Garden Kisses Jute Crochet Placemat

Hi everyone

I am in a great mood today, how about you? The beautiful weather we had in the UK for Easter has continued, and as a consequence everyone is spending more time in their garden!

The garden centres are busy as people flock there to stock up on the latest bedding plants, new flowering trees etc. Now I don’t know about you, but gardening just isn’t my thing. We have an almost zero maintenance garden with black bamboo and another bush/hedge type thing that grows quite tall; and the leaves change colour a couple of times a year.

Garden Kisses Crochet Jute Placemat from Crochet247

Brighten up your garden table with a cute crochet jute placemat. Make any size and any colour with the jute, hemp, string, cotton of your choice.

Other than my hubby cutting the grass and cleaning the decking; cos those are guy jobs right! For me – no gardening and zero maintenance.

So what to do to add a little colour? Well, the brightly coloured jute for tying plants etc. caught my eye as I made my way through to the coffee shop – what you thought I was there to buy plants! Oh dear me no, it has a scrumptious coffee and cake shop inside; where I was meeting my friend.

Back to the coloured jute! I decided to see if it would crochet, and after a little experimentation with hook sizes and stitches, I came up with the placemat above to use outside. Now I won’t lie, the jute is a little rough on your hands so I did take a couple of breaks to apply handcream. However, I am really pleased with the result.

The pattern is inspired by my Ocean Kiss pattern combination but omits the cluster I usually use in the top of the X stitch as it just didn’t work with the jute. But the other stitches USA – SC, HDC,/ UK DC, HTC worked really well giving a little texture but still allowing the placemat to stay flat and keep it;s shape.

The finished size of my placemat is 19″ by 11″ but you can make them any size you like. The multiple just needs to be a number divisble by 3, then add 2, and add 1 for the chain.

Instructions written using USA crochet terms.

CH1 – Does not count as a stitch

CH4 – Counts as the first TRC stitch on “X” rows, meaning the very first space to place a stitch, is already “used”.

Multiple 3+2+1 for the foundation chain.

Let this be the year ……..

January 14, 2019 by Sarah Sullivan

Let this be the year; my year! The year I finally sell what I can make at my first craft fair!

I finally sell at my first craft fair! I earn some money from doing what I love! I sell products that I can make!

Use props to give your table height and interest

Is this you my friend?

Are you a great baker? Do you sew beautifully? Are you an accomplished knitter? Can you upcycle trash and make something beautiful from it?

Have you been making things for your friends and family for years?

Everyone tells you that you should be selling your work? But …… let me guess – you are too nervous to try?

Then let this be the year 2019 that you summon up all your courage, and you just go for it!

Dip your toe in the water, take a table at a local market, school fair, community event!

Do you have that little voice in your ear saying ………..

“I would love to have the feeling that someone/anyone loved something I made so much, that they actually paid me for it? They walked right up to me, and handed over their hard earned cash for my handmade products?”

Wouldn’t that feel amazing? Close your eyes, picture the scene, Can you imagine how thrilled you would feel?

What’s stopping you?

Not sure if your products are good enough? Too scared to try? Afraid people will laugh at your efforts? Don’t really know where to start in booking a stall?

What’s the worst that can happen? You lose a few pounds for the cost of your stall, and you have some stock left over that you couldn’t sell on the day.

An outside summer craft fair table set up

Outdoor craft fair – think about all angles for your display

What do I know?

I have been selling at craft fairs for the last 15 years – jewellery, knitted accessories, crochet accessories, artwork – but my advice will work for you whatever it is that you want to make and sell.

I can still remember my very first craft fair. Couldn’t sleep a wink, I was so excited and nervous, all rolled into one.

And you know what happened, I didn’t sell a thing! Now I am not telling you this to put you off, (as clearly it didn’t put me off), but because it actually wasn’t all about me or my products. it was the fair I had chosen – poor location, poor management, poor advertising – and the more experienced sellers around me didn’t do well either!

So my first lesson was a hard one – Do your research on the fairs you want to try! More about this later!

