the stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth; Long lay the world in sin and error pining, ‘Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn; Chorus Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices! O night divine!”

Information about the Pattern

The O Holy Night Wrap uses 2 different types of stitches that create Star and Angel Motifs. The stitches used are my own stitch design, the Lilac Cluster Stitch, and the Pansy Stitch.

Inside the premium crochet pattern you will find my step-by-step picture tutorials and video tutorials to help you every step of the way.

The wrap crochet pattern comes with One Size instructions, but there is information inside that pattern that makes it easily customizable to fit your style, size, and color(s).

I used Knit Picks Brava Sport Weight Yarn in 2 colors, gray and white. I used: 800 yds in White and 560 yds in Gray.

Ad-Free Premium Copy

The O Holy Night Wrap Crochet Pattern can be found at all of my stores, for a small fee, if you would like to get a copy and make one for yourself or family or friends.

My Voice about Period Poverty

In May I added my voice about period poverty across Africa and the United States in my blog post about Yarn for Menstrual Health  It is a campaign started Morine of Morine’s Shop and the African Girl Foundation.  #YarnForMenstrualHealth is an awareness campaign whose aim is to normalize conversation on menstrual health.  My story as a young girl who knew nothing about menses or how to pay for sanitary napkins hit home when I seen the article that LoveCrafts did last year.

This post contains affiliate links.  If you make a purchase using these links I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.)

#YarnForMenstrualHealth also raise funds to equip girls in need with reusable sanitary kits. Each kit goes for $10 and consists of 4 reusable pads and washing soap to last every girl an entire year!

Be sure to sign up for my Newsletter while you are here at my website.  As a new subscriber you will receive $3 off to be used at my Ravelry store, news about blog posts, upcoming sales, new free crochet patterns, giveaways and more!

 

[yikes-mailchimp form=”1″]

 

What does this have to do with Crochet, you ask??  Her group would knit and crochet 1000 hats to create awareness regarding the unhygienic circumstances most school girls across Kenya endure during their menses. I decided to raise funds to help this organization by designing a beanie, the Wattle Stitch Beanie, and donation part of the sale proceeds to the #YarnforMenstrualHealth campaign.

Wattle Stitch Beanie

 

 

 

I decided to add my voice about period poverty.   I will be speaking out about what I went through went I first started my period and how periods were never mentioned in a household full of 8 women and young girls.  I never seen any sanitary napkins and my family never taught me about what to expect when I first got my period either.  I want to add my voice about period poverty because I lived in a household of 25 people because we didn’t have the resources as a family of 3 to live by ourselves.  You can read more of my story on my website.

 

I was approached by Morine last week to add my voice about period poverty, the Voices by AGF event that is running from October 11, 2021 until November 2021.  I will be going live on the African Girls Foundation Instagram page, @africangirlfoundation October 19, 2021 to tell my story and to share more about myself and my crochet business.  I will be going live at 12p EST to talk and then I will stay on their Instagram page to answer any questions and reply to other people’s stories.  You can find me at the African Girls Foundation’s Instagram from 12p – 5p on October 19, 2021.

 

 

Again, I will be going live at 12p EST to talk and then I will stay on their Instagram page to answer any questions and reply to other people’s stories.  You can find me at the African Girls Foundation’s Instagram from 12p – 5p on October 19, 2021.  So please be sure to stop by.

Christmas Star Ornaments Free Crochet Pattern

With the holidays right around the corner I want to share with you the Christmas Star Ornaments Free Crochet Pattern.  Some people have started making their Christmas items.  I got to say I am actually ahead of my designing phase!  🙂

This post contains affiliate links.  If you make a purchase using these links I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.)

 

Usually I am running behind on my holiday designs.  I have gotten a little bit better about doing my pattern testing before everyone gets started on their Christmas gifts and designs.   But, I am designing Fall and Christmas Circle Table Runners right now.  The Fall one is definitely a lot late, so that will have to wait until next year.  🙂

I designed a baby blanket for the 2nd year of the Preemie Crochet Challenge 2021, hosted by Sunflower Cottage Crochet.  The pattern is called Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Baby Blanket and I used stars in the design. You can find free and paid crochet patterns for the last 2 years of preemie crochet challenges.  I decided to use the star pattern for these cute little Christmas Ornaments.  There is no gauge to follow.  You can use these mini designs for gift giving, gift decorations, stocking stuffers and more!  You can use any type of yarn you like when crocheting these stars.  

If you prefer you can find Step-by-Step picture tutorials and different versions of the stars inside the Ad-Free PDF crochet pattern.
