New stock and thinking out side of the box

When I was at the market I had so many requests for Black hats and berets.

So give the customer what they want, here are just a few I've made over the last 3 days.

I really want to point out the multi colour black,/grey beret here.

In my last post I included a video tutorial of a streamer crocheted hat, I used this method in the beret using plain black yarn and a feather black grey yarn, I am so pleased with the result. The feather yarn I used was a little bit of scrap I had left over too! Waste not want not, I dare not throw any bit of yarn away as you never know it may be the missing link in a project that I am working on!

I will include the streamer video once again.

Crochet Video Tutorials

I just love video tutorials!
By all means I am not taking the credit for any of the video links I have supplied. In fact I am so pleased to give the credit to those who have made them.
These video's take time, equipment, programs, dedication, more time and the generosity to share them all with us all.
Thank You to all the producers of these, I hope to return the favor one day.

I'm so excited about this first video, the stitch that is shown here is what I know as the griddle st or the up and down st. I make my neck warmers out of this st, but I do one extra thing! I include a ch 1, at the end of every row, I start with a sc and end with a dc as the video shows. My beginning ch row is 13 ch, skip first ch, sc, dc, sc dc, ending with the dc and ch 1 to step up to the next row.
By doing that 1 ch, I do not have to crochet a border around the neck warmer as the ch 1 keeps it nice and firm!
Lemon peel st.

This is the first time I have heard of Jacobs Ladder!
Enjoy.

Cat's In A Row.
I have a written pattern for this but thought it was way too difficult until I saw this video.

This video is showing the basket weave pattern, how ever I wanted to post it for the fpdc and bpdc instructions.
Front post double crochet, Back post double crochet.

Now that you have seen fpdc, try using the st in a cable, here is a video for the cable st.


I've never seen this st before either, just wondering how I could make it work in a hat.
Streamer crochet.

Oh no, wait for it, there is a hat pattern on youtube for the streamer crochet!

Well that is just a few for today, thank you to all the video makers and my viewers!

Just one more thing before I go, I love this guy who also makes video tutorials, take a peek!

Woop, woop, woopy do!

Just a quick post to say a big thank you and hugs to all for responding to my return to crochet post! I am so chuffed! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Cat is very happy!
