Crochet

These are some of my easy crochet projects. Enjoy!

Crochet Flowers:

In this project, I used shell stitch. These flowers are so easy and quick to make and is a suitable project for anyone, even a beginner. They are very useful. You can turn them into bookmarks or you can even sew, glue, or Velcro them onto hats, scarves, shirts, jackets, pants and so much more!

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn (color of your choice)
• Crochet hook size H (5.00mm)

Abbreviations to know for this project:

• dc = double crochet
• sl st = slip stitch
• ch = chain 
• rep = repeat

Instructions:

• ch 10
• join 1st ch to last ch with sl st
• work 3 dc in first ch from the hook
• sl st in next ch
• *shell stitch in next ch (shell stitch = 3 or 4 dc in same ch)
• sl st in next ch from the hook*
• rep steps between the 2 * until you go all the way around the circle
• tie off and enjoy!

 Popcorn Bracelet:

In this project I used the popcorn stitch. This bracelet is very pretty and is perfect for gifts or just for yourself. This is a project for intermediate to advanced crocheters. 

Materials: 

• Worsted weight yarn (color of your choice)
• Hook size H (5.00mm)
• Sewing needle and thread (I used black thread, but white will work too)
• Small button of your choice (I just used a simple white button but a fancier one will work too, as long as it's not too big)

Abbreviations to know for this project: 

• dc = double crochet
• pc = popcorn stitch
• ch = chain
• rep = repeat

Instructions: 

• make a ch long enough to securely wrap once completely around your wrist (my ch was 20 stitches long)
• add 4 more ch to your total of ch
• in the 4th ch from the hook work a dc
• *ch 1 and work 5 dc into the next ch
• remove the loop from the hook and work your hook into the previous ch you made
• work the hook back through the loop and pull the loop through the ch you should still have on the hook*
• rep the steps between the * all the way down the ch until you only have 2 ch remaining (the steps between the 2 * show how to do 1 pc)
• do 1 dc in the last 2 ch and tie off
• sew a button onto the right side of your bracelet
• tie off and enjoy!
