Crochet Brooch

Hello again lovelies! It has been too long since I've blogged my little crochet projects. Thing is, I've had many projects to complete and exams to study for... I didn't have the time to post things up. So here is my first post after a long break...

This little brooch took me around 20 minutes to make. I just love the colours on this yarn that I bought from Jogjakarta early last year. It has many fun colours on it and can be paired with many outfits I have in my closet. I believe I made this brooch in June last year and I have only worn it once. 

This brooch is made up of two pieces of identical crochet flowers stacked together. This is a very simple project. Listed out below would be the pattern I used to make the flowers. Forgive me if there are mistakes as this would be my first time writing out a pattern. Hope it works out for you. Good luck!

This is for those who are not familiar with the crochet abbreviations I used fo the pattern:

Ch --> Chain

sl st --> Slip Stitch

dc --> Double Crochet

ch st --> Chain Stitch

sc --> Single Crochet

hdc --> Half Double Crochet

Ch 4 and sl st to 1st ch st to make a hoop.

Ch 7, dc into hoop. (This creates one petal.)

(Ch 5, dc into hoop) repeat 4 times. (Thus creating 4 petals.)

Ch 5 and sl st into the 2nd ch st on the first petal. (You should now have 6 petals.)

(Sc, hdc, 3 dc, ch 3, 3hdc, 3dc, hdc and a sc) into all 6 petals.

Fasten off and leave a long tail at the end to attach a button of your choice and a pin to make a brooch or you can also use the flowers and attach it onto a hat or a cardigan. It would look great on anything. Thats all I have for you people today! Have a good day and toodles!

My passion...

I'm in love with crochet.

A day without it seemed odd.

I'm too hooked to it.

Its not as bad as I thought.

At least now I never get bored.

Crochet Rose Ring

Hello lovelies! 

This is a little something I made for myself. You can find many small crochet rose ring patterns online. and they are all very easy to make. It took me close to an hour to make this little rose ring. 

Though it looks pretty from the top, it looked a bit weird from the side. I still find trouble putting a rose together. I hope I improve though. 

With practice comes perfection. So I shall practice till I perfect my crochet rose.

Till next time! Ta ta for now! =)

Chevron Crochet Neckalce

Hello again!

This necklace was made in less than 15 minutes. It was that easy. I saw a pattern online for a chevron necklace and decided to make one for myself. Unfortunately, I am unable to find the pattern online now. I think it has been removed? I'm not too sure. So cheers to the owner who posted the pattern online, whoever you are. 

Anyway, this necklace was made in Yarn that i bought from Jogjakarta earlier this year. I hope to get more yarn from around the world. I am heading to Bangkok soon and I hope to stop by Big Knit Cafe and get my hands on as many yarn as I can carry back home. I really cannot wait for my little get-away. 

I'll be back soon with more pieces that I've made. Toodles people!

Little Projects along the way...

Hey again! So I made these little things whenever I had the time or was bored or had no mood to study and do my homework. You just produce amazing items whenever you're bored. So these are the results of when I was bored at home.

The two sets of brooches below were done for my Aunt. She wanted some nice crochet brooches to wear with her hijab so I made these for her. The brown is of my original design. *proud* While the black was taken from a blog site that I love. I actually used her design of the Sun Necklace and made one smaller so that I could layer it and turn it into a brooch. Click here to see the pattern for the Sun Necklace and do follow her blog for amazing creative projects that you can do on your own.

So this piece below was something I did when I saw its picture online while browsing for crochet flower ideas. The free pattern is on Ravelry but it didn't turn out well for my type of yarn. (I am using Aminah by the way) So I edited the design abit and turned out quite well for me. I never thought it woulr work but it did. *happy* Here is the link to the free pattern on Ravelry.

For this next piece, I saw that Prada made and are selling this square crocheted brooches. I dont even want to look at the pricetag on what they are selling. So I thought why not make it myself? Cheaper and I had a lot of fun. This piece took me just 20 minutes to make and its extremely easy to create. I didn't even need any patterns to make it. You can find the Prada square brooch if you Click Here

This is another project I made without any pattern. Totally out of my own mind. I just crocheted absent mindedly and ended up with this. Have yet to sew on the pink button to this flower. =)

Now this next piece is extremely tricky for me. Its not supposed to have that hole in the middle. I am still learning how to crochet using the magic circle properly but all in all, I say its not bad for my first try at a crochet heart.

So that's all I have for you guys today. I will update as and when I can. Toodles!

My sweet lil niece

How cute is this beautiful baby?

Welcome to the world little Wiyah!

Nice to finally meet you.

I hope you like my present.

It took me around 3-4 months to complete it as I had school projects to complete and truckloads of work to do.

One of my best works and I am very satisfied with how this beanie turned out.

It was supposed to be a baby owl beanie but my mom said it wasn't nice so a flower it is.

Anyhoo... I hope to make more for my lil niece as she grows.

Till next time! =)

Busy Little Fingers

So it has been so long since I've posted. I have completed many projects and sold many of them off. Unfortunately, I did not manage to take many pictures of the projects that I have done and sold off. The pictures that I took was saved in a small thumbdrive and I've lost it amidst the many boxes when I moved. I hope to uncover them soon and post my projects up here. 

Anyways, all the projects above took me less than 15 minutes each to make and they are extremely easy to make. I couldn't help making more of them to give to my little cousins.

On another note, I am a Auntie now! =)

I made a little baby beanie for my niece which I shall post a picture of soon. 

Till next time then! =)
