SO. MUCH. CROCHET.

My aunt has started her own photography business so I've been hired to make her crochet photo props. Mostly for newborn babies and young children because she's a nurse on a maternity floor (as is my mom) and so she knows a lot of new moms.

Anyway, so I've been given permission to use some of the photos to use on my Etsy to sell the props. I've literally made probably over twenty props for her this week and I haven't had a pattern for any of them.

ALKFD;HSFGA MY FINGERS CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS

I finally got around to putting up an Etsy shop

If anyone's interested, you can find it here -> Wichecraft

I'll be selling completed crochet items, jewelry, all my nerdy creations, and other random things that I decide to post.

The money I make will go directly back into more yarn/crafting supplies, and also my University fund seeing as it costs an arm and a leg (and my soul).

AKGHFAH;ALK;DG JUST LET ME CROCHET YOU THINGS

Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen Inspired Girl On Fire Beanie

Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen inspired Girl On Fire Beanie

(also, I apologize in advance for the horrific pictures of me; it was a stay-in-bed-until-noon kind of day) 

REVISED *JULY 2013*

Inspired by Cinna’s many designs (I hope he’d be impressed)

6.00 and 5.50 hooks

Sensations Angel Hair yarn (I think the colour is called Berry?)

                This is more of a colour/yarn-specific pattern, so I highly recommend using the exact yarn

Using 6.00mm hook

Magic circle

1: ch 3, dc 11 in circle (12)

2: 2 dc in each st around (24)

3: *dc in next st, 2 dc in next st* around

4: *dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st* around

5: *dc in next 4 sts, 2 dc in next st* around (you’ll find that there won’t be enough stitches for the last few sts, so dc in next 2 sts, then 2 dc in next st)

6 -10: dc around

Switch to 5.50mm hook

11-14: *fphdc in next st, bphdc in next st* around

                To fasten off, skip a st and then slst

And there you have it!

(Not gonna lie, I’m really tempted to use it for part of a Katniss/Peeta Victory Tour cosplay and take pictures, except for the obvious fact that I’d need a Peeta . . .)

District 12 Inspired Headband

District 12 Inspired Headband

3.75mm

You know, I don’t even know what kinds of yarn I’m using half the time, so I can’t tell you . . .

2: *hdc, ch 2* 5 times (6 spaces) sl st to last st

3: ch 1, *dc, dc 2, tc 3, ch2, dc, sl st to hdc of previous row* in each space

                Fasten off

Leaves (make 2):

1: ch 10, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sl st, sl st, sc, hdc, dc, tc, dc, *hdc, sc, sc, sc, hdc* in final ch

2: (on opposite side) dc, tc, hd, sc, sl st

3: (to make the band) sc in next st, ch 66

                Fasten off

Attach the leaves between the petals on opposites side and voila! 

District 4 inspired Baby Hat

Perfect for your own little Finnick or Annie!

District 4 inspired Baby Hat

Size: 0-3mo

5.0m hook

Abbreviations:

mc - magic circle

ch - chain

R6-11: skip a st, 3 dc in next st around (you can change colour here)

R12: skip a st, hdc around

Fasten off

If you find the pattern is too small (I used a bamboo yarn that stretches a lot) you can add this between R3 and R4 -> *2 dc in next, one dc in next 2 sts* around

Mermaid Costume Pattern

Mermaid Costume Pattern

I made this costume for my cousin Brynn last Halloween.

NOTE: I put a lot of time into creating this so that I wouldn't have to pay for it, so I'd really appreciate if you didn't sell what you make from it. Personal use only, please!

Size H hook
Worsted weight yarn
       This makes a size 9-12 months approximately. If you're looking to make it smaller, try using baby yarn and a G hook. To make it bigger, chunkier yarn and an I or J hook.

Starfish Top:

Mc

R1: sc 5 times in mc, sl st to join (5)

R2: ch 1, 2 around, sl st to join (10)

R3: ch 1, sc in same st, dc, tr, dc in next st, *sc in next st, dc, tr, dc in next st* around, sl st to join

R4: ch 1, sc in same st, hdc in next st, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc in next st, hdc in next st, *sc in next st, hdc in next st, hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc in next st, hdc in next st* around, sl st to join

                Fasten off

Make four ties approximately 35 chains in length and attach them to your preference

Mermaid Tail:

(This is made by joining at the beginning of each row and ch 2 (this does NOT count as a stitch!). You can also try making it without joining it, but at the time that I made this pattern, I wasn't really comfortable with marking stitches, but have at 'er!)

