This is just a tutorial to show you how to make the clamshell pattern, which you can then go on to use for whatever project you like. Cushions, blankets in all shapes and sizes, bags, wraps or anything else you can think of.<br />So the choice of yarn, yardage, hook and size of the project depends on what you choose to make!<br />(If it helps, I used dk yarn and a 4mm (USA G hook) for this tutorial.)</div>

Then, make another slip stitch into the next stitch along.</div>

Now you need to make a half treble crochet into the next stitch. (That's the one where you yarn over, insert hook, yarn over and pull through, then yarn over once more and pull through all the loops on your hook. It's like a squashed treble!)</div>

Then make a half treble into the next stitch and then to finish this 'bump' make a slip stitch into the next 3 stitches. </div>

Now it's just a case of repeating what we've done so far. So, you'll need to make 1 half treble, 3 trebles, 1 half treble and then 3 slip stitches to make the next 'bump'.</div>

You should finish having just made 3 trebles and 1 half treble and then have 2 stitches left to work.</div>

Ok, now we come to the tricky part of this pattern. We're going to make the CLAMSHELL SPIKE, as I'm calling it! This is the part that makes those lovely points at the bottom of each shell.</div>

First of all, we need to skip over the first slip stitch and make a treble into the dc under the second slip stitch. (That's the dc of ROW TWO) Have a look at the picture (above left), you can see I've indicated where the hook is going to go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: 'Quattrocento Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">

Pull your yarn through as for a normal crochet stitch and pull it up slightly so it's clear of the lower row. (Above right)</div>

Then complete the treble stitch in the normal way. You can see in the picture (aove left) the stitch just looks a little longer than normal.</div>

Now we need to make a second treble. This one is going to go into the same place, but just one row lower. See where my silver hook is pointing in the picture (above right)? </div>

As before, pull your yarn through as for a normal treble stitch, but just pull it up a little further so it's clear of those rows below and then finish the treble stitch like normal.</div>

The last stich of the CLAMSHELL SPIKE now, but it's the trickiest. We're going to put this treble stitch into exactly the same place that the first one went. You'll just need to move the treble you just made slightly out of the way to get into that stitch again. I've popped my silver hook in again to show you where we're going to go. (Above right)</div>

When you push your hook in to make the stitch, you'll also want to make sure that you're not getting caught up in the treble stitches at the back. See the picture (above left) taken from the back, see how I've made sure those other stitches are on the right-hand side of my hook? If you're not careful the hook goes into the middle of those stitches and you don't want that, it'd look all wrong!</div>

I know this part sounds a bit faffy and fiddly, and I grant you it <i>is</i> a bit for the first couple of stitches. But, I promise you, after you've got used to it and done a row or so, it won't be a problem. </div>

Okay, after you have your hook in the right place and have completed this third treble, you should have something that looks like this (above right). A nice pointy CLAMSHELL SPIKE!</div>

Now we need to make 1 half treble. So skip the last slip stitch and make the half treble into the half treble of the row below.</div>

If you need to, scroll up and follow through those instructions again to make the spike. Then work, 1 half treble, 3 double crochets, 1 half treble again. Repeat this along the row until you get to the last two stitches.</div>

ROW EIGHT<br /><br />Turn the work, chain 1 and make a dc into each stitch along the row.<br /><br />Now you have all the information you need to create the pattern. So to make more rows of the pattern all you need to do, is scroll back up to ROW THREE and repeat the instructions from that point onwards to continue making pattern repeats. Until the blanket or whatever it is you are making is the length you'd like it to be.<br /><br />In the picture (above right) I've completed ROW THREE to make finish off the bumps in the turquoise colour, and then followed the instructions for ROW FOUR AND FIVE to start my next lot of clamshells.<br /><br />When you have the length that you want, I'd recommend that you end on either a ROW FIVE or a ROW EIGHT, so you that you finish with a nice straight edge.</div>

