Most guides about crochet and tension talks about how tight you hold the yarn with your non-dominant hand. This is only half the story, though. What you do with the right hand (dominant hand) and what you do with your hook, is also important. ...

I had fun yesterday evening adding more rounds to a Tessa's Triangles hexagon. Are the lines through the center too thick?
I can't recommend black yarn in the evening btw. I had to borrow a waist light and hang around my neck (it's like a belt for runners). 🧐🔦 I got a little stiff in the neck from trying to sit still, so the light didn't forget to point in the right direction.
I might try something else tonight 💡 😉

Tessa's Triangles. Hexagon Samples. Just to practice the waistcoat stitches (ws).🤔 🤗 .
Even if you have a hook that likes waistcoat stitches, you might need to practice. I did, when I started playing around with ws.
Tips for practice: 🧶🪄
[Photo 1] make a one colored sample.
[Photo 2] exchange the ws in rnd 1 with loose(!) sc. (Make ws from rnd 2.) - and exchange ss with chains in rnd 1 too if you want.
Once you get used to the waistcoat stitches it gets a lot easier.
Anita also has a tip for adding a stitch marker, so it helps you find were to insert the hook in the next round. It's a clever little brain teaser. Have a look at @anitareinehr

Want to try something new during the weekend? Tessa's Triangles (hexagon pattern) is ready for you.
It's an introductory pattern showing new ways of making a hexagon. Partly tricky, but useful to learn. Once you can make this, you are ready for more beautiful things.
Head to www.stonegnome.com to find it.
I hope you have fun with it. And let me know if you need help 💚💛

Happy Easter from Bunny, Junior Egg, and me! 🐣🐰
We hope you had a lovely holiday - and a little yarn time, of course.
I’m currently working on my next #crochetscarfpattern. I was lucky to find a beautiful, soft, #colorchangingyarn that’s just perfect for it. 🤎🩷💛
🧶 Yarn: Gründl Hot Socks - Lago (4-ply)
🪄 Hook: 4.5mm (as my available 5mm ones feel just a tiny bit too heavy.)
- - -
Junior and Bunny can be found on my website, if you still are in Easter mode.
#crocheteaster #tunisiancrochet #newstitchcomingsoon
Bunny Egg and Junior Egg 🐰🐥
Time to check the attic. - I wonder if they both made it through last year. Our girl has always been especially fond of Junior, so somehow he kept going missing and never stayed where he was meant to be.
#crochetpatterns at www.stonegnome.com 🐣🧶
Happy #crocheteaster !🥚🥚
Found this in the attic (my yarn office).
I don't remember making it, but I must have. It's probably a test of the Little Flames stitch pattern I made a while ago.
The Little Flames stitch pattern is really fun to work with and very, very easy once you get the idea.
There is a guide on www.stonegnone.com. Search for infinity scarf CAL #2 or just Little Flames.

Sry, for yesterday's post. It was - of course - April 1st. 🤪
BUT, I have a very good tip!
I was worried about my crochet hook being confiscated by airport security when traveling.
So, I bought three hooks. 🪝🪝🪝
I kept one in my handbag and packed the other two as backups in my larger luggage. This way, if one hook got taken on the way out and another on the way back, I’d still be able to work on my crochet project while I was away and when I got back home.
Worst-case scenario? You end up with three hooks.
P.S. I came home with three hooks. They survived a journey that included 1 ferry, 1 bus, 3 airplanes, 2 rental cars, and stays in 6 different places before returning home via 2 airplanes, a bus, 1 ferry, and a friendly neighbor who kindly picked us up (thankfully).
#crochettip #yarnspirations #yarnlover #crochethook
Working on an advanced triple-crochet technique. You need 3 hooks, but it’s A LOT of fun, so it is definitely worth a little extra :)
Could this be a goodbye to traditional crochet! ?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️
Some are already celebrating, while others will get there soon.
I wish we marked #stpatricksday☘️ here in Denmark - acknowledging (other) cultures and traditions never hurts.
And who couldn’t use a little Faith 🤗, Hope 🤞, and Love ♥️ these days?
I’ll settle for a cup of tea and some greenish yarn while looking forward to spring and sunshine 🌱☀️
Have a lovely day (or evening) 🥰 whether you’re raising a glass, a teacup, or just your feet to relax.

