Free Crochet Pattern: Ribbed Button Cowl

Ribbed Button Cowl

I am simply loving the cowls of the season!  I can't seem to stop looking in Department Stores and Boutiques for new ideas.  I love the natural wooden buttons and comforts of fall.  This is a quick and easy pattern for your most amateur beginners!

Supplies:
I Hook (5.5 mm)
Worsted Weight Yarn of your choice
Tapestry Needle for finishing


Abbreviations:
HDC - Half Double Crochet
CH - Chain



Instructions:

Row 1: Ch 86 - HDC in 2nd CH from hook and across, CH 2, Turn.  (85)

Row 2: In this row and remaining rows we will be working in the 3rd loop to give us the ribbed effect.  When working in the 3rd loop, you will notice your HDC from Row 1 will have 2 loops on top of your row and a "3rd" loop to the side of your row.  You will work a single  HDC in each 3rd loop across, CH 2, turn (85)

Row 3 - 19: Repeat Row 2.  Do not tie off at the end of Row 19.

Finish: At the end of row 19 SC up your short side (22)

Finish End:

Row 2-14: SC each across, Ch 1, Turn (22)










Add 2 (or 3) buttons, whatever your preference, to the unfinished end.  I used medium sized buttons so no need to worry about button holes on the opposite end!







Add buttons to unfinished end (end without SC)

Crochet Funky Daisy Appliqué

I put together this funky little daisy for my Fall Baby Poncho but I'm excited to use this pattern for future projects! The different colored petals really give this flower a whimsical feel! I apologize in advance for not snapping some pics along the way and before it was sewn onto the poncho (I just got so carried away!) but I will update with pics on my next daisy. Pinky promise! 

Supplies- 

I used scraps to put this funky little Daisy together so there is no telling what yarns I've used. This is where our art turns on those creative juices... Grab whatever you've got handy and start hooking. I used 8 different colors (one for each petal and 2 for the body) but it would be adorable with any color scheme so get crazy with it!

Crochet Owl Appliqué

If you're like me, I've loved owls since before owls were cool. I include owls in many of my projects from hats to scarves and amigurumi plush owls. Seriously, they're a hoot! (Okay, that was corny) Anyway... I put together this pattern for an owl appliqué to include on the Fall Baby Poncho and I couldn't be more happy with how he livened up this project! 

I apologize in advance for not taking pics along the way. I was caught up in a Netflix binge of 'Dexter' and I just kept hooking. Oops. Sorry. I am sure I will use this pattern again and I will do better next time. 😉 I promise to update with instructional pics on my next owl. 

Supplies- 

I used scraps to put this guy together so there is no telling what yarns I've used. This is where our art turns on those creative juices... Grab whatever you've got handy and start hooking. I used 7 different colors (one for each round) but he would be adorable with any color scheme so get crazy with him!

Fall Owl Poncho for Baby

You may remember, earlier in the year I was itching with Spring Fever and put together the adorable Simply Soft Baby Poncho for my little Princess. Found here: 

http://tonesofhomeky.blogspot.com/2016/01/free-pattern-simply-soft-baby-poncho.html?m=1

(Instructional photos below are from original pattern) 

Now that summer is winding down (sadly) I am getting started on her fall digs. My little Princess is walking now and is developing a personality that is unique to her. I'm so delighted with the little lady that's emerging before me. That being said, I will now refer to her as Miss Sassy... Because, well, she is Saaaaasssssyyy! 

I used the Simply Soft Baby Poncho pattern as a guide and I used a fluffier yarn and added a row to accommodate the change in size. This poncho should fit her for a couple of years - 12 mos to 3T(ish)?  

My favorite thing about creating new patterns is the creativity of selecting the colors that I will use in my project. I always encourage putting your own spin on a project. The colors I used for the poncho are listed below:

Supplies: 

Color A: Lion's Brand Woolspun- Taupe

Color B: Lion's Pride Woolspun - Pumpkin

Color C: Lion's Pride Woolspun - Fisherman

Color C: Lion's Pride Woolspun - Mesa Print

Free Crochet Pattern: Boho Baby Afghan (V- Stitch)



Baby K approved!

Materials:

• 5.5 mm (I) Hook 
• Yarn - I used Red Heart with Love Punch for the body of the afghan.  It worked up in a fun tie-dye look!
• Tapestry Needle for finishing

Abbreviations:
Ch - Chain Stitch
SC - Single Crochet
DC - Double Crochet
TRC - Triple Crochet
SL - Slip Stitch

Instructions: 

Afghan -

Row 1: Ch 73

Row 2: 1 SC in 2nd ch from hook. 1-SC each ch across, ch 1 (72)

Row 3: SC in the 'V' of the 1st SC in Row 1, (this will create the split SC or 'V' st). Repeat in each SC across (72) 

Row 4 - Row 96: Repeat row 3

Border -
 

I used a complimentary color from my scrap stash for the first round of my afghan border. If you choose to do an alternative color, you will want to cut and tie off ar the end of row 96. If you want to continue with your afghan color, simply continue. 

Round 1: *SC (through top loops as normal) across (Row 97) In final/corner st- SC 1, Ch 2, SC 1* - Repeat (*) around. Finish and tie off. 

Daisy Edging -

• Daisy

Round 2: Using yellow yarn or preferred color for the center of your daisy. Ch 3, 8 DC in 1st ch (2 from hook) finish and tie off - (8)

Round 3: Change to white or your preferred petal color. Join in any DC loop and Ch 2, *TRC, Ch 1, TRC, Ch 2, Sl St, Ch 2* all in first St. Repeat (*) in each St around (8) Tie off and finish 

I used 24 Daisies for my afghan - 12 on each end. You may chose to use daisies on all 4 sides of your afghan edging, if so simply double your number of daisies. 

• Edging: 

Starting in corner stitch 1 SC first 3 St, *Ch 1, SL St in Ch (between 2 DC) of daisy petal, Ch 1, SC in next St, SC in next 2* Repeat (*) across to corner st, SC, Ch 1, SC. 

- If you chose to add daisies to all 4 sides of afghan continue around to starting corner st. In starting corner 1 SC, CH 1, SL into first ST of the round. 
 

- If you are only using daisies on 2 ends like my afghan, SC each down length of afghan and repeat daisy attachment on bottom, then SC back up remaining side. In starting corner 1 SC, CH 1, SL into first ST of the round. 

Ignore the ends that still need to be tucked.  My least favorite part!
