Crochet "Chat"

Thanks for the rose pattern bleenie! Here is a basket I made this morning for my WIPs,

I like that! I have a basket pattern I want to try and I guess I'd better get on that. Thanks for reminding me.

So cute!

I did what I call a Teen Necessaries Clutch. The pattern had to be tweaked, was too slouchy for my taste, so I seamed the top edges at the ends a bit, added two smaller permanent buttons, made the strap twice as long as it called for and added SC edging to that as well. It will hold a wallet, some makeup items and cellphone, all most teens seem to carry and the strap goes across the body. Interior space goes all the way to both ends. Measures about 13" long by 5" tall.

You know, I'm hooked on cowls. They are perfect, better than a scarf, in winter, while doing barn chores. They keep your neck and even depending on their width, your mouth and nose covered, while cleaning the coop and don't trail in the shavings and poop when you're bending over. I love them! I made a matching cowl and fingerless gloves for myself. These are the gloves. The cowl is about 11" wide and fairly short around so it stays up close around the neck.

There are numerous patterns online for wristers/fingerless gloves, but that one isn't really a pattern. A military wife named Melanie who goes by iheartstitching on youtube did one on making a simple set of wristers with half double crochets. I used her idea then added single crochet edging on three sides and a shell edge on top. At least, that's for this pair. I have done other types as well, but this one is super fast and easy with just a slit for the thumb rather than building up an actual thumb hole like these I did from a different pattern.








If you go to the yarn manufacturer sites, like Red Heart, Caron or Lion Brand, they have numerous patterns for different ones. Or just go to Allfreecrochet.com and they have lots of patterns for just about anything you want to make.
