My ARROW HEADS Saga

arrow heads, arrow stitch pattern, hats, mittens, scarf, headband, how to crochet, crochet ebook,

My lengthy hiatus!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Valentine's Day, to you all. I hope you all had an awesome time with family and friends celebrating these holidays.


It is now March and I apologize for a long three (3) months since my last blogpost ARROW HEADS CROCHET COLLECTION in November.


Between November and now there has been quite a bit going on in my personal life and I have not been able to crochet or knit since September 2018 (if you want to know more, click HERE, then scroll down to More Recently). 

However, I am aimimg to catch up, by working on writing up some of my patterns which I designed and crocheted/knitted over a year ago and at the time I was unable to write up and share with you.

NEW CROCHET PATTERNS

I have finally added the last two (2) crochet patterns to my Arrow Heads Crochet Collection EBook, 1. Double Arrow Scarf and 2. Multi-Arrow Hat. 




1. Double Arrow Scarf

Double Arrow Scarf is an easy, enjoyable crochet experience working back and forth, you should be able to make a quick scarf in no time and dare I say from one (1) ball of yarn (of course it depends what you use, but it can be done).

PATTERN DETAILS:


DIFFICULTY: Easy
SIZES: One (1) size
MEASUREMENTS: Length 68in (173cm); Width 5.5in (14cm)
YARN USED: Lincraft Winter Warmth ● 100% Acrylic Mohair ● 50g ● 306yd (280m)
YARDAGE: Approx. 306yd (280m)
SUBSTITUTE YARN: Any Lace Weight mohair yarn.
TENSION: Approx. 18sts x 16 rows to 4in (10cm) in arrow stitch. Scarf is worked with larger hook and looser tension than recommended on label.
NOTIONS: 5.5mm hook, Yarn needle
PATTERN NOTES: Scarf is worked flat. Photographs accompany the written instructions at the end of the pattern.



2. Multi-Arrow Hat


To finish off the collection I have included the Multi-Arrow Hat which uses the arrow pattern all the way around the body of the hat. If you use a yarn which changes colour gradually for the Arrow round you will get this cute multi-coloured hat, I chose a darker shade of plain coloured yarn to accentuate the awesome colours in the variegated yarn, I think this has to be my favourite!

PATTERN DETAILS:

DIFFICULTY: Easy Intermediate
SIZES: One (1) size - Hints on size adjustment at end of pattern
MEASUREMENTS: Circumference 20in (51cm) Length 7.5in (19cm)
YARN USED:
Hayfield Bonus Breeze DK ● 100% Acrylic ● 100g ● 306yds (280m) ● MC Embers (477)
Hayfield Bonus DK ● 100% Acrylic ● 100g ● 306yds (280m) ● CC Purple (840) ● 1 ball of each
SUBSTITUTE YARNS: Any similar DK yarn, one ball plain bold colour, one ball variegated colour. Always check with YARNSUB website to get the best match.
YARDAGE: Approx.: 41g = 125yd (114m);
TENSION: 22sts x 20 rows to 4in (10cm) in sc stitch
NOTIONS: 4mm hook, Yarn needle

PATTERN NOTES: Hat is worked top down in the round. Instructions are for a two (2) colour hat. Each round is completed before changing colour. Photographs accompany the written instructions at the end of this pattern.

ARROW HEADS Crochet Collection

beanies, crochet patterns, hats, headbands, how to crochet, mittens, scarves, arrows, arrow heads,



ARROW HEADS is a His and Hers Crochet Collection which includes hats, mittens, scarf and headband. Designed for the winter season this collection can be worn in spring and autumn by changing your yarn choice. You can have a bit of fun by playing around with colours too!



It has been one (1) year since I first released the Arrow Heads Hat and Headband patterns. The original plan was to release a few crochet patterns using the Arrow Stitch pattern in a small collection of hats, mittens, headband and scarf.



beanies, crochet patterns, hats, headbands, how to crochet, mittens, scarves, arrows, arrow heads,

Somehow even though the crocheting of such items was carried out the actual pattern writing was on the backburner. So here I am today about to remedy the situation with the following two (2) patterns ARROW MITTENS and DOUBLE ARROW HAT. 

