It’s a party in the USA! Zoe and I are ready for all the 4th of July festivities with matching Red, White, and Blue Crochet Crop Tops! This is the same pattern as I posted a few weeks ago (FIND IT HERE) but I just switched up the colors. I also increased the the stitch count on my top so it was an adult size Small. Pattern notes below.

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Cherry Red, White, and Blue. Shop these perfectly patriotic colors on Yarnspirations.com!
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry needle

Get the original Granny Stitch Top pattern HERE (kids size)

I have figured out that the way to increase your starting chain is to make sure the count is divisible by 3. So I started with a chain of 90 for my adult size small top. Add or subtract multiples of 3 to that number to get your desired size. I originally started with a chain of 102 for myself thinking that would be a good fit but it was way too big for me. So once you get your starting chain, then you add your rounds of granny stitches. I did 5 rounds of blue (you work from the bottom up), then 5 rounds of white, and then 5 rows of red. I left a 6 granny stitch space on either side for the armholes and chained 35 for each strap.

If you make this top for yourself, please let us know the stitch count in the comments! We can all join together to become testers since we are all different sizes!

Crochet Granny Stitch Top Size Small:
starting with blue
Chain 90 and join to first chain to make a circle, chain 3 + 2 DC all in first chain (this makes you first granny stitch cluster), skip two stitches, 3 DC in next, skip two stitches, 3 DC in next, repeat around and join to your first stitch (the top of the chain 3). You should have 30 granny stitch clusters
Round 2-5: slip stitch over so you are working in the first space between the granny clusters, make a chain 3 + 2 DC, make 3 DC in the next space, and repeat around making 3 DC in all the spaces, join to the first chain 3 stitch. (30 granny stitch clusters)
Round 6-10: fasten off blue yarn and join in white yarn to the first space between the granny clusters, make a chain 3 + 2 DC, make 3 DC in the next space, and repeat around making 3 DC in all the spaces, join to the first chain 3 stitch. (30 granny stitch clusters)
fasten off white yarn after round 10
Row 11: Lay your piece flat. You will want join in your red yarn and make 10 granny stitch clusters along the front (still working in those spaces between the granny clusters from previous row), chain 1 and turn.
Row 12-15: slip stitch over so you are working in the first space between the granny stitch clusters, granny stitch clusters until you reach the last space, chain 1, turn
You should have 6 granny stitches along the top at the end of row 15.
Now turn the top over and do the same on the backside (repeating rows 11-15). You should have 6 granny stitch clusters on either side of the top that will be the armpits.
Weave in ends!

Now lets make the straps:
Starting at the top corner of the front of the top, join in red yarn and SC along armpit of top, when you get around the armpit and to the top corner of the back of the top, chain 30 and join to the top corner where you started. fasten off.
Do this on the other top corners/armpit area of the tank.
Refer to the original post HERE for pictures of what this should look like

Now for the ribbing! I am using a really easy technique by Daisy Farm Crafts called the Back Loop Single Crochet Ribbed Border. I LOVE the way she does this ribbing on her blankets because it works right along the edge and you don’t need to sew any pieces together. Below is a very easy video tutorial for the DFC YouTube Page. Although she is showing you how to do it on a blanket, you apply the same technique to the edges of this tank top! For the bottom of the tank top I attached my blue yarn and did the exact same stitch count as Tiffany from Daisy Farm Crafts. So the ribbing along the bottom is a total of 7 SC long. For the top of the tank top, I joined in my pink yarn at the top and made a chain 4 which means my ribbing is 3 SC in length. You will work along the top edges of the tank top and continue along the chain straps. It will be one big circle of ribbing. Do not work ribbing along the armpit spaces.

Happy 4th of July from State 48!

Hey! It’s my Birthday!!! I’ve designed a bonus birthday gnome to celebrate! You can use this gnome as replacement for your birthday month or a family/friends birthday in the blanket or just use this gnome on it’s own. As always, I am including a boy and girl option with either the cute cupcake on the tummy or up on the hat. Please feel free to choose your own colors and mix and match the designs. The striped hat has a lot of color changes so you might want to stick with a solid color. I used brown hair for my girl to match my own brown hair so you can customize your gnome to fit the birthday person!

I am making little french knots for the sprinkles on the cupcake and it works perfectly! I have a very short YouTube Tutorial below on how to make a french knot.

