I am trying a lot of different and (for me) new crochet pattern. I am not allowing myself too much time for this but it is quite nice while having some coffee with friends :)
This one was made with two threads (50g / 150 m) at once with a crochet hook size 6 mm (german). I just played around with this "bubble" pattern. It creates a really sturdy kind of scarf (which I like). If I am doing this again I would probably just make it not so wide.... and a little bit longer (just a few cm, but I run out of yarn ^^).
But long as it is you can also wear it like this :)
The buttons are stiched on the side so it'll create some kind of triangle when closed.
The buttons are made out of fimo (polymer clay). I stamped the dark brown fimo with a wooden fabric stamp and made little holes in the middle with a knitting needle. After baking the buttons I used metallic acrylic paint for the surfaced (Yes, I just applied it with my fingertips ^^)
The buttons without the paint...
This is so cute! <3 You're really good at that. I wish I would put some more time into my knitting skills and learn some fancy patterns as well.
AntwortenLöschenYou know, if you don't mind I think I'd simply love a crocheted, coarse-meshed triangle-shawl <3
By the way, I went looking for the fabric I used for the axolotl, but it's not available anymore, so I'm afraid we'll really have to look together since it would be a shame if I'd choose a fabric you might not like quite so well :)
So gorgeous! The patterned buttons complement the bubbly scarf so well. Love it much!
AntwortenLöschenI agree! A very pretty scarf and I love your hand made buttons. I must try making some out of FIMO one day once I've become sick of recycling. :) Did I know you crocheted? Hmmm... I think this may be your first crochet piece that I've seen. Yet another craft in common, Claire!

By the way... the buttons are really easy to make!
AntwortenLöschen@decembersong: Deal :)
Is there no end to what you can do? The buttons are ace, but the scarf even tops them. Whow...
