The firs of our flower ides, an afghan square pattern is easy, but just difficult enough to challenge the beginner and produces a beautiful motif that can be worked into an afghan, throw or blanket. The square is 9 inches to a side and is made in three shades of worsted weight yarn and an H hook. You can vary the size by changing the weight of the yarn, the hook size and yarn tension.
The first of our new year project ideas is easy and fun. To summarize, to make this Happy New Year Mandala, you will need 4-5 colors of yarn and a 50 cm (20″) ring. In particular, I love the alternating bands of colors and textures
However, in order to build a flower blanket, you also need flower ideas. So, here is the pattern for the basal building block, a Frida flower on a black, hexagonal background. Overall, it's both colorful and elegant, a rare combination. To summarize, Frida’s flowers are a well known motif. Nevertheless, they are still one of the greatest themes for crocheting.
Next, our flower ideas encompass this beautiful standalone flower. Indeed, either as a decoration or an applique, it will be perfect to ring in spring.
The original pattern and the photos are available at Tanoshiimajo on Instagram:
Of course, the easiest Easter projects will also include appliques. Consequently, here are some you can apply to crocheted, cloth and woven surfaces. Furthermore, you can also stick them onto hard surfaces, such as a wall, window or another item. Finally, you can use them as hanging ornaments in Easter displays. There is really no end to the possibilities.
"The construction of this elegant shawl is simple and a great intro to working short rows. First, the trim is made then the body of the shawl is added by working in short rows. The shawl is extra long and almost scarf-like. This makes it easy to wrap and keep on. It's also very versatile because you can wear it several different ways. Let it drape like a normal shawl or wrap it round and round to look more like a cowl."
"The Marielle Lace Shawl crochet pattern was designed for the Scarf of the Month Club. This lacy and elegant design is easily worn casual or for dressier occassions. This would be a perfect compliment to a Summer wedding! The Marielle Lace Shawl crochet pattern was written from the longest width, down to the point. The pattern itself is a one row repeat. It couldn't be easier to memorize! Before you know it you can zoom through a shawl during your favorite movie! "
"Today's free crochet pattern is the Kaylee Sideways Shawl which features a very easy stitch design. The stitch used for this shawl only uses single and double crochet and chain stitches to create a mesh effect running all the way through the shawl. When i first started this shawl i did think this might take a while to do just because of the single crochet stitches but actually i made it in no time at all and it only used 4 skeins of cascade 220 in aran which is really good! Also when crocheting this shawl i only crocheted 66 inches in length because i could just tell due to the stitches that it was going to stretch quite a bit when blocking and boy did it, it went from 66 inches to 75 inches in length which is a lot of growth! So just bear that in mind when crocheting this shawl it is a grower, you really don't want it too long."
"Today's free crochet shawl pattern is the Grace Shawl, this shawl pattern is very similar to the Fantasia Shawl with it's shell design and mesh stitches which gives both a really beautiful lacy look. The Grace shawl i found that the shells were more in blocked rows and it gives the illusion that it's more worked as panels. This pattern is a top down shawl pattern with a long starting chain which might sound hard but i personally love these ones as they work up so quick!"
"Fun and geometric are two great words to describe the Lois Shawl. It's got so much personality to it, with all those blunt corners, but you can add to it with some fun tassels or fringe (so much room for customization). Altogether they create a flowy and twirly party in one shawl. It was made using size #1/ fingering weight yarn but any yarn would be good, just be sure to check your gauge. And don't forget to have fun."
