pinwheel pouf for 18" dolls - new crochet pattern by tara schreyer.

I've been hard at work over the last many months, developing a new line of clothing and accessories for dolls. Here is my first design, for you and your little ones to enjoy!  More designs to follow in the next few days, so stay tuned!

Pinwheel Pouf for 18" Dolls

Poufs are everywhere in home decor! Every little girl needs one! They can be used as a seat, a foot stool or a floor pillow, whatever the occasion.

This pouf is crocheted in the round using only post stitches giving it beautiful texture and style. You have the option of two different designs - solid or striped, as well as two options for finishing.
 
The finished size of the pouf is approximately a 37" circumference and 12" diameter and is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl® or Maplelea®.

new crochet pattern - making waves bucket bag by kim miller.

Making Waves Bucket Bag by Kim Miller

Skill Level: Intermediate

How much fun would it be to crochet this fashionable, striped bucket bag? 

This versatile bag can be used as:

• a purse

• a craft/project bag

• a bag to take on your day at the beach

• a catch-all in your office space

• just about anything...

This crochet pattern is complete with instructions for the striped bag, the rope handle, and anchor. Plus, I've included a chart for the anchor, and I show you an easy way to add stripes without having to fasten off at the end of each round...leaving you with a ton of yarn ends to work in.

This detailed crochet pattern calls for 2 balls of Bernat® Handicrafter® 100% Cotton [50 g (1.75 oz)/73 meters (80 yds) per ball] in Classic Navy, 3½ balls of Bernat® Handicrafter® in Off White, and Scraps of Bernat® Handicrafter® in Red. You will also need a 4.00 mm (G) crochet hook (or size needed to obtain gauge), four 7/16” [11 mm (inner diameter)] eyelets, grommet tool and a yarn needle. This crochet pattern is complete with colour illustrations and directions on attaching the eyelets. 

The finished bag measures 22.9 cm (9”) high, and 22.9 cm (9”) in diameter. 

Please note that lining instructions are not included with the pattern, but you do choose to go with lining the basic shaping should make it both fun and easy.

A month or so ago, when I started working in the round with cotton stripes, I couldn't decide if I wanted to create a pattern for storage bins....or a bucket bag....so I created both :)

I was hoping to release the pattern for the Making Waves Bucket Bag this week, but time got away on me, so I should have the pattern up by early next week. In the meantime have a great weekend!!!

new crochet pattern - numbered storage bins by kim miller.

Numbered Storage Bins by Kim Miller

Numbered Storage Bins by Kim Miller

Skill Level: Easy/Intermediate

I love containers, and I never seem to have enough. Not only do containers store tons of stuff, but they also add charm to any decor.

Now you can crochet your own numbered containers. Classic stripes add a splash of colour, and 3 different sizes means that you can create nesting bins, or switch it up and make them all the same size. Plus, I show you an easy way to switch the colours without having to fasten off, and having a ton of yarn ends to work in.

This well written crochet pattern includes instructions for 3 different sized bins, and for the numbers 1 through to 3. This pattern is also complete with illustrations to help you to successfully complete you project.

The pattern calls for Bernat® Handicrafter® 100% Cotton 50 g (1.75 oz)/73 meters (80 yds) per ball which is a worsted weight 4, a 4.00 mm (G) crochet hook, and a yarn needle. This crochet pattern uses the following stitches: slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, sc2tog and sc4tog.

Finished Measurements: 

Small Bin = Diameter 21.6 cm (8½”) and 14 cm (5½”) high. 

Medium Bin = Diameter 25.4 cm (10”) and 14 cm (5½”) high. 

Large Bin = Diameter 29.2 cm (11½”) and 14 cm (5½”) high. 

Please note that the finished sizes are approximate and will be affected by the gauge and the brand of yarn.

I'm an organizing junkie, and it seems that I never have enough storage bins...especially when it comes to yarn and crafts. I haven't quite decided what space I will be sprucing up with these classic, striped bins, but I'm super excited to share them with you!

I will let you know the minute that the crochet pattern is up!
