YARNIE Crochet Pillow Pattern

Yarnie A person obsessed with all things  yarn . They always have something yarn related on them. They are usually multi-craftual. (Knit,  Crochet , Weave) With interest more in the yarn itself verse what is made with it. They often  hoard  yarn that is very expensive just  because they like th e yarn.  -Urban Dictionary  I still can't believe I acco mplished this project. It took me a lot of planning and a few trial runs before I finally got it to come together properly and it sure w as worth it! I am pretty proud of this pillow pattern and I'm so excited to share it with you! 😁 This is going to be pretty long so let's not waste anymore time and just get right into it.  This pattern requires a 20 in x 12 in pillow form and is constructed with two panels, a front and back. Basically two crochet patterns in one. 😉 I purchased my pillow form from Amazon .com. It was actually a little difficult to find the proper size pillow I was going to need. I'll link it here to hope

Twisted Knit Headband


Once you have the assembly idea down these headbands can be made so many different ways.
This version is made with double pointed needles (DPNS) and there are a few benefits to making it this way but, if you’re not comfortable with DPNS then you can apply the same concepts explained here to really get creative and make your headband however you like. You could crochet one too!

Knitting in the round with DPNS can achieve a very warm headband since it’s double the thickness and the end product has no visible seams. The trade off is that  it takes longer and uses more yarn.

If you’re comfortable knitting in the round with DPNS then this project will be pretty basic for you. If you not then it could be a good way to get comfortable with the technique... then you’ll be ready to tackle some knit socks 😉.  I suggest getting familiar with this technique before you start since the pattern is written assuming you know how to knit in the round with DPNS. Look to YouTube for help! There are so many awesome video tutorials on this technique.


Twisted Knit Headband - Pattern

Materials:
worsted weight yarn (number 4)
4 DPNS in the corresponding size for your yarn
yarn needle and scissors

I used Big Twist yarn that has been discontinued 😔 with US 8 or 5.0mm DPNS.
My finished piece measures 10 inches wide and fits the average adult head circumference.

Pattern:
Cast on 37 stitches. You will want to divide the sts up to have 12 on each needle after joining in the round.

Knit knit knit away until your piece reaches 21.5 inches and then bind off knit-wise and weave in the ends.

Now for the interesting part! You want to lay your piece flat and make sure it’s folded evenly. Take the two ends and fold each in half horizontally. Reference the photos :)
You want to intertwine the two ends, as shown in the photos below, and seam them all together. This creates the twisted effect once flipped right side out.












And that’s it! As I mentioned earlier you can apply this same technique to create the twist to any kind of headband you make whether it’s knitted or crocheted. Happy making, friends! 😄

Crocheted Pizza Keychain

These were honestly so fun to make! If you love pizza or know someone who loves pizza, then I encourage to make this little keychain! I used all scrap yarn which was very satisfying and made me rethink making a scrap yarn blanket 😛 I got the keychains off of amazon I'll leave the link here: Keychains! To create the triangles you will do a single crochet decrease (sc dec) every row after row 1. To do this I go into the front of the loop of two stitches and then pull through both to sc. This makes two stitches into one! Materials:  Keychain Worsted weight yarn in red, tan, and yellow Crochet hooks in 2.25mm (B) and 3.25mm (D) Yarn needle Scissors Needle nose pliers Pattern: Tip: I always leave long tails when I know I'm going to be seaming or attaching parts.  Back Using tan yarn and the 3.25mm hook, ch 11 sts Row 1: sc into the second stitch from hook and across the row to the end. Ch 1 and turn. Row 2: sc dec and then sc to the end. Ch 1 and turn.

The Pawsome Pet Mat

Some time ago I crocheted a little pet food mat for my cat, Franklin. I used the tapestry crochet technique to make little paw prints and his name on the mat. It's still my most loved post on Instagram and I wanted to make something that would better suit more makers considering not everyone has a cat or small dog named Franklin 😜 And so The Pawsome Pet Mat was what I came up with for you! 😻 The name idea was actually inspired by a yarn friend @pretty.pine.tree.crochet I modified my original version of the pet mat by removing my cat's name and instead added bigger and better paw prints. It is still a small mat; the finished piece without the tassels is about 14 x 11 in. If you need the mat to be larger to fit your pets food bowls feel free to play around with the template to make it work for you. The Pawsome Mat - Google Sheet Template  The template linked above is essentially the pattern and I explain the finishing touches further here in this post. I uploaded
