Simply Southern Crochet Hat Pattern is Now Available!

by 5 Comments

Finally!  All the pictures have been taken, the testers have approved the pattern and now it’s ready!  Simply Southern is another beautiful hat that you can make to STOP the traffic!Simply Southern summer hat pattern by ELK StudioThere is such an elegant look to the hat that I think it will may you feel exactly the same way.  Once again I used millinery wire in the brim of the hat to hold it in place.  No worrying about it flopping down into your eyes and you can shape the hat to your liking.

I would like to thank my model, Tiara, for coming out on a rainy day to take pictures.  The sun was in and out (mostly out) all day, but she was a trooper and we were able to capture some beautiful moments anyway!

If you are looking for some ideas for flowers, I’ve done some of the work for you.  I love Meli Bondre’s website.  She has so many beautiful flowers that I think would be lovely on Simply Southern.  You can also check out Teresa Richardson’s website, as the flower in the photo is one of her patterns modified.

I hope you enjoy making the pattern as much as I have designing it!  If you have any questions, please email me at elkstudiocrochet@gmail.com.

Cross Stitch Boot Cuff Pattern

             Cross Stitch Boot Cuff Cross Stitch Boot Cuff

This isn’t the boot cuff that I have had real issues with but, I did want to share this one too.  I hope you enjoy!  Please let me know if there are any issues or problems!  Constructive criticism is always welcomed.

UPDATE: 02/13/13
I am entering this pattern on “Hooking on Hump Day”. Here is the link:

Moogly

Supplies:

  1. I used I Love This Yarn medium (4) worsted weight.  The color I used was ivory.
  2. Crochet Hook Size – H
  3. Tapestry needle for weaving in the ends.

Abbreviations:

ch – chain

st – stitches

sc – single crochet

dc – double crochet

Gauge:  9 stitches and 3 Rows  = approximately 2 inches.

Top Portion of Boot Cuff (Updated 02-16-13) I added row 4.

Row 1:  Ch 11 turn

Row 2:  Sc in second ch from hook and in each ch across, ch 3 turn.  (10 st) (ch3 counts as first dc here and throughout)

Row 3:  skip 2nd sc ,dc in next st, dc in skipped sc, *skip next sc, dc in next sc, dc in skipped sc* across to last sc and dc in last sc.  Ch 1 turn (10 st)

Row 4:  sc in first st and across. ch 3 turn (10 st)

Repeat row 3 and 4 until the desired measurement ending with row 3 and fasten off leaving a long tail.

Join ends together using the long tail and take the side just fastened off using the tapestry needle to sew the front loop only of the stitch and the bottom loop of each sc on the first row.  Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Bottom Portion of Boot Cuff

Row 1:  Join to cuff by ch 1 and sc evenly around, sl st into first sc (not the ch 1).  (Hint)  You will later be decreasing stitches so be sure that your stitches will divide by 4 evenly then add two more sc.  (Example:  Sc 40 stitches plus 2=42 stitches around.)  42 will actually be a good number to use on the average size cuff.

Row 2:  ch 2, dc into next sc and around,  Sl st in top of ch 2 st.

Row 3:  ch 1 and sc in same sp, sc in next dc and around, sl st in first sc.

Row 4:  ch 2, dc into next sc and around,  Sl st in top of ch 2 st.

Row 5:  ch 1 and sc in same sp, sc in next dc and around, sl st in first sc.

Row 6:  ch 2, dc into next sc and around,  Sl st in top of ch 2 st.

Row 7:  ch 1 and sc in same space, sc in next 3 stitches, *skip next sc, sc in next 4 st*, repeat from * to * across, sl st in first sc.

Row 8:  ch 2 and hdc in sc and around, sl stitch in top of ch 2 st.

Row 9:  ch 1 and sc in same sp, sc in next hdc and around, sl stitch in first sc.  Fasten off and weave in ends.

Add buttons if desired.

I Had No Idea Boot Cuffs Were So Popular! Ripple Stitch Boot Cuff Pattern

by 84 Comments

When I started selling my crochet items early December, one of my relatives asked me if I would make her some boot cuffs!  Well, they have definitely been my best-selling item thus far!  I was really excited when a local salon and boutique, 2 Chic asked to buy 10 pair from me! I live in Auburn, Alabama which if you don’t know, is a college town and the latest trendy items are very important to these college girls.  Needless to say, I worked HOURS getting them done but loving every minute of it too.

After making a few for my customers, I finally got a chance to write the pattern for the ripple stitch pattern and wanted to share it with everyone else!  I hope you enjoy!  Please let me know if you catch any errors or have questions.  Constructive criticism is always welcomed.  It is the only way to get better!
