Stargazing Earwarmer - Free Crochet Pattern and Tutorial




Hi Friend!

I made a new pattern for a star stitched ear warmer in lovely, LOVELY Patons Roving Yarn. Its untwisted, wooly beauty. The idea came to me while I was catching up with (binging) Jonna Jinton on youtube. She had this amazing ear warmer and I just needed one...to complete my transformation into an ethereal Swedish blond woman that dances in the forest, plunges into sub-freezing water and (of course) calls cows. She is amazing. Balancing rocks on one another in the river and painting with natural materials by candlelight. It's incredibly relaxing to watch (except the mosquitos! Eww) 



So...where was I. In an effort to connect to this amazing lifestyle I needed my own white, wooly ear warming. Would you like to make one, too? If so the written pattern is here. And the video of exactly what I did is just down below.



And here is the printable pattern!

I hope that you enjoy it!

Mary Jane Slippers! Free Easy Crochet Pattern



Hi Friends! I just finished recording the video for my Mary Jane Crochet Slippers. This pattern is so easy and so fast. I have been making these for the last few weeks. I cannot seem to stop collecting Bernat Blanket Yarn ever since I designed these. I hope you like them as much as I do!


The free printable and downloadable PDF Or keep scrolling if you would like to read it from the blog. 

The Video:



The written pattern:


Mary Jane Slippers

Finished Size: Women's Medium-Large. Size 7-10. They are very adaptable but if you need more or less length just keep crocheting the back of the slipper or stop early. 





Materials

One Ball Bernat Baby Blanket. I get the 300-gram ball to make 3 pair, but the small-sized ball will give you one pair of slippers


Stitch Legend (US Terms)
Ch - Chain
SS- Slip Stitch
HDC - Half Double Crochet
SC - Single Crochet
FO - Fasten Off
IncHDC - Increase Half Double Crochet (two Half Double Crochet in the same stitch)
DecHDC - Decrease Half Double Crochet (Yarn Over, Insert into next stitch, draw up a loop, Yarn Over, 
insert into the following stitch, draw up a loop, yarn over and pull through all five loops on your hook)
YO - Yarn Over


Pattern

Work 8 HDC into a Magic Circle SS into the first HDC of the row and Ch1
2-3
*1 HDC, IncHDC* Repeat * to * across. SS into the first HDC of the row and Ch1 (12, 18)
4
*1 HDC, 1 HDC, IncHDC* Repeat * to * across. SS into the first HDC of the row and Ch1 (24)
5-6

10
Chain 7, SS into the first HDC of the last row. Ch1 and turn. SC into the next 7 chains. HDC into the next 17 HDC.  (24)
11

15
Turn. HDC Across the next 13. Ch1 (13) 

Continue until the length of your foot is covered. This should be enough for a size 7-9 women's foot, though.  


16
Turn. HDC in the next 4 Stitches, Skip a Stitch. SS into the next 2 stitches. (4)
14
Turn. HDC Across. Ch1 (4)
15
Turn. HDC Across. SS into the chain 2 stitches beyond the last SS.  (4) 

Turn the slipper so the right sides are facing in and SS the 4 HDC of the row to the last 4 unworked HDC of row 15. 



This will form a slipper. But we need edging. We will now work a row along the top of
the slipper and strap. 
16
Ch1, and DecSC over the first two stitches. SC until the stitch before the strap begins.

DecSC over the next two stitches. SC in the next 5 stitches. DecSC.
SC until the last two stitches of the row. DecSC. 
15
Repeat Rows 1-16 for a second slipper. 

Wear and be cozy.