If you aren’t familiar with the gnome project, head over to the THIS Gnome Landing Page Post! It gives all the details of what this fun year-long project is all about and will answer your questions about Corner-to-Corner Crochet!

Birthday Gnome Materials:

The popcorn stitch birthday gnome will be coming soon from Diane of Stitch Therapy!

And a very happy birthday to everyone else who is celebrating a birthday in the month of June!

It feels like summer! I found these yummy colors that remind me of sherbet ice cream in the Red Heart with Love line of yarn and couldn’t wait to make something summer-y with them. With the popularity of the granny shorts I (somewhat jokingly) make my Husband a few years ago, I thought I would use the same stitch to make something for the ladies. I am going to work on multiple sizes but for now I just have this child size version and will add some notes about increasing stitches until I have the adult version posted.

Zoe wears a girls size 8 and this top fits her perfectly. She actually has some room to grow. It’s made to be a crop top (although you could definitely make it longer). The yarn has stretch so I’m sure this could fit a variety of kids.

Materials:
Red Heart with Love Yarn in colors: Bubblegum, Blushing Peach, Minty, and Blush (this is the name of the purple color). You will only need one skein of each.
Shop colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
Size: The dimensions when laid flat are 13 inches wide x 9 inches tall (not including straps)

Crochet Granny Stitch Tank Top Pattern:
starting with bubblegum pink
Chain 75 and join to first chain to make a circle, chain 3 + 2 DC all in first chain (this makes you first granny stitch cluster), skip two stitches, 3 DC in next, skip two stitches, 3 DC in next, repeat around and join to your first stitch (the top of the chain 3). You should have 25 granny stitch clusters
Row 2: join in peach yarn to the first space between the granny clusters and make a chain 3 + 2 DC, make 3 DC in the next space, and repeat around making 3 DC in all the spaces, join to the first chain 3 stitch.
Row 3: join in minty green yarn and repeat row 2
Row 4: join in purple yarn and repeat row 2
Row 5-8: repeat row 2 alternating the colors (pink, peach, minty, purple)
Feel free to continue alternating rows of color to make tank top longer.
Row 9: Lay your piece flat. You will want to make 10 granny stitch clusters along the front with pink yarn (still working in those spaces between the granny clusters from previous row), fasten off.
Row 10: now with peach, join in the first space between the stitches from previous row (working right to left works best). Make 9 granny stitch clusters, fasten off.
Row 11: with minty minty yarn, join in the first space and make 8 granny stitch clusters, fasten off.
Row 12: with purple, join the first space and make 7 granny stitch clusters, fasten off.
Row 13: with pink join in the first space and make 6 granny stitch clusters, fasten off.
Now turn the top over and do the same on the backside, repeating rows 9-13 but you will start with 11 granny stitch clusters and go down from there. You should have 3 granny stitch clusters on either side of the top that will be the armpits.
Weave in ends!

Now lets make the straps:
Starting at the top corner of the front of the top, join in pink and SC along armpit of top, when you get around the armpit and to the top corner of the back of the top, chain 30 and join to the top corner where you started. fasten off.
Do this on the other top corners/armpit area of the tank.
It should now look like the picture below:

Now for the ribbing! I am using a really easy technique by Daisy Farm Crafts called the Back Loop Single Crochet Ribbed Border. I LOVE the way she does this ribbing on her blankets because it works right along the edge and you don’t need to sew any pieces together. Below is a very easy video tutorial for the DFC YouTube Page. Although she is showing you how to do it on a blanket, you apply the same technique to the edges of this tank top! For the bottom of the tank top I attached my pink yarn and did the exact same stitch count as Tiffany from Daisy Farm Crafts. So the ribbing along the bottom is a total of 7 SC long. For the top of the tank top, I joined in my pink yarn at the top and made a chain 4 which means my ribbing is 3 SC in length. You will work along the top edges of the tank top and continue along the chain straps. It will be one big circle of ribbing. Do not work ribbing along the armpit spaces.
NOTE: I added on my ribbing after I had finished a few rows of the tank top because I wanted to see if it was going to work before I got too far. So you can go ahead and add yours at the end or whenever you prefer!

I do recommend wearing a sports bra or fitted tank under this top because you can see through the stitches. It is supposed to be light and airy!

