If you would like to see any other Easter themed free appliques leave a comment and I will see what I can do.

Size - 4 inches by 3 inches.

Size can easily be adjusted by using a smaller yarn and hook.

Free Crochet Lacy Bolero

I wanted to make a bolero for my daughter for the cold mornings we have been having. They are not cold enough for a jersey but a lacy bolero is perfect. She was sleeping when I made it and sadly this turned out an inch to small but that just means I get to design another one and I already have an idea of what I would like to do.

Size 1

Front

Back

Ribbing

Materials:

•  DK yarn, I used Acrylic Super Yarn from Spotlight.
•  5.00 mm and 4 mm crochet hook
•  Tape measure
•  Scissors
• Yarn needle

DC V stitch – dc, ch1, dc in the same space.

Pattern:

Ch 41,

Row 1: dc in 4^th ch from the hook, *ch 1, skip next 3 ch’s, v stitch in next ch* across. End with a dc in the last two ch.

Row 2: Ch 1, turn. Sc in the same stitch as ch 1 and in the next st. * sc in next ch 1 space, (sc, ch 3, sc) in the next ch 1 space* across. End with a sc in each of the last 2 stitches

Row 3:  Ch 3, turn. Skip first st, dc in next st. *ch 1, v stitch in next ch 2 space) across. End with ch 1, dc in last 2 stitches.

Row 4 – 25: alternate rows 2-3.

Now to work ribbing:

Change to a 4 mm hook

Working along the long length

Row 1: Ch 1, dc evenly across. (32 dc)

Row 2: Ch 2, turn. *fpdc into next stitch, dc in next st* Repeat across. (32)

Row 3: Ch 2, turn. *dc in next st, bpdc in next st* Repeat across.

Row 4: Ch 1, (counts as first sc) *fpsc into next stitch, sc in next stitch* repeat across. Finish off.

With right side facing, and completed ribbing on bottom. Join yarn in the top right corner.

Row 1: Ch 1, dc evenly across. (32 dc)

Row 2: Ch 2, turn. *fpdc into next stitch, dc in next st* Repeat across. (32)

Row 3: Ch 2, turn. *dc in next st, bpdc in next st* Repeat across.

Row 4: Ch 1, (counts as first sc) *fpsc into next stitch, sc in next stitch* repeat across. Finish off.

Fold piece in half so ribbing is right side together. Sew ribbing ends on both sides.

Weave in all ends.

To adjust the size:

Length - The beginning ch is multiples of 4 + 9

Width- continue with alternating rows 2-3 of the v stitch pattern until you get the width you require.

Hair Swirls

I think these are just the cutest things and can't wait until my daughters hair is long enough so she can wear them. The are designed to tie around a pony tail.
