Bathroom mat







































  1. ch 45 
  2. sl st down whole row
    • 10 rows of sl st 
  3. dc 1 to 1 down entire row, at the end of row, 2 sl st into last dc, then 5 sl st into short side of the rectangle, ch 3, continue with row of dc:s on the other side of the rectangle, at the end of row, 2 sl st into last dc, then 5 sl st into short side of the rectangle, attach to 1st stitch of lap with a slip 
  4. sl st around the whole perimeter, 1 to 1, corners: 2 sl st per 1 st of previous row, for the 3 stitches on the corners (doesn't have to be exact) 
  5. sl st 1 to 1 around the whole perimeter
  6. place the mat flat, have the yarn underneath it and your hook on top, plunge the hook into the work and bring up the thread from underneath, slip stitch two laps this way, going along the creases of the previous laps 
  7. slip stitch and bring the tread to the edge of the work again, make a regular sl st, (ch 3, dc 2) cluster, ch 2, dc 3 cluster, ch 2... around the perimeter, attach together ch to 1st cluster with sl st

CUTE BASKET

Image
Start with a ring of 4 stitches.  Round 1: 8 stitches. (Throw the yarn over the stitches in the ring, and pull it through like a regular stitch. Round 2:  two stitches go into each of the previous stitches, thereby doubling your number of stitches. Round 3: first one stitch, then two stitches into the same previous stitch. Basically, you do two stitches for every 2nd stitch of the previous round. Round 4:  one stitch, one stitch, two stitches into the same previous stitch. So, two regular stitches and then two stitches into every 3rd previous stitch. Continue doing two stitches for every 3rd stitch until you reach round 7.  Please note that if you want to make a significantly larger basket, you can keep going with more rounds before moving onto the next step. In this case, after you've completed round 6, you must place the 'two into one' stitches farther apart. otherwise, the bottom will wrinkle. I recommend the alternative: round 7- every 4th, round 8- every 5th, ro...

SOLID GRANNY SQUARE

Image
Hello everyone! Today I'd like to tackle one of the most common patterns when it comes to crochet- the solid granny square. To begin with, I have drawn a diagram/pattern of the beast:  I have marked the separate laps with red and black respectively. The green dots represent where you will need to close the lap by joining stitches. Finally, the simple blue stitches on the outside could be a good way to end the square but are by no means a must.  You will begin by making a simple ring of, I recommend, 4 stitches. If that feels too tight for the particular yarn you're using you can make more stitches or do a magic ring, whatever floats your boat will probably work.  Then, for the next lap, you will follow a simple rhythm: three double stitches, three stitches in a chain (just the same as the classic granny square).  The 2nd lap is where attention to detail really is of paramount importance. For the double stitches that you already have from the previous lap, you will ma...
