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” ********************************************************

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.

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 “

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.

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.

In today’s post I wanted to share with you my Sweet Georgia Clutch Free crochet pattern. I had some really great yarn left over from a testing I took part in a couple of years ago for Knotions Magazine. I didn’t want to waste this gorgeous yarn so I held on to it for awhile! Do you hang on to your scraps of yarn for 2 years or more??
