Szell stitch pot holders / Łapki do garnków - muszelki



I have left with some 100% mercerised cotton yarn (Pattons, col. 1205) from a previous experimental project and thought it would be enough to make a new set of pot holders. I was looking for an elegant and relatively easy pattern to follow and found this lovely shell stitch pattern. The applications of this pattern are numerous and it can be used for projects such as coasters, blankets, pillow cases, table cloths, pot holders, bags, purses, carpets. It all depends on available materials and the hook size.

A full step by step description has been given by MYpicot (4025 quilt) and by  Lahoma Nally-Kaye (beautiful shells blanket) on the Ravelry website. Although the primary version of this pattern comes as a square (a video tutorial can be found here), after some modifications is can be converted into a rectangular (a video tutorial can be found here).




Overall, I used 40 g of 100% cotton yarn for each pot holder, crocheting with a hook of 3 mm size. The final measurements are as follow 8 x 8 inches (20 x 20 cm).

The borders were made of two rows of a single crochet stitch using a 2.5 mm hook. The pot holder hook was made of 20 chains, which in the second round were strengthened by a row of single crochets.

And that's how look like the final pot holder. I have absolutely fallen in love with this pattern and certainly will be using it again and again :) Let me know in the comment box below how do you find this pattern?

Z pewnego eksperymentalnego projektu zostało mi jeszcze nieco włóczki (100% merceryzowana bawełna firmy Pattons, kol. 1205) i pomyślałam, że wystarczy mi na nowy zestaw łapek kuchennych. Szukałam w internecie eleganckiego, ale zarazem prostego wzoru i natknęłam się na wzór muszelkowy. Zastosowania tego wzoru są niezliczone i może być on wykorzystany na projekty takie jak podkładki, koce, poszewki na poduszki, obrusy, serwety, łapki kuchenne, torebki, kosmetyczki, portmonetki, dywany. Wszystko zależy od dostępnego materiału oraz grubości szydełka.

Opis wzoru, krok po kroku w języku angielskim został udostępniony przez MYpicot (4025 quilt) oraz przez  Lahoma Nally-Kaye (beautiful shells blanket) na stronie internetowej Ravelry. Chociaż pierwotna wersja tego wzoru to kwadrat (filmik instruktażowy w języku angielskim można znaleźć tutaj), po pewnych zmianiach można również uzyskać kształt prostokąta (filmik instruktażowy w języku angielskim można znaleźć tutaj). 

Podsumowując, korzystając z szydełka o grubości 3 mm zużyłam 40 g włóczki 100% bawełna na każdą z łapek. Końcowe wymiary łapek do garnków są następujące: 20 x 20 cm lub 8 x 8 cali.

Łapki kuchenne wykończyłam dwoma rzędami półsłupków robionymi szydełkiem o grubości 2.5 mm. Uchwyt łapek był zrobiony z łańcuszka złożonego z 20-tu oczek, a w drugim rzędzie uchwyt był wzmocniony właśnie półsłupkami.

Końcowy efekt jest przedstawiony powyżej wraz z schematem wzoru. Zakochałam się w tym wzorze i z pewnością wykorzystam go jeszcze wielokrotnie w przyszłości :) A jak Tobie podoba się ten wzór? Wszelkie komentarze są mile widziane :)

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...
