Everyday Wrap

It is October,! This is the month we really see the weather change. The days might still be a little warm, but the evenings are getting chilly. This is the time we begin to think about crochet for the colder weather! For the month of October, we will be featuring scarf and wrap patterns to keep you warm. 

The first pattern this month is a crochet wrap pattern. This pattern started when my younger sister asked me to create a crochet wrap that was stylish and could be worn everyday. She wanted a pattern that was quick and easy to make so she could make them as gifts for the holidays.

Here we go a skein, Fresh off the hook:

                                          Everyday Wrap


The pattern was written using basic stitches to create an eye-catching wrap that can be worn day or night. This project is great for crocheters of all skill levels since the stitches used are the single crochet, double crochet and a reverse single crochet for the edging.

 The Everyday Wrap was designed to be worn as a wrap or a long scarf.

If you love to be wrapped up in a cozy crochet comfort, this pattern is for you!

Thank you to my sister for modeling the Everyday Wrap!

Have a hooky day! Lynne

Japanese knot bag

Where has September gone? I cant believe there are only a few days of September left. The final accessory for the month of September is a handy little bag you wear on your wrist. This bag is known as a Japanese knot bag. What is a Japanese knot bag you say? Well according to the website Gathered, "A Japanese knot bag is an open tote bag with one handle longer than the other. It's designed so that you can put the long handle through the short one to close the top of the bag. You can then hook the bag over your wrist so that you can carry it easily." 

Here we go a skein, fresh off the hook:

                                                      Japanese Knot Bag

Our Japanese knot bag was created using simple crochet stitches and is quick and easy to make, with is repeating single crochet and double crochet fan stitch pattern. The beautiful stitch pattern makes it the perfect bag for the bride to hold on her wrist at the wedding, especially during the money dance.

This bag is large enough to carry your cell phone, keys, and other small items. It works great to hold your small crochet projects and crochet hooks. When I was at the Dallas Fort Worth Fiber Fest last weekend, I saw many knitters and crocheters using a Japanese knot bag to hold a their skein of yarn, while standing or walking around working on their projects!

This great little bag has many uses and would make a great gift!

Next month Fall will be in full swing! So we will be posting some new scarf and crochet wrap patterns! 

Have a hooky day! Lynne
