Spa Day Set

This week we will continue with gifts you can make in one day or less, with the focus on useful items that some would consider personal. When I was teaching, I would make small gifts for the office staff and they really liked getting personal handmade gifts!

Here we go a skein, make in a day #2:

                                      The Spa Day Set

This gift set includes a crochet wash cloth and a crochet bath puff, both made out of cotton dk yarn, using single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet stitches. You can make up this gift set with 1 skein of yarn and complete it in less than a day!

These easy to make bath puffs are eco-friendly and can replace those old plastic bath puffs.

The wash cloth has a open design, which allows for quick drying. Both the wash cloth and bath puff can washed in the washer as long as you put them in a garment bag and wash them in cold water. They will need to be air dried as dryers can be harsh.

                                                                                                                                                      To give as a gift, you can put the Spa Day Set in a gift bag or small basket, with a bar of soap, body lotion, bubble bath, or a bath bomb.                                                                                                                           

This is a great gift for a friend, neighbor, or teacher!

I hope you enjoy the second make in a day pattern!

Have a hooky day! Lynne

Shell Stitch Cowl

Happy first day of December! Where did the year go? This is the time of year where many people get ready for gift giving. If you are like me, I have the thought in my mind to get started on gifts and before I know it December 1st is already here! This month we will focus on gifts that can be made in a day. These are great for giving to family members, co-workers, neighbors, and teachers. (the list could go on and on!)

Here we go a skein, fresh off the hook:

                                                 The Shell Stitch Cowl

A cowl makes is a great alternative to a scarf. The great thing about a cowl is that there are no ends to mess with. Just slip it over your head and go, no need to worry about making a even knot or what to do with the loose ends.

This cowl may look complicated but it is made using basic crochet stitches. The pattern uses sc and dc stitches and the knit look edging is done by working a few rows of shallow single crochet stitches. 

I hope you enjoy the first Make in a day pattern!

Have a hooky day! Lynne
