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.

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.

VALENTINE'S HEARTS HEADBAND

free crochet patterns, how to crochet, headbands, headwear, hearts, tapestry crochet,



Yes, it's that time of year again, and Valentine's Day is just around the corner! I am looking forward to a day of celebrating romance, being showered with roses and chocolates and a lovely outing with my darling of course.



The other day while thinking about Valentine's Day and what to do and where to go, I thought it is about time I designed a new crochet pattern for Valentine's. Something relatively easy and using a fun technique, like tapestry crochet.

If you haven't tried it yet, then let's give it a go, let's play and have some fun with tapestry crochet.

You will need to be comfortable with carrying one colour as you crochet with the other, this way you can change colours in the row easily. It is a lovely way to create colourful designs and patterns and you can use yarns or threads, depending on the item being made.

Valentine's Hearts Headband

Here is my unconventional tapestry hearts headband, it's unconventional because I intentionally designed the heart to be different from the norm, and a bit more abstract. I didn't even use graph paper, I just crocheted and designed it along the way, and here is the result. After crocheting the headband I decided to include a tapestry graph, which will help you follow the pattern. 

Yarn

The hearts headband is crochet using chunky yarn, I am using leftovers from my yarn stash, Wendy Mode Chunky, a soft blend of 50% Merino Wool 50% Acrylic, and yes this yarn is machine washable.

You can substitute the yarn, just remember to check the YARNSUB website, to get the best match.

PATTERN DETAILS:

Difficulty: Intermediate
Size: One (1) size - Adult Medium
Measurements: approx 20.5in (52cm) will fit 22in(56cm) head
Yarn: Wendy Mode Chunky
Yardage: approx. 57m (62yd); CC 25m (27yd); MC 32m (35yd)
Tension: 13sts to 4in; 7 rows to 2in
Notions: 5.5mm hook, Yarn needle



Pattern Notes: Headband is worked bottom up in the round. This pattern uses single crochet stitches only. You need to know how to carry yarn while crocheting over it. The headband is worked in tapestry crochet in joined rounds with right side facing throughout. Two colours are held together in all rounds except the first and last edging rounds. To change colour, work the last st to last yarn over. Yarn over with new colour and draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch. Proceed with new colour, working over old colour. Do not cut old yarn until instructed. Photographs accompany the written instructions of this pattern.

TO MAKE SMALLER AND LARGER SIZES

This headband pattern is crochet in multiples of 11sts. You can increase or decrease the size by 11sts to get the total stitch count which will match the head circumference. You can also increase or decrease the size by 5-6sts by increasing the space where the hearts are closest, so instead of 1st between the hearts, make it 2sts. This will mean the pattern will be using multiples of 12sts.

Child/Teen - 20in (51cm) Ch55. Multiples of 11sts. Follow chart.
