**** IMPORTANT, YOU CANNOT WORK AHEAD IN YO YO CROCHET. YOU MUST ATTACH EACH YO YO TO IT'S NEIGHBOUR AS YOU WORK. TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO IT AFTERWARDS, SO DON'T CREATE EACH PANEL OR CHRISTMAS TREE SEPARATELY AND HOPE TO ATTACH THEM LATER... IT WON'T COME TOGETHER RIGHT ****

Yo Yo Crochet is So Simple In Concept and Yet So Fabulous To Look At. Here's your pattern.

You will find two attachments that are free. You can use the Christmas Tree Skirt Pattern as I have just coloured in the graph to show you where your colours need to be and I have provided you free hexagonal graph paper so that you can plan your own Yo Yo Crochet Patterns.

The Yo Yo's are about 3" in diameter to 4" depending on the size of your hook.

Use a Size I Hook for best results. I have used Size K as well but it appears LOOSEY GOOSEY and probably not a great look in comparison to an "I" Hook.

PATTERN:

1 - Chain 4 and Slip Stitch To Create A Ring!

2 - Chain Up 3, Double Crochet 11 Times. (The first chain of 3 counts as one Double Crochet Automatically giving a final of 12). Slip Stitch at the end to complete the circle.

3 - Chain up 3, Single Crochet into the next Stitch, Then Chain 3, Then Single Crochet Next Stitch, Then Chain 3, Repeat all the way around. Slip stitch at the end and cast off.

Each Yo Yo Only has these 3 steps.

HOWEVER... to attach the YO YO's together, there are methods of attaching! You need to attach them together when you are chaining between the Double Crochet on the final rotation. You must do this and attach as you go. Materials

Small bit of any yarn. I used Vanna’s Choice, worsted weight yarn.

Any crochet hook you’d like. I used a size H (5.0mm).

Special Stitches

Puff Stitch (PS): *Yo, insert hook in loop. Yo, draw up a loop. Yo, draw through 2 loops.* (<– I like to think of this as the first part of a regular dc if that helps. Just leave off the last “yo, pull through 2 loops” you’d normally do when crocheting a dc.) Repeat from * to * twice more. 4 loops on hook. Yo, pull through all 4 loops.

Directions

Ch 3, join with sl st to form loop.

Round 1: ch 2, PS, ch 4. *PS, ch 4* Repeat from * to * 4 more times. 5 Puff Stitches total. Join to first PS with sl st.

Round 2: Into each ch-4 space work, *sc, 5 dc, sc*. To join, sl st in top of first ch.

Fasten off, leaving a 10 inch tail to weave onto a hat, pin, purse, sweater… whatever you’d like!

Size P crochet hook (11.5mm)

Super Bulky Yarn. I used Lionbrand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in a heather gray, but any bulky yarn will work.

Special Stitches

FCH – Foundation Chain (or single crochet): Chain 2. Insert hook in the first of two chains. Yarn over, draw through loop (chain stitch just created). Yarn over, pull through two loops on hook. (Single crochet created). You now have two fch completed. *Insert hook in upper loop of stitch just created. Yarn over, draw through loop. Yarn over, pull through two loops on hook.* Three fch completed. Repeat from * to *across for desired number of chain stitches.

HHDC – Herringbone Half Double Crochet. Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch. Yarn over, pull through two loops on hook. (This will be a little awkward, but it’s correct. You might have to use your left thumb and forefinger to really hold the stitches so you can pull through both of them.) Yarn over, pull through two loops on hook.

Fancy Star Flower

Original Design by Fiber Star – Samantha Stopple

Copyright March 2006 - You are free to use these designs for your personal use. You may sell items you make with these. You may NOT hire someone to make these to sell. If you do make these please make note that you used my design. When you print off these patterns please include this copyright information.

For flowers I suggest the following:

ww yarn of you choice in 2-3 colors

I liked to use a texture yarn to jazz up the flower

F hook

needle to weave in ends

I used the following yarns to make my flowers:

Plymouth Encore

Lion Brand Micro-fiber

Bernat and Moda Dea fancy yarns

Caron Simply Soft

NOTES:

Picot= ch3, sl st in top of dc

Join: Where ever it says join you can sl st to join or you can do an invisible join

Finishing off: Weave in ends or leave some ends for sewing on to another project

You can work the flowers in a single color or change colors at each round.

Round1:

Ch8 sl st join to form ring; Ch1

15 sc in ring sl st to join

Round2:

Ch8 Skip 2sc then sc in nxt st around, sl st to join, ch1

[(1sc, 1hd, 3dc, ch1,3dc, 1hdc, 1sc. ) all in the Ch 3 loop, ch1] repeat for each chain loop

Here's the first step which is the same as the basic flower.