Indoor craft fair table set up idea for 6ft table

Indoor craft fair 6ft table – maximise your height to create extra selling space

Let’s get back to you and your very first craft fair!

Let me give you some pointers on what you need to think about!

What do you need?

Great Location – have a think about the type of market you would like to sell at, and your own shopping behaviour when you attend a market or fair. For your first market you want a low cost to be there, with high footfall, somewhere easy for customers to get to, free or low cost entry, family friendly. Is it a day out or somehere to browse for an hour? Seasonality – is the time of year favourable for your products? Target Customer – imagine who your target customer is and their interests, how and where would they spend their leisure time – would your target customer be attracted to this market or fair? (Also be aware that for larger professionally run fairs you will need Public Liability Insurance – but for your first fair if you pick a local small market or school fair etc you shouldn’t need this – the organiser will always let you know anyway.)

2. Customers – think about the fair/market – where does their audience come from, how well known is the market, how regularly does it run (can you visit before you book to check it out?), is it easy to get to and park? is it advertised anywhere – how did you personally hear about it? Is their advertising effective? What is the main draw for the audience? For instance a charity for stray dogs having a fundraiser can draw a big crowd who love dogs, and anything dog related, but maybe if you are selling jewellery they may pass you by.

3. Stock – you need to have enough stock to make an eye catching and interesting display on the table and that if you sell 5-10 pieces you have covered your cost of being at the fair. If you go on to do further fairs then you would also need to consider your raw materials cost and your time, but first you need to find out if you like being in front of your customer and “selling” so don’t invest too much money in making lots of stock.

4. Display Items – practice at home with a plain coloured cloth and use a few props from around your home that you can easily transport on the day, to give your table display some different heights and interest. Generally, you will have around 5 seconds as people walk past and give your table the once over to catch their attention enough to stop and look harder.

5. Pricing – price your items and then stick to it! Do not allow people to haggle with you, and do not blurt out a reduced price in conversation because you are scared they will walk away. Value your products, if your pricing is a little high then adjust it at your next fair. If you price your product too low then people will assume they are cheap and not worth their purchase. You have worked hard on your products and ensured they are high quality so don’t undersell yourself, your skill, and your time.

6. Meet the Maker! You are your brand! So stand behind your table, smile and say hello when they walk past; and then stop talking, and let them look! Answer any questions they ask, ensuring they know you have made everything, but don’t overdo it! You can really put people off with great long explanations and too much detail.

7. Review your efforts! Through the day, watch the customers walking around other stalls, what catches their attention, which stalls seem most popular – and why? Talk to other stall holders and see what you can learn from them about other markets, display, etc. Enjoy yourself, try not to get stressed out if you are not making sales – this is fun, and it’s your first one so you have lots to learn!

It doesn’t really matter what you sell, my advice will suit all complete newbies – with the exception of food and drink producers who would depending on your country and laws would also need some hygiene certificates, kitchen inspection etc. before selling to the public!

Liked the blog post, PIN me to find me again!

Thinking about selling what you make? Let this be the year you finally try! Sell at your first craft fair!

I hope this was useful for you and I have encouraged you to make this your year, the year that you finally just give it a go!

Love Sarah x

Ocean Kiss Afghan Square

November 29, 2018 by Sarah Sullivan

Ocean Kiss Afghan Square

Ocean Kiss Square from Creative Crossings Afghan

Ocean Kiss Afghan Square Crochet Pattern designed for the Creative Crossings Afghan

Ocean Kiss Afghan Square – Free Crochet Square Pattern, an original design contributed for the Creative Crossings Afghan Blanket, you will find my square on the 4th row in the Red Heart Soft shade Off-White!

Fifteen crochet designers contributed brand new designs for this beautiful blanket full of texture and colour as a gift for Lorene from Cre8tion Crochet. Read the full story below!

