Crochet Crown

Last week Lara had a Kings and Queen themed mufti day at school. Thinking it would be nice to be different I crocheted Lara a crown. I started off following a pattern to begin with but then winged it and finished it my own way.
I thought she looked awesome!

Rainbow Spiderweb Blanket

Having been inspired by Tori's Spiderman blanket, I decided to have a go at trying the pattern out for myself. It's comes together very quickly, and is a much easier pattern for a beginner to follow than it looks like!

And so, my boys' Rainbow Spiderweb Blankets!

Crocheted using Deramores Stylecraft Special DK, which is a lovely soft acrylic - the colours (red to purple) are Matador, Jaffa, Sunshine, Green, Turquise, Wisteria.  Oh, and white!

Baby Afghan

The pattern for this afghan is called Stashaholic's Brain Dead Afghan but I don't really want to call a gift for a baby that, even if the Zombie loving part of me kinda likes it.  What the name means is that it is so repetitive and easy that you will mow through rows and rows of it and then all of a sudden come to  a point where you think it's long enough and that's it.

I used a 4.5mm hook and alternated between 5 rows of maroon and three rows of grey (it's for a baby girl and I wanted the "girly" colour to dominate a bit more).  I used 200g of the maroon and not quite 100g of the grey. I should also mention that the maroon was 100% wool and the grey is 100% acrylic but it feels alright, looks alright and the telling will be in the wash and wear of it.

Simple Crochet Beanie

My very first ever completed crochet project!! :D

A great project for a beginner crocheter like me - it only uses chain and double-crochet (I cheated a bit, and just did a chain of 4 and joined it into a circle to start off with - the magic loop confused me!) and then one round of single-crochet to finish off.

Instructions can be found here on Lina's Land (I followed a link from Ravelry to that) - haven't tried the flowers, but they look quite cute!

Spiderman Blanket

Loved this pattern.  Easy to follow and crocheted up really quickly.  You can find the pattern here.

I used 3 x 100g red and 2 x 100g blue Moda Vera.  Thinking of doing the black and white (Venom) style one at a later date.
