Crochet baktus free pattern01

In this new post I want to show you this baktus crocheted using the (3dc, ch1, 3 dc) shell stitch.

This is a fast and simple project that only uses 120 grs. of yarn. It also has the particularity that is an easy pattern to follow, since you crochet in a continuous way: each row begins  with a shell and ends with half a shell. To continue you just have to ch 6 and begin a new row.

Here you can see the written instructions:


Ch 199 (multiple of 8 + 7).

Rows:

1-Insert hook into the 7th ch from hook and crochet (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc), *ch 3, skip 7 ch, insert hook into the 8th ch and crochet (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc). Repeat from * until end, except in the last ch where you have to crochet 3 dc.

2-Ch 6, (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) into the ch 1 space of the pevious row. *(3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) in the next sp. Repeat from * until end, except in the last ch where you have to crochet 3 dc.

3 to 23-Repeat row 2.

24- Ch 6, (3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc) into the ch 1 space of the pevious row. Ch 6, sl st into the next ch 1 space of the previous row.

Edge:

1-Starting in the ch 6 sp of the 1st row of the body. Ch 1, 1 sc into the ch 6 sp, *ch 4, 1 sc into the ch 1 sp of the body, ch 4, 1 sc into the next ch 6 sp, ch 4, 1 sc into the same sp. Repeat from until end, except in corners, where you have to ch 6 instead of 4 (see chart bellow). Sl st into de 1st sc.

 2-Ch 1, (1 sc, 2 hdc, 1 sc) in each ch 4 sp of the previos row, except in corners, where you have to ch 3 before and then continue with (1 sc, 2 hdc, 1 sc). Sl st into de 1st sc.

Granny square slippers: Free pattern and tutorial

Granny square slippers

Granny square slippers

Over 20 years ago my grandmother gave me a pair of crocheted slippers that I wore until they broke old.

Luckily, instead of throwing them away, my mom kept one and gave it to me recently so I could use the pattern to crochet a pair for my daughters.

It is a very simple design, but with a beautiful result.

You only have to crochet 8 granny squares using the pattern and colour combination that you prefer (there are infinite combinations that you can do) and join them following a scheme. In the photos above you can see 2 versions, one for adults crocheted using a granny square pattern where the center is round; and one for children crocheted using the pattern of the classic granny square.

You can use single crochet stitch, slip stich or sew the squares to join them. The final result will be the same.

Here you can see the joining diagram:

The order to join the squares depends on what you prefer, you can start with the heel squares, the toe squares, in the sole. If you follow the diagram, the final result will be the same.

To make you easier to understand, here are a step by step with the order to join the squares that I found easier:

For those who prefer to follow a pattern:

To adjust the size, you only have to add more rounds to the square.

I hope you like it.
