PDF WRITTEN PATTERN LINK:


Skill level: Beginner+
Stitch abbreviations used in this pattern:
CH – Chain
DC – Double crochet
ST - Stitch
You can use any yarn with the recomended hook
I used 8ply/DK/Sports Weight and a 4mm/G hook
Yarn needle
Scissors
CHANGING COLORS:
To change colors during your project, you do so on the last stitch of your previous row worked.
Do so by completing the first part of your stitch.
Follow here:
To change to another color yarn on last stitch, Yarn over, insert hook into space, yarn over, pull through, yarn over and pull through 2 loops. Now loop the new color yarn over your hook and pull through remaining 2 loops on your hook.
Drop previous color used in back of work along with tail of new color yarn and continue on with your pattern. Make sure to pull on your ends a little to secure your work. Remember to weave in your ends, either when all done or you can work over the tails of yarn as soon as you change colors to avoid doing it all later.
Chain multiple:  4
To start, chain in multiples of 4 until you reach your desired width.
Row 1:  DC into 4th chain from the hook. DC again in the same st. CH-1, skip 3 chains,  3DC in next chain, *(CH-1, skip 3 chains, 3DC in next chain)* Repeat from * to * ending with 3DC in last chain space.
Row 2:  CH 4 (counts as 1st DC and CH-1), turn work. 3DC into next chain space, CH-1, *(3DC into chain space, CH-1)* Repeat from * to * ending with 1DC into very last stitch (top of ch-3 from previous row)
**Note: When you START a row with 1DC you END the row with 1DC.  Same if you START a row with 3DC you END with 3DC. (Chain 4 is 1 dc + ch)
Row 3: CH 3, work 2DC into chain space, CH-1, *(3DC into chain space, CH-1)*  Repeat from * to * across, ending with 3DC. (To give a nice edge, work 2DC into space and 3rd DC into top of CH-3 from previous row)
Alternate between Row 2 & 3 until you reach the desired length of your scarf.

You could do this flower in any yarn and needle and any length you desire.  If you’re going make a few of these Rosette flowers, it’s a good idea to write down how many chains you did and what length they were.

Single crochet or Crab Stitch or Rope Stitch as it is also known as, works from left to right.  So you’ll be doing single crochet backwards. 

Insert the hook, from front to back, in the next stitch to the right.  Making sure the right side of your work is facing you. Yarn Over and draw the yarn through the stitch.  Yarn over and draw the yarn through the 2 loops on the hook.  One reverse single crochet is now complete. 

US Terms
SC - Single Crochet
RSC - Reverse Single Crochet
Ch – Chain

Row 1: Make a slip knot and ch for 60cms or whatever length you wish.

Row 2: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in every ch across, ch1 DO NOT TURN because you will be working backwards

Row 3: Ch1 counts as first sc. RSC across all your sc stitches from row 2 to the end.  Fasten off leaving a tail 30 cms long.

Sowing up your flower

Wrap/roll your flower little at a time and sow bottom edge.  Sow it every three stitches and through two layers, then wrap a bit more and so on.  Every now and then flip your flower over and check top of flower to see if the RSC part is level or how you want it.  When you get to the end sew in your ends or leave a tail for attaching to a hat, bag, scarf and I am sure you could find a lot of other items to attach your flower

EASY Materials
4mm crochet hook
DK/8ply yarn, color of your choice
Scissors, Darning needle

A tape measure
Optional a Stitch Marker

US Terms
SC - Single Crochet
HDC - Half Double Crochet
BLO - Back Loop Only
Ch - Chain
FO - Fasten Off

We will be working this pattern from side to side. Top to bottom of leg in other words.

You need to measure from below your knee to your ankle.   You can have it as long as you like remembering it will scrunch down a bit and so you may want to add extra chains when you start.   You may if you wish add elastic at the top to keep them up.  It’s entirely up to you.

Pattern starts with 10 SC and ends with 10 SC.  HDC in the middle. 
I would highly recommend reading this pattern BEFORE you start

Make two the same

Row 1: Ch the amount of CH’s you need for the length you want your legwarmer

Row 2: SC in 2nd ch from the hook and the next 9 stitches
You can place an optional stitch marker after last SC. 
As you go on in rows you will notice that the hdc is higher than the single crochet and you may be able to see where to change from SC to HDC.

HDC across until you reach your last 10 stitches, mark last HDC if you need to, SC in the next 10 SC to the end. Ch1 turn.

Row 3: SC in to the next 9 stitches in BLO, HDC in BLO in to every HDC, SC in the last 10 SC into BLO, ch1 turn.

Row 4: Repeat row 3 until leg warmer is wide enough to fit around your leg.  FO leaving a 30 to 40 cms long tail of yarn for sowing up your edges.  

Line up your two SC edges together and whip stitch through the loops edges to join.  Finish.

PDF WRITTEN PATTERN LINK:
http://nannys-knit-n-sew.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=55&product_id=144


Materials used:   
2 strands of 8ply/Double Knit yarn for thickness and 4mm crochet hook
OR 1 stand of worsted weight yarn and a 5.00mm hook
 Tapestry needle

Abbreviations:     ch = chain;   hdc = half double crochet;   sc = single crochet

Notes:  1) You could use a sc instead of hdc for this pattern.  2) The project may curl up in the beginning, but should flatten out as more rows are added. 3) Working through the back loops will create a ribbed effect.


a)      Make a chain that will measure from the crown of your head down the side (to where you want the beanie to end).  Add about 2 extra inches to the chain to create the cuff.
b)      Row 1:  hdc in 2nd ch from hook.  Put a hdc in each remaining ch. Ch 2, turn.
c)      Row 2:  hdc into the back loop of the 2nd stitch. Repeat this in the back loop of each stitch across the row. The last hdc goes in the ch from the previous row.  Ch 2, turn.
d)      Repeat Row 2 until the piece is long enough to wrap around your head.  Fasten off leaving about a 12in tail.
e)      Fold the piece, lining up the first & last rows.  Using a tapestry needle & the 12in tail, sew through the back loops of the front piece & both loops of the back piece. Continue sewing across each stitch until the end of the row.  Weave in the ends.
f)       Fold up the cuff.
g)      Tie for top of beanie:  make a chain about 2ft long (about 60cm). Fasten off or leave it
until you’re sure of the length.  You could also make an icord – instructions below.
h)      Weave chain in/out of stitches all around the top of beanie using a crochet hook.
i)        Take 2 ends of tie & pull to gather top of beanie. Tie how you’d like & weave in the ends.
j)        Untie the top to slide down & wear as a neck warmer.



Icord instructions:
a)      Ch 3, go into 2nd ch from hook, pull up loop, go into 3rd ch, pull up loop.
b)      Remove 1st two loops from hook and hold them.
c)      Ch 1, put next loop you’re holding back on hook, ch 1, put last loop you’re holding back on hook, ch 1.  You should end up with 3 loops on your hook. 
d)      Repeat steps b & c until you reach the desired length.
e)      Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops to fasten off.  Weave in ends.
     
     Tip:  to tighten the icord, pull up on 2nd loop on hook and then pull 3rd loop as you work.
