Gladys Gloves

A Free Crochet Pattern

 Today has been a day. We woke up to no water in the house. Our pipes froze. More specifically the pipes connected to our water meter froze. There are tons of others going through the same problem with these frigid temperatures, and I am thankful it was our water not working instead of our heat. Hopefully we will get things thawed out soon (with nothing broken) and be back to normal. Even with all the chaos I really wanted to get this new pattern out for everyone. 

I wanted to make a fitted glove (ie a glove with a thumb gusset), that had a comfortable fit, and also had a classic cable design that will never go out of style. This is a large pattern, mainly because of the thumb gusset, but don't let that scare you. Most of the rows only change by two stitches.

Infant Hat in Simple Cables

A Free Crochet Pattern

I am starting the process of adding all of the patterns that I have designed for http://crochetvolution.com/ to my blog. They will still always be there at that site and the link on Ravelry will still always take you there, but I wanted to have my patterns all in one spot. At least with the ones that I am allowed to do that with.

I thought I would start with the first one and work my way down. Interestingly my very first pattern is still one of my most popular patterns. I guess it is a good one. You may find the wording a little different from the original pattern, but I hope it provides more clarity.

Where can I get this free crochet pattern?

Super Chunky Twisty Neck Warmer

A Free Tunisian Crochet Pattern

I have this yarn: I think that maybe it is rug yarn. I used to have a lot of this yarn. I tried making it into a rug, and it looked awful.
I threw it away.
I know "Bad Julia, Bad!"
You do not throw yarn away, even when it has been made into something awful. You could find another purpose for it, and of course I did. 

I have been seeing these knitted neck warmers all over Pintrest and Etsy, and then my friend made one. I had to have one too. I would much rather crochet than knit so I hurried up and made a pattern for myself using Tunisian crochet. I am pretty happy with the results.

Where Can I Get This Pattern?

I have made a PDF Available for this Tunisian Crochet Pattern. This is a great option if you want to print it off, and it will be ads free. You can Find it in My Ravelry Store for $3.00.

Peek-a-Boo Striped Blanket

A free Crochet Pattern

This is a fun little blanket to make. Maybe you don't know if the baby will be a boy or a girl, or maybe you just like lots of color; this blanket can adapt to either of those situations.

There is a lot of activity to keep you interested. Even though there is a lot going on nothing is overly complicated that you can't do it. This pattern is made in an eight row repeat, and 4 of those rows you are only double crocheting.  I love the extra row of striped yarn that is peeking out between the spiked stitches.  

Peek-a-boo Striped Blanket

Difficulty Level: Intermediate (I have placed it at intermediate because of the color changes and the fpdc to a lower row) 

Yarn: Georga yarn: bebe luv baby, 120g, 100% acrylic (1 ball pink), (1 ball blue), ( 1 ball baby combo)

 (Now I do have to say something about this yarn. I bought it at Wal-mart here in Canada. It had a crazy amount of knots in it, maybe I had the luck of the draw, but there was a lot. This was also some of the softest creamiest yarn I have worked with. It was also a great price. Each skein was under 3 dollars, and 10 cents of every ball gets donated to the Children's Miracle Network.)

Hook:  H/8- 5.00MM

Gauge: 5 sc st =1 inch, 6 sc rows = 1 inch

Size:  28 inches by 30 inches, If you want a larger size increase your stitches by 8s.

Blanket Pattern

Row 1:  With the blue, Ch 112, dc in 3^rd ch from hook, for 109 dc total

Rows 9 and 10: repeat row 2

Rows 11 – 111: repeat rows 3 through 10. At the end of row 111 finish off, and weave in your ends. For projects like this I like to weave in my ends right after I cut it to start a new color, so if you do this you will just have one end to weave in.

Edging:

With the Umber join at any corner, (sc, ch 1, sc) in the corner space, sc in each st evenly around, and in each corner space (sc, ch 1, sc). Continue this pattern for 4 rounds.
