Summer Convertible Wrap

The Summer Convertible Wrap crochet pattern is a design that has many purposes. The crochet stitches I used in this design create a nice and airy stitch. You can use for those chilly Spring and Summer night; wear it to cover up a bathing suit; or just make it fit your purpose.

The Summer Convertible Wrap Crochet Pattern was designed specifically for the Spring into Summer Blog Hop & Bundle Sale. This event is going on the whole month of May.

This blog hop is being hosted by Itchin’ for Some Stitchin’, Ned & Mimi, and HanJan Crochet. WeCrochet is sponsoring this event by providing yarn used in these great NEVER seen before and hosting a Giveaway!

Information about the Yarn used in the Summer Convertible Wrap

WeCrochet kindly provided me with the yarn that I used in my Summer Convertible Crochet Pattern. The yarn I used was CotLin from KnitPicks. I picked this yarn because I wanted a nice lightweight yarn that was suitable for Spring and Summer. The CotLin met my expectations perfectly. The CotLin yarn from KnitPicks is also a yarn that can be washed over and over again and still hold the shape perfectly.

Fiber Content: 70% Tanguis Cotton, 30% Linen
Weight: DK
Yards: 123
Grams: 50
Care: Machine Washable/Tumble Dry Low

I wanted to use light colors in my wrap that would help to reflect the sun and to make you want to wear it in the warmer Spring and Summer days.

I used the colors Snow White (29492) & Whisper (25328)

As you can see by the picture below the colors Snow White & Whisper do help to reflect the sun. The picture below also shows the nice and airy stitch that will keep you cool in the warmer weather.

Winter Pine Table Runner

During season changes, in certain areas of the world, you can see all of the beautiful pine trees change colors.

I live in NE Ohio and I love to watch as my son’s pine trees change to beautiful colors in each season.

With the Winter Pine Table Runner crochet pattern I want to show off some of the colors of the pine trees I see during the winter seasons.

More information about my Winter Pine Table Runner Crochet Pattern.

I used a filet design to create the pine trees. I added a white border to create a ‘snow like’ affect. I think the white border adds a little something extra to the design.

Inside the crochet pattern there are 5 sizes to choose from to fit any size table. There are 3 panels, showing the different colors of the pine trees. There is also a gauge inside to help you create the perfect size for your table.

Inside the premium crochet pattern you will find picture tutorials to help you see the pine tree repeats; how to add the edging of each panel; how to connect the panels; and how to add the border.

You can find the premium crochet pattern for a small fee at my Ravelry Store

I used 3 colors of KnitPicks 100% Premium Acrylic Yarn. #4 Worsted Weight Yarn. (218 yds / 100 g)

I used Dublin, Avocado, and Green Tea Heather.

You can find these colors and more at KnitPicks.

Double Cross Mobius Cowl

The Double Cross Mobius Cowl crochet is an oversized mobius cowl that is to be wrapped around your neck twice. There are a couple of reasons I named this the Double Cross Mobius Cowl.

The wrapping around your neck twice is how I came up with the first part of it’s name. The other part of the name I chose comes from the Double Crochet Cross Stitch, but with a different twist.

Because I used a thicker bulky yarn from knitpicks I wanted taller stitches in the cowl. The extended double crochet and the extended double crochet cross stitch helped create those taller stitches.

The extended double crochet and extended double crochet cross stitch is an idea that comes from using the Double Crochet Cross Stitch. If you have never crocheted the Double Crochet Cross Stitch, I recommend trying this first. To help you master all of these stitches, I have added 3 of my Left Handed Video Tutorials demonstrating how to crochet each stitch.

The Double Crochet Cross Stitch left handed video tutorial below demonstrates how to crochet this stitch.

The 2nd left handed video tutorial demonstrates how to crochet the Extended Double Crochet.

The 3rd left hand video tutorial I demonstrate how to crochet the stitch I created, the Extended Double Crochet Cross Stitch.

Check out more about the Double Cross Mobius Cowl crochet pattern, sponsored by #wecrochetofficial #wecrochet WeCrochet below.

Information about the Double Cross Mobius Cowl Crochet Pattern.

Material I Used:

MC – 270-400 yds of #7 Bulky Weight Yarn
CC – 230-370 yds of #7 Bulky Weight Yarn
US J Crochet Hook or 6 mm
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Stitch Marker

For the double cross mobius cowl I used KnitPicks Brava yarn

This yarn is a thicker bulky yarn, #7. The yarn is 100% acrylic and the yardage per skein is 136 yds or 100 g

I will definitely be using this yarn again because it is so soft and glides through your fingers like butter!

For my Main Color (MC) I used the color Sienna

For my Contrasting Color (CC) or second color I used Brindle

The Double Crochet Mobius Cowl Crochet Pattern has step-by-step picture tutorials and helpful left handed Video Tutorials for the 3 different stitches I used in making the cowl.

The crochet pattern also has 3 different sizes to choose from; Small, Medium, and Large. Inside the pattern you will also find out how to customize the cowl to fit your style, size, and colors.

If you are interested in trying to make one for yourself or someone you know, you can purchase a premium copy of my Double Cross Mobius Cowl at my Ravelry Store.

If you would like me to make the Double Crochet Mobius Cowl, I do take Custom Orders. I can crochet you or someone you know, your own Handmade Crocheted Creation is your style, size, and color(s) You can email me at j.o@joscraftyhook.com

The pattern has a lot of pieces. They are panels, pockets, and straps that will be sewn together.
