Minecraft Creeper Throw Tutorial

Image
I'm calling this a tutorial because I can't take full credit and say it's my pattern. For this I used a size H hook, a yarn needle, 2 skeins of Red Heart Super Saver in Glow Worm and 1 skein of Red Heart Super Saver in Black. The squares are Solid Granny Squares which you can find instructions for at Fiber Flux . You're going to make 8 black squares and 27 glow worm squares. Each square will be a total of 5 rounds. Arrange the squares as shown in the picture of my blanket and whip stitch them together with yarn and the yarn needle. Once you have all of your squares stitched together, join the glow worm yarn at one of the corners (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc), dc in each stitch across, in next corner  (2dc, ch2, 2dc). Continue around the throw working sides and corner as you've worked the others. Fasten off and weave in ends

Convertible Infinity Scarf Pattern

Image
I had no idea when I was making this (originally to be just a cowl) that this could be worn different ways. It's written for adult size but by decreasing the foundation chain, you could make it for a child. (Just make sure you start with an odd number of chains.) If you make this, please feel free to email me at hiphipcrochet(at)gmail.com with pictures of your finished creations. I'll post them on this page! Now, to make this you will need: • one skein each of Crafter's Secret in Brisbane Brown and Samoan Sand (or any worsted weight yarn in the colors of your choice) • Size I crochet hook • Yarn needle Abbreviations: • Ch = Chain • HDC = Half Double Crochet • DC = Double Crochet • Sk = Skip • St = Stitch • Sp = Space Directions: With the Brisbane Brown, ch 197.
