Crochet lace dress (flower hexagon) / Koronkowa sukienka z elementów



Once the first dress has been finished, I started working on the next. The following pattern I have chosen. This pattern comes from a book titled "The crochet block Bible" written by L. Roberts and H. Lodinsky (Search Press, 2015, p. 134-135), where you can find many more interesting designs. The electronic version of diagram I found on the blog that belongs to the Candida International and also at the Ravelry. The size of dress I am planning to make is 14/16 UK (42/44 EUR, 12/14 US). The size of the sample is 10 cm (4 inches). I am using a 100% mercerised cotton thread (Scheepjes Maxi, col. 750 - donkerrood, 100 g = 560 m) and 2 mm size hook (although recommended size is 1.25-1.5 mm, US 6-10).

A 100 g ball translated into 32 ready elements. So far, I have used 300 g and I have got 96 elements. To be very honest with you, this is not the end of my work but since I was very curious how the dress will look, I have already started joining the elements. Initially, I thought it would be nice to join elements using a chains of 3 which would result in additional mesh between flowers, but in practice it did not go so well. Thus, after a short online search I decided to follow a recipe for the invisible seam, described in detail in here.

Later I will take some pictures to show the final result. I must admit that at the back side the invisible seam creates ridges, but the front side is neat and flat, which satisfies me. After stitching more than 30 elements together I discovered a video tutorial (in Polish) where exactly the same element was joined at the final round (video tutorial).

Po zakończeniu pracy nad pierwszą sukienką, rozpoczęłam pracę nad drugą. Wybrałam powyższy wzór motywu. Wzór pochodzi z książki zatytułowanej "The crochet block Bible" ("Biblia szydełkowych elementów") autorstwa L. Roberts i H. Lodinsky (wydawnictwo Search Press, 2015, str. 134-135), w której znajdziecie o wiele więcej bardzo ciekawych wzorów. Schemat motywu pochodzi z prywatnego bloga należącego do Candida International Candida International, jak również wzór ten można znaleźć na stronie Ravelry (kliknij tutaj). Planowany rozmiar sukienki to 14/16 wg angielskiej rozmiarówki (42/44 EUR, 12/14 US). Przekątna próbki wynosi 10 cm (4 cale). Korzystam z 100% merceryzowanej bawełny (Scheepjes Maxi, kol. 750 - donkerrood, 100 g = 560 m), oraz szydełka o grubości 2 mm (chociaż zalecany rozmiar szydełka to 1,25-1,50 mm).

Z jednego 100 g motka można wykonać 32 elementy. Jak dotąd zużyłam 300 g kordonka i otrzymałam 96 gotowych elementów. Jeśli mam być z Wami szczera, to nie jest koniec mojej pracy, ale byłam bardzo ciekawa, jak tkanina zacznie się układać, więc zaczęłam łączyć ze sobą elementy. Początkowo myślałam, że połączę elementy za pomocą łańcuszka złożonego z 3-ch oczek, dzięki któremu siatka pomiędzy kwiatkami by się nieco poszerzyła, ale w praktyce nie poszło tak dobrze.

Stąd, po krótkim szukaniu w internecie, zdecydowałam się zastosować tzw. niewidzialny szew, krok po kroku (kliknij tutaj). Później postaram się zrobić kilka zdjęć, aby pokazać Wam gotową już sukienkę. Muszę jednak przyznać, że na spodniej stronie szew powoduje powstanie dość grubego szwu na łączeniach, ale za to na przedniej stronie tkania układa się równo i płasko, co mnie całkowicie zadowala. Jak na złość, po zszyciu ponad 30 elementów znalazłam dzisiaj przewodnik w języku polskim, gdzie identyczny motyw został połączony w ostatnim rzędzie robótki; link do filmiku jest tutaj

Corner to corner (c2c) blanket / Koc dziergany od rogu do rogu - metoda c2c

This is an example of very popular corner-to-corner throw / blanket/afghan designed by Catherine Watson for the yarn producer Red Heart, where you can find a detailed description available free of charge. Mike from the CrochetCrowd has also uploaded a step-by-step tutorial on YouTube. I must say that this tutorial is very good, even for the absolute beginners. Thanks to Mike I was able to make this afghan by myself. If you would like to make this blanket by yourself, then only 3 basic techniques you should know, i.e. chain, slip stitch and double crochet (US; treble crochet - UK). The Polish translation contains also a description of the pattern since it is not made available in this language. After a month of work in the evenings and weekends, whenever I found some free time, I finally completed this blanket. The final measurements are following: 50 x 75 inches (with border), and 48 x 73 inches (without border). This size is perfect for a teenager or a small adul...

10 ways how to join crochet item with a fabric / 10 sposobów na łączenie dzianiny lub elementu szydełkowego z tkaniną

Crocheting brings a lot of joy and a wonderful experience to numerous individuals, including myself. Most of the crochet projects can be entirely done using a single stitch, such as blankets or pot holders. This is absolutely easy and enjoyable. The problem starts, when we have a great idea for a new project and where combinations of techniques are required… Wait a minute, so how to combine the fabric with crochet artwork in a simple project such as a bag or purse? I asked myself this question and thought it would be helpful to review all currently available joining methods starting from no-sew ways.

Double crochet universal hat / Uniwersalna czapka - słupki

This is a very simple and unisex design which always works! I have already done several hats using this pattern. The size of the hat on the photo is approx. large and can be easily regulated using thinner/thicker yarn and a specific crochet hook (smaller or bigger). Let's start from creating a magic circle. Chain 3 stitches, which equals to one double crochet. Then cast further 23 double crochets around and join the first with the last double crochet using a slip stitch.   To start a new row chain 3 stitches - this equals to one double crochet. Throughout the second row we will be making 3 double crochets in each double crochet from a previous row. This should result in 72 stitches. Join the first with the last stitch using a slip stitch. I know, it may sound a bit crazy as at the very begining hat will be very wavy. Do not worry, as the hat lenghtens, the texture will straighten up.  Following from the third row onwards, we will continue makin...
