indiayarncircle

We are on our last section of this CAL and We cant believe it!!

Its been super fun to see the progress and work with all of you on this CAL!!

Before we dive into this week instructions, here are links to previous weeks.

Materials and Registration Week – CLICK HERE.

Base of the Bag – Week 1 – CLICK HERE.

Side / body of the bag part 1 – Week 2 – CLICK HERE.

Side/ Body pf the bag Part 2 – Week 3 – CLICK HERE.

This week is all about the cord, tassels, straps and different ways of making it! So lets dive in!

Cord, Tassels, Strap

Cord

We can make either a braided cord or a kumihimo cord.

1) Braided Cord: If you are using a braided cord, this way you can measure the length.
                           Put a piece of any color yarn through the holes of the bag and tie it the way you want.
                           And measure this length.
                           Take a couple of yarns of all 5 colors and divide them into three sections and start
                           braiding.

2) Kumihimo Cord: It is made with a Kumihimo Disc. The yarns have to be 3 times longer than the length
                               you want your cord to be. Kumihimo cord stretches a little so keep the measurement
                               smaller than the length actual required.
                               I have used pattern #k10551 from friendship-bracelets.net
                              added by KimS23
                              Sample Cord measures 89cm/ 35 inches
                              You can use any pattern you desire.

You can refer to this video as reference.


Tassels

Make tassels of your choice.
Add tassels to your cord once you put the cord through the holes in your bag.

You can refer to this video as reference.


Strap

We will make a crocheted strap for our Mochila.

Sample Strap measures 100cm with 305 foundation chain.
If you want your strap longer than this, make 365 foundation chain.

1)   The strap is crocheted lengthwise.
2)   We start every row on the same side. i.e. If you are right handed, Start your every row on the     
right side. If you are left handed, Start your every row on the left side.
3)   Chain the number of stitches. (305,365)
4)   It is important to make foundation chain stitches tight.
5)   Start the row with a new yarn.
6)   Make a slip knot.
7)   Add all the yarns that we carry, leave them out for about 20-25cm.

8)   Start the row.

9)   At the end of the row, cut the yarns. Leave them out for about 20-25cm.

10)  We can braid them later or leave them as it is.

And pull out the working yarn.

Start the new row.

Sample Strap measures 100cm with 305 chains and 1.9mm hook.
If you want your strap longer than 100cm, make 365 foundation chain.

we can minimize the height by cutting the yarns one by one in Round-36.

Week 3 is going to be fun, as we complete our doily, block it and learn how to attach it to the ring and see our dreamcatcher finally taking shape.

We have a few additions to the notes for the pattern, hence we are listing it down again.

For all the instructions and video tutorial from the start till Row 19 check out our previous blog post HERE.

PATTERN:

NOTES :

  1. Ch3 is considered as 1Dc in all rows.
  2. Slst at the end of each round is to close the round. So slip stitch into the third chain of the first Ch3 of the respective rounds or slip stitch to the starting Bpdc stitch of each round.
  3. Ch1 before the Bpdc is not considered as a stitch.
  4. The number (a) written at the end of each round, indicates the number of stitches in the round.
  5. Number mentioned before a stitch is the number of stitches in the same stitch, and number mentioned after with the “x” is the number of repeats in the consecutive stitches. Eg : 3Dc x2 means, do 3 Double crochet into the same stitch and again 3 Double crochet into the next stitch as well.
  6. (Sl+ch1) y times is used to reach to the centre of chain space and is not considered as a stitch in the total no of stitches.
  7. Chains in between stitches is considered as a stitch in the total count.

