Four-leaf clover for luck - FREE PATTERN

Four-leaf clover for luck. I made this little clovers as a house warming gift for my friend. They are very cute and little and filled with positive thoughts and good energy and the most important: You don't have to water them :)

The whole project was inspired by this movie:

so Thank You Bag-O-Day Crochet for this wonderful movie. Please watch it to see detailed instructions on how to make the upper clovers.

Materials:

• brown, lighter green, darker green yarn ( I use the yarn which gauge is 24.0 to 30.0 sts = 4 inches )
• cotton wool or some other stuffing (I used green foam for this project, You can see it on the photos)
• black beads  ( 4 mm would be best)
• hook 3 mm 
• small flower pot
• small wire
• hot glue - to glue the ground to the pot.

Crochet buttons

 

Collection of crochet buttons. Owls, bear, zombie rabbit, pirate rabbit, my neighbor totoro, hedgehog, basically anything that came to my head before I ran out of buttons. It all started when I bought a pack of DIY buttons, they look like this:

I think the fought is to put any material You want on the front side, squeeze with the back side and voila You have Your DIY button ready.  I am not too good at following instructions so I though I would make the crochet buttons instead.... 

My favourite ones are brown bear and brown owl, weird cause I don't like the color :P I use the brown bear not as a button but as a brooch.

 

  

I also love the three little bunnies: pirate, zombie and skeleton

 Other buttons I've made:

Cowl - winter collection

Cowl collection I have made this winter for my friends and family.  As You already know I am sewing now from quite some time, my husband bought me my first sewing machine and since then I am torn between sewing, crocheting and my other activities.  I have million ideas per second and I am so proud this one - the cowl project came to life.

Cowls are made from tweed wool or cotton fabric outside and very soft fleece inside. Black border is made from vegan leather. For closing my cowls I used big buttons or snap fasteners.

The cowl is very elegant and modern looking. I am wearing one of them ( the bottom one one the upper picture is mine) and I am very pleased with it. I am wearing it on top of my black coat and it looks super elegant.

After Christmas time I made final three cowls which are now on sale in my shop. If You are interested please visit the below links. If You have any questions please contact me via etsy shop or email: krawka.blog@gmail.com

BAT

He is cute but deadly - just like my husband for whom I have made him :) It was kind of free form work so no pattern, if someone is extremely interested to make one I probably can remake him someday. He was suppose to be a missing zipper, but is a bit too large for that, so he ended up as another children's toy - but If I would have at least one elegant jacket that is not black I would make a brooch of him - or maybe I am looking at it all wrong I should make a brooch and have an excuse to buy myself a jacket or two...

Puff Quilt - mini tutorial

 

Have You ever tried quilting and even puff quilting? Let me tell You - it's fun. My favourite thing in this kind of work is You need to be focused when You are starting, but later on You will work on autopilot ( DO I have to tell You can watch Your favourite tv show when on autopilot...)

I have made my first puff quilt project this December. I made four chair cushions for my Mom as a gift. As I have said before the first one was a challenge, the next ones was pure fun with Vikings or Elementary I don't remember exactly...

First thing You need to do when making a puff quilt is cutting Your material to squares. I made the quilt with two different patterned materials - dotted and stripped. The other material is only used on the back of quilt and it will not be seen, so You can use the material You hate, as I did :)
