Pattern was edited and updated December 21 to fix some errors in it
Use desired yarn or thread and hook to match yarn size. I would suggest lace weights or thread and yarns of that sort to make it airy.
Of course you can do yours in what ever color you like a long color shaded one would be lovely.I did mine in one color just to help you see stitches in the photos better. But I did the tutorial in different colors for each round so you could see the rounds better.
special stitches
- V stitch : (dc, ch 2, dc) in the same stitch or space
- sm shell: 3 treble crochet, ch 2, 3 treble crochet all in the same space when worked over previous small shell it is worked over the chain 2 space
- lg shell: 8 treble crochet all in the same space
- picot: ch 3 and sc into 1st chain
- go around front of post and go around back of post
Before starting work: There are times when you will be going around the post of a treble crochet to make your stitch. Doesn’t matter if you are working on the right side front or wrong side/back side of the work these stitches always go around from the back side. Which means sometimes you go around the front of a post and sometimes the back side of a post. Other wise your fans will face both front and back mine are always facing front you can do that (make them face both ways I might make a sample that way and add to this) but I do not think it would be as pretty when done. Mark your front/right side with the first or third row so you are aware of which side is front. After a while you will not need the marker but at first it is helpful.
Foundation Chain ch 13 turn work
- (front/right side)dc in 5th chain from hook (V stitch made), chain 4 skip 3 chains on foundation chain, small shell( this is your center back) in next chain,chain 4, V stitch in last chain of foundation chain. turn work (should have 2 V stitches and 1 small shell)
- (wrong/back side)slip stitch into V stitch, chain 4 counts as first treble of Lg shell finish large shell in this V stitch, chain 4, work sm shell over sm shell, chain 4, work lg shell in last V stitch, turn work (should have 2 lg shells, and 1 small shell)
- (front/right side) chain 7, sc in 3rd chain from hook (counts as first treble and first picot, treble,picot in every treble of large shell (should have 8 trebles and 8 picots) chain 4, sm shell over sm shell, chain 4, Treble picot across all 8 stitches of lg shell, turn work ( should have 16 picots and small shell)
- (wrong/back side)slip stitch around first treble crochet post, chain 5, dc around same treble post ( first V stitch made), chain 4, sc around 3rd treble post this is around the front of the post (even thought these are going around the front of the post they are always on the back side or wrong side of the entire piece), *chain 3, sc around next treble post* 3 times,chain 4, V stitch over chain 4 space before sm shell on previous round, chain 4, sm shell over shell, chain 4, V stitch over chain 4 space after sm shell on previous round,chain 4, sc around 3rd treble post, *chain 3, sc around next treble post* 3 times,chain 4, V stitch around last treble post of previous round, turn work (should have 4 V stitches and 1 small shell)
- (front/right side) slip stitch into V stitch, chain 4 (counts as first treble of Lg shell) finish large shell in this V stitch, *chain 4, sc in ch 3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop)2 times chain 4, work lg shell next V stitch,* chain 4, sm shell over shell, chain 4, lg shell over V stitch space, chain 4,sc in ch 3 loop, (ch 3, sc in next loop)2 times chain 4, work lg shell over V stitch, repeat between stars , turn work (should have 4 lg shells, and 1 small shell)
- (back side) chain 7, sc in 3rd chain from hook (counts as first treble and first picot), treble,picot in every treble of large shell (should have 8 trebles and 8 picots) chain 4, sc in chain 3 space, ch 3, sc in next ch 3 space, chain 4,Treble picot across all 8 stitches of lg shell,chain 4, sm shell over sm shell, chain 4, Treble picot across all 8 stitches of lg shell, chain 4, sc in chain 3 space, ch 3 sc in next ch 3 space, chain 4,Treble picot across all 8 stitches of lg shell, turn work (should have 32 picots and 1 small shell)
- (front/right side)slip stitch around first treble crochet post, chain 5, dc around same treble post (first V stitch made), *chain 4, sc around 3rd treble post around from the back of the post (remember these stitches that go around post are always done on the back side of the work even when working from the front), (chain 3, sc around next treble post) 3 times, chain 4, V stitch over chain 3 loop * repeat 1 more time between*last time have the v stitch over a chain 4space, chain 4, sm shell over shell, chain 4, V stitch over chain 4,**chain 4, sc around 3rd treble post, (chain 3, sc around next treble post) 3 times, chain 4, V stitch over chain3 **repeat 1 more time between**(in the repeat the last V stitch goes around the back post of the last treble crochet post..( should have 6 V stitches and 1 sm shell)
continue in established pattern to the length of shawl you want end on a round with picot edges. (ruffly repeat rounds 5 through 7 each time you repeat these rounds you will also be increase the number of shells by two please pay attention to the first seven rows and how they increase as beyond that you should have the pattern established in your head as it isn’t written)
I added a graph hope this helps those who don’t speak English. Sorry It is hand drawn and in two pieces.
If you would like the shells/fans to stand up more and have a great 3D effect I have made some modifications on a yellow wool shawls I am making and have posted those modifications here so you can do them too if you would like.
If you want to make a hair or neck scarf out of this use size 10 thread and a size 5 hook. When finished to desired length ( which for me was when I had completed 7 large rounds of shells). For the medium shawl using same size thread and hook as above make 14 large rounds. When I say large rounds I mean complete a repeat of the large shell all the way to the picot that is one complete large shell round. When I get the large shawl done I will post that as well for size 10 thread.I left it simple but you could put a picot edge across the front. Then just tie ends to hold in place.
Do not use this pattern to make things for sale for personal use only fine to give as gifts for Christmas and Mother’s Day and things of that sort.