Image courtesy of Kirsten Holloway Designs Creative Crossings Afghan/Blanket

Back in 2017, I was honoured to be a part of a wonderful beta group established by Lorene Haythorn Eppolite from Cre8tion Crochet. Lorene wanted to help others to establish themselves as small business owners using their craft skills to earn an income.

The group became the Cre8tion Business Academy providing daily support, guidance and reference for creative business owners. For those of us blessed with a creative brain we can easily experience total overwhelm when trying to steer our way through the skill set and tasks we need to master to sell and promote our products on-line.

When you create your product you design and make it, but to promote it you need to master all of the social media – Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, your own website. To ensure your product stands out in a busy market place you need good photographs, great written copy, beautiful pins for Pinterest. To promote your product you need to place links in Facebook Groups, learn how to schedule links and pins – it goes on and on.

I highly recommend Lorene as a mentor, she is a crochet designer, and she has built a successful design business so understands our daily struggles and time management, and the problems when real life gets in the way of all of your plans.

Our beta group wanted to give something back; to show Lorene how much we all appreciated; and had benefited so much from her group, and the friendship, and sense of community we all had with each other.

Kirsten from Kirsten Holloway Designs had the wonderful idea of designing and making Lorene an afghan. The idea was for each of the group members to design individual squares for the afghan and make it in Lorene’s business brand colours.

The entire project took almost a year to come to fruition from planning, to making the finished afghan, Kirsten had the lion’s share of the project organising the project, contributing her own squares, stitching all the squares together.

Then, Kirsten also designed and stitched a stunning border, that really just takes the afghan to another level of beauty, don’t you think?

Finally, Kirsten also took and edited beautiful photos of all of our squares, and the final photos of the completed afghan which she has generously given to all of the designers who took part to help them promote the afghan.

We couldn’t have possibly done it without her, Kirsten’s time and patience on this project, freely given is amazing and very much appreciated by us all. Thank-you Kirsten!

complete blanket, and the links to all of the

Ocean Kiss Square from Creative Crossings Afghan Blanket

My square Ocean Kiss was an extra nice collaboration with my friend Katie Clary from Salty Pearl Crochet. I wanted to take part in the project, but the shipping costs from the UK to USA were prohibitive, and at the time we were all trying to work to a deadline.

Katie offered to make the square from my pattern, on my behalf, and then mail it on to Kirsten. This was so generous of Katie and enabled me to be included in this very special blanket.

I decided to use my very popular Ocean Kiss series to design the Ocean Kiss Afghan Square using the same stitch combination as my patterns in this series, and then add a border to ensure the square would be 12″ by 12″.

Pattern instructions are below and as usual I have included two sets one for USA crochet terms and one for UK.

CH1 – Does not count as a stitch

CH4 – Counts as the first TRC stitch on “X” rows, meaning the very first space to place a stitch, is already “used”. And also counts as the first DC/CH1 on DC Cluster rows.

Multiple 3+2+1 for the foundation chain.

ROW 1:- CH33, SC in 2^nd CH from hook, SC in each CH to end of row. (32 SC), turn

ROW 2:- CH1, HDC in each SC, repeat across, (32 HDC), turn

ROW 3:- CH1, HDC in each HDC, repeat across, (32 HDC), turn

Check your count here, the easiest place to miss a SC is either the first 2, (the SC in the first cluster is your 3^rd SC made) or the last 2 SC’s (made using the starting CH4 of the previous row).

ROW 8:- CH1, HDC in each SC, repeat across, (32 HDC), turn

ROW 29 – Repeat Row 7 (32 SC), at the end of the row do not turn, CH1 and SC into the same stitch and then work a further 31 SC down the raw side evenly spaced.

Side Border

Essentially you are adding 4 border rows to the two sides that have raw edges. SC/HDC/HDC/SC to match the pattern and make a neat corner on each side with a CH1.

To keep it even I worked with one side and the top row at the same time and then finished the final raw side with the same 4 rows.

So I worked a row of SC across the top of my square, turned the corner and went down one side, come back up the side and across the top with HDC, turn and go back and do another row of HDC up the side and back across the top, turn and your final row is then SC back up the side and across the top. This brings you to your final raw side when you can then repeat the same four rows to finish the square evenly.