I visited these lovely girls and guy last month in New Zealand - what a fantastic part of the world! I love the stunning nature, the friendly people, and the warm, sunny weather.
It had been 12 years since my last visit, and I noticed fewer sheep-filled fields and a lot more cows. Rumor has it, dairy is the bigger business now - I just hope NZ keeps some of its iconic sheep around.
Unfortunately, I didn’t come across many yarn shops on my visit - I guess, we stayed too far from the bigger cities.
What did I miss? Does anyone know about any New Zealand yarn and where to find it?
I can’t wait to visit again <3
Hopefully, it will be much sooner than 12 years from now.

When it's cold, dark, and rainy outside, there's nothing better than playing with #crochetstitches . This might turn into a new #stitchpattern !
I love the stripes, and if the yarn is right, there’s a little perk: when you stretch it lengthwise, a ribbing effect appears. However, only a few of the yarns I tried gave that result - most just show the stripes.

One of the Tunisian rib stitch patterns. Purl n knit stitches.
The purl can be a little tricky to get even, I think. When a purl comes after a knit stitch I give the purl a little tug to avoid a gap between them.
If you know of any other tips, let me know.
Have a nice weekend!

No one seemed to think a magic battery-driven hook was real. And you were right! (No machines can crochet yet). It was just an April Fool's Day joke! 😄
HOWEVER, while the magic hook might not be real, the offer of a little draw for a free StoneGnome pattern was VERY REAL! ❤️
From the likes on the Instagram and Facebook posts, StoneGnome randomly selected the lucky winners.
And the prizes go to.... drum roll... TADAAAAH! 🎉

THE MAGIC CROCHET HOOK 🎩
Did you hear? A battery-driven crochet hook is being launched!
Currently, it can help you with a few basic stitches like the sc and sl st.
AND - I'm proud to announce that - it will also support you with waistcoat stitches (aka knit stitches).
Sign up below for early access to the magic crochet hook shop! When you sign up, you'll also automatically be entered into a competition for a free StoneGnome pattern of your choice.
To enter:
✍️ Comment your real name below
⚡ Feel free to tag a friend you care about.
‼️ Double your chances by participating on both Facebook and Instagram!
Sign-up on April 1st only.
P.S. Photos are a couple of StoneGnome patterns the magic hook can help you with (and a regular crochet hook).
HAPPY EASTER Holidays!
I tried the StoneGnome Easter Egg pattern with a 4mm (G-6) hook n #scheepjes #twinkleyarn . 🤎
The white yarn lost its label, but is a little heavier than regular amigurumi yarn.
I hope you all get yarn time the next days!
How would you describe the waistcoat stitch? Most call it dense and sturdy. I love it for being flexible with a great drape.
It can be both. Understanding its dual nature gives you an advantage in your next crochet project, so I wrote down the 'secrets' of the stitch.

These half mitts only needs sewing now and the pattern is ready (in my head). Yeah! 🧤😊
With snow ❄️ outside and a - hopefully - relaxed weekend ahead, these and the orange mitts should be done soon.
I'm wondering whether Half Mitts is a good name?
As there is half a thumb, they can hardly be called fingerless, I guess.
Now, I need to get the pattern onto a piece of paper 📜 and find testers.
....
P.s. If anyone here would like to test the pattern, let me know.
The crochet pattern is fairly simple and easy to do, if you don't find waistcoat stitches exasperating. 😱🙂
- It will come in child size 6-8y and woman S/M.
- you will need sock yarn 210m/50gr and hook size 5mm.
#crochetmittens #fingerlessgloves #fingerlessmitts #crochetpatterntester #handmadecrochet #ilovecrochet
Yawn time is great, but oooh...
- I doubt, I will finish my current projects this year 😱
How about you? What are you working on?
I hope your holidays had plenty of room for yarn and crochet, and you also had the joy of finishing something? 🧡
If you are wondering what I'm working on now, then it is soft, comfy, fingerless mittens.
- Lucky us, next year is just around the corner, with more time for more yarn! 😎
Wishing you a Yarntastic 2024! 😊

