New project ideas

I know Christmas is now over but I think these projects will be good to start soon for 2014 Christmas.

Snowflake Garland

Materials:
*size 10 crochet thread
*size 7 steel crochet hook
For instructions of this pattern go to: http://www.redheart.com/files/patterns/pdf/WR1691.pdf 

1.  Make your first snowflake.
2.  Make your second snowflake, but stop when you have one chain loop left on your last round.  Make your first sc, chain three, sc, and make two of the five chain stitches that come next.

3.  Insert your crochet hook down through the chain 5 loop of the previous snowflake.  Hook the thread and make your next chain (the third of five) through the loop.  Make your last two chains.

4.  Now continue on finishing up the snowflake just as you did your first one - except now you have another snowflake attached.

5.  Continue making snowflakes and attaching them until your garland reaches the desired length.

Multicolor Miniature Christmas Stocking Ornaments

It is very easy you’ll see but I hope that I’ll find a way to explain it to you by using simple words…
For these I used Nako Vizon a 100% acrylic yarn with a 4.5mm crochet hook…You can crochet with the yarn that you want but careful to pick up the right size crochet hook
The socks are made using a single stitch (apart the beginning chain stitch and it is: d.c (U.K terms) or s.c (U.S terms)

I’m gonna make with you step by step this one: Don’t worry it is very easy So? Are you ready? Did you prepare some yarn and a crochet hook? Let’s maaaaaake it ! yahooooooooo!
I suggest that you make a sock with a single color to try out the pattern first and then you can make your own multi colorful one
For this one I used 6 different colors …
PART1:
Let’s begin with Part1 in the graphic pic (purple and yellow)
First (with the purple color) you begin with a circle of 4ch chain
R1: 10 dc (or sc) in the circle
R2: You crochet 2 dc in every dc of the previous round that make a total of 20 dc
R3 to R11: 20 dc  (R1 to R6: in purple R7 to R11: in yellow)
That make a total of 10 rounds of 20 dc. (purple and yellow colors part)

END OF PART 1
So? Is that ok for you so far? You just did the Part 1 bravo!
Let’s continue… shall we?

PART2:
R12: 10 dc (With the dark blue color you crochet on half of the stitches of R11, that makes a total of 10 dc)
and you continue making rows of 10 dc until R17…
So R12 to R17: 10 dc
You just did PART2!
Crocheting R17 you have to close and sew the right part of your sock 
END OF PART2

PART3:
With the turquoise color: R18: 22 d.c
For R18 you have to join together the dark blue part and the yellow part with a round of 22 dc (22m.s) as shown on this picture: (6 dc on the dark blue part + 10 dc on the yellow part + 6 dc on the dark blue part = 22 d.c ) You continue from R18 to R 33: 22 d.c
R18 to R22: 22 dc with the turquoise color
R23 to R27: 22 d.c with the red color
and finally R28 to R33: 22 d.c with the pink color
You close your little sock by making a chain of 17 ch so you can hang it 
You did it ! Your little sock is ready You can embellish it by adding some buttons, ribbons or beads…