ROW 30 – CH1, turn and work back along the side an HDC into each SC, (32 HDC), CH1, and continue placing your HDC into each SC across the top of your square (32 HDC), turn, CH1

ROW 31 – CH1, and with HDC into each HDC work again across the top of the square and down the side placing another row of HDC into each HDC. (2 sides of 32 HDC), turn,

ROW 32 – CH1, SC into each HDC final time back up the side and across the top of the square. 2 sides of 32 SC with a CH1 for the corner.

ROW 33 – CH1, and SC again evenly spaced place 32 SC down your final side, turn,

ROW 34 – CH1, return back along the side towards the top placing an HDC into each SC,

Row 35 – CH1, turn, another row down of HDC into each HDC.

Final Row – CH1, turn, SC into each HDC and your square should be complete.

Cut your yarn, leaving a tail to weave in. Pull yarn through final loop on hook and then weave in the end to hide.

Instructions written using UK crochet terms.

CH1 – Does not count as a stitch

CH4 – Counts as the first DTR stitch on “X” rows, meaning the very first space to place a stitch, is already “used”. And also counts as the first TRC/CH1 on TRC Cluster rows.

Multiple 3+2+1 for the foundation chain.

ROW 1:- CH33, DC in 2^nd CH from hook, DC in each CH to end of row. (32 DC), turn

ROW 2:- CH1, HTR in each DC, repeat across, (32 HDR), turn

ROW 3:- CH1, HTR in each HTR, repeat across, (32 HTR), turn

ROW 4:- CH1, DC in each HTR, repeat across, (32 DC), turn

ROW 5:- CH4 (counts as a DTR), DTRX across, ending with a DTR in final DC (10 DTRX, 2 DTR), turn

ROW 7:- CH1, DC into previous row TRC, DC in the CH1 space, *(DC through top of TRC3TOG Cluster, 2 DC in CH2 space), *repeat across ending with DC through top of final cluster, DC under CH1 space (4^th CH previous row), then DC in 3^rd CH of previous row. (32 DC)

Check your count here, the easiest place to miss a DC is either the first 2, (the DC in the first cluster is your 3^rd DC made) or the last 2 DC’s (made using the starting CH4 of the previous row).

ROW 8:- CH1, HTR in each DC, repeat across, (32 HTR), turn

ROW 9:- CH1, HTR in each HTR, repeat across, (32 HTR), turn

ROW 10:- CH1, DC in each HTR, repeat across, (32 DC), turn

ROW 11:- CH4 (counts as a DTR), DTRX across, ending with a DTR in final DC (10 DTRX, 2 DTR), turn

ROW 12:– CH4, *(TRC Cluster (space in top half of first “X”), CH2), repeat a further 8 times, final “X” TRC Cluster, CH1, TRC in 4^th CH, turn (10 TRC Cluster, 2 TRC)

ROW 13-28:- Repeat Rows 7-12, two more times

ROW 29 – Repeat Row 7 (32 DC), at the end of the row do not turn, CH1 and DC into the same stitch and then work a further 31 DC down the raw side evenly spaced.

Merlot Bliss Cowl

November 4, 2018 by Sarah Sullivan

Merlot Bliss Cowl

Luxurious, soft, warm, and just so squishy, you will never want to take this beautiful and stylish cowl off.

So, it happens to all of us crafters doesn’t it? I was just browsing through a yarn store, checking out what they had; and came across this gorgeous Sirdar Alpine – in a beautiful shade of Merlot. The Alpine is a luxuriously soft faux fur made of 100% polyester and comes in lots of lovely colours; mainly aimed at toy makers for teddy bears, and other animals.

I had not seen the Merlot colour before, but it was calling my name and saying “Make me into something beautiful!” and the way it just jumped out at me, I really had no choice! Ha! Ha!

I had the idea straight away for a design for a cowl, but using the fur through the middle, rather than the more usual method perhaps of using it as a trim, or border.