Mc

R1: 12 dc in circle (12)

R2: Blo, dc 12 around (12)

R3-9: dc 12 round (12)

R10: dc 1 in next 3 st, dc 2 in next st* around (15)

R11: dc 1 in next 2 st, dc 2 in next st* around (20)

R12: Dc around (20)

R13: Dc 1 in next 2 st, dc 2 in next st* around (28)

R14-17: Dc around (28)

R18-19: Dc 1 in next 2 st, dc 2 in next st* around

                For optional increase, repeat R13 (48)

R20-45: dc around

R46-47: sc around

R48: sc in next 2 st, ch 1, skip a st, sc in next 2 st* around

R49-50: sc around

                Fasten off

Make a chain long enough to form a drawstring around the waist (you’ll weave this through the spaces in R48)

Fins (make 2):

Ch 23

R1: Dc across

R2: Ch 2, dc2tog, dc across

R3: Ch 2, dc across

R4: Ch 2, dc2tog, dc across

R5: Ch 2, dc across

R6: Ch 2, dc2tog, dc across

R7: ch 2, dc across

                Fasten off

If the fins are confusing, you can try using these:

You should only sew the fins together about three-quarters of the way

Fold the corners over and sew the corners to the end of the tail (sew around; make sure it's connected)

And there you have it!

For everyone who was waiting a really long time for this pattern, I'm sorry, but I didn't have access to the costume for the longest time so I couldn't try and write it down. 

This pattern hasn't been tested except for by me, so any feedback or revisions would be appreciated. If something's unclear, feel free to ask me about it. The beading and sequins wasn't done by me, it was done by my aunt.

Here's a tutorial on how to make the pom pom: http://www.kid-craft-central.com/pom-poms.html

Attach pom pom, ears and mouth to your preference.

Add black buttons for eyes using black thread.

For strings: using 12 long pieces of yarn, fold them in half, put the loop through the bottom of the ear flap, and pull the yarn through the loop. Braid.

Mustache Necklace Disguise

Mustache Necklace Pattern

Courtney Wiche

This is honestly probably the most simple pattern I have ever made, and I absolutely love it. It looks complicated (lord knows I had to unravel the thing at least ten times during the process) but it's fairly straight forward and totally worth it! You can literally make these for an army of hundreds in a matter of a few hours! (Not that that's what I'm doing . . . *coughMisha'sMinionscough*) I mean, what?

Ch. 12

R1 – sc, dc, 2 trc, hdc, slst, hdc, 2 trc, dc, sc

R2 – ch2, turn, slst in 2^nd ch from hook, sc till middle three stitches (slip stitch 3), sc til end, ch 2, slst in 2^nd from hook, fasten off.


For the chain, I just used a really fine yarn, the smallest hook I had (which was a 3.25mm, I think) and crocheted it until I could fit it over my ears and have it not fall off. I don't remember how many I ended up with, but I don't think that makes much difference, seeing as everyone's head is a different size anyways. And then I connected the ends to the back of the mustache, near the top. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to message me! (The messages make me feel as if people actually care)

I also wanted this just because of Gabriel's mustache . . . because reasons. 

Experimenting with Photoshop-like-programs

I've been trying to digitally colour some of my art for a long time, and I used to just commission other artists to do it, but I wanted to try by myself. I'm fairly happy with the results of it. :)

Me (also my first attempt at using photoshop)

If I ever met Jared Padalecki . . . 

Dean and Cas

^^^ This is a reference to therandomactorg.tumblr.com They are an AMAZING charity, if anyone would like to donate. :)

Again, sorry for the Supernatural references. I can't help it.

Supernatural has taken over my life

Seriously, though. Anything I do, I find a way to relate it to Supernatural.

Half of my art projects - fanart.

Half of my crochet - SPN related.

Half of my writing - fanfiction.

It's seriously a problem.

See? I made a Sam doll. Took me less than a day. I think I'm obsessed. I didn't have a pattern for the doll, and I didn't write it down while I was making him because I knew I would never make another one. Now I wish I'd written it down, because I really want to make a matching Dean . . .

As for the blanket, I've been working on it on and off for over 6 months. No pattern either.

Get me help.