So how can we adjust sizing to make this bigger? Well…. you can always go up or down a few hook sizes to adjust size. I believe you can also increase the starting chain count by 25 (multiples of 25)… but then you will have to adjust the number of granny stitch clusters you make when you get to Row 9. I will play around with it and figure out some sizing options for you! Stay tuned!

It’s the year of the gnomes! This post will be a landing page for the monthly gnomes with links that take you to each individual tutorial. I will continue to update this post until the end of the year. It’s one spot for you to be able to easily find all the gnomes! Not sure what this gnome project is all about? Let me explain! Jennifer from Day by Day Clay and Crochet and I have teamed up for a HUGE year-long project! Each month Jen creates a Gnome Polymer Clay Crochet Hook and I create a matching Gnome Corner-to-Corner Crochet panel. We are focusing on holiday and seasonal gnome designs. The pixel graph and how-to for the crochet portion of the collab will be right here on Repeat Crafter Me and you can purchase the coordinating clay hook from Jen on her Facebook page “Day by Day Clay and Crochet Group!

The 12 months of Gnomes will be stitched together at the end of the year to make a big blanket!
I am using yarns from the Red Heart brand (Mostly Red Heart Super Saver) and you can find the materials and color lists in each individual gnome pattern post (links below)
Shop all colors on Yarnspirations.com

Be sure to share your gnome projects on social media using the hashtag #2022gnomeproject

If you are new to the Corner-to-Corner Crochet technique, let me explain a little bit about it as well. C2C lets you turn almost any image into a pixel graph and then from a pixel graph into a crocheted piece! The Corner-to-Corner technique basically means the you start in one corner (the lower right hand is most common place to start) and crochet diagonally in rows until you get to the other corner. You follow the pixel graph to create the color changes that make up the picture of the gnome. One pixel square = a chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. Please note that I am using HDC stitches for the C2C instead of DC.
Below is a Corner-to-Corner Video Tutorial using a part of my May Gnome graph.

Jennifer Freeman of “My Beautiful Disasters” (Find her HERE on FB!) has been writing out the C2C written pattern for each month. You can find links to her written patterns within each individual gnome post (links below)

Diane of Stitch Therapy is making the gnomes using the POPCORN STITCH! I love the way her gnomes are turning out and you can also find her Popcorn Stitch written patterns within each individual gnome post (links below)

Still not comfortable with the idea of Corner-to-Corner Crochet? Don’t worry, you can use single crochet stitches and crochet each gnome as a graphgan.
SpurView Goods has been uploading the SC written patterns HERE

In addition, I’ve seen so many other creative ways to use these gnome pixel graphs. I’ve seen cross stitch versions of the gnomes, perler bead versions, plastic canvas, knitted, and more! Be sure to search the hashtag #2022gnomeproject on social media so you can see them all!

Happy June! Since it’s strawberry season, we thought strawberries would be the perfect theme for this months gnome! The hat is designed as an upside down strawberry with the leafy green brim. There are several ways you can make the seeds. I am providing a few different graphs and will talk all about them below. This is the 6th gnome in our 2022 Gnome Project which means we are halfway through the year! If you are new to the gnomes, Jen from Day by Day Clay and Crochet Group and I have team up for a very fun YEAR-LONG collaboration! Each month Jen will create a Gnome Polymer Clay Crochet Hook and I will create a matching Gnome Corner-to-Corner Crochet block. Our designs will be holiday and seasonal themed so for the month of January we made a Winter Gnome, February we created a sweet Valentine Gal Gnome, March we have a Leprechaun, April is an Easter Bunny, May sports a sweet spring Tulip Flower, and June is Strawberries!

At the end of the 12 months I will be stitching the gnomes together to make a large blanket! The blanket panels will sit 4 across so this June panel will sit under our valentine gnome.

Below is a sneak peek picture of Jen’s June Gnome polymer clay tulip cane! Jen makes the hooks (and posts them for sale in Day by Day Clay and Crochet Group) and I make the crochet patterns (which are posted for free here each month)! I love hooks with polymer clay handles because not only are the designs fun, festive, and cute, but they create an ergonomic handle which helps to ease pain and tension caused by the motions of crochet. Read more about these crochet hooks HERE.