There are so many lovely crocheted Christmas ornaments out there. Snowflakes ❄️, baubles, stars ⭐️ and hearts ❤️
These baubles just got something extra. Golden caps. A nice detail, they are very happy about. 🥰 I guess a little gold and glitter, never hurt. ✨
A delightful December weekend to you! ♥️
P.s. Below is how it can be done 👇
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Find the bauble pattern on www.stonegnome.com. 🧶 After completing rounds 1-12, continue with the instructions below (instead of 'Final Round').
13) With colored yarn. Make waistcoat stitch decreases all the way (6)
Slst and cut the colored yarn. Pull the yarn through the loop. Secure ends, a little knot using the white and colored yarn should be fine.
Tug the loose ends into the bauble.
SWIPE NOTE. It is ok if there are gaps between the last round of stitches. Just make sure they are closed after the next round.
...
🧢 THE CAP 🧢
Use a 3-3.5 mm (US D3-E4 or steel 0-00) hook and golden yarn.
Attach the yarn by inserting the hook between the legs of the last waistcoat stitch (as if doing a new waistcoat stitch), yarn-over and pull through. This doesn’t count as a stitch.
To hide the loose end of the golden yarn, crochet around it for the next rounds.
Make 2 rounds of waistcoat stitches.
Slip stitch into next stitch, cut a long yarn end and pull through the last loop. Tighten the last slst.
➰ Create a loop for hanging the ornament. ➰
Attach a needle to the yarn end. Insert the needle into the next stitch and out in the middle of the cap.
While leaving most of the golden yarn to form a large loop, bring the needle back into the cap's center, and out at the bottom of the cap, then reinserting it right next to the initial point.
Tie a knot using the large loop and the short loose yarn end. Tuck the knot and the yarn end into the cap to hide it.
Voilà!

Ok. I might need a better name 🎃
With or without eyes, they are cute, right? I really got in the Halloween-spirit working on these little critters. 🦇🦇
I played around with the design and wanted to make a smaller one (the one on the left) and started out with with less foundation stitches. Then I lost track and made more rows than planned. However, looks like it is a forgiving project. Yeah :)

Trying to decide. Black or dark gray together with the gray piece at left? ☁️ ⚫
Contrast is good. Black looks great, but is mighty difficult to work with and is also more challenging to show on a photo.
Decisions, decisions. If only every choice were between two harmless options.
I'll sleep on it.

What is your favorite kind of pumpkin? Orange, stylish, or scary-cute?
The Halloween Pumpkin pattern is now available in English 🇺🇸 AND Danish. 🇩🇰
You get the pumpkin, the assembly process, the graceful wings, the leaf, and invaluable tips - all accompanied by helpful images.
I've enjoyed tweaking the pattern. 😊 I've rewritten a few sections and shuffled a couple of paragraphs for a more intuitive flow. 👓
And - I've drawn a leaf chart for those who appreciate a touch of visual guidance!
The head (body) part of the pattern is crafted through Tunisian crochet. The Tunisian stitches are a perfect match for amigurumi. Flexible and easy to crochet.
I love working those stitches whether in front of the TV or sipping tea with friends. 🧶☕
Visit www.stonegnome.com (or use the link in bio) to find the pattern.
Yarn - Mayflower Andes (Scheepjes Metropolis, Bumbo, or a similar leftover yarn.

