Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs

The Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs crochet pattern uses a stitch I fell in love with a couple of years ago, the Sedge Stitch.

As a crochet designer I try to incorporate new crochet stitches in my newer designs.  But, I recently saw the Sedge Stitch and remembered I used it in a couple of my previous designs.  I used the Sedge Stitch in my Messy Bun and Beanie crochet pattern and my Rugged Slopes Cowl crochet pattern.  

The Sedge Stitch is an easy stitch to do because all it consists of is a single crochet and 2 double crochet all in the same stitch.

Inside this post you will find a free crochet pattern for my Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs for 9″ wide by 4″ in height.

You can find the premium crochet patterns for my Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs, Rugged Slopes Messy Bun and Beanie; and Rugged Slopes Cowl at my Ravelry Store.

Inside the Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs premium crochet pattern, there are 5 different sizes to choose from based on the width of your calf and the height you prefer to do.

There are also step-by-step picture tutorials to help you figure out your width and how the other steps you may need to crochet your boot cuffs.

You can purchase the premium copy of the Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs to find the right size for you from my Ravelry Store for a small fee.  Click the button below to get a copy of the Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs.

Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan CAL

Welcome to my Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan CAL!!  The Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan CAL starts today, May 10th and runs until May 31, 2022.  This is a FREE Crochet-a-Long and we will be making a Throw Size Afghan.

 

 

 

Thank you for your interest in my Mae’s Flowers Crochet Pattern.  This is a project that has been in the works for over 25 years.  My gram started making these flowers for an Afghan back in 1994.  I inherited the Afghan when she passed away about 20 years ago.  It moved from house to house, taken out every once in a while, and I always said I was going to finish it and I have.

I decided I would write out the steps she did and turn it into a crochet pattern.  I took the flowers apart to learn the stitches she used, so I could make my own.  This pattern is dedicated to Gram.  She was a very important part of my life.   I hope you enjoy making the Mae’s Flowers too!  

 

You can now purchase the Mae’s Flower Garden Crochet Pattern for $3 at my Ravelry Store.  Inside the PDF copy of the Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan crochet pattern there are a lot of extra goodies for Right & Left Handed crocheters.

  • 2 Sizes to Choose from – Throw or Lapghan
  • Step-by-Step Picture Tutorials
  • Video Tutorials of Flowers and Assembly

 

There will also be a Contest with Prizes!!  See how you can enter below!!

Throughout the month of May there will be Sneak Peeks of the beautiful WIPs from my testers!  There will be their versions of their Flowers and Afghans!  You will also find out below how YOUR WIPs can be added to my website each week!!

At the end of the Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan CAL I will have a BIG REVEAL!!  I will be revealing the finished versions of mine and my testers’ afghans!  You can even get YOUR versions added to the BIG REVEAL!!

The CAL will be in 3 stages.  I will add the crochet patterns for each stage using the schedule below:

 

May 10-16 
Flower Pattern

May 17-23
Connectors Pattern

May 24-31
Assembly


The afghan can be made in a solid color or a variety of colors as you like.  The flowers use such a small amount of yarn that you can use up ALL of that Scrap Yarn you have laying around!


**CONTEST & PRIZES**

I will be having a Contest and Prizes!  The way for you to enter the contest is to share YOUR works in progress each week, by Monday 10p EST.  So be sure to share your WIPs each week, starting Tuesday May 17, 2022 inside my Facebook Group Jo’s Crafty Hook-ers.  Prizes you could WIN will be revealed during Week 2 of the CAL.

Acacia Headband Free Crochet Pattern

Today’s I am sharing with you my Acacia Headband Free Crochet Pattern.  Each year it seems like I learn a new stitch and fall in love with it so much that I design multiple crochet patterns using that stitch.  The Acacia Headband uses the stitch that I recently fell in love with.

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

 

 

The Wattle Stitch is the one I learned last year and fell in love with.  I have used it to design a beanie, a cowl, a skirt, a clutch and now a headband.  Of course I have a couple more in the works.  🙂

You can find the Acacia Headband crochet patterns along with 26 other crochet designers and their new and favorite Spring designs at my Spring into Spring 2022 Roundup.

 

 

 

I want to thank my pattern testers for all of their help in making the Acacia Headband crochet pattern the best it can be.  Thank you Kami Jones, Kit Haverland, Ali Haas, Jennifer Smith and Tammy Alexander.

I was updating some of my earlier crochet when I came across the stitch I fell in love with when I was first designing, the Tulip Stitch.  I had some beautiful yarn I bought at a fiber fair that I was chomping at the bit to use, so I used that here with my Jaide Wrap. 

I used Custom Yarn by Knitting on the Fringe. (Skein Weight:75g/2.64 oz
Yardage/Meters: 200 meters/217 yards)

 

Materials:
US G Crochet Hook or 4 mm
217 yards of # 2 Fine Yarn or Sports Weight Yarn
Scissors
Tapestry Needle

Stitches Used/Abbreviations:
dc – double crochet
sc – single crochet
ch – chain
alt ch 2 – alternate chain 2
fsc – foundation single crochet
sk – skip
rem – remaining

Special Stitches:
Shell = (2 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) all in the same stitch.
Foundation Single Crochet – is where you create the starting chain plus a row of single crochet all at one time.

Special Notes:

My yarn was handmade.  With the different weights of 2 Fine Yarn or Sport Weight Yarn it may make your gauge a little different from mine.  You can try going up or down a hook size to meet the gauge.

Video Tutorials:
foundation single crochet – Left Handed
foundation single crochet – Right Handed
alternate chain 2 – Left Handed
alternate chain 2 – Right Handed

Finished Size:  14” x 64”

Pattern Notes:
Pattern is written in U.S. Crochet Terms
beginning chain 3 counts as the 1st dc
alt ch 2 counts as the 1st dc
alt ch 2 takes the place of a double crochet and counts as your 1st dc.  It is used to create a cleaner edge.
Row count is a multiple of 3
Due to different yarn types, the gauge may be off.  Try going up or down a hook size to meet gauge.

Gauge:
US G Crochet Hook or 4 mm
18 st x 8 rows = 4”
6 Shells x 8 Rows = 4”

Gauge Swatch:  4” x 4″

R1:  ch 19, sc in 2nd ch from and each rem st across.  turn (18 sc)

R2:  alt ch 2 (or ch 3) in the 1st st, *sk 2 st, shell in the next st (see instructions above) repeat  from * across until the last 3 st, sk 2 st and dc in the last st.  turn

R3:  alt ch 2 (or ch 3) in the 1st st, shell in the next dc, *sk 4 st, shell in the next st* Repeat from * across until the last dc, dc in the last dc.  turn

R4-R9:  Repeat R2-R3 

 

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

 

Customizing:

Width: 
To create a wider wrap (short rows) add multiples of 3.  The basic width of a wrap is 14” – 18”

Length:
Use your Height plus 4” – 8” to reach your desired length by continuing to repeat R2 & R3.

4 st x 2 rows = 1”
8 st x 4 rows = 2”
12 st x 6 rows = 3”
