Granny Square Dishcloth pattern

You must know the basic stitches of crocheting.  I do not explain how to do them.  This is one of the first videos that I made and my hands do leave the camera view sometimes.  I hope you enjoy it any way and if you have any questions please comment or send me an email to krystle1@roadrunner.com

Granny Square Dishcloth

G or H hook
Ch 5; slst to form a ring

Round 1:  ch3, dblcr,
dblcr, ch3, dblcr, dblcr, dblcr, ch3, dblcr, dblcr, dblcr, ch3, dblcr dblcr,
dblcr, ch 3 (slst to top of ch 3 from beginning)


Round 2:  slst over to
ch 3 opening (about two slst);( ch 3, dblcr, dblcr, ch3, dblcr, dblcr, *all in
ch3 opening), dblcr in next dblcr, dblcr,  *you should now be at the next ch 3 opening;
dblcr, dblcr, ch 3, dblcr, dblcr, *all in ch3 opening;  repeat until you are back to where you
started, ending with a ch3 and slst to top of first ch3 made.

 Basically repeating the above steps over and over again
until the dishcloth is your desired size. 

Each corner will be 2 dblcr, ch3, 2dblcr

The straight sides will be one dblcr in the space of the
previous rounds dblcr.

You can finish it off with a round of sc, ch 5 in one corner
to have a little handle if desired or a shell st around the edges is nice as
well.

Learn to Crochet

Here is a video tutorial on a basic understanding of how to crochet.  I show you how to begin your work with a basic slip knot and begin to chain.  I also demonstrate the basic stitches of single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, increases and decreases.  Abbreviations for each stitch is also given to read patterns.

Ladybug Hat Crochet Pattern

Now Available!!!

Use the Basic Beanie Pattern posted here for all ages ranging from newborn to adult.  Then place the attachments accordingly.

Attachments:

Dots:

Make 6 (3 for each side)

Special notes: the 1 sc and ch 1 is the first dc of each round

Ch 4, join with sl st to first ch to form a ring,

Increases:

Row 1: work 1 sc into ring and ch 1 (this is the 1^st dc), work 9 dc into the ring, join with a sl st, into the ch 1, (10 dc)

Row 2: work 1 sc and ch 1 into same space as the join, work 1 dc in same space, work 2 dc’s in each dc around, join with a sl st, into the ch 1, (20 dc)

Finish off leaving a long tail to sew onto hat.

Wings:

Make a chain to attach for the wings.  The amount will depend on the size of hat.  Find a starting point in the middle of the hat toward the front.  Measure from that starting point down the middle and curve over to one side.  This is how long your chain shall be.

You will need to make a second smaller chain to make the second wing.  Attach it at the begging of the curve on the first wing.

Antennas:

Make 2

Ch 2, working in 1^st ch, 4 sc

*this will be worked in a continual round

1 sc in each st all the way around

This will form a tube and be a little difficult to work in because it is small.

Continue until it is the length you want.

Finish off leaving a tail to sew on to hat.

You can attach a pom pom on top.

Eyes:

Use the Dot pattern, just change your colors as shown.

Eyelashes:

Using your yarn needle sew three eyelashes on each eye.
