headphones holder
Like so many of us, I use headphones on the regular basis. I plug them into my phone to listen to music as I work out, as I meditate, during my commute....you all know the drill. After I am done with my headphones I put them in my purse as we all do, just to find later on that they are completely entangled and it will take me forever to put them back to their original form. I really dislike that! I have wanted to resolve this problem, and crocheting some sort of a headphones holder proved to be the perfect thing to do. So, here it is..... the pattern.....
Materials:
4.00 mm crochet hook
yarn of your choice
a fancy button
scissors, needle
Steps and Procedures:
1. ch 6
2. make 1 SC in the 2nd chain from the hook and down the chain line (5 SC in total), ch 1 and turn
3. make 1 SC in each stitch of this row, ch 1 and turn (5 SC)
4-14. continue making 1 SC in each stitch, ch 1 and turn (5 SC)
15. ch 5, turn and slip stitch to the last stitch of the row of the shorter end
16. ch 1 and continue to make 1 SC in each stitch around, making sure you put 3 SC in each corner
17. when you get to the other side of the ch 5, make 7 SC inside the ch-5 space, and sl st to the first SC made.
- fasten off, sew in the tails, and sew on the fancy button
I have made 2 headphones holders (the smaller one had 11 rows). I have found that the smaller/shorter one was better and it was easier to tie the headphones on it, as it held them tighter together.

fish in a jar
www.suviscrochet.com/Patterns/Sea-Life-Blue-ChromisMy sister has 2 kids - 2 rowdy, wild, adorable toddlers. The younger one just had her 2nd birthday. My sister told me, or should I say shouted - NO LIVE PETS ALLOWED!
So, I decided to make her kiddles a pet in a jar - you don't have to walk it, feed it, cuddle with it, clean it! You just have to gaze adoringly at it:)
I found this cute little idea here: edenreborn.com/crochet/no-fuss-fish-free-crochet-pattern/
I changed the fish and the weed patterns and here is my version:
Materials for the weed/plant:
- 2.50 mm crochet hook
- green yarn
- glittery glue (mod podge, Elmer's Glue...)
Steps and Procedures:
- make a Magic Ring, 6 sc in the circle, sl st in the 1st SC on the round to close the circle
- Chain 7, sl stitch in 2nd and 3rd chain from hook, sc in next four chains, sl st to the center of the MR
- Chain 12, slip stitch in 2nd, 3rd and 4th chains from hook, sc in next 8 chains, sl st to the center of the MR
- Chain 9 , slip stitch in 2nd and 3rd chains from hook, sc in next 6 chains, sl st to the center of the MR
- Fasten off and sew the ends
The following are the patterns for the two fish I made:
1. purple (with bluish enges): www.suviscrochet.com/Patterns/Sea-Life-Blue-Chromis
2. pink (with black edges): www.suviscrochet.com/Patterns/Sea-Life-Yellow-Tang
- I also crocheted the cover for the lids and here is the pattern:
I used 3.00 mm crochet hook and a blue worsted weight yarn, and a marker to mark the beginning stitch
- Make a Magic Ring and 6 SC inside the ring
- make 6 increases (12 SC)
- 1 SC + increase around (18 SC)
- 2 SC + increase around (24 SC)
- 3 SC + increase around (30 SC)
- 4 SC + increase around (36 SC)
- 5 SC + increase around (42 SC)
- 6 SC + increase around (48 SC)
- 7 SC + increase around (54 SC)
- make 1 SC in each stitch around only in Back Loop (54 SC)
- make 1 SC in each stitch around (54 SC)
- make 1 SC in each stitch around (54 SC)
- tie off and weave in the ends
Additional notes:
- use the glue gun to glue the pebbles to the bottom on the glass jar
- glue the plant to the pebble and glue it to the bottom
- use the silk yarn and attach one end to the fish, and glue the other to the bottom of the jar lid
- glue the crocheted jar lid cover to the lid
- cover the plant with some glittery glue and let it dry over night for a sparkling effect
- glue the googly eyes on the fish face
So, there you have it. Now, you can gaze adoringly at your pet fish and it won't even try to swim away ........

Crochet Bikini Top
I never thought I would crochet a bikini top, but I ended up doing it:) This top was made for one of my girlfriends upon request. It was very simple to make and I followed a youtube video as a tutorial.
I used crochet hook 3.00 mm and two different colored yarns. This tutorial fits the cup size 5"x5" inch. (Size S, Cup A)
Here is the pattern:
- Begin with a slip knot and ch 15.
- R1 : Dc in 4th ch from hook, dc across, 7 dc in the last ch, continue to dc on the other side across. Turn.
- R2: Ch 3, dc in each of the nxt 12 sts,* 2 dc in nxt st, 3dc in nxt st, 2dc in nxt st*, dc in each of the nxt 13 sts. Turn.
- R3: Ch 3, dc in each if the nxt 14 sts, repeat *to *, dc in each of the nxt 15 sts.
- R4-7: Repeat previous steps.
- Ch 1, fasten off and make another cup. Do not cut off yarn for the second cup, continue at the bottom of the cup.
- Ch 1, make 2 sc in each of the dc space across, ch 5, connect with 2 sc in the other cup dc space, 2 sc in each of the dc space across, 3 sc in the last dc space.
- Continue to make the string. Ch 100, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc across, sl st in dc space.
- Now we are going to make the edging. Ch 3, dc in the same dc space, *skip nxt st, sc in nxt st, ch 2, dc in same st*, repeat *to* 10 times until you reach the 3 dc in the same st, sc in nxt st.
- Continue to make the string. Ch 100, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc across, sl st in dc space. Continue with the edging. Sl st in nxt st, sc in nxt st, ch 2, dc in same st, repeat *to* 11 times, hdc in each of the nxt 5 sts across, sl st in dc space, ch 3, dc in the same dc space, repeat the steps like the previous cup to make the edging and string.
- Finally, sl st in the first sc, ch 1, fasten off. Weave in ends. And we’re done.