As soon as I have completed adding the remainder of the Arrow Heads patterns to the ARROW HEADS COLLECTION I will be releasing the complete EBook in 2019.  Make sure you keep checking back for the announcement of the release date.

Arrow Heads Crochet Collection

The Arrow Heads Collection so far includes crochet patterns for the Arrow Hat and the Arrow Headband, both patterns utilise the single Arrow pattern. 

Next Instalment - Double Arrow Hat

Once you get the hang of the simple, Arrow pattern you can move on to the Double Arrow Hat.

The Double Arrow Hat is the perfect FAMILY autumn/winter beanie.  The pattern includes four (4) sizes so the whole family can share in the Arrow Hat wearing experience. An easy Aran yarn hat for warmth with an insertion of a double Arrow stitch. Make a hat with a different combination of colours for each family member.

PATTERN DETAILS:

DIFFICULTY: Easy-Intermediate
SIZES: Four (4) sizes - A = Small; B = Medium; C= Adult Large; D = Adult XLarge

XMAS Mittens in Santa's colours
keep your hands warm and your fingertips free
these mittens were made to match the XMAS Hat

Yes, I know it is already one week into January 2018, Christmas and New Year have come and gone, and I have only just managed to catch up with myself after the holiday season. What about you?

I hope all of you have had a wonderful 2017 year with loads of crocheting under your belt. Hopefully this New Year 2018 you are ready to explore and try new crochet projects, new crochet skills and techniques. Also, may you manage to finish some of those projects which you started last year. 

I would love to hear about your crochet plans for this year, you can always share in the comments below or on my Crocknit Facebook page.


XMAS MITTENS CROCHET PATTERN


I have finally managed to complete the instructions for these mittens which I made in December to match the Xmas Hats my darling and I wore at Christmastime.

Xmas Mittens pattern is simply a striped crochet mitten and all you need to know is how to crochet in the round, how to single crochet, how to crochet in front and back loop, and how to change colour every round.

Best of all, you can make these mittens in any colour, they are not just for Christmas, same goes for the Xmas Hat. Choose whatever colour you like, it's always your choice. 

These crochet fingerless mittens are cosy and warm and there are still plenty of cold wintry days left for wearing these lovely Aran mittens this winter.

Suggested Yarn

I used the same Aran yarn for these mittens as for the Xmas Hat, Hayfield Bonus Aran with Wool. The Aran colours are Deep Red 830 and Ivory Aran 962.

You can substitute the yarn if you wish, just remember to check the YarnSub website, to get the best match.

HAPPY CROCHET and a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018

free crochet patterns, free knit patterns, how to knit, how to crochet, hats, beanies, scarves, mittens, blankets, mandalas,

“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”

(Poem: William Arthur Ward)

This poem says it all for me! These words are perfect for my New Year's resolution! Simple and to the point, to live my life to the fullest and to the best of my ability. To let go of fear and to enjoy every moment of every day, to free myself from worry and to release the need to be serious about trivial things, and most of all to allow love and laughter to surround me always!

What are your New Year Resolutions? Do you have any? Or don't you bother making any?

Did you know that about 4000 years ago, the ancient Babylonians were the first people to make New Year's resolutions? Each year in mid-March (the beginning of their year) when the crops were planted, celebrations were held in honour of the New Year!

If you do make a New Year resolution for yourself, and you wish to share, please do so in the comments at end of blog OR on my Facebook page here.

In the meantime, I wish you all a Happy New Year and may you always have lots of sunshine, happiness, health and prosperity! May you always be happy!

May you ALL have wonderful 2018 year, crocheting and knitting many projects and conquering new techniques and stitches.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported my creative crochet and knit works during 2017.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for buying my patterns and for your lovely comments. 

As soon as the holiday period is over I will be back in the New Year with new designs I managed to crochet and knit during December.

May the New Year 2018 bring you
Love, peace and happiness,
Now and Forever!

Ciao Ciao!