I’m using colors from our previous designs so hopefully you have many of these yarns on hand. You will need these colors from the Red Heart Super Saver line: Cherry Red, Lemon Yellow, Spring Green, and Orchid (or whatever color you used for the Bunny Gnome hat). Of course feel free to get creative and use whatever yarn colors you like!

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Cherry Red, Lemon Yellow, Spring Green, Orchid, White
– You probably won’t need more than one skein of taupe brown for the gnome nose. Use the same skein for all 12 or change it up and use any color of your choice for the nose! Feel free to choose your own hair color as well. Change it up or use white for the beard/braids.
– Size H Crochet Hook
-Tapestry needle
– Pixel Graphs

I have a few options for you! You can crochet the seeds right into the C2C but beware that they will be square. The graph with the yellow seed squares will probably look best if you are using the popcorn stitch instead of corner to corner crochet. I suggest using the graph with the solid red hat and then stitching on the seeds afterwards. I am also providing a graph with a small strawberry if you prefer. You will also need to stitch on the seeds at the end. And of course I am also giving you boy and girl gnome options!

Finished Size of the Gnome Crochet Rectangle: 20 inches tall x 14 inches wide

Corner-to-Corner Crochet lets you turn almost any image into a pixel graph and then from a pixel graph into a crocheted piece! The Corner-to-Corner technique basically means the you start in one corner (the lower right hand is most common place to start) and crochet diagonally in rows until you get to the other corner. You follow the pixel graph to create the color changes that make up the picture of the gnome. One pixel square = a chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. Please note that I am using HDC stitches for the C2C instead of DC. You can use either! The DC is more common but keep in mind that your gnome rectangle will end up slightly bigger if using Double Crochet.

If C2C is confusing to you, don’t worry, my friends at The Crochet Crowd have the perfect beginner tutorial! And the best part is that they chose to use a few of my projects as the examples so you can’t go wrong! Get The Crochet Crowd Corner-to-Corner Crochet using HDC (half double crochet) HERE.

Big THANK YOU to Jennifer Freeman of “My Beautiful Disasters” (Find her HERE on FB!) for writing out the C2C written pattern for the January, February, March, April, May, and June Gnomes (and the bonus gnome patterns below as well)! This is very helpful since many of you like to use the written rows to crochet instead of following the graph. She also added a ton of fun detail to her June gnome and I had to include it in this post so you could get some ideas on how to customize this cutie!

We’ve had so many celebrations lately with the school year ending and lots of recitals, birthdays, graduations, baby showers, and more! If you haven’t heard of “Maycember” it’s definitely a thing. Basically it’s the month of May being as busy as December but without the holiday lights LOL! If you are in the thick of it too and need teacher, coach, graduate, birthday, or a baby gift idea, I thought this adorable Bear Crochet Cup would be the perfect place to package up some gift cards and goodies!

It’s a simple pattern so you can easily make dozens for all those awesome teachers and important people in your life!

I am using Bernat Super Value yarn in colors Topaz for the main cup and Oatmeal for the snout and ears. You will need to use a double strand of yarn while crocheting so it might help to buy two skeins of each color or separate one skein into two balls before you begin crocheting.

-Size K Crochet Hook
–Bernat Super Value Yarn in Topaz and Oatmeal. Shop colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com
-Large Tapestry Needle

Add safety eyes to cup so they sit right about the snout.

Are you new the concept of Corner-to-Corner Crochet (aka C2C)? Or need some help with the logistics of how to change colors and increase/decrease? Let me help you! I have filmed a long video tutorial because I am walking you through this Tulip C2C block from start to finish! I am using the Half Double Crochet stitch and Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in these beautiful bright Spring colors!
Grab the Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in Lemon, Spring Green, Grenadine, Medium Purple, Turqua, and Pumpkin. Thank you to Red Heart Yarns for sending me these lovely shades of yarn to work with!

Make a whole bunch of these blocks and stitch them together for a blanket. Or maybe just crochet a couple and create a pouch or small tote bag. How about a table runner? So many ways to use these tiny tulips! I will be sure to have a follow-up post with directions on how to make a border and attach the blocks.

Corner-to-Corner Crochet lets you create a variety of images and pictures and designs using a pixel graph. These graphs are made up of squares. Each square is equal to a Chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. You will start in the corner (I prefer the lower right hand corner) and you will work diagonally in rows until you get the upper left hand corner.

