Extreme Crochet Super Stars Tutorial

October 23, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd

Learn how to take ordinary star patterns and make them extreme.

Using the Super Star Patterns as shown on this video, I have converted them into super extreme stars with just changing my hook. Learn how I did it here.

I kid you not, the super star I am holding up is only 4 Revolutions. It is that fast to get to those sizes.

In this tutorial I will show you how to extreme your stars. I give you links inside the video to take the 5 Point Star, 6 Point Star and 10 Point Star Patterns and convert them to Super Stars in a snap.

Changing your hook to P Size and increase how much yarn you use will instantly change virtually any pattern you may have.

Mosaic Christmas Tree Skirt

October 4, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd

Bernat Mosaic Yarn Christmas Tree Skirt
 
New video tutorial coming up. How to crochet your own Christmas Tree Skirt. 

Coming up shortly will be a new tutorial featuring this Bernat Mosaic Christmas Tree Skirt. If you want to follow a standard 6 Point Star Tutorial, you can do so. The difference between the 6 Pointed Star and this tutorial is that I have left a large hole in the center of the skirt to slip the articifial tree pole through it.

Some people may complain that a slit is more convenient, but usually my cats like to fiddle with the slit area and eventually crawl under it. Having no slit removes the curiousity and makes less hassle for me. My skirt here has to be slid onto the pole before inserting it into the base of the tree holder. Sounds a bit convenient but I prefer it that way. See this preview if you are interested in refreshing your skirt to something new.

There are 5 balls of Bernat Mosaic Yarn here. 2 Pyschedelic, 2 Balls Optomistic, and 1 Ball Calypso put into the star in that exact order. I put a couple lines of white to break up the colours but they are not put in where the balls stop and start. I strategically put them in ton Round 5 and Round 10. I circled the entire star at the end with a round of white done in triple crochet.

The Cutest Crochet for Summer

I do enjoy crafting everything from scrapbooks to home-made cards, but crochet and knitting are usually way over my head. I never used to understand why they were so popular, and I figured that crochet especially was much too complicated for me. After I found this Ribbon and Pearl Necklace Tutorial from Happy Together my […]
