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.
Information Needed
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.
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)

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” 16 st x 8 rows = 4” 6 Shells x 8 Rows = 4” ********************************************************
Jaide Wrap Crochet Pattern:

Have you ever done something for someone else that made you feel really good? Or because you knew it would help make a little girl feel really special?
Here’s a little back story about how I got involved with Wigs for Kids.
I was loosing my hair a few years ago. I was SO upset and going crazy. I didn’t want to go anywhere, have anyone see me, I was so self conscious. Eventually, I found out it was one of my medications. I stopped taking it, got help from my adopted daughter, Vicki, and slowly my hair started growing back.
After about a year, I went to a beauty salon to get my hair leveled out and I saw a sign advertisement for Wigs for Kids. I asked the beautician what that was about and she gave me the details.
My experience was so traumatic that I wanted to do something to help because I could just imagine how a little girl losing her hair would feel. After I seen the advertisement I let my hair grow out, and when it got long enough, I donated it to Wigs for Kids. When I sent my hair to them, I asked it there was any way to see how my donation helped. I got to see a picture of a little girl who got just a little of my hair helped out! That was one of the best feelings ever! I just donated my hair again about a year ago. So you can see why this cause is very close to my heart
I joined Melanie Jane of Simply Melanie Jane in her Crochet Business Hop for Charity because I wanted to do more to help little girls feel special. Melanie Jane has joined with 12 other crochet designers to raise money for the Wigs for Kids organization. Her goal is to raise $1,800 to support this organization.
Melanie’s hop is a little different from most blog hops. Each day she is spotlighting a crochet designer, sharing what it is that the do and letting you know how they are helping raise money for the drive. The spotlighted designers are offering discounts and donating part of the proceeds to the Wigs for Kids charity drive.
You can check out the other designers beings spotlighted by clicking the button below.

The O Holy Night Wrap was designed specifically for the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop I collaborated in. This blog hop was hosted by Fosbas Designs and was sponsored by WeCrochet and KnitPicks.
The story behind this pattern comes from the Christmas song you hear during the Christmas season, ‘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!”
The stitches used in the pattern will create the stars and angels motifs from the lyrics of the song. I hope you enjoy crocheting the O Holy Night Wrap.

Below you will also find the inspiration behind the Christmas Angels Square found in my O Holy Night Wrap.
The O Holy Night Wrap was designed specifically for the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop I collaborated in. This blog hop was hosted by Fosbas Designs and was sponsored by WeCrochet and KnitPicks. The story behind this pattern comes from the Christmas song you hear during the Christmas season, ‘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!”
The stitches used in the pattern will create the stars and angels motifs from the lyrics of the song. I hope you enjoy crocheting the O Holy Night Wrap. You can grab yourself a copy of the crochet pattern at LoveCrafts or my Ravelry Store.

Below you will find the tips for selling at a crafts or vendor shows.
There is something really exciting about selling in person. You get to meet your customers face to face and find out exactly what they like about your products. Also, you can answer all the questions they have and persuade them to buy something.
However, if you are new to selling at a craft show and you have no idea how to go about it, we are about to show you how with these simple steps.
For handmade crocheted creations and helpful tips and resources, visit Jo’s Crafty Hook!
Check out the competition
First, take a look at the trade shows, feel their vibe, and get an idea of what people do and what booths are getting the most traffic. If you already have something to sell, survey your specific niche and see how they compare.
Visit as many shows as possible and note these; The type of products on sale. Will your product fit in or stand out? The quality of the products. Do you offer the same, poor or better quality than what’s available? The price of the products. How have you priced yourself?
Boost your business knowledge
If you want to run a profitable business, an MBA degree can prepare you for success and teach you skills in operations management, marketing, communication, and more. Online programs allow you to continue to earn as you learn so you can still manage your business responsibilities.
Find the right show for your product
If you are selling food at a jewelry or art show, you will not move anything since that’s not your audience. Being at the right show is important because buyers are coming specifically for your products.
Search by joining communities within your area, search for websites online, and discover the right audience to suit what you are selling.
Decide your budget
Ensure you evaluate how much you might spend, then decide on how to price your product. In most cases, you may get people trying to bargain, so ensure that you account for this in your budgeting to avoid losses.
However, if it is your first show, you might not be sure of what to expect. Try and get someone to share a booth with or seek advice from experienced sellers in your industry. Also, ensure that you’re ready for the tax season by keeping accurate sales records.
Brand your booth
Seeing that you already have products ready for market means that you have an established brand. Therefore, how you present yourself is important. Take your time and think about the message you are about to convey to your buyers.
Your booth must be perfect for making a good first impression. Are your products hand-made or ethically sourced? This is a piece of important information that your clients should know. Also, have business cards printed for clients who’ll be interested in more business.
Think about the bigger picture
Your full efforts may go in to ensure that the day runs smoothly, but it is also a great opportunity to take advantage of future-making efforts. During this time, talk to your customers and ask them to leave their email addresses so that you can send updates, offers, and new products or new music.
However, if you are struggling to get people to leave their contact details, think about running a giveaway, so they have a reason to leave you their email. Take photos of your booth, products and consenting customers for use on your social media pages.
Offer customized merchandise
There is a wide range of hand-crafted merchandise or vintage collectibles that sell very well at craft shows. But many buyers show interest in products that can be customized with a personalized name, message or initial.
Most trade show enthusiasts show interest in special occasion gifts. Hence, shows are a great space for potential customers looking for a perfect gift for loved ones.
Selling at a crafts show as a first-timer can be a bit of a hustle. For a successful experience, research, seek advice and make sure you are well prepared before launching your products. Also, ensure that at the end of the day you get permanent clients from the show.

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.

You can even customize this crochet pattern for women too!

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.

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 “