In my mind’s eye I was rapidly going through my stash at home, thinking what I might have to match it with; and then, remembered, I had some Lion Brand Heartland in Black Canyon that would probably work well.

When I got home, I immediately went into my craft room to check what I had, and I had a brilliant surprise. I knew I also had the Lion Brand Heartland shade Badlands, which I purchased on one of my trips to the US last year. I designed a short beginner’s level cowl called One Stitch Cowl (click here if you are also interested in this free pattern) with it, and loved the colour.

Well my surprise, was that the Sirdar Alpine Fur actually matched beautifully with the Badlands shade, and then my design head just went into overdrive, creatively considering all the options.

In the end, I decided to make the main body of the cowl in Badlands, and then to ensure the Alpine Fur really popped; set it off by rows either side of it using the Black Canyon.

I literally dropped all my other WIP’s and got started the same evening, finished it the next day, and I am so in love with this design, I really hope you love it too.

If you want to make the Merlot Bliss Cowl in the same colours as mine then you will need Lion Brand Heartland in two colours; 1 and a half balls of Badlands, and half a ball of Black Canyon. Then, from Sirdar Alpine Luxe Fur Effect the shade I am calling Merlot actually just has a number which is SH0405, and you will need 1 ball.

I warn you this combination is addictive, and I am already working on some matching accessories! Coming very soon!

So let’s get started on the details.

Soukie Sparkle Cowl

October 28, 2018 by Sarah Sullivan

Soukie Sparkle Cowl (or a Scarf)

Who loves to rummage through the sale bin in yarn stores? I do! And don’t you find they often have a couple of small balls of really pretty yarn at a knock down price – but you think what the heck can I make with it?

Did you get tempted a while ago? and know that you have a couple of small balls of sparkly yarn in your stash? Just sitting there waiting for a suitable project?

Quick and easy free crochet pattern for a sparkly cowl – would make a gorgeous gift.

We are all like magpies aren’t we, when it comes to something small and pretty, and especially sparkly!

It happens to me all the time; and then when I get home, I put it away and can’t think of a project for it.

I was browsing in store recently and found 2 balls of this gorgeous Sirdar Soukie dk (SH0184 Lot 8001) in 50g balls in this beautiful shade of turquoise – who could resist – and the price was a steal.

But what could I make with 240 yards?

I decided on a decorative cowl (or scarf – you choose) that could be worn with a t-shirt in summer; or equally with a smart dress for the evening, or for the holidays. You could always leave it as a scarf, and add a small fringe too.

Quick and easy free crochet pattern for a sparkly cowl – would make a gorgeous gift.

I had a look through my stitch books and found a stitch called Open Checker Stitch which called for a multiple of 6 stitches (+3 for foundation). This stitch combination gives a nice open stitch which shows off the sparkle and won’t add weight to your neck.

So enjoy this new free pattern and let me see some pictures in my Facebook Group or Instagram on the combinations you came up with using your stash!

It would be really fun to hear how long you have had the yarn you choose! Tee! Hee!

Simply Iris Shawl from the Simply Iris Crochet Collection

October 12, 2018 by Sarah Sullivan

Simply Iris Shawl

Create a beautiful shawl with simple crochet stitches. Perfect project for beginners to crochet to practice your stitches and counting.

For my beginner crochet friends! Looking for a new project, just use one stitch double crochet and chains to create a pretty pattern that looks way more intricate than it is? Need to practise counting your stitches?

Simply Iris Shawl – an easy stitch pattern for a beginner!

In the image below you can see a close up of how effective this pretty stitch is; and yet it uses just double crochets and chains, even the optional border I added is double crochets.

Create a beautiful shawl with simple crochet stitches. Perfect project for beginners to crochet to practice your stitches and counting.

When you first learn to crochet it can be quite daunting trying to choose patterns and projects that you want to make. I remember buying patterns, and then feeling a bit overwhelmed when I read them, and unsure if I could cope with the pattern.