I will show you how to carry your yarn and increase/decrease on the edges. Increases start with a chain 5, when it’s time to decrease you will slip stitch along the edge to start your next square.

To prepare, I suggest creating 2-3 balls of the background color (Lemon Yellow) because you will need to have several strands attached at one time. With the other colors, you can pull for the center of the skien. It doesn’t use much yarn!

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Lemon, Spring Green, Grenadine, Medium Purple, Turqua, and Pumpkin
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tulip Pixel Graph GET IT HERE
– Tapestry Needle

Finished Size: Approximately 6 x 7.5 inches

I hope you find this video helpful! There are many C2C Crochet Tutorials out there but sometimes it’s beneficial to watch a few different ones for new perspectives.

Thanks to my friend Jennifer Freeman from My Beautiful Disasters for providing the Tulip C2C written pattern!

April showers bring May flowers! The 5th gnome in our 2022 Gnome Project is all about pretty teal colors and sweet tulip flowers! If you missed the big announcement, Jen from Day by Day Clay and Crochet Group and I have team up for a very fun YEAR-LONG collaboration! Each month Jen will create a Gnome Polymer Clay Crochet Hook and I will create a matching Gnome Corner-to-Corner Crochet block. Our designs will be holiday and seasonal themed so for the month of January we made a Winter Gnome, February we created a sweet Valentine Gal Gnome, March we have a Leprechaun, April is an Easter Bunny, and May sports a sweet spring Tulip Flower! I have two pixel graphs for you to choose from: a bearded boy gnome with the flower on the hat and a piggy-tailed girl gnome with a tulip flower on her body!

Grab your Red Heart Super Saver yarn and let’s get make this adorable May flower gnome!

At the end of the 12 months I will be stitching the gnomes together to make a large blanket! The blanket panels will sit 4 across so this May block will be the start of our second row in our blanket and sit under the January winter gnome. I will be sure to include a tutorial at the end of the year that shows how to stitch the gnomes together. I know that C2C is a new technique for many of you so I am going to try and work on some very specific C2C video tutorials to help you through the process of crocheting these gnomes.

Be sure to use the hashtag #2022gnomeproject in your social media posts so we can all follow along and see your finished gnomes!

May Gnome Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver in Minty (hat), Jade (body), Coral (tulip flower), Spring Green (tulip stem), and Red Heart With Love in Blushing Peach for the background

NOTE ABOUT COLORS: I went with a lighter peach background because I new this block would be sitting under the blue January gnome. Feel free to go with whatever background color and colors for the gnome that you feel suits your project best!

– You probably won’t need more than one skein of taupe brown for the gnome nose. Use the same skein for all 12 or change it up and use any color of your choice for the nose! Feel free to choose your own hair color as well. Change it up or use white for the beard/braids.
– Size H Crochet Hook
-Tapestry needle
– May Gnome Pixel Graph (Girl)
– May Gnome Pixel Graph (Boy)

Finished Size of the Gnome Crochet Rectangle: 20 inches tall x 14 inches wide

Now let’s make the Gnome Corner-to-Corner Crochet Rectangle!

Corner-to-Corner Crochet lets you turn almost any image into a pixel graph and then from a pixel graph into a crocheted piece! The Corner-to-Corner technique basically means the you start in one corner (the lower right hand is most common place to start) and crochet diagonally in rows until you get to the other corner. You follow the pixel graph to create the color changes that make up the picture of the gnome. One pixel square = a chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. Please note that I am using HDC stitches for the C2C instead of DC. You can use either! The DC is more common but keep in mind that your gnome rectangle will end up slightly bigger if using Double Crochet.

If C2C is confusing to you, don’t worry, my friends at The Crochet Crowd have the perfect beginner tutorial! And the best part is that they chose to use a few of my projects as the examples so you can’t go wrong! Get The Crochet Crowd Corner-to-Corner Crochet using HDC (half double crochet) HERE.

I love how this tulip turned out!

Big THANK YOU to Jennifer Freeman of “My Beautiful Disasters” (Find her HERE on FB!) for writing out the C2C written pattern for the January, February, March, April, and May Gnomes (and the bonus gnome patterns below as well)! This is very helpful since many of you like to use the written rows to crochet instead of following the graph.

