Skill: Super  Easy

Materials:

Crochet Hook – I/ 5.25MM or 5.50MM (measure as you go)

Yarn: Worsted Weight (4)

                      I used Caron Simply Soft Party – Green / Silver

                      I Love This Yarn White (demo)

                      Small Amount of Black

                      Small Amount of Variegated For light – I used Red Heart Saver Saver – Fiesta

Yarn Needle
Tape Measure

Stitches:

Chain (ch)

Slip Stitch (sl st)

Half Double Crochet (hdc)

Back Loop Only (BLO)

Size:  3 inches wide X 20 inches around.(adult 20 -22 inches head - 
remember headbands are stretchy)
Adjustable to Any and All Sizes – 2 Rows = 1 inch

Notes:

Ch 1 Does not Count as a Stitch.

Headband:

R: 1 – Ch 11, 1 hdc in the 2^nd ch from the hook, 1 hdc in each ch across,

Turn, ch 1 (10 hdc)

R: 2 – BLO, 1 hdc in each hdc, turn, ch 1 (10 hdc)

R: 3 – R: 40 – Repeat R: 2 For a 20 inch head.

       Or as many rows as needed for your head size.

Once your headband is as long as need for your head,

 tie off leaving a 24 inch tail of yarn.

Wire For The Lights:
Thread a 18 to 24 inch piece of Black Thread onto the needle.

Beginning at the 10th row, stitch the “wire”

For the Christmas lights using long stitches.
I stitch one way, then turn and stitch back the other way.

Leave the last 10 Rows empty.
Tie off and secure the ends of the black yarn.

Remember not to stitch to tightly as the headband needs to be able to stretch.

Christmas Lights:

Cut about an 18 inch of Colorful variegated yarn. Thread it onto your needle.

Coming up through the bottom randomly stitch on the light,

 by stitching 1 short stitches together.

I stitch going one way, then turn and fill in more “lights” coming back the other way

So I end at the same place I began. Secure the ends together.

Again remember not to pull to tightly, so the headband can still stretch.

Lastly – Place the ends of the headband together, right side out,

and slst them together with the tail of yarn we left on the headband.

Tie off weaving in the ends.

I Just a great idea,

I think I better get the lights

 on the tree!

But I can not decide which one
 to wear. 
Oh!  I better make a red one to go with my Christmas Sweater.

Crochet Snow Globe Ornaments By Repeat Crafter Me | Posh Pooch Designs

Crochet Snow Globe Ornaments 

By Repeat Crafter Me

Crochet Pattern Review 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I have been looking at all The beautiful Snow globes

 that everyone is making, and wanted to make some too.

I love her patterns, they are always whimsical and fun.

And of course, well written and easy to follow.

You can find the Free Crochet Pattern  Here

I Made 3 Sizes.

The Small and Medium ones are crocheted exactly

 like the pattern calls for.

The largest one, I stitched it up exactly like the medium

 size, only I used 2 strands of yarn held together 

and J / 6.00MM Crochet Hook.

I Love this Pattern and I Love how my 

Snow Globes Turned out.

Another thing I did, was to stiffen them up, 

is I sprayed them with

KRYLON Glitter Blast Diamond Dust.

It's perfect for stiffening items made with yarns, 

and it gives them a glitter effect.

I have tried other techniques, but this Spray

 is my Favorite.

I Spray it, let it Dry, then Spray again.

You can Usually Find it in the Craft Departments of 

most Stores by the Hot Glue.

I Love The way the Snow Globes look 

hanging over my Christmas Village.

"Live With Sara "Can I Iron A Patch on A Crochet Projects?" | Posh Pooch Designs

Can I Iron A Patch on A Crochet Projects?

With Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄⛄

Can I Iron A Patch on A Crochet Projects?

I do not recommend ironing on a Patch to any crochet project

 made of  Acrylic yarn. Now having said that, 

I do know people who do this. 

The issue is not the patch, but the yarn.

Acrylic yarn can burn very easily, and it can ruin your

 project in a matter of seconds.

I would imagine that if you are using a Cotton yarn

 it would be fine.

I talked with a few of my Crochet Peeps and they said, 

they suggest hand sewing the patch on with clear thread or 
thread to match the trim of the patch.

I have never done this my self, but it sounds like a great solution.

The clear thread is not visible and it's a sturdy thread.

Kwanzaa Luminary Jar Cozie By Special Request | Posh Pooch Designs

Kwanzaa Luminary Jar Cozie 

Crochet Pattern By Special Request

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

A Very Dear Friend asked me to make a Luminary for her

 Kwanzaa Party, after seeing the other Jar cozies that I had designed. 
The Party is at her mom's apartment, and  they are not allowed to use
 real candles. She wants to give them to her family and friends,
 as a reminder of the party and the time spent together. 

 I am so very honored that she asked me to design 

the Luminary. I wasn't sure how Kwanzaa was celebrated,
 and wanted to make sure I was respectful
 and represented  it right.
I hope I did this Beautiful Celebration justice.

A Brief Explanation:

"The celebration honors African Heritage in African-American culture
 and is observed from December 26 to January 1, 
culminating in a feast and gift giving.

Kwanzaa has seven core principles (Nguzo Saba).
 It was created by Maulana Karenga and was first celebrated in 1966–67."

I was inspired By the Kwanza Candles.

During Kwanzaa a special candle holder called a kinara is used. 

A kinara holds seven candles, three red ones on the left, three green ones on

 the right, with a black candle in the center.

If you would Like to learn more about what Kwanzaa
 is Click This LINK

So pretty all lite up!