To purchase this new pattern from my Ravelry Store please CLICK HERE

I have designed the Simply Iris Collection of patterns with this in mind, you can create a beautiful stitch pattern using just double crochets and chains if you are in the US; or treble crochets and chains if you are in the UK! If you like this pattern then keep a look out as I release the other patterns in the collection coming soon!

There are lots of videos on YouTube explaining the Iris Stitch so please refresh yourself with the stitch before you begin the pattern. Here is one that I think is nice and clear from my friend Heather at Unravelled Mitten http://theunraveledmitten.com/2018/03/30/iris-stitch-crochet-tutorial/

Counting is another tricky area when you first begin so I have given you lots of explanation in the pattern on where to put your first and last stitches on a row, stitch counts for every row, and instructions on how to count particular rows where you are missing stitches but counting spaces to set your row up nicely with a partial IRIS to keep the pattern as you expand the triangle.

Create a beautiful shawl with simple crochet stitches. Perfect project for beginners to crochet to practice your stitches and counting.

My pattern starts in the top middle of the triangle and builds outwards increasing on each end of row, and in the middle centre stitch, to keep the basic triangle shape in place as it grows.

I have made this shawl seven times since I first designed it, and as long as your read the instructions carefully, particularly at each end and in the middle of the triangle in terms of placing your next Iris or a partial Iris, you will be fine and be able to relax into your crocheting.

In terms of colour options, I have shown you three variations :- 3 colours, 2 colours, or the fastest option – make it all in one colour.

You can use any dk yarn for this project but if you like my colours, then all of the yarn I used is from Sirdar and their premium range Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk dk, I have added all the shade numbers in the pattern. It’s a beautiful yarn to crochet with, giving really pretty stitch definition.

Sublime comes in a broad range of brights and neutrals that tone together beautifully, or you can clash them on purpose as I have with the two shades of pink, or have a beautiful neutral in one colour as I have with the image in Taupe.

Ocean Kiss Beach Blanket

Ocean Kiss Beach Blanket

Beautiful and stylish crochet blanket for your home from Crochet 24/7

Bring the beach to your home with this beautiful and stylish blanket, the latest pattern in my Ocean Kiss Collection.

Hello everyone!

Well this feels scary …. I massively fell out of love with my blog, and the weeks suddenly turned into months without me writing or publishing anything new.

The longer I left it the harder it was to restart, questioning if my patterns were worth publishing, pouring buckets of self doubt over myself. I am not sure why but I just retreated into a bubble of creativity focusing on designing and making.

Anyway, I am back – newly enthusiastic – and I have a ton of patterns to show you all over the next few weeks – I am going to kick off with a favourite stitch combination for many of you – that I called Ocean Kiss.

This pattern is for a gorgeous, squishy, blanket – it’s huge, I am 5ft 4 and you can see from one of the pictures of me below holding it up just how big it is.

The blanket is a free pattern to thank-you all for staying with me; whilst I have been so quiet!

It would be great if you can Pin it on Pinterest, and share it on Facebook for me, to help me get my audience back to where it was.

Although, I have called it the Beach Blanket you can of course make it in any colour you like, multiple colours, one colour – whatever takes your fancy.

Ocean Kiss Autumn Cowl

Ocean Kiss Autumn Cowl

Warmth without weight beautiful Ocean Kiss Autumn Cowl using Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball one ball crochet pattern project

Thrilled to present to you the Ocean Kiss Autumn Cowl a brand new crochet pattern using the same stitch combination as my Ocean Kiss Summer Collection – if you are not familiar with these patterns click here to jump to the Summer Collection blog post.

Warmth without weight beautiful Ocean Kiss Autumn Cowl using Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball one ball crochet pattern project

For the Autumn Cowl, I have returned to Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball. but wait for it, instead of using my faithful 9mm crochet hook, instead, because this time I wanted a closer stitch, I have used a 6mm hook.

