With any season in mind the Triple Vee Scarf Crochet Pattern is the perfect accessory to any weather’s wardrobe.  It has a nice airy stitch.  It uses Fingering Weight Yarn and a nice big Double Treble Crochet or the Triple Stitch as I like to call it.

Even though this pattern doesn’t use basic stitches, any beginner can do it.  I have Video Tutorials to help anyone along the way if they are not familiar with the Foundation Double Crochet, Alternate Chain 2 or 3, and the Double Treble Crochet.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Attaching the Pockets

With the right side of your shawl facing you and the right side of your pockets facing you, center each pocket near the bottom of your shawl’s short sides.  

I used a Diamond as a reference and center over 1 Diamond with the Diamond rows centered in the Pocket.  If your Shawl is too big, center your pocket over your middle rows.

Sew the pockets onto your shawl using the whipstitch or whichever stitch you prefer to sew on pockets.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Pocket Full of Diamonds Shawl

Fringe

Optional

Step 1:  For each space you are going to place your fringe, cut three 14” pieces of yarn.  I place mine 2” apart.  

Step 2:  With the right side of your shawl facing you, line up the short end in front of you on a flat surface.  

Step 3:  Fold 3 pieces of yarn in half and line up their ends. Use your hook to pull their center down into a space at the very bottom of your shawl’s short side.

 

Step 4:  With the pieces still on your hook, loop all the ends over your hook, and pull them through.  

Repeat Steps 1-4 on both short ends of your shawl.

Trim your fringe so tassels are even across the bottom of your shawl.

That’s it!

R17:  Turn, ch 1, sc in the same st and in each st around.  (32 sc) Ss in 1st st to join. Fasten off. These 2 rounds created a cuff that you can fold down, if you prefer.

JOANN Stores
(Optional)  Finishing Stocking:
Here you will be making your “Loop” that you use to attach the ornament to the tree or whatever you will be hanging it from.  I chained 5 which makes a small “Loop” for me to attach the mini stocking ornament to my tree but you can chain as many as you like.

After you join on Round 16 ch 1, sc in same st, ch 5, and sc in same st.

Fasten off and weave in loose ends with Tapestry Needle.

Congratulations!  You now have a 4 inch Mini Stocking Ornament.

Nellie Poncho

The Nellie Poncho Free Crochet Pattern has 5 sizes to choose from, so I am sure you can crochet this for yourself or any woman/teen in your life!  Also in this crochet pattern you will find picture and video tutorials on how to crochet the N Stitch and on how to sew your 2 panels together.

This Nellie Poncho can be warn in any season no matter where you are in the world.  It is perfect for those chilly Spring days, those chilly Summer evenings, in the crispy Fall air, and of course in those cold Winter seasons.

  4. You can use your crochet hook to pull the loops through the edges of the Poncho and then thread the fringe through the loop.  Pull tight to create your knot.  Make sure to pull the loop in the same direction.  This helps all of your knots to match.

Attach yarn in any stitch along the Neck Opening, slip stitch, chain 1 and sc in the same stitch.  sc in each stitch around.

For a Smaller Neck Opening, add 2-3 more rows of Single Crochet.

Twisted Twizzle Set Crochet Pattern

The Twisted Twizzler Set crochet pattern is a great crochet pattern if you LOVE doing Cables/Braids like I do.  If you do then this set is perfect for you!  If you haven’t had much practice with Cables, that’s ok too!  I have supplied Video Tutorials to help you crochet the stitches used in this set!

In this post the Twisted Twizzler Set contains a hat and a scarf crochet pattern.  The crochet patterns for the hat and scarf have multiple sizes, so you can do one for each member of your family and friends.  The hat and scarf sizes range from newborn to adult large.  This crochet pattern is part of my Twisted Line of Head Gear, where all the crochet patterns are unisex, which means that the finished items can be worn by men and women.

 

You can find all of the crochet patterns in my Twisted Line of Head Gear at any of the locations below:

Nellie Summer Tee Crochet Pattern

My crochet pattern testers fell in LOVE with the N-Stitch just like I did!  I would LOVE to give them a BIG shout out because they worked really hard on this design.  There were many hiccups because of the trying times we are in right now.  There were yarn delivery delays, finding time to finish the test, and just trying to function during these troubled times.

I appreciate EVERY single one of them!  They are Jolanta Urb, Anita Reinisch, L. Holly George, and Laina Mann Malcolm.  Below are their versions of the Nellie Summer Tee.

R3 (WS):  Ch 1, sc in the same st and each st across.  Turn

R4 – 67 (73, 73, 79, 79, 83, 83, 89, 95):  Repeat R2 & R3 or until you reach your corresponding length.  22 (24, 24, 26, 26, 28, 28, 30, 32)

Leave a long tail for sewing shoulders closed.

Sides:

  • Lay Right Sides of the panels facing each other.  
  • Use the Table at the top of the pattern for the size of your Armholes.  I measured from the top of the panels and placed Stitch Markers where you will stop when sewing sides closed.
  • Start at the bottom of the panels and sew the sides together using the Whip Stitch, or Mattress Stitch until you get to the Armholes.  
  • If you would like more room at the hips, leave a 2”-4” slit at the  bottom on each size of the Panels.  I made a 2” slits.

Shoulders:

  • Using the Table at the top of the pattern, find the size of the neck hole opening.  
  • Place your Stitch Marker where you want to stop the opening on both sides of the top.
  • Sew the panels together using the Whip Stitch or whichever method you prefer to sew the shoulders closed.
