Just in time for Halloween! Make one as a table decoration and fill it with all sorts of gruesome goodies, or put a long handle on it and take it with you as a candy basket when you go Trick or Treating <span style="color: red;">:) </span>It measures 20cm across and 25cm from top to bottom before felting, and 17 and 22cm respectively after felting.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">This basket is crocheted rather loosely and then felted. If you don't want to felt it you should adjust the hook size to get a firmer fabric. This will make a smaller basket, so you will probably need to use thicker yarn if you want a bigger, non-felted cauldron.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><b>You will need:</b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">* 6mm crochet hook</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">* Bulky pure wool yarn in black (make sure it's not Superwash - that won't felt!)</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">* Needle for sewing</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">* Small amount of polyester stuffing</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><b><i>Please note:</i></b> </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">The cauldron, the lid and the lid handle are all made in joined rounds. Always substitute the first stitch of a round with 'chain 2' (this counts as the first stitch), and always close the round with a sl st in the first stitch. The legs and pot handles are made in continous rounds, so use a stitch marker to keep track <span style="color: red;">:)</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><b>Special stitches:</b></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">There are two unsusual stitches in this pattern: The bobble stitch, and something I call <i>triple</i> <i>increase</i>, which is nothing more fancy than three sts in the same space <span style="color: red;">:) </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Make the bobble as follows:</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">*yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two loops on hook; repeat from * five more times, until you have a total of 7 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all loops at once. (The bobble will want to pop to the back of your work, and for this pattern that's the whole point <span style="color: red;">:) </span>In other patterns you have to poke the bobble to the front of the work with your crochet hook or something.) Continue crocheting like normal.<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Put the parts in the washing machine on a normal or quick cycle at 40-60 degrees C. If possible, use a setting with less water as this increases the felting. Put a pair of jeans or towels of matching colors in to help with agitation. You can also skip the spinning cycle at the end if possible, because this can cause creases in the felted fabric that will be hard to fix later. And remember it's better to use lower temperature and felt several times than to over-felt it the first time <span style="color: red;">:)</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">They are not quite like the shuttles you buy in a store, but they do work (I have tested them myself). You might need to get used to using a shuttle like this, because it is just a single "blade" and therefore has no bobbin to hold the thread out of the way while you tat. The thread also tends to get caught in the slits on the sides, but you'll get used to that, too, and soon you learn how to avoid it <span style="color: red;">:) </span>These shuttles can be made in card instead of plastic, but they are probably a lot less durable than the plastic ones.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">When you are happy with your shapes, use the hole-punch to make two holes in the shuttle.

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Next, cut slits in the shuttle from the edge to the holes - these are the grooves needed to wind the thread onto the shuttle, so make sure they are wide enough to fit the thread you plan to use <span style="color: red;">:)</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">If you think the edges are rough, too pointy or uneven, use the knife to round off the corners and smooth out the edges to prevent the thread from catching and fraying when you use the shuttle.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Finally, glue two (or more) pieces together if you want a sturdier shuttle. I found that a single sheet of plastic was strong enough, but thinner sheets might need to be glued together. Wait for the glue to dry completely, cut/scrape away any edges left by the glue, and the shuttle is ready for use <span style="color: red;">:)</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Felting:</span><br />
<br />
To felt the hat, put it in the washing machine on a normal cycle, 40-60 degrees C. If possible, reduce the amount of water to increase agitation. Add a pair of jeans or a towel with similar colors for added agitation. Skip the spinning cycle at the end because this can create creases in the hat and cause some areas to felt less than the rest. Repeat the felting if necessary, it's always better to felt several times than to felt it too much the first time <span style="color: red;">:)</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Put the basket in the washing machine on a normal cycle on 40-60 degrees C.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Remember that you can always repeat the washing if you want it to felt more.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you don't want to felt your basket you can just use a smaller hook to get firmer stitches.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">If you are making several rounds with the same color and don't want to cut the yarn for every round, there are two ways of starting the next round:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1: chain 5 instead of 3 (this counts as the 3rd dc in the last block, plus the chain space), when you make the last block of the round, dc 2, sl st in the 3rd chain of 'chain 5'. To begin the next round, make a sl st in the chain space, and then continue the round as usual...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2: sl st along the top of the block until you reach the chain space, start the new round as usual...</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The square can made as big or small as you want. Experiment with yarn and felting, the possibilities are many <span style="color: red;">:)</span></span></div>hattalahuttahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06470519065711025561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244928005176631849.post-34132654356464983652009-12-31T23:58:00.000+01:002009-12-31T23:58:30.737+01:00Crocheted marzipan cake<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You will need:</span></strong><br />

The first is crocheted with two strands of yarn, one dark brown and one beige. The other is crocheted with two strands of dark brown. Change the colors and decorate them in different ways, and you have lots of different candy treats. The wrappers are also the same, but with different colors. One strand of wool/acrylic yarn and one strand of shiny metallic. </span><br />

I have found that if you use bells, you need to put them inside some kind of container. If you put the bell(s) directly into your toy, the stuffing will muffle the sound a lot and the jingling disappears.. I have used the yellow plastic containers that you get in milk chocolate eggs (f. ex. Kinder-eggs), those are just the right size. Just put one or two bells inside and close it up <span style="color: red;">:)</span> If you want your toy to be washable, you should make sure that all openings are sealed. Use tape or glue to seal the container.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdFMoXUn01AlDVFQ8gSgQPcisa7532DxEulmjLoPa9PUVaiFWu4NnKGMLZCai-Qc7Sl4uiFt4k7m-pThNm9JjngXGZ6olo0lsyev8-6E9Ow865HUCeYT3gYkC6j4Uui9zckNfJWm3BKQo/s1600-h/rattle_icecream_004_medium.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdFMoXUn01AlDVFQ8gSgQPcisa7532DxEulmjLoPa9PUVaiFWu4NnKGMLZCai-Qc7Sl4uiFt4k7m-pThNm9JjngXGZ6olo0lsyev8-6E9Ow865HUCeYT3gYkC6j4Uui9zckNfJWm3BKQo/s320/rattle_icecream_004_medium.JPG" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif; text-align: justify;">Now, if you have a container but no bells, you can just as well use dried peas or small pebbles of stone or beads. Just make sure the container is completely sealed, because if the peas get wet, the result may not be too pleasant <span style="color: red;">:p</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