The Apiary Puff<br />
By: Valerie Lawson 2011<br />

Tapestry needle for weaving in ends<br />
Fiberfill/Scrap yarn/ Stuffing of your choice<br />

Special stitches: sc2tog – insert hook, yo and draw up a loop, insert hook into next stitch, yo and draw up a loop, yo and draw through all 3 loops.<br />
<br />

Rnd 11: sc around (42 sc)<br />
(Begin decrease rounds)<br />
Rnd 12: Sc in marked stitch. sc2tog. Sc across to last 2 before marker. Sc2tog. Sc in marked stitch. sc2tog. Sc across to last 2 before marker. Sc2tog. (38 sc)<br />
Rnd 13: sc around<br />
Rnds 14-20: Repeat rows 11 and 12. (Decreasing 4 stitches on every other round)<br />
<br />
Fasten off, leaving a long enough tail for sewing the top together.<br />
Stuff your puff! Make it as flat or fluffy as you want.<br />
Slip stitch or sew the top of the puff together. Take care to leave the top flat and even with the bottom (in order to keep the shape consistent). Weave in ends.<br />
Enjoy the squishy puffy goodness!dacjjchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02054875005587762992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172463475260022915.post-10391897261344426512014-03-11T11:59:00.000-07:002014-03-11T11:59:40.438-07:00<h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0.25em 0px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 4px;">

(If you have trouble with row 23, here’s another way of explaining the instructions there: First you have (1shell in next shell, ch5, [2dc, ch3, 2dc] in next shell, ch5) x4 so this gives you 4 normal shells and 4 [2dc, ch3, 2dc] shells - 8 in total. Then there’s another shell after the last ch5 - so 9 in total. Then ch4 and again the [2dc, ch3, 2dc shell] - 10 in total. Then again ch4 and normal shell - 11 in total. Next one is the center shell.)<br />

<li>1-(10m) spool Kreinik 091 Star Yellow in Medium #16 braid</li>
<li>1-(10m) spool Kreinik 3506 Blue Samba in Medium #16 Braid</li>
<li>Size 1 steel crochet hook (or size needed to obtain gauge for apples)</li>
<li>Sewing needle with eye large enough to allow the Braid to pass through</li>
</ul>
Finished size: 2” wide by 10” long<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Instructions:</span><br />
Key: ch = chain, sc = single crochet, sk = skip, hdc = half double crochet, st = stitch, sl (or sl st) = slip stitch, tog = together, dc = double crochet, lp = loop, trc = triple crochet<br />
<br />
NOTE: It is critical that eggs are 2” wide at widest point when finished as this will ensure that you have enough thread to complete project as you will use nearly all thread specified.<br />
<br />
EGGS: (make 1 green, 1 blue, 1 yellow)<br />
Row 1: Ch 4, 7 trc in 4th ch from hook, ch 2, turn. (8 trc)<br />
Row 2: Sk first trc, sc in next trc, (ch 2, sk next trc, sc in next trc) 2 times, ch 2, sc in top of ch-4 of previous row, ch 3, turn. (4 loops)<br />
Row 3: Sc in first ch-2 sp (ch 3, sc in next ch-2 lp) 3 times, ch 3, sc in turning ch of previous row, ch 3, turn. (5 lps)<br />
Row 4: Sc in first lp, (ch 3, sc in next lp) 4 times, ch 3, turn. (5 lps)<br />
Row 5: Rep Row 4, ch 1, turn. (5 lps)<br />
Row 6: (2 sc in next lp, sc in next sc) across, ending with-2 sc in last lp, ch 4, turn. (14 sc)<br />
Row 7: (Trc next 2 sts tog) 2 times, trc in each of next 5 sc, (trc next 2 sts tog)) 2 times, ch 1, turn. (9 trc)<br />
Row 8: (Sc next 3 sts tog) 3 times, ch 1, turn. (3 sc)<br />
Row 9: Sc last 3 sts tog, fasten off. (1 sc)<br />
<br />
BOW: With blue, ch 30, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Fasten off<br />
TAILS: With blue, ch 25, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Fasten off.<br />
MIDDLE TAIL: With green, ch 15, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Fasten off.<br />
<br />
FINISHING: Press eggs and bow and tail pieces with warm steam iron placing cloth between iron and crochet pieces. With sewing needle and matching color crochet thread, attach eggs to each other using photo as guide for placement. With strand of blue crochet thread, fold bow piece in half and wrap thread around center of bow several times, secure to top of egg with needle and weave in ends so as not to show from back side. Fold blue tail piece in half, place green middle tail piece in center of fold, and secure both pieces to bottom of egg using sewing needle and weaving in ends so as not to show from back side. Press entire piece again if desired.</td></tr>

