QUESTION
RE: crochet mittenss
HI and Happy New Year!!
I made these cute mittens with matching hat in thread for Christmas and sold a lot of them. They turn out sooo cute!
I'd love to have a pattern for children and adults. I'm crocheting for the needy in our small town!
I'm not smart enough to figure out how to make this pattern bigger. I tried using bigger hooks, thread but never could figure it out.
Do you know of a pattern like this? It is soo easy.
Here's a copy of the pattern. I've had this since 2007 not sure where I got it.
Thank you for any help. I have had trouble with other crochet patterns for mittens! Can't get the thumb right.
Sorry this is so long!!! I hope it got it all typed!!

ANSWER
To enlarge your pattern you would need to add extra chains to begin with and then include extra rows to shape the size mitten you want.
Here's a free pattern link to various sizes of mittens:

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
“Peace begins with a smile."
~~ Mother Teresa ~~
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Matthew 5:9
And if the house is worthy, let your greeting of peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your greeting of peace return to you.
Matthew 10:13
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
Luke 14:27
Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."
John 16:31-33
Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:1-2
For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.
Romans 8:5-11
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Chirst Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
Galatians 5:22-26
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:6-7

CROCHET STITCH or TECHNIQUE
(A
different crochet stitch and/or tip featured in each issue...
to be added later to the Crochet Basics page)
BACK LOOP ONLY (BL OR BLO)
Instead of crocheting in the entire stitch
which is both loops on the top of the stitch... you only catch or go through
one of the loops when you do each stitch.
The back loop (bl) is the loop farthest from
you.
Watch the video:
"On-line
encyclopedia of knitting and crochet facts"
http://www.lionbrand.com/faq/learnToCrochet.pdf
Take a look:
http://www.allfreecrochet.com/Crochet-Designer/Lisa-Hamblin-Crochet-Designer
Some stitches are worked in the front or back loop of an existing stitch.
To remember which loop is the front and which is the back... just think about the front loop being the loop directly in "front" of you. Then you will remember the back loop must be the one farthest away from you.

Re: ABC Blanket
I watched your video on YouTube on how to change color on the ABC Blanket. I am making my first one and I want to know about the puff stitch. I can make them but how do you keep them on the front of the blanket. Some of mine will move to the back making it look like I have missed a puff. I will push it through and then it will move again. I want to know what I may be doing wrong.
Thanks, Cheri Blair

Thanks for watching the video.
The single crochet puff stitches are worked from the wrong side of the afghan.
To make the stitch you yarn over and pull up a loop for a total of 4 times which
will leave 9 loops on your hook. Now yarn over and pull through 8 of those loops.
Then yarn over again and pull through the last two loops.
When pulling through the last two loops I push the puff part of the stitch away from me...
toward the front of the work (remember we are working from the wrong/back side).
Try tightening your tension on the last "draw through" on the stitch and see if that helps
the puff stay on the right side of the work.

Thank you!

What does it mean when the pattern says sc crochet over the stiches.
Donna Wood
<< Reply >>
How you single crochet over stitches depends on the pattern language.
You may be instructed to single crochet over the next 5 stitches which could mean to work a single crochet into each of the next 5 stitches. OR, you could be instructed to work over a stitch into a row below the normal working row.
Is the pattern you are referring to online?
Re: Question!
What is 3 sc in next chain?
I'm looking for video that will help me to see what is 3 sc in next ch, will you please help me?
Narissa Patrick
<< Reply >>
See if this video helps.
This video shows how to work one single crochet stitch at a time into individual chain stitches.
To work 3 single crochet stitches into the next chain means you work all three single crochet stitches into the same chain stitch.

I do not have a video showing each of the puff stitch letters. The entire alphabet is graphed in the ABC afghan pattern that is posted on the Crochet N More website courtesy of Caron International.

Re: Flower_Bookmark
I just want to thank you for posting this pattern. I am a relative beginner, and definitely a beginner to working with thread. I felt really good about completing my first project using thread and actually having it look good! It doesn't look as good as yours, but I am really pleased ;)
Thank you again,
Sincerely,

Hello, I’m trying to make your easy dog sweater (the one Schotzi is wearing in the photograph) and I’m confused by round 22, “Hdc in each st and ch around”. Does that mean around the 16 chains and the entire top of the sweater, or just around the 16 chains and the stitches under the 16 chains. . . ? I’m fairly new at crocheting and get easily lost. Would you help if you can, please?
Thank You,
Marilyn
<< Reply >>
That means you work a half double crochet in each of the half double crochet stitches as well as into each of the 16 chains you made. This round begins forming the neck of the sweater.
Kind
words can be short and easy to speak,
but their echoes are truly endless.

