Oak Leaf Crochet Pattern

A few weeks ago, I showed you this autumn garland I had just made. When I got the idea, I searched around and just couldn't find an oak leaf pattern that I liked. So I made up my own. I've never written a crochet pattern before, and I would so love it if you crocheters out there would pull out your hooks and try this pattern out to see if it makes sense. And give me feedback of course about the parts that are confusing or just plain wrong. I used size 10 pearl cotton and a USA size 7 steel hook. When I get the acorn pattern worked out just right, I'll post it as well.

Crochet Oak Leaf (appr. 2" long)

ch 15; sc in 2nd ch from hook; sc in each ch to end (14 sc).

ch 7; sc in first sc going down the other side; sc in next 2 sc

(ch 7, sc in same sp as last sc; sc in next 2 sc); repeat once

ch 9, sc in same sp as lst sc. ch 1. turn.

In ch9 loop work: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, 3tr, 2dc, 1 hdc, 1sc; sc in next 2 sc.

In ch 7 loop work: 1 sc, hdc, 2dc, 1tr, 2dc, hdc, 1sc. sc in each of next 2 sc.

In ch7 loop, work: 1sc, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1sc. sc in next 2 sc.

In top chain 7 loop work: 1sc, 1hdc, 1dc, 3tr, 1dc, 1hdc, 1sc.

(sc in next 3sc. ch 7, sc in same space as last sc) repeat once.

sc in next 2 sc. ch 9, sc in same sp as lst sc. ch 1; turn.

In ch9 loop work: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 2 dc, 3tr, 2dc, 1 hdc, 1sc; sc in next 2 sc.

In ch7 loop work: 1sc, 1hdc, 2dc, 1tr, 2dc, 1hdc, 1sc; sc in each of next 2 sc.

In ch7 loop, work: 1sc, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1sc; sc in next 2 sc.

sl st in next sc. fasten off. With a large needle, sew in your ends. Iron to flatten and shape.

Let me know how this works out, ok? Thanks!http://bobbilewin.blogspot.com/2010/08/oak-leaf-crochet-pattern.html

So Cute on a Little Hat!!!

You can use any yarn with appropriate size hook for this. The yarn type & hook size will determine the finished size of the chick. The yellow one is made with worsted weight yarn & a 5mm hook. The finished size is 2.75 inches beak to tail & 2.5 inches top to bottom.

Here is the basic technique.
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
hdc = half double crochet
trc = triple crochet
quadc = quadruple crochet, yo 3 times, insert hook into st, pull up loop, yo pull through 2 loop 4 times
pentc = penta crochet, yo 4 times, insert hook into st, pull up loop, yo pull through 2 loops 5 times

Sorry for the weird names of quadc & pentc, but I don't know the names of these stitches, so I called them what made sense to me. Does anyone know their official name? Couldn't find it on google.

R1 - 10 sc in a magic loop. If you don't know how to crochet in a magic loop you can watch a video here. Tighten your magic loop but do not join with a slip stitch as you may be accustomed to doing. Instead just make the first stitch on the second round in the first sc of the first round.

R2 - 2sc in the first st (you may want to mark the first sc with a stitch marker), sc in 2nd, hdc then dc in 3rd, 2dc in 4th and 5th, 2sc in 6th, sc then dc in 7th, 2 trc in 8th, 2 quadc in 9th, 2 quadc in 10th. Again do not join.

R3 - Now your next stitch should be the first sc of the second round. In this stitch do 2 quadc & 1 pentac. Ch1, sl st in the same space (this will give a tiny point to the tail feathers). Now sl st down the side of the pentc going right to left. Join when you meet up with the next stitch. It will look like this.

Now you should see the shape of the chick, but the tail part has such long stitches that it doesn't hold together. So, tie off leaving a long tail to sew with. Flip the chick over and sew up and down the backs of all those stitches. You will see little loops going up the back of each stitch.

Sew up and down under these little loops in rows to secure your stitches together.

For the eye sew a french knot between the 7th & 8th stitch of the second round. I first sewed a small straight stitch between the two catching a few threads from each and then sewed the french knot into the straight stitch to give it something to hold on to.

For the beak - join beak yarn in the 10th stitch of the second row. sc in the same stitch. fasten off and weave ends.