What are you working on? And what was I working on? 🤔
When summer started I worked on crocheted sock and shoe patterns. 🧦🥿
I found an experienced knitter that confirmed I was on the right track.
I also found a few things I wanted to make better and then...
[Warning! ⚠️ The next part is not for sensitive ears!]
...a very fresh cup of tea ☕🔥 decided to fall into my lap. I sat in the shower for hours to cool down. 🚿
I have been in the healing process for weeks. I've gotten penicillin 💊 due to infection and slept a lot. Finally, everything looks a lot better, though healing is still in progress. ❤️🩹
[End of warning]
The other day I made a small cup of tea. The first for weeks. It was... Ok. Not pure joy, but I also had a brief look at my crochet projects. They are still there 🙂
I'm looking forward to tea being great again and to also pick up the yarn and the projects for real. 🧶
CU ❤️

Brian crocheted a StoneGnome Infinity Scarf for his wife. ❤️
Head over and see it and give it a like >> @margellmusic
I wish my hubby knew how to crochet. That would have been AWESOME!

It has been Father’s Day ❤️ in Denmark today and later in June, it will be Father’s Day in a lot more places around the world.
My father was my big hero when I was a little girl. He had so many skills and loved well-crafted and homemade items. He patiently shared whatever I wanted to learn.
Unfortunately, we lost him this winter. I'm still trying to get used to it, and I am grateful for all the good memories that are still there.
So, I would like to share a little love on Father's Day. ❤️ 🧶
Lately, I’ve worked on crochet patterns based on a little heart-shaped crochet stitch. The waistcoat stitch.
To celebrate Father’s Day I’ve created a code for 30% off on the paid patterns. (There are a few free patterns as well on the website.)

Waistcoat stitches study. How do you crochet them when working in rounds?
GEEK ALERT: I LOVE these heart-shaped stitches 💙
- Img 1 is a little sample where I inserted the hook between the legs of the previous stitch and then went in BETWEEN the bars at the back of the stitch.
Swipe to img 2 and see, what it looks like from behind. Looking closer, this might explain why the stitches tilt? 🤔
- Img 3 is a sample, where I inserted the hook before the bars at the back.
Swipe to img 4 to see the reverse side of it.
Method 1 is stretchy but has also a kind of firmness. It might be good for Amigurumi.
I prefer method 2. It seems stretchier and the texture seems softer (maybe it's just me?). Plus the stitches don't tilt. This is the kind of waistcoat stitches I love.
🧶 If you try it, let me know what you think??
And FYI. I've just added some more thoughts and tips about the waistcoat stitch to www.stonegnome.com.

Happy Mother's Day ❤️
I'll start my day in the emergency room 🏥 WITHOUT my yarn n crochet hook. Big mistake 🙂
We are pretty much all right, though. Kiddo hurt his arm yesterday and as it still hurts today, he wanted a check up. So, here we are on a sunny summer-like Sunday 😎🌞. Waiting.
This is what moms do. With or without yarn 🧶 At least I have my phone and just found a photo of some hearts I did.
(The World Heart Day pattern is available on www.stonegnome.com. The curly border is explained in a previous Instagram post).

With a little tweaking, waistcoat stitches in rows can be asked to line up nicely. ❤️🧡💛

Did you ever use nylon with an amigurumi project?
I just came to think of a little tip for amigurumi - that not everyone knows about. 😊
To be sure, the stuffing doesn't try to escape the amigurumi or show between the stitches, you can use a piece of nylon.
Tie a knot in one end and turn the piece inside out. Insert the nylon into your shape and fill it there.
Depending on the shape, tie another knot at the other end too, or give it a couple of stitches.
- - -
The chocolate eggs I'm working on here seem safe. So I didn't use nylon this time. If I were to make one of heavier yarn, I would defintely use nylon.

