Long Stalks Placemat

Long Stalks Placemat

The Long Stalks Placemat crochet pattern uses a crochet stitch I designed recently. It is called the triple crochet box stitch. 

The Triple Crochet Box Stitch can be called the Triple Crochet X Stitch or the Triple Crochet Crossover Stitch.  The design is a take of the Double Crochet X Stitch, it just uses triple crochet instead.

 

Triple Crochet Box Stitch or Triple Crochet X Stitch

 

Triple Crochet Box Stitch can be found on my YouTube Channel.

Boxy Bulky Cowl

I originally created the Triple Crochet Box Stitch for the Boxy Bulky Cowl.  I wanted a longer stitch because I was using a #6 ply Bulky Yarn.   I wanted to give the cowl a nice textured stitch that would create a drape to the cowl.

Most cowls are designed for a tighter stitch because most of them are worn to keep the chill out.  Since I was using a bulkier yarn, I wanted something that wouldn’t cause the wearer to get too hot.

If you would like to try the Triple Crochet Boxy Stitch with a heavier yarn, like Paintbox Yarns Simply Super Chunky, you can find the premium crochet patterns at my Ravelry Store or LoveCrafts or at my Etsy Shop.

Angela Ader of Nine Inspired shares her Roxy Retro Circle Bag.  The circle bag combines vintage and modern when using the granny square circle design.  You can use your scrap yarn as well when crocheting the Roxy Retro Circle Bag.

 

 

Ashley Edmonds of Through The Loop Yarn Craft shares her Hampton Handbag.  Ashley uses 24/7 cotton yarn from Lion Brand in designing this handbag.  Ashley also uses the Herringbone Half Double Crochet stitch to bring definition to her Hampton Handbag.

Ashley Parker of the Loopy Lamb shares her Bobblelicious Bag.  As you can tell by the name Ashley uses the Bobble Stitch.  In designing her bag, she uses Chunky yarn to make those Bobbles stand out!  She also uses a beautiful teal color cotton liner inside of the Bobblelicious Bag.

Lisa has another free crochet pattern on her website for a adorable Zebra Coin Purse.  .This adorable pattern can be made in 3 hours.  The Zebra Coin Purse is big enough to hold credit cards, money, drivers licenses and more.

Whitney Dunning of Pine Tree Crochet shares another free handbag crochet pattern, the Grab and Go Clutch.  This bag uses the Moss Stitch to create the beautiful design.  The Grab and Go Clutch uses very little yarn, so you can use those scraps of yarn you have laying around.

Grab and Go Clutch

 

My free crochet pattern I am sharing is for my Sharon Bag.  I designed this bag for my mom, Sharon, so she could carry around her iPad.  In designing my handbag I used Cables/Braids using the Front Post and Back Post Double Crochet.  The Sharon Bag is worked in the round going into both sides of your starting chain.  There are 2 sizes to choose from, Small and Large.

In the Herringbone Crochet Set you will find 3 sizes to choose from:  Teen, Small & Large Adult.  The good thing about this crochet pattern is that it can be customized to fit your style, size, and color!  The stitch count is a multiple of 6, so it you want to make a smaller or larger size, you can use the multiple of 6.

As I stated above, the Herringbone Beanie and Cowl Set Crochet Pattern is a Unisex crochet pattern.  My husband and I modeled the set, so as you can see it fits men and women.  You will find some wonderful versions from my testers of the set at the bottom of this post.

Repeat R2-R3 until hat measures 6 – 6.5”  ( 6.5 – 7” or 7 – 7.5”) inches, including the Brim.  Move on to Decrease Rows.

Leave a long tail of 6-10 inches for weaving the top of the hat closed.  You will weave the top of the Beanie closed by using your Tapestry Needle.  

You will go into the 2 loops created by the dc using the long tail you have left.  You will go back and forth weaving the long tail between the 2 loops until you reach the end.  

At the end you will pull the long tail tight, closing the top of the Beanie.  Pull tight and go into the 1st st and create a knot, tying off the long tail.   

If you are having trouble here is the YouTube Video Tutorial showing the process.   

Fasten off and weave in ends.