Hope you enjoy making these chickies! If you do please let me know! I'd love to see pic's! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask in comments or email me at mail.oodles4noodles@gmail.com

Кружевные аппликации «Зверюшки»

Мне очень нравится вязать всякие мелкие штучки крючком. Это быстро, захватывающе и интересно.

Вязаные аппликации, которые я нашла на одном японском сайте, как раз из их числа. Так и хочется сразу взять и связать. Какие миленькие зверюшки!

Ура! Теперь у меня будет чем украсить детские вещички, кроме стандартных «цветочков-листочков»!

Вот, например, птичка-невеличка.

Схемка к ней.

Вязаные аппликации, кружевные мотивы крючком

Зайчик-попрыгайчик.

Пингвин.

Лебедь.

Рыбка.

Сова на ветке.

Кошка.

Здорово, что не надо дополнительно вышивать в этих аппликациях глазки, носы и т.д. Связал и готово!

Чтобы мотивы держали форму, как на рисунках, лучше всего вязать их из мерсеризованного хлопка.http://moipetelki.ru/blog/dekor/kruzhevnye-applikacii-zveryushki/

"Crinoline Lady Motif"

Motif Crochet lends itself beautifully to many aspects of the home. The designs and colors are both attractive and contemporary. Whether you are making one single motif to decorate a tote bag, towel, pillowcase, or bed sheet, or tackling something more ambitious like a doily or blanket, where many are joined together to create a larger project, you will find there are many patterns to suit your level of expertise. If you are an experienced crocheter or a novice, there is a design for you.

My Crinoline Lady Motif pattern is worked in No. 20 crochet cotton and requires a moderate amount of experience in crocheting. It makes a beautiful decoration for linen, and can also be used as a doily on a little girls dresser. Imagine how delighted your friends or family will feel when they receive a gift from you that has been decorated and personalised so beautifully with this elegant motif.

Little Bear Appliqué /Pin /Fridgie

CROCHET PATTERN
USA Terms / UK Terms

by Linda Z. O'Halloran
May 2010

I couldn't find a little bear appliqué, so I designed one.
They are 3.5 inches long with 3.5mm hook and DK yarn.
With 4.0mm hook and Aran yarn, would be slightly bigger.
Quick and easy.
Something fun to sew onto blankets or clothing to add interest.

Here are the instructions in UK/ Irish terms:

Base Circle for Head and Body...
Round 1. Ch2. Do 6 dc in 1st chain. Pull end to tighten. Join with slip st to 1st dc.
Round 2. Ch1, 2 dc in same st as joining. Do 2 dc in each dc around. (12 dc)
Round 3. Ch1, 2 dc in same st as joining. (dc in next dc, 2dc in next dc) around. Join
                with slip st in first dc. (18 dc)

For Head:
To the above base circle....
Round 4. In next dc make ear.
               Ear = (slip st, ch2, 2 tr, ch2, slip st)
               Then slip st in next 5 dc.
               In next dc make 2nd ear like the 1st. Slip st in next 11 dc.
               Fasten off, but leave a 7 inch length of yarn for joining head to body.
Snout (optional): For a 3-dimensional effect, you can use the length of yarn (left at the beginning)
to make straight stitches radiating from the center...

For Body:
To a 2nd base circle as in Rounds 1-3 above...
Round 4. Ch1, 2 dc in same st as joining. Repeat (1 dc in each of next 2 dc, 2 dc in next dc) around.
                 join with slip st to first dc. (24 dc)

Round 5. Make leg in next 2 dc as follows....
                Leg = (slip st, ch4, ttr) in next dc, then (ttr, ch4, slip st) in next dc.
                  (Note: ttr starts with 3 wraps around hook).
                 Slip st in next 4 dc.  Then make arm in the next 2 dc as follows...
                 Arm = (slip st, ch4, dtr) in next dc, then (dtr, ch4, slip st) in next dc.
                  (Note: dtr starts with 2 wraps around hook).
                 Slip st in next 7 dc.    Make 2nd arm as the 1st.
                 Slip st in next 4 dc. Make 2nd leg as the 1st leg.
                 Slip st in next dc. Join with slip st to first st. Fasten off.

Embroider face with contrasting dark yarn, making 3 french knots for eyes and nose. Make straight lines for mouth.Add pin or magnet or sew onto clothing as you wish.