Warmth without weight beautiful Ocean Kiss Autumn Cowl using Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball one ball crochet pattern project

You all know I am a massive fan of this beautiful yarn, with it’s gorgeous colour palettes and soft, luxurious feel.

When I wear the items I have made with this yarn I am always stopped and complimented by strangers on how pretty the yarn is.

Warmth without weight beautiful Ocean Kiss Autumn Cowl using Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball one ball crochet pattern project

I started to make the first sample in Graceful Green which is a sumptious mix of shades of green, milk chocolate, and light beige with a gold metallic thread running through.

The second sample (I always make at least two) I used Cleansing Quartz which has now become my new favourite colour – it’s a mix of greys from charcoal through to dove grey, moving into light and dark beige with silver thread running through – I cannot tell you how twinkly this one is and would look stunning with a simple black dress or coat.

You will have to tell me which is your favourite, I will release the photos of both, but I think the Cleansing Quartz will be my lead photo – I just love it. It would be easy to walk past in the store but when you start to crochet and the colours appear it really has the WOW factor.

Warmth without weight beautiful Ocean Kiss Autumn Cowl using Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball one ball crochet pattern project

As with my previous patterns Ocean Kiss Autumn Cowl is an intermediate pattern, you will need just one ball of Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball and I estimate it will take you approximately 10-12 hours, due to the smaller hook size.

The PDF has easy to follow pattern instructions written out fully in both US and UK terms to avoid any confusion.

One Stitch Cowl Quick & Easy Crochet a gift in under 2 hours

November 20, 2017 by Sarah Sullivan

One Stitch Cowl! It’s Quick!

Easy crochet pattern using just one stitch and less than 70g of Lion Brand Heartland worsted weight yarn. Quick make in under 2 hours for an effortless gift.

Looking for a quick and easy gift or a staple for your craft table? Are you a beginner to crochet and looking for a simple project without any counting, something you can accomplish over a weekend?

The One Stitch Cowl is for you!

This quick and easy design for a short cowl/neck warmer can be made in under 2 hours by an experienced crocheter or a weekend for a beginner, practising the technique.

It uses just one stitch the Half Double Crochet (HDC) if you use US terms or a Half Treble Crochet (HTC) for us Brits (UK terms).

However, instead of inserting your hook through the top 2 loops, formed from the stitch below, after the 1st foundation row, you tip your work forward and insert your hook into the loop behind – referred to as the 3rd loop. By using this loop on it’s own the stitch is pushed forward which gives the fake knitted effect of a rib.

If you are new to this stitch; and it’s really easy once you understand where to insert your hook, then Tamara from Moogly has a really clear explanation and video tutorial on how to do it. So I recommend you watch the video before beginning. Here is the link to Tamara’s blog post on this stitch click here

Easy crochet pattern using just one stitch and less than 70g of Lion Brand Heartland worsted weight yarn. Quick make in under 2 hours for an effortless gift.

As you all know this is my first year blogging and designing full-time and at the beginning of this year I had no idea really how the business would go, and whether I could make an income from my hobby.

As a seasoned craft fair stallholder for many years my weekend hobby (whilst I still worked full-time); I have fairs I do year in, year out. These fairs have to be booked and paid for almost a year in advance to guarantee your place, so I had to take a bit of a gamble.

Easy crochet pattern using just one stitch and less than 70g of Lion Brand Heartland worsted weight yarn. Quick make in under 2 hours for an effortless gift.

If designing wasn’t going well then I knew I could fall back on retail income from the fairs. In reality my business has started to grow; but I may have been able to release more designs if I had not been so encumbered with finished items for all the fairs I booked!

So, like many of you are; I am up to my ears currently in making finished items for craft fairs and I needed a quick make.

Following feedback from some customers asking if I had a shorter cowl/neckwarmer, I sat down and decided to whip up something really easy and quick.

This One Stitch Cowl features my personal favourite stitch the HDC (HTC) working in the 3rd loop. It’s a quick stitch, you can do it whilst you are watching tv, or chatting to your kids about their day. It’s economical, using around 70g of any Worsted/Aran weight yarn, and for an experience crocheter will take less than 2 hours, so you can make several in a day.

