Not even gonna apologize for the bombardment... Diagonal Shell Slouch Beanie Found In : https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/diagonal-shell-slouch-beanie Hook Used : K/6.5mm For : Self Started : Feb 12, 2015 Finished : Feb 12, 2015 Yarns Used : Red Heart Super Saver- Royal RHSS- White RHSS- Heather Gray Unfortunately, this pattern is no longer available digitally. I can't remember exactly where I found this pattern and I've gone through all of the patterns I've saved on my computer and crochet bookmarks. I can tell you that it was finished in an hour, maybe two so it was at the time, the easiest hat pattern I had worked. The problem is that back then, I had no idea how slouchy hats worked and stuffed all of my dreads inside of the hat. I complained that there wasn't much slouch and now: duh, Jay- you wore it absolutely the wrong way! To be fair, that makes me not a slouch hat fan and I prefer regular beanies. Anywho. Happy Hooking and Stay Safe!
Easy Listening Ear Bud Covers Found In : https://www.allfreecrochet.com/Organization/Easy-Listening-Ear-Bud-Covers Hook(s) Used : D/3/3.125 mm (Boye) For : Self Started : .... ?? Finished : March 19, 2015 Yarns Used: Caron Simply Soft Party- Purple Sparkle So, here's the thing. I was going through my Ravelry account and using that as a reference as far as these posts. The problem is that I have other projects that I've completed not on Ravelry, and the only pictures of said projects are on Deviant Art. This is one of them. I'm certain that this pattern didn't take me long at all and possibly started it the same day I finished. Also, I'm not so sure about the size of the hook that I used. Remember that horrible party yarn? Yeah, I had a lot left over and decided to try to use it up. This picture is trash so you can't really see the sparkle. Maybe a little. Regardless, this simple project gave me fits because of the yarn, alone. I provided a link but be warne...
Hopefully, this will be short and sweet. If you are an Amigurumi Queen/King, you should know these tips: feel free to skip this blog or add on if I miss anything, which more than likely, I will. Looking at the very first amigurumi I completed made me realize that there are some things that I need to point out. The first thing about these stuffed things is that you will be crocheting tighter than you've been taught to crochet. It makes sense because amigurumis will be stuffed with cotton/polyfill/whatever you're gonna use to stuff these babies, and you shouldn't be able to see the stuffing. If you're not used to crocheting that tightly, your hands and fingers will hurt after a while. Take many breaks. The next thing to know is use your stitch markers! I hate to yell but trust me: you will need those markers. More than likely, especially the ones that I've worked on, you will be working in a continuous circle and it's easy to lose count. At least for me, it is....