March Around Jericho, 6” Square<br />
H hook<br />
Stitches:<br />
Ch: chain<br />
dc : double crochet tr : treble sk: skip yo: yarn over sp(s): spaces<br />
Special Stitches:<br />
Puff Stitch: YO, insert hook in st, YO, pull loop through and bring up even with st, (YO, insert hk in same st, YO, pull loop through) 3 times (9 loops on hook), YO and draw through all loops on hook, ch 1 to lock. (You will be doing the (yo, pull up a loop) a total of 4 times to get the 9 loops)<br />
Pattern: Ch 4, sl st to beginning ch to form a ring. Rnd 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc now and throughout), 11 dc into ring, join with a sl st to top of beginning ch-3. (12 dc) Rnd 2 : Ch 3, dc in same st, 2 dc in each st around, join with a sl st in begging ch-3. (24 dc) Rnd 3 : (Ch 3, dc, ch 1, 2 dc) all in the same st, *dc in next 5 sts, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in next st,* repeat from * to * 2 more times, dc in next 5 sts, join with a sl st to top of beginning ch-3. (36 dc and 4 ch-1 sps) Rnd 4 : Sl st in next st, ch 3, *(tr, ch 2, tr) in ch-1 sp, dc in next st,** ( ch 1, sk next st, dc in next st) four times,* repeat from * to * 3 more times ending at ** on third repeat, then (ch 1, sk next st, dc in next st) 3 times, ch 1, join with a sl st to top of beginning ch-3. (8 tr, 4 ch-2 sps, 20 dc, 16 ch-1 sps) Rnd 5 : Sl st into tr, and into ch-2 sp,(ch 3, 2 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in ch-2 sp, *sk next 2 sts, place 2 dc in each of next 4 ch-1 sps, sk last 2 sts,** corner as (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in ch-2 sp,* repeat from * to * 3 more times ending at ** on third repeat, join with a sl st to top of beginning ch-3. (56 dc and 4 ch-1 sps) Rnd 6 : Ch 3, dc in next 2 sts, *( ch 1, puff, ch 1) in ch-1 sp, dc in next 14 sts,* repeat from * to * 2 more times, (ch 1, puff, ch 1) in ch-1 sp, dc in next 11 sts, join with sl st to top of beginning ch-3. (56 dc, 4 puffs, 8 ch-1 sps) Rnd 7 : Ch 1, sc in same st, sc in next 2 sts, *sc in ch-1 sp, 3 sc in top of puff, sc in ch-1 sp, sc in next 14 sts,* repeat from * to * 2 more times, sc in ch-1 sp, 3 sc in top of puff, sc in ch-1 sp, sc in next 11 sts, join with sl st to beginning sc.