Easy crochet pattern using just one stitch and less than 70g of Lion Brand Heartland worsted weight yarn. Quick make in under 2 hours for an effortless gift.

The finished effect looks great and in a plain colour you really see the stitch definition. I used Lion Brand Heartland, which worked well as this yarn has a slight sheen on it, which adds to the prettiness of the stitch. I have added pictures in a couple of colours to show you how different it looks.

For a beginner, I think it’s a really useful project to practice the stitch and tension, and have a feeling of accomplishment to complete in a weekend something you can wear, or gift.

Thank-you! for following me on Facebook

One Stitch Cowl Pattern Instructions

Difficulty Level:- Easy

Stitches Used:-

US Terms

CH – Chain

HDC – Half Double Crochet

UK Terms

CH – Chain

HTC – Half Treble Crochet

Special Stitch:- HDC/HTC into the 3rd Loop. Yarn over hook, tip your work forward and insert your hook into the 3rd loop only, yarn over, pull through (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.

Hook Size:- 6mm

Guage:- 3″ = 9 HDC/HTC

Yarn:- Any Worsted or Aran weight yarn will be fine. I used Lion Brand Heartland 100% Acrylic Worsted Weight 10 ply 142g ball and it used approx. 70g around 115m or 120 yards.

Finished Size:- My cowl/neckwarmer was 6 1/2 wide (17 rows) and when seamed 15″ long (30″ before seaming).

If you prefer it wider just add rows.

If you prefer it longer then add chains at the beginning, for instance add CH9 for an additional 3″.

One Stitch Cowl – US Terms

Chain 1 does not count as a stitch throughout.

Row 1:- CH 91, HDC in 2nd CH from the hook, HDC in each chain across (90 HDC), turn

Row 2:- CH1, HDC (in the very first stitch) into 3rd loop only, HDC in 3rd loop across of each HDC (90 HDC), Beginner’s make sure you catch the last one to ensure a straight edge!

Rows 3-17 Repeat Row 2

One Stitch Cowl – UK Terms

Chain 1 does not count as a stitch throughout.

Row 1:- CH 91, HTC in 2nd CH from the hook, HTC in each chain across (90 HTC), turn

Row 2:- CH1, HTC (in the very first stitch) into 3rd loop only, HTC in 3rd loop across of each HTC (90 HTC), Beginner’s make sure you catch the last one to ensure a straight edge!

Rows 3-17 Repeat Row 2

Seaming:- To finish. CH1, turn and bring your short ends together, yarn over and insert your hook into the end stitches of each short end, yarn over and pull yarn through, (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.

Continue along evenly spacing your stitches, at the end cut your yarn leaving a tail, pull through final loop, pull tight and weave in your ends.

This method produces a visible chunky seam, if you prefer a more invisible join then you may prefer the mattress seam using a large needle.

Here is a link for instructions on the mattress seam click here

Update addition to pattern! January 2019

This pattern has been so popular with many of you, and I know my customers at craft fairs love it too! I wanted to let you know that I have been making a slightly smaller, chunky version which is more of a short cowl or neck warmer.

As I released the pattern above when I was almost at 1000 Followers, it seems appropriate to be giving you an update now I am almost at 2000! Yeh!!

The pattern is great in a chunky weight because it can be just slipped over the head and worn as it is, it can be folded at the front to tuck into a coat or collar, or it can be folded down in half, like a polo neck to keep your neck extra warm.

One Stitch Crochet Cowl Neckwarmer in a Chunky variagated yarn, easy project to complete in under 2 hours

I have used James C Brett Marble Chunky, the same yarn I use in my New Beginning Cowl and a 9mm hook. As the yarn is chunky you need only chain 71 for a 70 stitch row. I crochet the rows until I reach 7″ width and then turn and crochet the seam together.

As the Marble Chunky is a 200g ball you can easily make two cowls from one ball and it comes in around 85 colour variations so lots of choice!
