Crochet Pattern: Angel Wings Necklace

Posted in Free Crochet Patterns on February 2nd, 2011 by Claire Ortega-Reyes – 48 Comments
They say accessories have the power to make or break an outfit. Purchasing them can also break the bank! Why buy when you can make some yourself? 

I just love the look of those bib necklaces that went mainstream last year. But I couldn’t imagine myself actually wearing one of those gem-laden beauties–I’m more of a t-shirt and sneakers kind of gal.

So I made myself something that has a similar look; something that makes a statement but can still be worn as an everyday addition to outfits.

Does the necklace look familiar? I used the fans in the Royal Scarf Crochet Pattern to achieve the lacy yet solid look for this necklace.

Crochet Pattern: Musical Notes

Posted in Free Crochet Patterns on January 6th, 2011 by Erin Burger – 30 Comments
These fairly small appliques would be perfect sewn onto a musical lovers blanket or scarf! The pattern is also great for using up scraps since each note takes just a very small amount of yarn. Experiment with different sizes of notes by using different hooks and yarns. Because of the long staff on the eighth note, take care when sewing this applique on, I recommend tightly pinning it on first to ensure the staff of the note stays straight.