<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Materials:</i></b>Red Heart yarn in your choice of colors<br />
5.0 mm hook (you can use any size hook, as different sizes will produce different results)<br />
embroidery needle</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Notes:</i></b>Keep in mind that different colors are slightly different in thickness and will produce different results, if you want a really tiny flower use a light color (which tends to be thinner) and as small hook, 4.0mm works well.<br />
The final look will also be determined by how tightly or loosely you wind up the flower and secure</div>

<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Skip first space and sc into second space from hook, * ch1 (skipping a space) and sc into next space. Repeat from* till end. This will give you 8 holes or spaces Figure B and Figure C</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Turn, into the first three spaces crochet 3sc and 1sl st giving you 3 petals</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Into the next 4 spaces crochet 3hdc and 1sl st giving you 4 more petals</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Into the last space (the very tip) crochet 1hdc, 2sc and 1sl st. Fasten off leaving short tail (approx. 4-6”) Figure D</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Insert long tail into embroidery needle and begin to wind up petals to create the rosette. Stitch together at the bottom as you go along. I recommend stitching after your first three petals are rounded and then for every additional petal placement so that you can control exactly what your flower will look like. Figure E1 & E2</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Secure with knot when done and leave tails to secure to finished piece. I use both tails to secure and tie them together and then use the long tail to tack the rosette into place. Weave in ends and cut short when done. Figure F</li>

<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
This crochet flower in a heart is great for adding to any finished product, baby blanket, hat, scarf and makes a great Valentine’s Day pin. Instructions for making into a pin are at the bottom of the pattern. Also makes a great Valentine’s Day decoration when used as bunting.</div>
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
I am proud to say that this heart (according to my testers) is different than the other heart patterns out there and is a unique design that gives great results. There are many possible variations with this pattern. Be sure to play around and see what you come up with.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
Start with a 12” long tail (long tail not needed if you are using heart for bunting or for a pin)</div>
<ol style="margin: 0px 0px 1.571em 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Mc/r with 5sc, join round with sl st</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In front loops ONLY sc around increasing in every sp for 10sc</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In back loops (be sure to crochet in back loops of the 1st round and not in the back loops of the 2<sup style="line-height: 0.786em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">nd</sup> round you just crocheted), sc around increasing in every sp for 10sc</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In front loops only of the second round, hdc around increasing in every sp for 20hdc</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In back loops of second round (again not the 3<sup style="line-height: 0.786em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">rd</sup> round that you just crocheted) sc around increasing in every sp for 20sc</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In front loops only of third round, dc around increasing in every other sp for 30dc</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In back loops of the third round, sc around as follows (each space is separated by a comma)</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">&</b> 1hdc, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1sl st, 1sl st, 1 sl st, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1hdc <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">&</b> 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1hdc, 1dc, 1hdc, join round with sl st</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In both loops crochet around as follows (each space is separated by a comma) 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 2sc, 1sc <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">&</b> 1hdc, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1sl st, SKIP 1, 1sl st, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1hdc <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">&</b>1sc, 2sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1sc, 1hdc, 2dc, 1hdc, join round with sl st</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Fasten off and weave in end. Secure center tail and leave long for fastening to finished piece (or weave in if using heart for bunting) I recommend using my<a href="http://cre8tioncrochet.com/2013/01/the-invisible-finish/" style="color: #ff3d7f; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank" title="invisible finish"> invisible finish</a> method for a professional look.</li>
</ol>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
*For added stability and finished look one row of sl st can be placed around heart, either in same color or in a different color.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
I prefer the way it looks when the sl st is placed in the back loops only. However if you use this method you should sl st in both loops at the center (indent) part of the heart and do a sc instead at the tip (point) of the heart.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="I LOVE these hearts!!!!!" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5368" height="402" src="http://www.cre8tioncrochet.com/wp-content/plugins/php-image-cache/image.php?path=/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/I-LOVE-these-hearts-402x402.jpg" style="clear: both; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto 1.571em; padding: 0px;" width="402" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
Two toned and all one color both with sl st crochet around edges in back loops only</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.571em; padding: 0px;">
I hope you enjoyed this free crochet flower in a heart pattern. For different variations you can do sc’s only in the “flower” portion of the heart, making more of a spiral than a flower as seen here.</div>

As is, it would make a great embelishment or decoraction on clothes, bags etc or just a little pretty to hang on her granny-mobile (walker with wheels).