I wanted to crochet some items to add to my crochet craft fair. I thought about making a 3D butterfly that I could make into a keychain.
I have used this simple tutorial from Bella Coco:

I am planning to make many more, and this was an awesome opportunity for me to show my work....
I have learned a great deal from this experiance and my crocheted items will be slightly differently displayed next time.....

Crochet Bookmark
I am a teacher.... a music teacher in a fabulous school.... Sometimes I teach and hold After school activities that do not necessarily involve me teaching the subject I teach every day. So, to start the first set of ASA sessions for this school year I chose to do Crocheting. I have many students who signed up and I am psyched and excited! I chose to do simple crocheting project, and this crocheted Bookmark is the first one...
I found this on this website - thank you Sewrella for the free pattern. She has great pictures and details on how to make a tassel, it is worth checking out:)
www.sewrella.com/2016/08/finger-tassel-tutorial-monogram.html
I rewrote and changed the pattern a bit so here it is in whole:
Materials:
yarn in any colors - I used 2 colors
-Size 4.00 mm crochet hook
-Tapestry needle
- In color 1: Chain 7, Sc in second st and down the chain line, Ch 1, turn (you chould have 6 stitches)
- Rows 2-23: Sc across, Ch 1, turn
- Row 24: Sc dec, Sc, Sc, Sc dec, Ch 1, turn
- Row 25: Sc dec, Ch 2 (to make a space to tie the tassle), Sc dec, Ch 1
- Row 26: Sc around perimeter of bookmark, (making sure you make 2sc in each corner (4 corners) around the bookmark), sl st to join
- Row 27: Join color 2, Ch 1, Sc around perimeter, sl st to join, finish off, weave all ends
- Embroider letter monogram using a surface slip stitch.
- Make a finger tassel:
1. Hold three fingers of your hand together in a straight position.
2. Wrap yarn around your fingers between the middle knuckle and the knuckle by your fingernail. Wrap until the yarn creates a thick cushion.
3. Cut the yarn from the skein.
4. Cut 2 small pieces of yarn (about 6 in. each).
5. Thread one piece of yarn between your fingers & through the wrapped yarn.
6. Slide your fingers out and tie the threaded yarn in a tight knot.
7. Cut the yarn along the bottom, opposite your knot.
8. Take your second 6 in. piece of yarn and tie it around the top of your tassel, about a centimeter from the top knot.
9. Tie a tight knot and trim the ends.
10. Trim the end of your tassel to be even.
11. Attach to your bookmark - thread your top strings through the Ch 2 space on Row 25. Tie a tight knot and trim the ends.
This is a quick and easy project. It took me more time to wave in the end then to crochet the whole bookmark:) And this is how it turned out....

Appliques are great to add and embellish all crocheted items. I found this great fox applique, and have changed it a bit to fit my needs.... I changed the color; I omitted some rows, and it was a perfect wolf face applique that could be made in 10-15 min and be sewed in on anything you wanted.....This is the original pattern:
www.repeatcrafterme.com/2014/10/f-is-for-fox-crochet-fox-applique.html
I kind of like the wolf's face to be leaner and longer, so I changed the pattern a bit:
Starting with grey…
Chain 2, 2 SC in second chain from hook and in last chain (2 SC)
Row 2-5: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn (2 SC)
Row 6: 2 SC in first stitch, 2 SC in second stitch, chain 1 turn (4 SC)
Row 7: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2, 2 SC in last stitch, chain 1, turn (6 SC)
Row 8: SC in each stitch across (6 SC)
Do not turn, continue to SC around edges. When you get back to the top right corner, chain 4, SC in 2nd chain from hook, HDC in next, DC in last. Skip 2 stitches and join to next stitch with a slip stitch. Slip stitch in the next 3, repeat from * to make the second ear. Fasten off leaving long tail.
Attach white yarn right under ear. Chain 3, TC, DC, DC, HDC, HDC, SC, slip stitch to join. Do the same on other side of face but working the stitches in backwards order (attach yarn, SC, HDC, HDC, DC, DC, TC + chain 3 and join). Fasten off and weave in ends.
I also used 2,50 mm crochet hook for a small wolf and a 4,00 mm hook for a bigger wolf face applique.
This is how mine turned out... I used it to embellish this badge I made....

The School Spirit Badges were my next project..... Again, blue and yellow, but I added a wolf face applique and a paw applique....
The Badge was made like this:
using 4,00 mm crochet hook
(Reminder: the ch 2 at the beginning of each round DOES NOT count as a stitch)
-magic circle, ch 2, 12 DC inside the Magic circle (12 DC)
- ch 2, 2 DC in each stitch around (24 DC)
- ch 2, DC in stitch no 1, 2 DC in stitch no 2 - repeat around (36 DC)
I made 2 sides and slipped stitch them together to make it a bit thicker.
Paw Print applique:
I used 2,50 mm hook
paw:
-magic circle, ch 1, 15 SC inside the magic circle
-ch 2, 1 DC - 2 DC - 1 DC - 1 SC - 2 SC - 1 SC - 3 DC - 1 SC - 2 SC - 1 SC - 1 DC - 2 DC - 1 DC - ch 2, slip stitch
fingers:
- magic circle, ch 1, 2 SC, 2 DC, 2 SC inside the magic circle - make 4
I sewed on the applique to the badge, sewed on the safety pin and I was good to go:) And this is how my badges turned out...