Do we need another gnome crochet pattern? WE SURE DO! Might as well keep the gnome-theme going this year with another adorable project! These Crochet Gnome Granny Squares are quick and easy to work up and you can make them in sooo many different colors. I am using the same Red Heart Super Saver colors that are in my Gnome Corner-to-Corner Crochet blocks but keeping the design a bit more simple.

Are you ready for this Jelly?! I’ve designed this mini crochet jellyfish as a quick project that is multi-functional. The jellyfish works up all in one piece and then you can decided whether you want to stuff it and stitch the bottom closed, or leave it open and use it as a cute little pouch for gifts, toys, and trinkets! So many colors to choose from and so many ways to use this cute and easy crochet jellyfish!

Materials:
– Red Heart with Love Yarn in color Peach, Red Heart Super Saver in Minty, or Red Heart Super Saver in Coral.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Smalle Strand of black yarn or embroidery thread
– Small button (optional for closure)
– Poly-fil Fiber Stuffing (optional if you want to stuff)

Mini Jellyfish Pattern:
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 8 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (16 SC)
Round 3: 2 SC in first, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1 (24 SC)
Round4: 2 SC in first, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 1 (32 SC)
Round 5-8: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (32 SC)
Round 9: SC Decrease, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 10-11: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (24 SC)
Round 12: working in the front loops only, Skip first stitch, 4 HDC in next, skip a stitch and join with slip stitch to next, repeat around making 6 scallops
Now working in the back loops from the previous round, chain 15 and make 2 SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, join with a slip stitch, slip stitch 2 over, chain 18 and make 2 SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, join with a slip stitch and slip stitch 2 stitches over to repeat process of making the tenticles (alternating between a chain 15 and a chain 18. Stop after making 6.
Fasten off leaving long tail.

Mini Crochet Bunny Baskets
I just published this pattern a few weeks ago and it has already creeped up into my top 5 most viewed video tutorials of all time! These are Mini Crochet Bunny Baskets that are self-closing!! They work in all one piece and after you have filled it with candy, the ears loop together to close the top! Bernat Softee Chunky is the perfect yarn for this project because it’s sturdy and soft and comes in pretty pastels.

Easy Crochet Bunny
This Crochet Bunny has very little sewing involved because the only pieces that need to be attached are the arms and feet (and those are optional!) The entire body and head and the two floppy ears are crocheted in one piece giving you less parts to sew together and ends to weave in. Just start from the bottom up!

Happy April! I have another gnome to add to our 2022 Gnome Project! If you missed the big announcement, Jen from Day by Day Clay and Crochet Group and I have team up for a very fun YEAR-LONG collaboration! Each month Jen will create a Gnome Polymer Clay Crochet Hook and I will create a matching Gnome Corner-to-Corner Crochet rectangle. Our designs will be holiday and seasonal themed so for the month of January we made a Winter Gnome, February we created a sweet Valentine Gal Gnome, March we have a Leprechaun, and April is an Easter Bunny! I have two pixel graphs for you to choose from: a bearded boy bunny and a piggy-tailed girl bunny!

Grab your Red Heart Super Saver yarn and let’s get make this adorable Easter Bunny Gnome!

At the end of the 12 months I will be stitching the gnomes together to make a large blanket! I will be sure to include a tutorial at the end of the year that shows how to stitch the gnomes together. I know that C2C is a new technique for many of you so I am going to try and work on some very specific C2C video tutorials to help you through the process of crocheting these gnomes.

Be sure to use the hashtag #2022gnomeproject in your social media posts so we can all follow along and see your finished gnomes!

Below is a picture of Jen’s April Gnome polymer clay canes! I love the bunny and the carrot! The way she makes these is truly fascinating. Jen makes the hooks (and posts them for sale in Day by Day Clay and Crochet Group) and I make the crochet patterns (which are posted for free here each month)! I love hooks with polymer clay handles because not only are the designs fun, festive, and cute, but they create an ergonomic handle which helps to ease pain and tension caused by the motions of crochet. Read more about these crochet hooks HERE.

She will be taking orders for the April Gnome hook soon! There is only a limited amount available!

April Bunny Gnome Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver in Lemon, Baby Pink, Orchid, Aruba Sea and White,
– You probably won’t need more than one skein of taupe brown for the gnome nose. Use the same skein for all 12 or change it up and use any color of your choice for the nose!
– Size H Crochet Hook
-Tapestry needle
– April Bunny Gnome Pixel Graph

Finished Size of the Gnome Crochet Rectangle: 20 inches tall x 14 inches wide

Now let’s make the Gnome Corner-to-Corner Crochet Rectangle!

