NOTES FROM THE EDITOR March 2015
There are opportunities around every corner. All it takes is a good eye, a little imagination, and a crochet hook! What are you waiting for? Reduce the amount of cash coming out of your wallet, reuse something you didn’t see function in, and recycle what would have gone into your nearby landfill. Shari McGraw Editor I suppose you have heard the saying, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, but how often do we put it into practice? Have you ever had a crochet or knit sweater, scarf, or blanket that were damaged in some way, unable to be used for their original purpose, or just weren’t the quality they used to be? How many times do we tend to throw these things away, or donate them to our local thrift store? My sister Kathy recently found an old throw blanket at a thrift shop that was in less than ideal condition and decided to get crafty! We all know how much super soft yarn can be, right? Well, Kathy took this incredibly soft knit throw that was no longer in grand condition and crocheted herself a cowl that only cost her $.50. Now she has something handmade to fit her own unique style! Can you imagine all of the things you can do with the sweater sitting in your closet right now that is too small, has a hole, faded or has shrunk in the wash? Be inspired and find potential in anything and everything around you! Spring is almost here and we are getting ready for Easter and the holidays that come around this time of year. We are putting on our Easter bonnets, dressing up and gathering with family. Shown here is a little something we have in the making for our April issue. www.entwinemagazine.com Crochet is an easy hobby to learn and with
just a little practice, you’ll be making items
such as hats, scarves, blankets and more!
Most patterns use the basic stitches so you’re
in luck! Get ready to CROCHET!
By: Kristi Simpson
How to hold your hook:
There are two common ways to hold your hook a) pencil and b) knife style
Try both holds and see which one you prefer.
These are not the only two, but the most common.
How to chain: (ch)
Each pattern will start with a specific chain amount. Sometimes the chain amount
will be 2 and sometimes it may be 250 (blanket or scarf are examples). It's really
easy--but practice and make it consistent.
*Tip: work chains LOOSELY, and not too tight.
How to Slip Stitch: (sl st)
Slip stitch is a common stitch used within many patterns.
It's commonly used to join a ring (hats are a great example), or used as a stitch
without height.
Push hook through stitch as directed in pattern. Here, instructions would read:
'Ch4, sl st in the first chain to form a ring.'
So, ch4 and then push your hook through the first chain that you created and pull
the yarn back through. You will have 2 stitches on the hook. Take the 2nd stitch you
just created and pull it through the first. Sl st complete.
How to single crochet: (sc)
The single crochet stitch is very basic and very common. It is important that you
learn to make this stitch consistent: not too tight and not too loose. If you make it
tight, your hands will hurt. If you make it too loose, it will look sloppy and it will be
hard to match your gauge and look of a pattern.
Push your hook through the stitch and yarn over. Pull the yarn back through, you
will have 2 loops on the hook now. Yarn over and pull through both loops.
SC complete.
How to half double crochet: (hdc)
Yarn over, push you hook through the stitch, yarn over again. Pull the yarn through
the stitch and you will have 3 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all 3
loops. Hdc complete.
How to double crochet: (dc)
The double crochet stitch is one of the main stitches. It is a great way to add length
to a project, and is a more 'open' stitch and not tight as compared to a single crochet
stitch.
Yarn over, push your hook through the stitch. Yarn over
and pull back through the stitch (3 loops on hook). Yarn
over, pull yarn through the first TWO stitches only and
you will have 2 loops on hook remaining. Now, yarn
over and pull through the last two loops.
DC complete.

Pattern Language- stitch placement
As you enter into more complex and advanced
patterns, you will see a change in the "language" of
the pattern, or how it is written out. Where in a
condensing it to save time and make room for the
rest of the pattern.
more beginner or rudimentary pattern you might
read "2 DC in the next stitch, 1 DC in each of the
next 5 stitches", you would read "2DC, DC 5" in a
more advanced pattern. Placing the number of
stitches"
If I take out all of the other words that indicate the
where, and let the number be the indicator, there
stitches before the abbreviation indicates an
increase, and placing it afterward indicates the
would be no more need for the extra words! And so,
the above becomes
number of stitches to crochet into. It seems
confusing and complicated, but in all actuality it is
simply taking the first, easier pattern and
"2 DC in the next stitch, 1 DC in each of the next 5
"2DC, DC 5"
Don't let advanced pattern language get in your way
of creating a beautiful work of art- go at it and see
what you can do! I know you will do great!

Crafted for the King
There is something sweet about a classic, elegant heirloom blanket for a new baby. Growing up, my great and
great- great grandmothers had heirloom blankets that they had passed onto us, and I used to adore looking at
the hand quilted stitches and imagine them wrapping my own sweet baby up one day. Now that I have a child of
my own, and those same blankets were preserved for my children, I love making things in the same elegance
and excellence that the matriarchs of my own family made for generations after them. This Basket weave stitch
is equally simple and complex; elegant and sweet- which makes it perfect for an heirloom baby blanket. It is
sure to be loved for generations to come!

Recycled Basket
By Kathy’s Crochet
[email protected]
In an effort to recycle an old T-shirt, I
decide one day to make something cute
for Easter. This basket is the product of
that idea. Your possibilities are endless
using your own imagination.
Difficulty level: Easy
Material needed:
◊ X L T shirt
◊ Hook P 10 mm
◊ Scissors
To prepare crochet material (yarn):
Cut hem off bottom of shirt (save for handle)
Begin cutting the T shirt from bottom at a slant, spiral cut all the way around the
skirt portion of the shirt until you reach the sleeve. (Be careful to keep this all in
one piece so you can have a continuous piece of “yarn”).
Pull tight to stretch and create rolled edges of the material. (This will also
lengthen your yarn).
Ch 4, sl into first ch to create circle
Round 1: ch 2, 11 dc into the center of circle (12), sl to join
Round 2-3: ch 2, *2 dc in ch 2 space (not in st), dc in next space,* rpt from *to*, sl
to join circle.
Round 4-8: ch2, 1 dc in each st around, sl to join cr.
Handle:
Using the hem of the shirt, cut the stitching off to make your yarn smaller and
easier to crochet.
Sl st to basket rim, ch to desired length of handle, attach with sl st to opposite
side of the basket.
Bow:
Cut strips from sleeve portion to create the yarn needed. Stretch material to
make edges roll as you did with your basket yarn. Thread into the base of the
handle and tie your bow.
Optional: Use a different color T-shirt for your bows to create a contrast or
different look.
The handle can made in another as well. To increase basket size, rpt round 1 to
increase.