A World Heart Day heart¹
+ a cute curly border (swipe 👉)
= a cute Valentine's heart. 💝
I'm grateful I've been able to make this easy little thingy.
I ran into an evil eye infection and the eye drops blur my vision. 😵 I was warned I might not be able to see at crochet distance, but so far it works. Or - I hope it looks alright to you too? 🤓🤔

¹❤️ The World Heart Day pattern is available at www.stonegnome.com. The written pattern has just been updated. Charts are available too.

Friday n weekend. Time to explore? 🧶🪄
I'm trying something new and warm with waistcoat stitches. It's just a 1st try, but I already frogged 🐸 the part in the photo several times.
I should stop frogging n just see what happens 🤔

I hope you all had a nice Christmas and New Year's Eve. We did. 😌 Quiet n peaceful. (Maybe the fireworks made a little noise 🎆 )
Yet, I also found myself NOT ready to enter a new year. 😱 🥺
So, lately I've added extra yarn time, and played around with mini-versions of Snowflake #1. 🧶❄️🪄
Maybe it has helped. I think, I'm slowly getting ready for 2023...
Anyone else still doing snowflakes? 🤔 💙

Pattern release. Make a little striped Christmas bauble. 🧶
The pattern was released at www.stonegnome.com today.
I REALLY wanted to share this earlier to give you a fair chance of making it this year. Then I got hit by whatever the kids had 7-10 (?) days ago. So, it took forever to write down the instructions and take photos. 📸
But, it’s a fast little project - if you know the stitches. If you don’t know them, there is your chance of learning something new and different 🤓
I’ll crawl back to bed 🤧 have fun!
FYI. I used #scheepjescatona yarn. It was a joy working with it, so I wish for some more :)

Finally Friday. ☺️ Time for crochet.
We need less rain ☔, more snow ❄️ and less fall viruses 🦠. (Two sick kids for two days now).
If snow doesn't come from the sky, I'll just make some. 🪄🧶
You can too. The snowflake patterns are free and available from www.stonegnome.com (link in bio) 🙂
Oh! And available in English 🇺🇸 and Danish 🇩🇰
[Note to self. Next year I need some of the lovely white #twinkleyarn from #scheepjes for more snowflakes.]

Do you sometimes wish you could crochet with both hands? (Not at the same time 😊)
It would have been helpful when making the second wing here, as the wings have a couple of ridges on the front side. And they are - of course - supposed to be mirrored.
I borrowed a Tunisian way of doing reverse stitches. It's not the working-in-the-reverse-direction approach (the crab stitch), but a work-from-the-reverse-side solution.

The pumpkin pattern is updated with wings and leaves and two pumpkin variations. 🎃🎃
There is also a little magic included that makes the second wing look like a mirrored version of the first.
The pattern is available on Ravelry, www.payhip.com/stonegnome and lovecrochet.com. 🧶🪄
I still haven't made a face on the white pumpkin. I tried, but undid it again. I've might accidentally got used to it being faceless 👻

What do you like better? The scary faceless halloween ghostbat pumpkin? 😱 Or the orange bat pumpkin? 🦇🎃
The ghost version looks pretty much how I feel these days. 🤪
I got hit by a really bad Flu, which turned out to be a Corona virus. And it triggered my vertigo a little.
Nonetheless I've had fun these days making pumpkins. Couldn't decide what the ghost should look like. Might try again tomorrow. 🎭
The next days I'll see if I can see clear enough to update my pumpkin pattern and include the batwings and the leaves.

It is #worldheartday . The day to have a little thought about what you can do for others, for nature, and for yourself.
This new little heart pattern can remind you of what is important in your life. ❤
🧶 I used Scheepjes Catona and hook 3.5 mm (US - UK )
You can use any yarn and hook that works for you.

