Ditsy Daisy bunting. Decorate a childs room or pretty up your home with my pretty daisy bunting pattern...


Hello friends, it's been a while again since I last posted but here we are at last and with a new pattern to share with you.  My Ditsy Daisy granny square has been so popular I thought why not use it to decorate your home.  So my granny square became a triangle and the triangle became this pretty daisy buntiing and who doesn't love a bit of bunting?




The perfect way to add a touch of colour and cheeriness to your home, or a childs room and I have made an acompanying video tutorial to work alongside the written pattern. 






As always an ad free pdf version of this pattern is available in my online stores, thank you for helping to support my work...










Ditsy Daisy Bunting

Darning needle

Beginning popcorn - ch3, 2dc in same sp, remove hook from st and insert in top ch3 from front to back, insert into last st loop from back to front and pull through.




Other notes:  I used Stylecraft Special Aran in colours Baby Mint, Baby Pink, Fondant, Cream, Saffron, and Aspen to make my bunting.  Depending on what type of yarn you have used you may be able to dry block your pennants by simply placing on a blocking board and leaving overnight.  Alternatively, they may be wet or steam blocked.  You can make as many pennants as you wish to adjust the size of your bunting.  I made 9 and my finished bunting measured approx 128 inches (325cm)

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Bun Wreaths & Hair Ties - Part of the 2020 Charity Stash Bash CAL

Hello friends.  It's time for our fourth instalment of the 2020 Charity Stash Bash and this month I have a super cute project to share with you.  This would be a great addition to the shoe boxes if you are making these to donate.  They are also a great craft fair item and make a really pretty last minute gifts for someone with long hair.

An ad free pdf version of this pattern is available in my online stores, thank you for supporting my work...








If you would like to take part and prefer knit over crochet, I have linked some other pattern choices along with more crochet hair ties for you to make.  Just click the Stash Bash link above for more patterns and information.

Other notes:  The bun wreaths are designed to place around a finished bun without twisting.  The Ruffled hair tie may be twisted multiple times to tie up the hair.  As the hair tie will be stretched make sure to fit as many stitches around as you can to allow for this (or you can also use as a bun wreath).

Round 1 Sc around your hair tie in multiples of 6 until you can’t fit any more sts (the hair tie should be completely covered), join with sl st to 1st sc.

Helix Ice Pop Cosy - A free pattern by Lullaby Lodge...

We are just heading into the second week of the summer holidays here in the Uk and we have had some really warm weather lately.  So what better way to cool down than with some delicious ice pops.  Your kids will love these!  These cosies will keep their little hands warm and keep the ice pops cool.  They are so quick and simple to make, you can whip them up in no time at all.



Helix Ice Pop Cosy


Materials

Aran / Worsted cotton yarn small amounts 
Darning needle
Stitch marker (optional)

Hook

4.5mm (7)

Size

Variable

Ability

Beginner

Abbreviations US Terms (UK Conversion)

sc – single crochet (double crochet)
ch - chain
sl st - slip stitch
st(s) - stitch(s)
pm - place marker

Other notes: I used Drops Paris to make my cosies, but you can use any cotton Aran / worsted weight yarn to make yours.  The cosies are made by working with two colours simultaneously in a spiral.  Move stitch marker up after each round if using.  As the size of ice pops can vary, if you find your cosy is too big, go down a hook size and if you find it is a little tight go up a hook size.


With colour A ch3 and join with sl st to form ring.

Round 1 ch1 (does not count as st), 3sc into ring, pm in first sc (if using).  Pull up a long loop so you don’t lose your stitches and remove hook.  Join colour B into ring with sl st, ch1, 3sc into ring.  (6sc)


Do not join in the round we will be working in a spiral…

Round 2 with B 2sc in each of the next 3sts.  Pull up a long loop so you don’t lose your stitches and remove hook.  Insert hook back into colour A and 2sc in each of the next 3sts.  (12sc)



Round 3 with A sc in next 6sts, with B sc in next 6sts.  (12sc)



Repeat round 3 until your cosy is desired size, (I made mine a total of 18 rounds).


Final round with A sl st into next st and fasten off, with B sl st into next st and fasten off and weave in ends.


You can really go to town with colours and they are so fast to work up you won't be able to stop at only one...