If changing colors here: Join in any ch1 loop

*sl st into the back loop sts across then (1 dc, 1dc & picot, 1dc) into the ch1 space, sl st across previous sts* then repeat from *to* then join

Here's the finished flower.

I used a Mod Dea Fancy purple for the center, Caron Simply Soft for the first petal color a Caron Siply Soft Purple for the second color. I did not use a center effect option for the flower.

Center effect for the flower:

To create that pollen center effect in the flower, I suggest using a color with some texture to mimic the textured look many flowers have from stamens and pollen or a different color.

A: sc in each sc of the ring

B: sc ch1 around

C: sc ch2 around

BASIC Star Flower – 4 Petals

You can work the flower in a single color or change colors at each round.

Round 1:

Ch6, sl st to for ring; Ch1

12 sc in the ring, sl st to join

Round 2:

Ch8, skip 2sc, sc in the nxt st around for four petals sl st to join in the beg of the first Ch8; In ch8 do the following: (2 sc, 1hdc, 2dc, 1dc & picot, 2dc, 1hdc, 2sc)

join

Flower before adding the center option and after adding the center option.

I used a reddish Plymouth Encore for the main color and a fancy yarn, which is either a Bernat or Mod Dea to complete the option C center to make the small flower.

For a slightly larger flower:

Ch10; in each Ch10 do the following: (3sc, 1hdc, 2dc, 1dc &picot, 2dc, 1hdc, 3sc) join

I used purple Plymouth Encore for the main color and the same fancy yarn as above using option B for the center to make a slightly larger flower.

BASIC Star Flower – 5 Petals

You can work the flower in a single color or change color at each round.

Round 1:

Ch8 , join, ring; Ch1

15 sc in the ring, sl st to form a ring

Round 2:

Ch8, skip 2sc, sc in the nxt st around for four petals sl st to join in the beg of the first Ch8

(2 sc, 1hdc, 2dc, 1dc & picot, 2dc, 1hdc, 2sc) join

The 5 petal start flower before and after adding the center option.

I use Lionbrand Micro Spun in purple for the main color and a Mod Dea fancy purple yarn using option A for the center.

For a larger petal/flower:

Ch10 instead of Ch8 then do the following in each ch10: (3sc, 2hdc, 2dc, 1dc &picot, 2dc, 2hdc, 3sc) join

Center effect for both the 4 and 5 petal flower:

To create that pollen center effect in the flower, I suggest using a color with some texture to mimic the textured look many flowers have from the stamens/pollen or use a different color.

A: sc in each sc of the ring

B: sc ch1 around

C: sc ch2 around

Maybe introduce a picot stitch too! Or if you do a larger flower maybe you could repeat the smaller flower instructions from Round 2 around for a three-dimensional affect.

The Basic Flower

Original Design by Fiber Star – Samantha Stopple

I used the following yarns to make my flowers:

Plymouth Encore

Lion Brand Micro-fiber

Bernat and Mod Dea fancy yarns

Caron Simply Soft

NOTES:

Joining: Where ever it says join you can sl st to join or you can do an invisible join

Finishing off: Weave in ends or colors if you want.

You do need to know how to add new colors.

The Basic Flower:

You can work the flowers in a single color or change colors at each round.

Round 1:

Ch8 sl st join to make ring; Ch1

15 sc in ring, sl st to join

Round 2 options:

Small flower:

Ch6 skip 2st sc in next st around to make 5 petals (5 – 6ch loops) sl st to join;ch1; [(1sc, 1hdc, 2dc,ch1,2dc, 1hdc, 1sc) in the loop, ch1] around for each petal; join, fasten off

Medium flower:

Ch8 skip 2st sc in next st around to make 5 petals (5 – 8ch loops), sl st to join; ch1; [(2sc, 1hdc, 3dc,ch1, 3dc, 1hdc, 2sc ), ch1]; join

Here's what a medium flower looks like changing colors. I used Caron Simply Soft Orchid for the petals and a Mod Dea fancy purple for the center.

Large flower:

Ch10, skip 2sc, sc in the nxt st around for four petals sl st to join in the beg of the first Ch10; (3sc, 2hdc, 2dc, 1 tr, 2dc, 2hdc, 3sc) join

Round 3:

You can add more color:

Create a two-colored flower by doing an additional row around the petals in a different color:

Here’s an idea for the medium flower:

[(3sc, 2dc,3tr(in ch1), 2dc, 3sc) sc around ch1] for each petal, join, fasten off

Here's a flower I made adding an additonal row of color:

Using Caron Simply Soft Orchid to make Rounds 1& 2 then I used Mod Dea purple fancy yarn for round 3 to make a two colored flower I added a center effect using Mod Dea again doing option B.

Center effect for the flower:

To create that pollen center effect in the flower, I suggest using a color with some texture to mimic the textured look many flowers have from stamens/pollen or a different color.