>How too: Grow your own Snowflakes

in holiday:christmas, tutorials
>This is something we did in Science class this year thought you might have fun doing it too.
supplies
- borax
- pipe cleaners
- boiling water
- food coloring
- container to hold solution
- string
Grow your very own pretty snowflakes for your windows. The kids will enjoy this and think it so cool plus they get a little science lesson out of it too, show your children how crystals grow.
Its glittering crystals form when the pipe-cleaner snowflake form is submerged into a solution made of borax dissolved in boiling water with food coloring. As the water cools, the borax forms crystals that attach to the fuzzy hairs of the pipe-cleaners.
- Twist three 5-inch pieces of pipe cleaner together to form a snowflake you can make them longer for a bigger flake but it means more solution and a bigger container to hold it in
- then add a 1 1/2-inch piece to each point: if making a larger flake make lots of these spikes coming off of the main points remember snow flakes are symmetrical
- Tie the flake with the string to the stick ideas for stick Popsicle or pencil or just a twig off of the tree outside preferably one that fell on its own so you don’t hurt the tree
- A big enough container a glass jar is best then suspended flake so that it doesn’t touch the sides of the container
- Add to jar: 3 tablespoons borax and 1 drop blue food coloring ) or what ever color you like) per 1 cup of boiling water
- Hang the snowflake in the jar. Let sit overnight or longer; if you let sit longer you will need to make the solution again each day and place it in a new container to cool then add the snowflake if you put the snow flake into the boiling water your previously made crystals will dissolve in the hot solution. So just wait for the new solution to cool before adding your snowflake to the new container
- remove and hang in window and enjoy

>Bolero Romanian Point lace pattern circa 1900

in crochet, Needlelace, romanian point lace, tutorial/video, tutorials
>
I have been working on my storage unit the last few days. I plan to get back tot eh tutorial for heirloom sewing in the next few days. I have been working on this a little at night right before going to bed and while watching movies. It has a long way to go. I hope it fits it should but if not I guess my dress forms will be well dressed as if they aren’t already.
Originally this was supposed to be done in battenberg lace. I may make one in battenberg as well but I wanted one in Romanian point lace. I have lots of supplies from 1900 so if I made one it would be made out of the old linen tapes and such that I own. I just am not fond of the care involved in a battenberg jacket. Because Romainan cord is thicker it never needs ironing and has a personality all its own.
A pattern at this price would not happen today. This pattern is circa 1900.
UPDATE
I person in my flickr groups posted a tutorial on her blog she makes her cord different than I was taught so I do not know if hers unravels easy I will have to try her way and see.
But here is the link if you are wanting to learn to do this type of lace. Let her know I sent you take care and have fun making lace. She has step by step instructions and a video of the cord like I do
>Yoyo Crochet Tutorial in book form
16 Apr 2010 4 Comments
in book, featured in publication, tutorials, yoyo crochet
>
My popular yo-yo crochet tutorial has now been made into a book so you can take it with you when you go places and keep it with your project. Annie’s Attic has made it available for those who have asked when can they buy a hard copy the time is approaching.
There are the old ways as well as a few new ways of manipulating the yoyos such as :Hexagon yo-yo, zig-zag yo-yo, granny square yo-yo, straight lines yo-yo and yo-yos in a chevron formation. The techniques are discussed in the projects so you can learn to manipulate this very versatile stitch all the more and create some of your own unique projects as well as the ones in the book.
- You can be put on a waiting email list so when the book is available to pre-order you will receive and email for it. That area is in the link above in the box that reads “notify me”.
I am so excited about this it is so weird to see my name in print on a book cover that can be purchased all over the world by a major distributor. This is something I wanted to do for a while I hope to be able to do more things in the future.
- baby blanket
- hex lap afghan( which has the hexagon pattern and how to join them in it)
- hex pillow
- trivet
- place-mat set
- matching hot plate for place-mat set
- shawl
- hat to match shawl (2 versions of hat one short and one longer)
- scarf
- Then there is the tutorial itself which covers row construction, granny construction, joining has more info for different techniques than the one on my blog did
Bonus explanations of how to use tutorial in the joining area of the book’s how to there is ideas how to make 3 more items
- granny square yoyo scarf
- giant yo-yo granny square baby car seat afghan
- granny squares (like my afghan in thread) with starting chain counts
To clear up some confusion that may arise from the sites references.
Annie’s site reads 8 projects and the cover reads 9 but there are 12 if you count the three explained at the end of the joining tutorial and then there is the tutorial itself. I am not counting the second version of the hat as a separate pattern but if you did then add one more to the list.
