A Summer Wrap

A Summer Wrap is made using Double Trebles and Chain 2's.


For this pattern, I used Herrschner's Heritage Cotton Yarn (a linen color).  Color #0119730017  It is a cotton/poly blend.  www.Herrschners.com 

Approximate Dimensions:  24" wide by (crochet to desired length)

***Click the video below for quick DTR tutorial.

Pattern:

*Loosely chain 120 plus 5 more chains
(Ch. 5 counts as a double treble (DTR))

*DTR into 6th Ch. from hook.  (You will work in the same chain for the next stitches)
*DTR again into that same stitch (6th from hook) and Chain 2
*DTR 3 more times into the same chain, then Chain 2.

**Skip 10 Chains**

*DTR in the next chain (11th CH).  Do 2 more DTR's into the same Chain for a total 3DTR's.  Then Ch.2.  Do 3 more DTR's into the same Chain for a grand total of 6DTR's.  Ch.2.

**Skip 10 Chains**

*3DTR, Ch.2, 3DTR*, into next chain, skip 10 chains, Repeat Pattern
(*3DTR, Ch2, 3DTR, Sk10) until you reach the end.

*Chain 2, Turn Work, Slip Stitch into the previous Chain 2 space (in between the 3DTR's), Chain 5.  Do 2 more DTR's into the same Chain space, CH2, 3DTR's.  Chain 2.

*At the end of each row Ch2, Turn Work, Slip Stitch into Ch2 Space, Chain 5 and Repeat*

The Double Duty Caddy

I created this Caddy for my husband to hold his glasses, telephone, and the remote control.  It is made to fit between the mattress and bedspring.
Turns out, it doubles nicely as a couch caddy.

I made this caddy (I call it the "Daddy Caddy") because my husband has this bad habit of asking me to put his glasses on my bedside table because he doesn't want to move out of his comfy position in bed to put them on his bedside table.  I am hoping this caddy is a game changer, but I am not holding my breath.

Materials:
Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver)
Recommended Hook Size (I used a G-6 4.25 b/c I crochet loosely)
Needle
Scissors

**Chain 2 (turning chain) counts as a HDC.

Pattern:

Main Body:
*Row 1 - 42 HDC (half double crochet) Chainless Foundation
{{Chain 42 plus 2 more, turn work, ch 2.  HDC into 3rd Ch. from hook and ea. ch. across.  Turn work, Ch.2}}
*Row 2 - Turn work, Ch. 2. HDC in 3rd from hook and each HDC across til end.
*Rows 3 - 88 - Repeat Row 2.  Do not bind off.

*Count to row 68.  Fold row 69 over to create a pocket.  Sc crochet along the side, across the bottom of the pocket and back up the other side.  Bind off.

Large Pocket:  22 rows
*23 HDC Chainless Foundation (ch 23 plus 2, turn work, ch 2, hdc into 3rd from hook).  Leave long enough tail to attach to main body.  Approx. 2.5-3 yards.

Delightful Dish Cloth

I created these super quick and easy cloths for the men in my life; my husband and twin boys.

The cloth is made in multiples of 3's, so you can tailor it to your desired measurements.  This pattern measures approximately 8" x 8".

I used Lily Sugar N Cream cotton yarn and a 5.00mm, H/8 hook.

***HDC is created by - yarn over, go through chain, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through all 3 loops on your hook.

Pattern:    

Ch. 30

*Row 1 - Half Double Crochet into 3rd Chain from hook and each Ch across.  (27 stitches total)

*Rows 2-20 - Turn work, Ch 2.  HDC into 3rd Ch from hook and each HDC across.