A: sc in each sc of the ring

B: sc ch1 around

C: sc ch2 around

Maybe introduce a picot stitch too! Or if you do a larger flower maybe you could repeat the smaller flower instructions from Round 2 around for a three-dimensional affect.

Fancy Star Flower

The Basic Star Flower

The Basic Flower

Flower Dolls

Directions

FCH 45. (If you can’t quite get the foundation chain, don’t panic! You can do a regular chain 45 and still be fine. A FCH just creates a stretchier base which will be better for your cowl, but either works!)

Round 1: Chain 2 (counts as first HHDC now and throughout). HHDC in each stitch across. (45 HHDC)

Round 2: Chain 2, turn. HHDC in the BACK LOOP ONLY of each stitch across. (45 HHDC)

Repeat Round 2 9 more times or until yarn ends.

Fasten off, leaving a 12″ tail to whip stitch ends. Match short ends of rectangle and whip stitch together. Weave in ends.

You’re finished! I’d love to see your new project and so would the world. Show off your new crochet cowl in JJCrochet’s Customer Gallery or post your project on Ravelry.

Crocheted Deco-Ribbon Flower*

Use this flower to pin onto a bag (as we did on the Raggedy Knit Bag HERE) or as a garment trim. Make several to decorate a shawl or jacket.

Kim used a Crystal Palace Bamboo Crochet Hook size H/8 and Deco-Ribbon color 9147, "berry parfait" with an accent of tangerine in the center.

Make 8ch, sl st into first ch to form a ring.

Round 1: 3ch (count as 1dc), into ring work 1dc. (6ch, 3dc) 5 times, 6ch, 1dc, sl st into 3rd of 3ch at beg of round.

Round 2: *1ch, into next 6ch arch work (1sc, 1hdc, 7dc, 1hdc, 1sc), 1ch, skip 1dc, 1 sl st into next dc: rep from * 5 times more placing last sl st into 3rd of 3ch at beg of previous round. Fasten off.

Round 1: Chain 3, crochet 20 dc in ring (I don't count the ch 3 as a dc, because it's so clumsy to join to it), change to petal color, slip stitch to first dc to join.

Round 2: Chain 1, sc around, join to first sc.

Round 3: Chain 1, sc in same stitch. *skip 1 stitch, 7 dc in next stitch, skip 1 stitch, sc in next stitch* repeat between * 4 more times, 5 petals total. Join to first sc, weave in ends.

Add hanging loop if you feel like it - personally I think they look better without, I just toss them in the laundry after use anyway.

Shamrock Starting Chain: Chain 18, sl st in the 10th ch, to form a circle with part of the chain.

First Leaf: work (3 sc, 3 dc, 6 tr, 3 dc, 3 sc) all in the ch-10 circle just made (first shamrock leaf formed).

Second Leaf: Ch 10, sl st in the 10th ch of the beginning shamrock chain (this is the same spot as the base of first leaf made), for next leaf: work (3 sc, 3 dc, 6 tr, 3 dc, 3 sc) all in the ch-10 circle just made.

Third Leaf: Ch 10, sl st in the 10th ch of the beginning shamrock chain (same spot as base of last leaf made), work (3 sc, 3 dc, 6 tr, 3 dc, 3 sc) all in the ch-10 circle just made. Sl st in base of leaf. Do not end off - continue with stem.

Stem: To form shamrock stem: sc in ea of remaining 8 chains of the beginning ch-18.

To finish: End off. Weave in ends.

Chunky Bangle Pattern

So, I needed a space for my crochet patterns and I thought hey, why not try out this blogging malarkey, and here I am.

I'll start with something relatively simple. This pattern was originally going to be a submission for the CLF 3rd book but I sort of missed the deadline. Nevermind, here it is in all it's glory and for free too!

I like these bangles, they're comfy and they don't make a loud racket when you move your arms!

I used Rowan Cotton Rope (Aran weight) but any aran weight would do. Gauge is not important, just make sure the starting chain can fit around your wrist!

I used a 4.5mm hook, smaller than stated on the yarn, just to make the gauge tight so the bangle has more structure.

Oh and just to make things more complicated I write in UK terms!

Abbreviations:

ch: chain

dc: double crochet

sl st: slip stitch

blo: back loop only

ws: wrong side

sts: stitches

Ch 35, sl st into 1st chain to join (careful not to twist the chain!)

Row 1: Ch 1, dc in one leg of each foundation ch around. Sl st into 1st dc to join

Row 2: Work all sts in blo. Ch 1, dc in each dc around. Sl st to 1st dc to join

Rows 3 & 4: Repeat row 2

To finish, fold in half with ws facing to form bangle shape. Sl st around, joining blo of Row 4 to one leg of foundation ch. end off.

For the black and red bangle I alternated the colours each row, for the red and yellow I changed colour for rows 2&3 then back to the original colour for row 4

Happy bangling!