Another yarn seller I love to visit @fredsminde_hammershusgarn
She got so many pretty and bright colors.
One of my favourite yarns are #arwetta from @filcolana . Soft, uniform and durable. I believe it is a sock yarn, but it works well for scarfs and amigurumi too.
@fredsminde_hammershusgarn makes beautiful hand dyed arwetta as well as her own amazing Tamara and Susi yarns. Zoom to check the yarn labels.
#yarnloving #yarnspiration @strikbornholm

Very, very soft and beautifully hand dyed yarn from @frukrogh.dk .
She is in love with silk. 💞 🦋
Pure silk is soft, soft, soft, and light and very shiny. Suitable for a princess. 👑
I love when the silk is blended with other fibers. The silk gets a slightly different color than the other fibers. It adds shadows and highlights to the yarn in a natural way.
The yellow-brown-reddish hanks are a blend of soft alpaca, silk and cashmere. 🦙 🦋 🐐

NZ, Australia and South A. Send spring and summer vibes, please ☀️😎🌱
I've had too many voluntary projects going on lately. Hopefully there will be less of that now and more time for sharing crochet love ❤️.
Now, what yarn project to get ready for next? Warm socks, gloves, a cape, a blanket or maybe something lighter?

One more heart made with #catona and hook size 2.5 mm.
#scheepjescatona is a little heavy for something like this, but it works well, I think.
I've added two tiny notes to the pattern.
The first is right after finishing the small heart and getting ready for the big heart.
The other is how to join the two hearts at the bottom tip in a neat way.
Have a lovely day. ❤️🌿

Double Heart - New Crochet pattern. An adorable romantic heart. ❤️
A few days ago I heard a little girl being sad, that she might not receive a heart on Valentine's Day. Happily, I think she understood that it is a bit early to be concerned about Valentine's Day when you are only 7y old.
Anyway, sometimes we have to make our own hearts if we want them. And sometimes we should make someone else happy by giving away 💝 a little love.
The last week I've been playing around with old heart patterns and then the double heart started to show. 🪄🧶 I have just released the - currently free - pattern on my blog www.stonegnome.com. (clickable link in bio).
So, this is my Valentine's heart to you. ❤️ 😊
Have a very Happy Valentine's Weekend!

Yeah. Found a project that disappeared after I broke my arm. For some reason it hid under a lot of other yarn 🤔
I frogged 🐸 part of it today and redid it (found an error). Love working on it!
Fyi. It is just a little sample for a could-be future project.

🌟 Happy New Year 💫
If the last day of the year is important for how your next year will be. What will you do on this day?
I will avoid cleaning 🥳
AND I will find time to crochet. 🧶 My arm is better. 😊 Not feeling broken, though it does feel sprained, which it might be (I think). BUT, I actually managed to crochet a little already before the woodcast was removed. YEAH! So feeling confident.
🧶👉 This funny yarn* is now becoming a scarf for my little girl. 🧣 The stitches are Tunisian Top Stitches*. These are easier to work with, if you need to feel your way into the stitches. (And the stitches are good for bulky yarn too).
PLUS. Tunesian crochet seemed to be easy on my arm. 🤔😄
I WISH YOU ALL a very HAPPY NEW YARN YEAR! 🎉 🧨🥂
---
* The fake fur yarn is something I stumbled upon at the local supermarket.
** I have a tutorial for the Tunisian Top Stitches on my website if you are interested. You can use a regular hook, while learning this.

🎁 Pattern GIVEAWAY 🎁 …It is time for a YULE YARN Challenge! ❄️ 🧶
I’m sitting here with my broken arm and thinking about how different yarn can be and how difficult it can be to describe yarn.
I’m looking for words about texture, feel, color, look, and other qualities. Words like smooth, soft, elastic, hairy, and multicolored.
Note. Words for yarn fiber, weight/yardage don’t count. Those are pretty straightforward. Same with how it is packed: Skein, ball, hank.
👉 Swipe for a little inspirational movie.
AND, hit me with words you might use to describe yarn and win a StoneGnome pattern for Christmas.
1 comment = 1 chance of winning.
(I'll do my best to check for duplicates and not let them count).
In about a week I’ll draw a name and the winner gets a free StoneGnome crochet pattern of his/her choice. 💝
- - - -
Btw. My Facebook page could use a little activity. Join the parallel challenge on www.facebook.com/stonegnomedesign and you will have a bigger chance of winning a pattern.