Corner-to-Corner Crochet lets you turn almost any image into a pixel graph and then from a pixel graph into a crocheted piece! The Corner-to-Corner technique basically means the you start in one corner (the lower right hand is most common place to start) and crochet diagonally in rows until you get to the other corner. You follow the pixel graph to create the color changes that make up the picture of the gnome. One pixel square = a chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. Please note that I am using HDC stitches for the C2C instead of DC. You can use either! The DC is more common but keep in mind that your gnome rectangle will end up slightly bigger if using Double Crochet.

If C2C is confusing to you, don’t worry, my friends at The Crochet Crowd have the perfect beginner tutorial! And the best part is that they chose to use a few of my projects as the examples so you can’t go wrong! Get The Crochet Crowd Corner-to-Corner Crochet using HDC (half double crochet) HERE.

Big THANK YOU to Jennifer Freeman of “My Beautiful Disasters” (Find her HERE on FB!) for writing out the C2C written pattern for the January, February, March, and April Gnomes (and the bonus gnome patterns below as well)! This is very helpful since many of you like to use the written rows to crochet instead of following the graph.

I couldn’t fight the latest crochet trend! It’s all about cows right now and super cute crochet farm animals! So when I spotted a sweet little cow dishcloth pattern over at Yarnspirations.com, it inspired me to transform it into a sweet little lovey blanket. The cow print pattern comes with a pixel graph and when you download the PDF pattern, the directions will show you how to make this project in single crochet stitches. I decided to use the corner-to-corner technique! And if you’ve been following along with the #2022gnomeproject, I am sure you are now familiar with C2C crochet. Regardless, you can crochet the cow print in a variety of stitches so chose whichever one suits you!

Get the FREE Cow Print Dishcloth Pattern HERE
(this is what I used for the main blanket portion of this project)

Here is a short video the corner-to-corner crochet technique I’m using. I decided to use a mini C2C stitch which is a Chain 2 + 2 HDCs for each block.
Let me walk you through it:

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in White, Black, and Buff Beige
– Size F Crochet Hook
– 20mm black safety eyes (optional)
– Polyfil Fiber Stuffing
– Tapestry Needle

After you have complete the small blanket portion above, add on a cute cow head and arms by following the pattern below!

Cow Head:
Starting with beige yarn
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 10 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 3: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 4: 2 SC in first, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 5: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (30 SC)
Round 6: 2 SC in first, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 7: 2 SC in first, SC in next 3, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 8-10: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
join white yarn, fasten off beige
Round 11: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 12: SC Decrease, SC in next 3, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 13-15: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 16: SC Decrease, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 17-22: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1

Now is a good time to add safety eyes between rounds 13 and 14. Space them 10 stitches apart from each other.
You can also stitch on two little nostrils to the front of the nose with a strand of black yarn and your tapestry needle.
Start stuffing with poly-fil fiber stuffing

Round 23: SC Decrease, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 24: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 25: SC Decrease in each stitch around, join, chain 1
finish stuffing
Round 26: SC Decrease until closed

Cow Arms (make 2):
starting with beige yarn
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 12 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in first, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 3-6: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (18 SC)
Round 7: SC Decrease, SC in next 4, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 8: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (15 SC)
Round. 9: SC Decrease, SC in next 3, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 10-20: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (12 SC)

Horns (Make 2):
with beige yarn
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 6 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 3-5: SC in each stitch around, join
fasten off and stitch each how to the top of the cow head

Cow Outer Ears:
Make one ear in black and the other in white
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 10 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 3: 2 SC in first, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1
Round 4: SC in each stitch around, fasten off.

Cow Inner Ear:
Make 2 in beige
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 10 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 3: SC in each stitch around, join, fasten off leaving long tail.

Stitch inner ear to outer ear. Do not center it. Have the inner ear off to one edge of the outer ear.
Then you can pinch the other side closed and stitch on to either side of the cow head.

There are many spots where you can attach the head and arms to the blanket. I chose directly in the middle but it would look cute if you attached it to the top or corner of the blanket. You could even make 4 arms and attach each one to the 4 corners. Up to you!

I hope you utterly adore this project as much as I do!