INSTRUCTIONS:

R20 :   (slst into the Ch sp, Ch1) x2, 1Sc into the same sp, (Ch9, 1Sc into the next Ch sp) x23, Ch9, slst into the first Sc     (240)

R21 :   Ch1, 1Sc into the same sp, (10Dc into the Ch sp, 1Sc into the previous SC st) x23, 10Dc into the Ch sp, slst into the first Sc         (264)

R22 :   slst  x5 into the next 5 sts, Ch3, 1PS & 1Dc into the same st,1Dc, 1PS & 1Dc into the next st, {Ch5, sk  9 sts and (1Dc, 1PS & 1DC) x2 } x23, Ch5, slst into the first Sc    (264)

R23 :    slst x3 into the next 3 sts, Ch3, 1PS & 1Dc into the same st, (Ch4, 1Sc into the Ch sp, Ch4, sk 3 sts and 1Dc, 1PS, 1Dc into into the sp between the 2 Dc ) x23, Ch4, 1Sc into the Ch sp, Ch4, slst into the third Ch of the first Ch3   (288)

R24 :    slst x1 into the next st, Ch3 & 2Dc into the same st, (Ch4, 1Fpdc through the previous Sc, Ch4, 3Dc into previous PS) x23, Ch4, 1Fpdc through the previous Sc, Ch4, sl into the third Ch of the first Ch3            (288)

R25 :    slst, Ch1, 1Sc into the same st, (Ch12, 1Sc into the 2nd Dc of the 3Dc of previous round) x 23, Ch12, Slst into the first Sc, Ch1 and cut the yarn. Weave in the end  (312)

This completes the Doily for Dream Cal 2021. When you pin it down the way you do for blocking, it will measure up to 18”. If you are using a smaller hoop for the dream catcher, stop the Doily accordingly a few rounds before Round 25.

How to attach  the Doily to the Hoop

Cut 24 small pieces of the same yarn measuring around 6inches (Choose a length convenient for you to hold and tie) . Tie the 12Ch sp to the Hoop using these small yarn pieces. Make 3 to 4 knots to secure. Cut the excess and make the knotted portion behind the hoop and further secure with an adhesive. (adhesive is optional). This method and a totally different method is explained in detail in the part 03 video attached.

How to attach the Hangings

The length of the hangings can be your personal choice. The length used for the sample  is same as that of the diameter of the Hoop used, ie, 18 inches. The hangings are folded into two and then we make a knot through the hoop. Hence the length of each hanging to be approx 38 inches. (18 inches +18 inches + 2 inches extra for tying the knot) Fold the lace into two and place it beneath the hoop and take it over the hoop. Take the tail portion through the inside of the fold and tighten it by pulling the tail portion.

After hanging all the Laces, trim the bottom portion into a “V” shape. 

You can check out the video tutorial for the same below:

We have come to the end of the Dream Cal 2021 and now you all have a beautiful Dream Catcher to enhance the aesthetics of your favourite space.

Hope you all enjoyed making this with us. Please share your Photos and videos with Dream catcher and tag @indiayarn.circle and @naore_the_blot on Instagram and Facebook. Also use #dreamcal2021.

Hello crafters..

The final headband for the Winter KAL 2020 is here and today we are knitting in the round.

Winter KAL – Week 4 – Brioche Headband

indiayarncircle

Week 4 of the Winter KAL 2020 involves brioche knitting.

Brioche knitting is a family of knitting patterns involving tucked stitches, i.e., yarn overs that are knitted together with a slipped stitch from the previous row. Such stitches may also be made by knitting into the row below and dropping the stitch above.

This type of knitting leads to a thick and ribbed pattern which is perfect for shawls and sweaters and anything warm.

The headband has a very elegant and chic twist in the middle (a clever way to hide the seam!).

You can easily match your headband to your outfit.

Knit headband

The pattern is worked back and forth and is very easy to memorize, which makes it a quick project. You can also find a video tutorial of this headband at the end of the written instructions.

I hope you will enjoy knitting this headband with a twist!

To knit the headband you will need:

DK or worsted weight yarn, 4 or 5 mm knitting needles, tapestry needle

Pattern:

Cast on about 20 stitches (customisable) using long tail cast on

Row 1 (foundation row): Yarn over, slip 1 stitch purlwise, knit 2 together, repeat from * to * until the end of the row.

Row 2: Yarn over, slip 1 stitch purlwise, knit yarn over and the slipped stitch together, repeat from * to * until the end of the row.

Work row 2 for 20 inches or desired length.

Bind off loosely.

See the video for the twist

Fold into half, sandwich together and sew in all the four edges. Invert it to reveal twist.

Happy knitting!!
