Crocheting Project ideas and patterns

[MoBookworm1957]

Oh! Lordy!
My pattern is so old it was my Granny's pattern.
That's the pattern she tried to teach everyone when she was teaching us to crochet.
Let me see if I still have written directions.
I just make them automatically now.

Sorry didn't find instructions.

@MoBookworm1957 Have you seen patterns to make your own socks? It's a finer yarn, but how cozy! Maybe that's not something you're interested in making, but they are certainly useful and do wear out. Just a thought. I have a friend who knits so I make her homemade lotion and she makes me socks I love them year 'round.

Haven't tried them yet.

@MoBookworm1957 Not sure if it's something you'd be interested in at all, but when I go to estate sales, one of the things I look for is pillow cases with the crocheted edges. Also, one of my favorite gifts that I beg of my mom when need be is the flour sack towels with the crocheted edges. I'm thinking a holiday bazaar with such items might make some nice "extra" money. Some people don't like using the crochet thread - not sure your thoughts. My mom only does because I whine - I'm her kid . Anyhoo, just a thought.

Knitted washcloths

This design or pattern looks like the hot pads or pot holders that were made for me. Can't tell if it is the same stitch. Thanks for posting it!!

 

[MoBookworm1957]

You're welcome.
I'm told it's a Purl stitch.
But I'm left handed so it looks knitted to me.
You start with 2 stitches on your knitting needles and increase until you get the desired size.
This is a part of a child's Christmas gift made with leftover yarn out of grand daughter's yarn basket.

My Wife is into crocheting. We have yarn everywhere lol.

She made me this a few years ago. She has also made Harley Blankets. She also made a queen size for our bed that is black with a full moon and a wolf silhouette.

I love it when the guys show off their sweetheart's work. Equally enjoy seeing woodworking and all the crafty stuff everyone does.
Lost touch with my friend, but I think she crocheted the hot pads. They are the BEST.
Pretty afghan throw by your sweetie, @Curmudgeon !

I saw this pattern and immediately was drawn to it, because of the possibilities of using something like this when going on a walk, or somewhere that carrying a purse or backpack is awkward. After I looked at this yesterday, I thought about making something similar out of leather. If I was to crochet this, I would not use this yarn.