#yarnspiration . I got this great package from @littlebugz.dk lately. I needed at least two red colors and 1-2 green ones for a poinsettia.
Which red ones would you aim at (any colors)? Two warm red colors or more crimson-burgundy (bordeaux like) red ones?
It is difficult to see the difference of the reds on a photo. I was hoping there would be more difference between the two warm red ones. One being darker than the other.
With a little luck a darker red suddenly appears among the huge amount of #scheepjescatona colors already present 🙂
#yarncandy #yarnpornofinstagram #yarnlovers #yarngeek #yarnstagram #scheepjesbamboosoft #yarnlove #loveyarn #yarnporn
Now what to do on those rainy 🌧️ dark winter days before Xmas?
X-ray showed a fracture 💔, so doctors wrapped me up like a package and told me to look like this for 4 weeks. 😱
I spent yesterday with rest and a little voluntary work, trying to pretend nothing happened.
Once I'm over the first phase of healing I might tidy up old yarn 🧶 and old files or maybe find a quick knit thingy if my yarn addiction gets intolerable.
Now could also be a good time to figure out how to crochet with my left hand 🙂
I'm wishing you all a lot more yarn 🧶 time than me in December ❤️

Auch. See the bump on my arm*? I guess the only way I'll be using yarn the next week is as a support. 😥
Help me stay happy. Tell me what you are working on? 🧶💗

*I took the big step down a small ladder when I wanted to hang up the first Xmas lights outside.
Hubby and kiddo #1 is now working on that.

Tricky Triangles mandala. (Big) Red version. 🍭
Did you notice? There is one round of triangles less here compared to the Peppermint & Licorice (swipe to see). It's slightly bigger though as the yarn is heavier and the hook is size 8mm.
The red yarn is what I used when I worked on the new techniques for the mandala. I love the colors, but they are also very, very difficult to take photos of.
(Which gave me a reason and excuse for making the black/white version too 😊 )
The lovely yarn supported all my trial-and-errors well and is another of my favorites. It's Scheepjes Merino Soft. And it really is soft.
If you live in or close to Denmark, Norway or Sweden you can find yarn packages 🧶📦 for the mandala at www.littlebugz.dk*
The Tricky Triangles pattern ✏️ is on my webpage - via my Payhip store - or at Ravelry or LoveCraft.
Use the coupon code TRICK, on Ravelry or Payhip to get a 30% discount. But, hurry up, it's only valid for a little more than 24 hours from now.
...see my bio for links.
Once again, thank you to @ingoldenstitches for finding a name for it. Big red is also a cinnamon flavor gum. Something I have to try.
Thank you to all of you for downloading the pattern already. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did 🧡❤️

Tricky Triangles mandala. Peppermint & Licorice version. 🍭
The colors made me think SO much of a certain kind of candy. I had a hard time finding it, but swipe to see it 😄
Another kind of candy here is the yarn. 🧶 I love working with it. It is Scheepjes Organicon (almond color) and Scheepjes Bamboo Soft grey and dark grey. Both types of yarn are very soft. They also go together well even though the yardage is not exactly the same.

What would you call the red mandala here if you should name it? 🤔
I call the black and white one peppermint and licorice. But, it actually has a shy and older sister. She never got a name and that isn't fair.
Any ideas? 💡💡💡
If a really good name pops up, I'll reward it with a free mandala pattern. 💝
Btw. I hope to release the mandala pattern (two-in-one) next week.
Sry, for the wait. I got caught up with Halloween and other things.

