A C2C granny Kerchief and tote bag combination which can be made with just under 500g of Stylecraft Bellissima (or other DK yarn)

Yarn cakes work especially well with this pattern. 2 x 150g of Stylecraft Candy Swirl is enough to make an 85cm in diameter circular shawl. The pattern works equally well with solid colour yarns and variegated yarns. Although the pattern requires concentration it is easy enough for a novice crocheter to execute.

The Plane Trip Scarf is a “baktus” style scarf - meaning that there are 2 equal sides, 2 equal angles and the apex angle (point) of the scarf is wider than 90 degrees (obtuse).

I finally got around to it - the result is a long “baktus style” scarf with two possible edgings. Either a frilly edge for a whimsical look or a zig-zag bobble edging. (The original Ro...

This is a very versatile pattern which can be made into a tray cloth, placemat, table runner, tablecloth, or even a blanket by increasing the number of squares made.

A Sunflower Mandala (or Doily) which can be made up in the yarn of you choice (remember to adjust your hook according to your yarn weight). A DK (8ply) cotton with a 4.50mm hook produces a cloth of approximately 30cm in diameter

I used Raeesah Cotton Soft DK for my test patterns with a 5.50mm hook. The Raeesah is slightly thicker than the Stylecraft Cotton - adjust your hook size according to your tension and the yarn you are using. Gauge is not all that important - so any yarn thickness is suitable.