This book
is a wonderful addition to any crochet library.
I've had numerous requests over the years of what to crochet for
boys.
Crobots are definitely the answer!
This 96-page book is filled with numerous types of Crobot patterns
as well as well-illustrated instructions for the
crochet stitches, assembly stitches and other embellishments used
in the patterns.
The patterns are well written, some of the book is written in a
small font but the pictures are wonderful. NOTE:
This book comes to you with a safety warning regarding the small
parts used in the patterns.
Therefore, please use your own discretion as to the age of the child
you intend the gift for.

"Laughter is an instant vacation." - Milton Berle

Humor provides us with a valuable tool for
maintaining an inner strength in the midst
of outer turmoil. - Brian Deery
Miss Emily was everybody's favorite spinster.
Every year, for her birthday, she received dozens of
little gifts from friends and family. Year after year
the knickknacks were added to, and soon filled every
corner of the house.
On her hundredth birthday, her niece asked what she
wanted this year.
Miss Emily said, "I'll take a kiss. Anything I don't have
to dust!"
One day, my husband announced to the family that he was going to fast and pray.
Ginny, our 5-year-old, had recently learned that fasting meant not eating. "No!" she shouted. "You can't fast! You'll die!"
Her dad carefully explained that many men and women fasted in Bible times.
Ginny paused a moment. Then, with a flash of insight and a note of warning, she proved her point. "And they all died," she said.
During the church service the choir presented a special choir arrangement.
Standing on her mother's lap, Mallory, 2, was engrossed
in the music because her grandmother was singing. When there
was a pause in the music and everything got quiet, Mallory
called out, "Good job, Grandma!"
A teenager who had just received her learner's permit offered to drive her parents to church. After a hair-raising ride, they finally reached their destination.
When the mother got out of the car she said emphatically,
"Thank you!"
"Anytime," her daughter replied with a smile.
As her mother headed for the church door, she said,
"I
wasn't talking to you. I was talking to God."
It was the first camping experience for Jed.
As soon as he had pitched his tent, he went for a hike in the
woods. In about fifteen minutes he rushed back into camp,
bleeding and dishevelled.
"What happened?" asked a fellow camper.
"I was chased by a black snake!" cried the frightened Jed.
The camper laughed and retorted, "A black snake isn't deadly."
"Listen," groaned Jed, "If he can make you jump off a fifty-foot
cliff, he is!"
Little Bobby was spending the weekend with his grandmother after a particularly trying week in kindergarten.
His grandmother decided to take him to the park on Saturday morning. It had been snowing all night and everything was beautiful. His grandmother remarked, "Doesn't it look like an artist painted this scenery? Did you know God painted this just for you?"
Bobby said, "Yes, God did it and he did it left handed."
This confused his grandmother a bit, and she asked him "What makes you say God did this with his left hand?"
"Well," said Bobby, "we learned at Sunday School last week that Jesus sits on God's right hand."
A woman was shopping for outfits for her fiftieth high-school
reunion when a group of teenage girls came in to try on prom
dresses.
"This dress makes me look forty years old," one girl remarked.
The woman called out, "May I have it? That's just what I'm
looking for."
A man went to a pet shop and asked for a bird that could sing. The proprietor brought out a gorgeous tropical bird,
looked the bird in the eye, puckered his lips and started to whistle.
The bird took up the very note and finished the tune with
him.
"That's mighty fine," the customer said, "but I'd never
pay money for that bird. His right leg's crippled."
"I thought you wanted me to sing!" cried the bird. "I
gotta dance, too?"
A friend was thinking about buying a new house in the country and asked me to come out and look at it. We found
the town, but we couldn't locate the road. We drove over to
city hall, where a community get-together was going on, and
asked around, but no one had heard of the road. Even the
policemen and fire personnel were stumped.
We went in to city hall and consulted a map, with no luck, until finally one young man came to our aid. He pointed to
the map, showing us exactly how to get there. I thanked the
young man and asked if he was with the police or fire
department.
"Neither," he replied. "I deliver pizzas."
A couple's lawn mower was broken, and the wife kept hinting to her husband that he should get it repaired. But the message never sunk in. She finally thought of a way to make her point.
One day the husband arrived home to find her seated in the grass busily snipping away with a pair of scissors. He watched silently for a short time, and then went into the house.
He returned a few moments later, handed her a toothbrush and said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the sidewalk."
The doctors say he should be able to walk again, but always have the limp.
An irritated father complained to his golf buddy, "When I was a kid, my parents sent me to my room without supper if I misbehaved. But my son has his own TV, telephone, computer, and every computer game and CD player in his room!"
"So how do you handle it?" his friend asked.
"I send him to MY room!"
The night before we were to attend a celebrity golf
tournament, my friend Irene went to a party in honor
of the event. Several of the famous athletes who were
playing in the tournament were at the door, greeting
guests. Among them was Joe Montana, the pro
football Hall of Fame quarterback and Super Bowl
winner.
Shaking Irene's hand, he said, "Hi! Joe Montana."
Well, Irene didn't know Joe Montana from Joe
Six-Pack, so in all sincerity she extended her hand
and said, "Irene. Minnesota."
