A christmas crib


I am so proud of it... I made it myself, without any pattern... I tried to record all the steps I followed so that I could write the pattern for you, but I haven't had any time. I will try to attatch it to this post as soon as I can.




I hope you also like it!!!!!

A tiny shop

Some weeks ago a friend of mine discovered all the things I was crocheting and she was amazed. She insisted I had to sell them and, as I didn't do anything in that direction, she managed herself to set up a tiny shop for me.
She placed it where she works, an art school for children and adults in Sarrià, Barcelona, called Traç. There, everyone helped a lot to make it look so beautiful and it was ready in a few hours!


The truth is that it looks sooooo nice!!!! I am so happy to have friends like them!


christmas decorations

It's Christmas time!!!!!!!

I've been doing some Christmas decorations for the tree:

I made these crochet snowflakes following a pattern by Attic 24.



As you can see in the pattern above, the stars are made following the same pattern but by only working the first two rounds.
 





I joined them with a chain and ta-dah!!!!!!!!!!!




 And finally...

 The hearts were also made following a pattern by Attic 24.

Baby shoes


I had wanted to make them for such a long time, but I couldn't find any pattern that suited my tastes, so finally I managed to create one myself. And here you are!












  

 


I tried to write down the steps I followed, but I don't know if they are clear enough... Anyway, if you feel like trying, ask me and I will post the pattern for you.

Crochet baby hat


I have been trying to do this crochet baby hat for a long time... I had many problems with sizes, stitches, shapes... But I kept trying and finally got to this!!!!!!!



 Here's my pattern: (I think it's very easy to follow, though I spent so many days to create it!!!)
  • chain 3 and join to form a ring
  • chain 2, 6 half double crochets (htr/hdc) in ring, place marker
  • 2 htr in each stitch until you get to the marker (you should have 12 stitches now), place marker
  • 1 htc in the first stitch, 2 htc in the next, 1 htc in the next, 2 htc in the next... all around, place marker
  • 1 htc in the first stitch, 1, htc in the next stitch, 2 htc in the next, 1 htc, 1htc, 2 htc... all around, place marker
  • 1 htc, 1htc, 1htc, 2htc... all around, place marker
  • go on like this until you reach the size you want
  • when you get to the size you need (it can even be an adult size) you crochet 1htc in each stitch all around
  • you have to do as many rounds like this as you need, depending on the length of the hat (in my baby hat I made about 4 or 5). During the last 2 or three rounds, you should do the following to adjust the size of the base: once you get to the marker, htc 2 sts tog and then, at the half of the round, do it again. Repeat in the last 2 or three rounds.
  • To finish; dc, sl st, sl st and hide the bow
 Happy hooking!!!!!!!
