Quick Cat Mask -free crochet pattern-

Image
“… Stoic, silent, and mysterious, the cat represents the guardian of the Otherworld.  They keep the secrets of the Otherworld eternally to themselves, as they gaze with guile upon a world that does not see or understand the depth of their knowledge.” (http://www.whats-your-sign.com/cat-animal-symbolism.html) I wrote this pattern a couple of years ago and it was exclusively available on Ravelry as a PDF file. I almost forgot about it, until recently, because I was going through my free patterns list and creating a photo collage of my patterns.

Venetian Hanging Plant Holder

Image
I have loved the Venetian Lace square for a very long time. There's SO much you can do with it. I will get into those other projects another day, but today I am going to show you my hanging plant holders! It's a bit inspired by macrame, though I love crochet much more. This pattern can easily be adjusted to fit various different plant pots by adjusting your yarn (or thread) and hook. You are going to have to play with setting your gauge to get a specific size, but to be honest, I just winged it and both sizes that I made worked out perfect! The first hanging plant holder I made, I used a size 3.5mm crochet hook and worsted weight size 4 cotton crafting yarn. Each square measures approximately 6 inches. For the second plant holder, I used a size 2.00mm crochet hook and size 10 crochet thread. Each square measures about 4 inches. Just remember that these will stretch! The length of the straps is entirely up to you! THE PATTERN - you will be making five square...

Firene Wine Glass Lanyard -free crochet pattern-

Myself, oddly am not a big wine fan, amidst a family full of wine enthusiasts, but I do enjoy drinking my cider from a fancy wine glass, so this works!  This is not a new idea, you've probably seen more versions of this out there, but I wanted to try my own. I chose worsted weight cotton because it's sturdy and doesn't give off "the fuzzies" from the yarn like acrylic, because nobody wants yarn fuzz in their drink .  These are quick, fun and easy to make! One little ball of Bernat Handicrafter yarn makes two lanyards with a little bit of yarn left over. I used a small hook with a thick yarn, so this is supposed to be worked up quite tight. I didn't set a gauge, however, try not to let the tension get loose. If you need the glass holder smaller, easily omit chains in each round. And for a larger holder, add chains in each round. The same goes for if you prefer to work with a smaller weight of yarn,...
