Hi - does anyone have any simple instructions for crocheted squares or flowers? I want to do some whacky scarves & bags.

I noticed on a linky Snowy posted about her hexagons - the lady on her blog has some little squares turned into stuff. She also has a flower scarf hanging on a coat hook - also . But I can't find any instructions for either. I thought doing a bit of crochet would be relaxing.

If anyone has any easy nice motif instructions - please post them on here. I can do granny square crochet & have already made a cushion cover. I can crochet in the round & do amigurumi.

Hmm, looking at those little squares, the pattern is:

Row 1:Chain 4 and join to make a circle,

Row 2: chain 3, 2 trebles into centre circle, 2 chain, 3 trebles into centre, 2 chain, 3 trebles into centre, 2 chain, 3 trebles into centre, 2 chain, slip stitch into the top of the first 3 chains.

Row 3: 4 chain; (3 treble, 2 chain, 3 treble) into the next chain space, 1 chain (3 treble, 2 chain, 3 treble) into next space, 1 chain, (3 treble, 2 chain, 3 treble) into next chain space, 1 chain, (3 treble, 2 chain, 2 treble) into next chain space, slip stitch into 3rd chain and fasten off.

 

Give it a try!

Here is a link to another granny square pattern - slightly different design:

Snowy talked me through a flower. Snowy has amazing patience. Snowy needs a medal. Took me over three hours!!!

Snowy - I like that link. I use to crochet as a child but haven't done it for over 20 years and couldn't find any good instructions. Think I can possibly do it now

Snowy was anaesthetised by alcohol

 

I'm wondering if the alcohol was the thing holding A chickychickychick-ENN!! back....her hangover lasted until Monday night, after all....perhaps she was seeing double or something?!

[craftyhunnypie]

Perhaps she was doing trebles where she should have been doing single crochet?

 

Snowy, the instructions for the little squares are spot on - I made 8 of them last night. Very quick & easy to do, I did some plain coloured & some two tone.

So how do you do those big flowers that lady has done & joined into a scarf?

 

I can't master the bobble stitch for the hexagons - perhaps if it was wrote in following on terms, instead of scrolling back to where it says bobble stitch - I might get it.

 

I've seen a book 201 motifs, I quite fancy.

Nah. Started sober didn't I? Just atrocious at it!

Snowy were you tipsy?!

 

I didn't notice you going 'hick two drebblez an' then a shingle one ooooover the needle Ireallyloveyounoireallydooiloveallofyouomleteers!' HICK!'

It is hard at first learning crochet. I learnt from youtube. I kept playing this video over & over & I felt like 'slinging my hook' a few times. My poor hubby had to suffer repeats of 12 double crochets (uk trebles) spoken in an American accent. I was determined though & wouldn't be beaten. I still sometimes do too many stiches in the round on my amigurumi. I prefer squares! I did follow a youtube video to make a heart coaster - that was fun & easy.

Good luck, believe me I do know what it is like to learn to crochet.

The language is too confusing for me. Do two doubles three trebles then a single treble and a single double. It's all ones twos threes. That, and you use the same language in bellringing.

That made me laugh, my brother and dad are bellringers and I hadn't spotted the comparison - I should've I've had to put up with talk of doubles and singles for 20 odd years. Are you a ringer?

I had a dabble for a while. A lot harder than it looks, but strangely therapeutic!
