Soap Pockets©

Here is my version!

H hook
Worsted weight cotton yarn (here I used Peaches & Cream Potpourri)

Chain 26.

Row 1: sk 1st ch, sc across (25 st).

Row 2: ch 1, sc in each front loop across, turn (25 st).

Row 3-22: Repeat row 2.

Finish off.

Sc around 2 sides to make a pocket. When you reach the end of the second side, ch approximately 65-70 st, depending on how long you want the loop to be. Leave a long tail to pick up at the end.

Weave the ch through the open spaces of the top row that is open. attach the ch row to the corner of the pocket. Fasten off.

To use, put soap in the pocket and pull the opening closed.

Projects to do next....

I am starting a recycled bag pattern. That is kind of on hold for now. I want to finish the Voodoo Rug I have in progress...try to get that yarn out of my stash and the rug on the floor.
After that, I want to create a soap holder for the shower. Then it will be back to the recycled bag pattern. I am sure it won't really go that way, but one can hope.

On a lighter note, below is a copy of the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, March 2007. I know it is not current. Who cares? As you can see, Fall Out Boy is on the front. All I have to say is Pete Wentz is HOT.
What? Am I wrong?

Fan Edged Armwarmers ©

I made these to match the Fan Edged Hat. You may need to use a smaller hook to get a smaller armwarmer. These came out a bit larger than I expected (but they are not tight).

February 2009 Crochetlist Dishcloth Exchange

Here is the dishcloth I received for February 2009. I am afraid to use it! I did have to put it up though, my dog seems to think it belongs to him! Thank you Theresa!

Update to Fan Edged Armwarmers

Ok, so I have been working on making the Fan Edged Armwarmers to go with the hat. I have been working out the pattern...and working...and working.

I made one, then the other, but messed up on the second one. Short by a dc row. So I have to undo it. Which means I can test the pattern a third time to be sure it is what I want.

Dragon Coasters©

You will need:

H Hook
3-4 oz. yarn (here I used Aunt Lydia's Caress Microfiber in Light Yellow Green and Paton's Cotton Perle, 100% mercerised in cream.

Dishcloth and Coasters

I recently joined a dishcloth exchange. This is the first exchange I have been in. This is for the February 2009 exchange.
Along with the dishcloth above, I sent these coasters.
The coaster pattern is copyright Dragonfaeriee Crochets! 2009. It will be in an upcoming post.

Fan Edged Lavender Hat

Here's the lavender version of the Fan Edged Hat. Worked the same way as the blue heather. This was the "test" pattern once I had it written up.

Enjoy!

And my next post will (hopefully) be a pattern written up for armwarmers to match this hat.

Fan Edged Hat ©

This hat pattern was created quite a few years ago. I have just realized that I never posted it. I have tested it a couple times, it is not perfect, if there are any errors or questions please let me know.

The "SWoofer" ©

This pattern came out of necessity to cover the three (Yes, 3!) empty swiffer type mops I have.

It is named the "SWoofer" because I have two dogs that shed big time!

Any type of "kitchen cotton" will do. For this project I used Peaches N' Cream in white and an "H" hook.

Finished size: This one pictured here is 4 1/2 inches x 10 inches. Measure your mop head to ensure a tight fit.

SWoofer Cover

Ch 17.

Row 1: Sc in second stitch from hook. Sc into each stitch across, turn. (16 st).

Rows 2-9: Ch 1. Sc into each st across, turn. (16 st in each row).

Row 10: Ch 2. Hdc across in front loops only, turn. (16 st).

Rows 11-38: Ch 2. Dc, sc across, turn. (16 st in each row).

Row 39: Ch 2, Hdc across in front loops only, turn. (16 st).

Rows 40-48: Ch 1, sc across, turn. (16 st).

Fasten off.

Fold at HDC row on each end. Using as sl st, sc or whipstitch, hook the sc and dc/sc sections together. (I used the sc and did about 10 st).
