Crochet Note: Men crochet too! And impressively too! Look at this!!!

stevenstitches: doily- see how big this sucker is? I wasn’t happy with it when I made it, but it has grown on me.

Very nice, I would of been proud of it.

Yay for crochet! This proves it is for everybody :)

Some people were asking for written patterns so I did one of them. Then Tumblr went down and I lost the will to live… I’ll probably get around to the first one tomorrow. :-)

Disclaimer: I didn’t create this pattern, just translated it from the chart into written instructions.
Disclaimer 2: I went through it pretty quickly and while I did test it I may have missed something. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I’ll try to help! Have fun!

This is for the 2nd snowflake “97”

To begin: ch 6, join with sl st in first chain (or begin with magic circle, if you prefer)

Rnd 1: Ch 4, (dc, ch 1) into circle 11 times, join with sl st in 3rd beginning chain.
Rnd 2: ch 1, sc in next ch 1 sp, (ch 6, sc in next sp, ch 5, sc in next sp) 5 times, ch 6, sc in next sp, ch 2, dc in first sc
Rnd 3: sc around dc from end of rnd 2, (ch 2, In next ch 6 sp work [2 dc, ch 4, sl st in 1st ch, tr, ch 7, sl st in 1st ch, tr, ch 4, sl st in 1st ch, 2 dc] ch 2, sc in next 5 ch sp) repeat around, ending with a sl st in the first sc made. Fasten off, weave in ends and block/stiffen as necessary.

Edited to add “96”. Disclaimers above apply to this one as well.

To begin: ch 8, join with sl st in first chain (or begin with magic circle, if you prefer)

Rnd 1: ch 3, 23 dc into circle, join with sl st in 3rd beginning ch

Rnd 2: ch 1, sc in next dc, (ch 5, sk dc, sc in next dc) around, ch 2, dc in beginning sc

Rnd 3: sc around dc from rnd 2, (ch 5, puff st in next ch sp, ch 5, sl st in 1st ch, ch 5, sc in next ch sp, ch 4, sl st in 1st ch, sc in same sp) around. End with sc in ch 2 sp, ch 4, sl st in 1st ch, join with sl st in beginning sc. Fasten off, weave in ends and block/stiffen as necessary.

This one was a little trickier as I couldn’t find that special symbol anywhere and I don’t know the language, but I took an educated guess. Your mileage may vary. :-D

Reblogging for both charts being translated to pattern now.

Hey guys.

Hey.

Show of hands - who HATES that awful Lion Brand Homespun nonsense they call yarn?

you know…

Guess what! THAT IS WHAT I SPUN THIS FROM!

Before you start waving torches and pitchforks and screaming for me to be burned at the stake for sorcery - it can be done super easily! I use it to practice with my drop spindle instead of the expensive fiber. Plus, it comes out shiny and soft - totally worth the $1 and time.

Just cut the “yarn” into 2 or 3 foot lengths, whatever you are comfortable with, and pull out all the strings. What is left is fluffy acrylic fiber! Just spin from there.

When it comes time to wind off and set the twist, be aware that it is acrylic. For singles - I find it is best to take a steamer to the yarn while it is tensioned on my swift or niddy noddy. If you plied it and feel it isn’t balanced or still has too much twist, do the same thing. It works, I promise!

ERMAGERD.

Octopus sweater.
A project that became bigger than planned.

This is so glorious and wonderful and I want the pattern so bad
