Knot bracelet

The "Candy Stripe" is the easiest friendship bracelet pattern for a beginner. http://www.how-to-make-jewelry.com/image-files/how-to-make-friendship-bracelets4.jpg
Here's how to make it:

Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3

Step 1:

Cut 3 strands of each of your 3 colors of floss to about 3 feet each.  (I know, a lot of 3's.)

Step 2:

Gripping all strands together, tie an overhand knot, leaving a tail of about 3 inches

Step 3:

Attach your floss to something - you can use masking tape to tape it to a table, clip it to a clipboard, or (my personal favorite) use a safety pin to attach it to your pant leg.  (This last way makes it really portable.  I like to make bracelet on my bus ride to school.)

Step 4:

Spread out your floss strands (see fig. 1).

Step 5 (a.k.a. Row 1):

Using your left-most strand of floss, bring it over strand 2, behind strand 2, and back in front of strand 1.  This is called a half hitch knot.
It's a lot easier to show you this than to describe it: see fig. 2.
Make sure you are holding strand 2 taut when you make the knot, and pull strand 1 up and slightly to the right, gently but firmly to tighten the knot.
To continue down the row, use the same strand you knotted over strand 2, and use it to form the same knot on strand 3.  Continue using strand 1 to make a knot on strand 4, then 5, etc., until you have made a knot on each strand all the way across.
If you completed the row correctly, the strand that was the left-most strand at the beginning of Step 5 is now the right-most strand.
Sidebar: Learning how to make friendship bracelets that look good takes a little practice.  Patience and practice young apprentice!  Pay attention to what you're doing and try to keep an even tension for each knot.  Not too tight and not too slack - too tight and it'll start to curl and look weird.  Too slack and it'll look weird too.

Step 6 (a.k.a. Row 2):

Do it again, starting with your leftmost strand (see fig. 3).

Step 7 (a.k.a. Row 3):

A repeat of step 6!

Step 8

Wash, rinse and repeat - I'm sure you get the picture.  Keep starting with your left-most strand, and knot all the way across.  (For you literalists - don't actually wash anything.  I just mean that you do it again and again and again...)
Fig. 4 is an illustration of what your friendship band will start to look like as you start building up your rows.

Step 9:

When your friendship bracelet is the right length, make another overhand knot.  To finish it off, you can braid the ends, or string beads onto them.

If that tutorial was confusing, here's a video of the bracelet pattern too.

Variations:

The example images for these friendship bracelet instructions use 3 colors, but you can change that up.
  • 2 color band - try using 5 strands each of 2 colors
  • 4 color band - try using 2 strands each of 4 colors
  • 3 color band with thinner stripes - try using the same number of strands but alternate in a 1:1:1 pattern instead of a 3:3:3

Possible color schemes

(just a few of an endless number of combinations)
Note: Numbers Denote Number of Strands
  • A 3:3:3 pattern of your friends favorite colors
  • Spring has sprung: 3 light green, 3 pale yellow, 3 lime green

  • Easter: 3 pale yellow, 3 pale pink, 3 pale green
  • Juicy Berries: 3 Dark blue, 3 dark berry red, 3 bright red
  • Winter Frost: 3 White, 3 pale grey, 3 pale blue

Lace shawl: video tutorial

Mẫu móc khăn chéo đơn giản
There has been some discussion recently on the crochet thread of the Knittinghelp.com forum regarding the crocheted shawl worn by Caroline Ingalls in The Little House on the Prairie shows. Some links were provided to patterns resembling that shawl. Two of the patterns looked good, but the other links were broken. The information given about the shawl was that it was crocheted, and most likely a half granny square type of design.

Many years ago, I had made quite a large number of shawls using just such a design, one for my grandmother in cream and lavender, and one for each of the nuns in the convent where my oldest sister is. That was a lot of black crocheting! So I felt confident that I could replicate this half granny shawl design to share with you here at Hooked On Needles.


After a few false starts, this is what I came up with...

This is just a sample that I crocheted while working out the pattern. Of course to make this into a shawl, you would have to continue crocheting until the triangle is as big as you want your shawl to be.




Here's a close-up of the beginning point of the sample where the original chain-4 was made. You can see where the 3-dc groups, also called shells, turn to the left and to the right. This point where they change direction is the tip of the triangle where two shells are worked with ch-2 in between. On a full granny square, this would be one of the 4 corners.


And here's the other end of the center, which is the point. Once you have made your triangle as big as you want it, this would be the outer edge where you could add a decorative border, such as a scallop or fringe, or you could just leave it plain.

Here is a short video showing how I made this half-granny triangle. I have included the written instructions below as well.


 


Half Granny Triangle Shawl

Yarn of your choice
crochet hook of the appropriate size for yarn chosen

NOTE:
shell = 3 double crochet
ch = chain
dc = double crochet
sp = space

ch 4 and join with sl st to first chain to form ring.

ch 4 (used as 1 dc and 1 ch here and throughout), shell in ring, ch 2, shell in ring, ch 1, 1 dc in ring. ch 4, turn.

shell in ch 1 sp, ch 1, (shell, ch 2, shell) in ch 2 sp (this is the center point), ch 1, (shell, ch 1, 1 dc) in ch 1 sp. ch 4, turn.

* (shell, ch 1) in each ch 1 sp to center point, (shell, ch 2, shell) in ch 2 sp of center point, (ch 1, shell) in each ch 1 sp to end. ch 1. In last ch 1 sp, work shell, ch 1, 1 dc. ch 4, turn. *

Repeat from * to * until shawl is the size you want it.
