The knot stitch capelet is great to wear when it’s breezy outside. This capelet is also great for practicing your knot stitches. It is made with a simple round of single crochet and double crochet at the top, followed by rounds and rounds of knot stitches. This gives the capelet a very light, elegant lacey look. One size fits most and it can easily be adjusted if needed.

Skill Level:

Finished Size: 13” (33 cm) wide at neck, 9” (13 cm) long

Materials: Medium Weight Yarn (approximately 350 yards) Crochet Hook F (3.75 mm)

The loop on the knot stitch is approximately 3/4″ long. How to crochet knot stitch?

Crochet Pattern: Capelet
Round 1: Ch 150 (or multiple of 3), ch 1, sl st in first ch forming loop, place marker
Round 2: sc in each ch around
Round 3: sl st in next sc, ch 2, dc in each sc around, sl st on top of ch-2
Round 4: (make 2 knots, skip 2 dc, sl st in next dc) around
Round 5 – 13: (make 2 knots, skip 1 knot, sl st in next knot) around
Finish off.

Crochet Tips:

• To change the size of the neck hole, simply alter the number of chains made in round 1.
• To change the length of the capelet, repeat the last round of pattern until the capelet is the desired length.
• To crochet a less dense capelet, use a larger hook and vice versa for a denser capelet.
• For a thicker capelet, make 2 layers of knot stitches by repeating round 5 – 13 then sewing the bottom of the capelet to the top of round 4.

The shell stitch blanket is simple yet elegant. It is crocheted with rows and rows of shell stitches. Each shell stitch is staggered so that it creates a beautiful pattern. This is intended to be a generic blanket pattern, so that you can create any blanket size that you desire. Simply follow the initial instructions to determine the proper number of foundation chains needed for your desired blanket size.

Skill Level:

Finished Size: Whatever you want it to be!

Materials: Medium Weight Yarn Crochet hook

Need help understanding the abbreviations? Check out the crochet abbreviation chart.

Crochet Pattern: Blanket
Row 1: make a chain as wide as you want your blanket.
(Note: the number of chains should be a multiple of 6, since each shell uses 6 chains.)
Row 2: ch 2, sc in second ch from hook, (skip 2, 5 dc in next ch, skip 2, sc in next ch) across, changing color in last sc made
Row 3: ch 2, turn, 2 dc in next sc, skip 2, sc in next dc (skip 2, 5 dc in next sc, skip 2, sc in next dc) across, skip 2, 3 dc in last sc, changing color in last dc made
Row 4: ch 1, turn, sc in next dc, (skip 2, 5 dc in next sc, skip 2, sc in next dc) across, changing color in last sc made

Repeat row 3 and 4 until blanket is the length you desire.

To create border, double crochet around your finished blanket. You can change colors as desired. For the finishing shell border just follow the shell pattern, (skip 2, 5 dc in next ch, skip 2, sc in next ch) around.

Crochet Tips:

• For beginners, it is really easy to miss count your stitches. Even I miss count all the time. So just be careful!
• Each shell (set of 5 double crochets) you make should be positioned between two shells on the previous row.
• Each single crochet after the shell (set of 5 double crochets) should be positioned on top of a shell on the previous row.

A crochet cube can be used for many projects. You can make baby blocks, dice, tissue box covers or gift boxes. The ideas are limitless. Crocheting a cube can be done using multiple methods. You can either crochet all 6 sides of the cube separately then sew them together, or you can crochet your cube in the round. This tutorial explores crocheting your cube without sewing pieces together, thus crocheting in the round.

The basic idea is to start by creating a square and then make it three dimensional by crocheting around it with out increasing the amount of stitches in each round. To make the bottom of the cube, each round is slowly decreased to close the bottom. To make different sized cubes, just make the initial square the size that you want it.
