Crochet Pom-Pom Frame Craft Project@ Connie's Spot©

Crochet Pom-Pom Frame Craft Project!!
By Connie's Spot©
Here's a quick & easy craft project!

Make this adorable Pom-Pom Frame for you're

favorite one...or let the kids make it...this is a fun and easy

project for kids...just make a bunch of these pom-poms glue
them onto a wood frame that's been painted.



 I also made a matching scarf for my pup...I used my Granny Triangle

Scarf pattern...I only did 5 rows and then I worked 1sc in 4sts, ch1 & turn.

I repeated that until the band reached around my pup's neck and to the other

side, I then worked 1sc, ch2, sk 2sts, 1sc in the last st, ch1 & turn.

1sc, 2sc in the ch2 space, 1sc and FO.

I painted my frame pink to match my pink pom-poms

To make easy and perfect size pom-poms use the Pom-Pom maker

by Yarnology...I love it and it and it cost $9.99 at Hobby Lobby...

it comes with 4 different sizes...and if you make hats and

put pom-poms on them then you have to get one of these!

I then glued my pom-poms onto my frame...this would be really cute

for Easter of St. Patrick's Day, or for any day!

"Granny Triangle Scarf"

It's another super easy pattern and this is a lot of fun to make...I had

so much fun making this one that I made it in light grey and red!

The instructions to join the scarf and make the fringe is below the picture tutorial.

Yarn & Hook size used:

1 Skein 252 yds. of I Love This Yarn in Denims (found at Hobby Lobby)

J 6.0mm Hook

I only used this Neon Green Yarn in the tutorial because it's easier to see!

How to make this Granny Triangle Scarf: 



Ch4

Join with a slst to make a ring

Ch3

Wk 3dc inside the ring

Ch1

Wk 3dc inside the same ring

 Ch1

Wk 3dc in the next ch1 space

Ch1

Wk 3dc in the same st

Wk 4dc in the top of the ch3

 In this photo you can see the triangle starting to take shape

Ch3 & turn

Wk 3dc in the first st

Ch1

Wk 3dc in the ch1 space, ch1

Wk 3dc in the next ch1 space, ch1, wk 3dc in the same space and ch1

 Wk 3dc in the next ch1 space, ch1

Wk 4dc in the ch3, ch3 & turn

Just continue working you're stitches just like this until it's the size you want...for my blue smaller scarf at the top of the post I did 18 rows...how to join the 2 ends together:

Put the 2 ends together, wk 1sc through the BLO in one end, wk 1sc in the FLO in the other end do that in 4sts and FO.

this will make a nice flat seam.

To make the Fringe:

Cut out strands about 14" in length, put 3 strands in each ch1 space all along the outer edge of scarf by:

Insert you're hook

Pull the yarn strands through the ch1 space

Pull it through till you have loops

Use you're fingers to pull the long strands through the loops

Pull the strands tightly around the ch1 space

I hope this picture tutorial has been helpful to you...happy crocheting!

Here's my little pup, well she's not so little anymore she's 16lbs. now...but

just as adorable as ever!

Free Cowl Scarf Crochet Pattern©

"Free Red Cowl Scarf Crochet Pattern©"
By Connie Hughes Designs©

Here's my free cowl scarf pattern that I made for a Christmas present...
it's quite pretty and super easy to make...You'll love how it feels and you'll really love how simple it is...it has a very elegant look to it...I made this scarf for my mother in law who just looks great in red...I hadn't been posting anything on my blog for awhile but that doesn't mean I haven't been working.  In fact I was so busy this Christmas making hats and scarves for family & friends...that is why I hadn't posted for awhile. But the holidays are over and it's time to get back to it...The yarn I used to make this scarf is from Hobby Lobby called I Love This Yarn it's very soft and has a nice bulk to it without being to bulky...it's a perfect yarn for hats and scarves.

I used about 4 Skeins of I Love This Yarn in Red (found at Hobby Lobby)
Yarn Weight: 4 - Worsted
Skein Yardage: 355 Yards
1 2" Decorative Button
J 6.0mm Hook

To make the Cowl: with I Love This Yarn in Red & J Hook

Ch74, join & ch4
Row 1. Sk the 1st 4 ch's, wk 1trc in the 5th ch from the hook, 1trc in each ch across, (like in the photo below) join & ch4.

Row 3. 1trc all the way around, join & ch4.
Repeat rows 2-3 until your scarf is the desired width. It really is simple but it doesn't look it, it really looks elegant.
