Arte de Shelley

You can make this with worsted weight and a 5 mm crochet hook or dk yarn and a smaller hook, for a smaller bracelet. You can even use bulky weight yarn and make it long enough for a belt- but you might want to use a little smaller hook than recommended on the yarn label so it is stiff-er like a belt.  I used a beautiful "house-blend" from Portland's Yarnia for this bracelet. Chain 18 Row 1- 2 triple crochets (tc) in the 3rd chain from hook, and 2 double crochets (dc) in same chain. Turn. Row 2-chain 2, in the last stitch from prev. row (double crochet) work 2 triple crochets, and 2 double crochets. Turn. Row 3-and all remaining rows: repeat row 2 until you get the length you want and pull yarn thru, to secure.   You can now make 15 chain stitches for ties at this end. 

Crochet Tibetan Hat pattern  

I think that the brick stitch would make a nice hat. Or if you live somewhere warm, maybe a dishcloth... Chain multiples of 4, plus 3 for a turning chain.   Brick Stitch Pattern  Make the foundation chain, and three extra chains to turn. Row 1. Work 3 D.C. in 4th ch. from hook. * Skip 3 ch., 1 S.C., 3 ch., and 3 D.C. in the next ch. Repeat from * across row, and end 1 S.C. Row 2. Ch. 3 and turn. Work 3 D.C. in the S.C. of previous row. * 1 S.C. in the space made by ch. 3 of previous row, ch. 3, and 3 D.C. in same ch. 3 of previous row. Repeat from * across row. End with 1 S.C. Repeat Row 2 throughout.

I have now re-done the Running in Circles table centerpiece & would like to share it. Once I have the pattern converted to pdf, I will update as well. In the last photo in this post, its sitting next to a Tiffany lamp....pretty cool, huh? The lamp was so incredibly heavy that I simply couldn't lift it to set it on top of the centerpiece, not to mention the fact the it would have covered up most of the Running in Circles piece! The pattern can be found on Cut Out + Keep website, it is not in pdf format. Enjoy!!

This is a beautiful pattern, I love the yarn, love the sheen, the color!! Love it.... must make this, maybe one in black too, and maybe red, or plum..... It is here: Crochet by Faye/ by Robyn Chachula
