Summer Fingerless Gloves

Image
Project skill level: Beginner This pattern uses US and [UK] Terms. This is a quick & easy pattern and a great summer version of the fingerless glove. They are quite retro and remind me of 80s music and fashion icons Madonna and Cyndi Lauper. You will use very little yarn for this project allowing you to make several pair from one skein. For the average adult size I used approximately 13 grams of yarn. If you have not done so already, please join my Facebook Group and share pics of your Summer Fingerless Gloves with me there.

Spring into Summer Headband

Image
Project skill level: Beginner This pattern uses US and [UK] Terms. In celebration of Springtime, I have created these light and airy headbands to add a pop of colour and sparkle as we head outside to enjoy some much-needed fresh air and sunshine.  Headbands are such a great accessory because they can easily add something special to your outfit.  Allow your creativity to run free with this quick & easy pattern. As shown, you can make solid-colour headbands, or you can go crazy with colour combinations to create your own unique finished project. For the adult-sized headband, I used approximately 20 grams of yarn, which is around 72 yards [ 66 meters]. If you have not done so already, please join my Facebook Group and share pics of your Spring into Summer Headband with me there. Materials: DK Yarn 6mm Hook Tape Measure Scissors Yarn Needle Size Chart :  Gauge: Four rows of seven Double Crochet [Treble Crochet] stitches = 2 inches. Stitches & Abbreviations: Chain (CH) - Yarn over.
