Winter Season - Hats & Headbands

With winter weather upon us, I’ve been busy designing quite a few new hats and headbands.  The patterns each work up easy with a beautiful texture created. 

I hope to get the patterns added soon. But, to be honest, I’ve had a lot going on in recent months with the death of my sister-in-law and some serious medical issues. 

Please feel free to message me with any questions…

Hocus Pocus Washcloth

 Hocus Pocus Washcloth 

Here’s my simple “Hocus Pocus Washcloth” in Peaches & Creme yarn in Orange, Purple and Black and a 5.0mm hook.  

I started with a chain 32.  I used single crochet (SC) stitches.  31 SC stitches across. I completed 31 rows.  

Here’s the graph pattern I made for this washcloth if you would like to make one for yourself.

Frankenstein Tissue Box Cover

Frankenstein Tissue Box Cover 

I whipped up this tissue box cover within 2 hours last night to add to my fall decor collection. 

I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Spring Green and Black and a 5.0mm hook. I used 2 plastic eyes but you can crochet your eyes, if so desired. 

The cover is made using the HDC (Half Double Crochet) stitch, except for one row, in which I rotated between HDC and DC (Double Crochet) for the hair. 

1.  The sides are all made in one piece. With Spring Green, I chain 55.  From 2nd chain and across, HDC. Ch1 and turn. (54)

2.-11. HDC across. Ch1 and turn. At the end of Row 11, fasten off Spring Green yarn. (54)

12.  Hair Row!!!  “HDC, HDC, 3DC dropped down into previous row stitch, skip 2 stitches, and repeat across.”  At the end of this Row, fasten off.  With right side together, you will slip stitch close the short ends together.  Weave ends. 

Top:

1.  With Black yarn, chain 14.  HDC in 2nd chain from hook and across.  Ch1 and turn. (13)

2-6.  HDC across.  Ch1 and turn.  (13)

7.  HDC in the first 4 stitches, chain 5 and skip 5 stitches (for opening), HDC in last 4 stitches.  Ch1 and turn.  (8 st and 5 ch = 13)

8.  HDC in first 4 stitches, HDC 5x in the chain space, HDC in the last 4 stitches.  Ch1 and turn.  (13)

9-13.  HDC across.  Ch1 and turn.  At the end of row 13, leave a long tail for attaching the top.

Assembly:

1.  Use tapestry needle to attach the top to the sides with a whip stitch around. 

2.  I added my eyes at Row 7 from the bottom  going up with 4 stitches between them.

3.  With Black yarn, I added a little stitch on the side and a smile.  For this part, you can do whatever you like.  

And, that’s it for my “Frankenstein Tissue Box Cover!!!”
