Lacy Necktie Too

Best Blog Tips













While revising and remaking the Lacy Necktie pattern of a year ago that has been so popular, I decided to remake the Lacy Necktie a second time, in another color and with a different edging, just to give you guys a new option for this lovely pattern, and here it is. For a girl who works and who likes a neutral palette for her wardrobe or for any woman who likes neutral or earthy colors that go with just about anything, this is a great and still very feminine choice. Hope you like it!

Materials- Worsted weight yarn (color of your choice. I used Red Heart Coffee.)
Size H crochet hook
Blunt needle to weave in ends and sew necktie strap

Moni's Edging

Best Blog Tips

I love these types of mile-a-minute edgings which work upwards, because they are easier to measure and adjust to fit a project than the ones that work up horizontally. It's terrible to make all your edging in a particular length only to find out later that it is either too short or too long!

With this kind of edging that won't happen since you work the base of the edging upwards until you have the exact width you need, then you turn the corner and work the decorative ends, that way, it is sure to fit!

This lovely and easy edging could be used for many different projects, from a shawl to an afghan.

Base-
With chosen color of worsted wight yarn and crochet hook size H (I used Red Heart's Shocking Pink), ch 5.
Row 1- Ch 5. 2 dc in 4th ch from hk, ch 2, 3 dc in next ch. Ch 5, turn.
Row 2- 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in ch-2 sp, ch 5, turn.
Row 3- 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in ch-2 sp, ch 3, turn.
Rep rows 2 and 3 alternately, until you have the length you need to sew the edging to your project (widthwise.)
When you reach that measurement, work the decorative end as follows:

Decorative End:
Row 1-
Work base row 3 once. Ch 3.
Row 2- Make 8 dc in 1st ch-5 space, 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in next ch-5 sp, *work 8 dc in next ch-5 sp, 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in next ch-5 sp, rep from * across. Ch 3, turn.



Row 3- 1 dc in each of first 2 dc of 8-dc shell, ch 6, skip 2 dc, 1 dc in each of last 3 dc of 8-dc shell, ch 2, 1 sc in ch-2 sp of next shell, ch 2, *1 dc in each of first 3 dc of 8-dc shell, ch 6, skip 2 dc, 1 dc in each of last 3 dc of 8-dc shell, ch 2, 1 sc in ch-2 sp of next shell, ch 2, rep from * across. Ch 3, turn.
Row 4- 1 dc in each of next 2 dc, in ch-6 sp work: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, ch 4, sl st in 4th ch from hook, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1 dc in each of next 3 dc, ch 1, 1 sc in next sc, ch 1, *1 dc in each of next 3 dc, in next ch-6 sp work: 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, ch 4, sl st in 4th ch from hook, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1 dc in each of next 3 dc, ch 1, 1 sc in next sc, ch 1, rep from * across.
Done!

Poetic Edging

Best Blog Tips

I like edgings that work themselves up vertically not horizontally. Don't you think it is awful to do all of those chains and stitches just to find out when you are done, that your edging is either too long or too short? Well, it has happened to me, and that is the reson why I prefer vertical edgings. Here's one I came up with today and I would like to share it with you all. It is very easy and would look beautiful in just about anything. Although I used yarn, you can use #10 crochet thread if your edging will be used for a top or any other delicate-looking piece.


Materials:

Red Heart worsted weight yarn Orchid
Crochet hook size H
Scissors
Blunt needle (to weave in tail)

Ch 24.
Row 1- 1 dc in 6th ch from hook, *ch 1, skip next ch, 1 dc in next ch. Rep from * across. Ch 6, turn.

Row 4- 1 dc in first dc, ch 1, [1 dc in next dc, ch 1] rep three times, ch 1, 1 dc in each of next 5 stitches, ch 1, *1 dc, ch 1, rep from * till end of row. Ch 4, turn.
Row 5- 1 dc in next dc, ch 1, *1 dc in next dc, ch 1, rep from * across. Ch 6 turn.
Row 6- 1 dc in first dc, ch 1, [1 dc in next dc, ch 1] rep 4 times, ch 3, skip ch 1, next dc and next ch 1, 1 dc in next dc, ch 1, [1 dc in next dc, ch 1] rep till end of row.

Rows 8 to 13- Rep rows 2 to 7.
Continue to repeat these rows for pattern for as long as you need to to get the length of lacy eding you want..

Red on Red Capelet

Best Blog Tips




Last year we had a terrific time making stocking stuffers and small precious gifts for the Holidays that you could add to the rest of your gifts for special people in your list, or to simply give them away to people on your second list (co-workers, the girl that cuts your hair, the smiling clerk that always takes care of you at the local bank, etc.) We are starting even earlier this year and this is our second installment, a pretty and feminine capelet. Very easy and fast to make!
As always, my choice of yarn is just a suggestion. I wanted two contrasting shades of red to set off the beautiful but simple lace insert. Enjoy!

Materials:

Red Heart worsted weight yarn Hot Red
Red Heart worsted weight yarn Cherry Red
Sewing needle
Sewing red thread
Size H crochet hook
1 medium-sized red button in the shape of your choice (about 2mm)
