  • 4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide
    4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide Crocheting is one of the oldest needlework arts. To crochet means to form yarn or thread into a fabric using a hook. Its name comes from the French word croche, meaning “hook.” The crochet hook was one of many tools first used to make delicate lace. As time went on, more stitches and designs came into being, and crocheting became a separate art. Crocheting appeals to many people because it can be used to make a variety of creations, such as scarves, caps, vests, sweaters, purses, belts, lace, doilies, tablecloths, afghans, pillow covers, and bedspreads. In the 4-H Crocheting Project, you can learn to: • Crochet articles for yourself and others • Select, use, and care for crocheting tools • Work and share with others in your club • Keep simple records of your project and activities The 4-H Crocheting project is divided into six phases. Skills to learn and suggested articles to make are on page 2. Your club leader will teach you how to do basic crochet stitches and help you find patterns to use as you learn. When you reach the advanced phases, you’ll need to choose patterns from a variety of pattern books, needlework books, and magazines. You can find these at newsstands, notions counters, fabric stores, or specialty shops that sell yarn and thread. If you want to show others what you learn in the Crocheting project, check with your leader about exhibiting articles at fairs or other community events. If you make an article to wear, you might like to model in your county 4-H fashion revue.

  • How to Calculate the Right Number of Stitches
    How to calculate the right number of stitches You have found a great stitch, either in knitting or crochet. You want to use it for your next project. Or you just want to make a simple shape item in one of the basic stitches. Maybe a scarf, cowl, a baby blanket, an afghan, poncho, bag, cushion cover etc. Here’s how you calculate how many stitches you need: Project width x Stitches in sample Sample width Let’s look at this in detail. First: 1. Decide what you will make and how wide it needs to be 2. Decide what kind of stitches you want to use 3. Select the yarn and hook/needles for your project 4. Knit / crochet a small sample piece, using the SAME yarn, hook/needles and stitch you will be using in the project How to make the sample Both knitting and crochet If your project will be knitted/crocheted in the round, make also the sample in the round. After each row, carry the yarn loosely at the back to the start of the row and begin knit- ting/crocheting across the right side of the work again. Crochet – Take the yarn and hook you are planning to use for the project This does not work if you don’t have the same size of the hook as for the actual project! – Make a chain that is over 10 cm/ 4 inches long. A good length is 14 cm / 5½ in. – Start crocheting using the stitches you want for your project. – Crochet back and forth until the piece is at least 5 cm / 2 in long.

  • Basic Guidelines on Using Macrame Rope Download
    BASIC GUIDELINES ON USING MACRAME ROPE FOR YOUR PROJECTS The above photograph is just a few projects that I have created using a variety of macramé stitches. I have experimented using satin ribbon and adding it to hair accessories, as you can see they all look amazing. If you are a beginner, I would highly recommend that initially you follow patterns. This guideline is useful and helpful for beginner and experienced macramé creators. I am still learning & experimenting after several years of making macramé products. How to measure rope/twine/cord/ribbon TIP: – If this is your very first project, I would first practice with some wool (though wool/yarn has a stretch to it, it is good to experiment with and then you will not waste your expensive rope/twine) or an inexpensive rope/twine. Please note that this is a basic guideline and estimation. We all have our own unique way of doing macramé stitches and your stitching will vary from day to day. Some days your macramé stitches are tight and other days they are loose, this will affect the amount of rope/twine that you use. As you use more patterns and create your beautiful macramé décor you will know approximately how much rope or twine to use. As with any creative project, whether you are painting, crocheting or macramé, the more detail your pattern/product is the more material/supplies you will use. Thus your simple macramé pattern, which uses a few square knot stitches to create your product such as a plant hanger will use a lot less rope/twine than a detailed wall hanging/wall art.
