Dolls

As well as Hair-Pin Flowers I can make things like dolls, previously made with a pattern from a book named Made By Me, by Jane Bull, but now I can make it without the pattern and have the simple instructions in my head, but you will need to use the book, because you need the pattern and you can't do that without the book or without a copy of the end of the book. Even thought his is true it is quite simple once you have the pattern. You only need to sew it up and decorate it in any way you want, like embroider eyes on and sew wool on to their heads for hair. Then when you've done that, well... You're done!

Hair-Pin Flowers Pattern

Hello, as this is a new blog I don't expect anyone will have seen this yet but I have come up with my very first pattern to feature on my blog! So, here it is:

Abbreviations (US) (Because US are the ones I learnt)
sc- single crochet
ch- chain
rpt- repeat
1: Ch 3 and work 3sc into 1st chain made for join. (3)
2: (sc in 1st sc, 2sc in next sc) rpt even around, twice. (18)
3: Fasten off yarn and cut. With another color sc into where you left off.
4: (Ch 5, sc into next sc) rpt even around.
5: Ch 1, sc into gap between 1st petal and last petal.
6: You should now have 10 petals on your flower, then fasten off yarn and cut.
8:Use the left over yarn from the beginning that is in the middle of the flower to fasten it to a clip or make it into a hook so you can hang it up.

So now you're done and I hope you have fun making these tiny little flowers. : ) Also for more by me and many others, see the crafty, yarn inspired website Ravelry.