Here is the little spider web pattern. Right here at Instagram 🙂🧶🪄
It can be used as a #coaster or you can expand it and use it as a #tabletopper .
Use any yarn you want and a relatively large hook. Use cotton yarn if meant for warm items.
Happy Halloween!
P.s. help me share this. Tag anyone in the comments if you think they might like this. 🧡

SURPRISE! My hooks insisted and then a Tunisian PUMPKIN pattern came out of the blue.
Testing wasn't all easy. I forgot that most Tunisian crocheters aren't used to #amigurumi 😱 I hope I managed to explain everything now (lots of photos)
The pattern is on Ravelry (link in bio). Use the COUPON CODE: PUMPKIN and get the pattern for FREE 🎃
(valid until November 1st)
Happy Halloween 🎃 👻

Second try. Much better right?
I like this. It could be a coaster.
Is anyone interested in a written 🕷️🕸️ Halloween 🎃 pattern? Then I'll see if I can write it down in a hurry...
I didn't block mine. Kinda like the little twist it has. If you want it straight, I'm pretty sure blocking can help you.

I had fun yesterday evening adding more rounds to a Tessa's Triangles hexagon. Are the lines through the center too thick?
I can't recommend black yarn in the evening btw. I had to borrow a waist light and hang around my neck (it's like a belt for runners). 🧐🔦 I got a little stiff in the neck from trying to sit still, so the light didn't forget to point in the right direction.
I might try something else tonight 💡 😉

Tessa's Triangles. Hexagon Samples. Just to practice the waistcoat stitches (ws).🤔 🤗 .
Even if you have a hook that likes waistcoat stitches, you might need to practice. I did, when I started playing around with ws.
Tips for practice: 🧶🪄
[Photo 1] make a one colored sample.
[Photo 2] exchange the ws in rnd 1 with loose(!) sc. (Make ws from rnd 2.) - and exchange ss with chains in rnd 1 too if you want.
Once you get used to the waistcoat stitches it gets a lot easier.
Anita also has a tip for adding a stitch marker, so it helps you find were to insert the hook in the next round. It's a clever little brain teaser. Have a look at @anitareinehr

Want to try something new during the weekend? Tessa's Triangles (hexagon pattern) is ready for you.
It's an introductory pattern showing new ways of making a hexagon. Partly tricky, but useful to learn. Once you can make this, you are ready for more beautiful things.
Head to www.stonegnome.com to find it.
I hope you have fun with it. And let me know if you need help 💚💛

HELP! What do you call a pattern that is an introduction to new ways of crocheting?
An opening pattern?
Introduction pattern?
Preliminary pattern?
Introductory pattern?

Happy Easter from Bunny, Junior Egg, and me! 🐣🐰
We hope you had a lovely holiday - and a little yarn time, of course.
I’m currently working on my next #crochetscarfpattern. I was lucky to find a beautiful, soft, #colorchangingyarn that’s just perfect for it. 🤎🩷💛
🧶 Yarn: Gründl Hot Socks - Lago (4-ply)
🪄 Hook: 4.5mm (as my available 5mm ones feel just a tiny bit too heavy.)
- - -
Junior and Bunny can be found on my website, if you still are in Easter mode.

Bunny Egg and Junior Egg 🐰🐥
Time to check the attic. - I wonder if they both made it through last year. Our girl has always been especially fond of Junior, so somehow he kept going missing and never stayed where he was meant to be.
#crochetpatterns at www.stonegnome.com 🐣🧶
Happy #crocheteaster !🥚🥚
Found this in the attic (my yarn office).
I don't remember making it, but I must have. It's probably a test of the Little Flames stitch pattern I made a while ago.
The Little Flames stitch pattern is really fun to work with and very, very easy once you get the idea.
There is a guide on www.stonegnone.com. Search for infinity scarf CAL #2 or just Little Flames.

Sry, for yesterday's post. It was - of course - April 1st. 🤪
BUT, I have a very good tip!
I was worried about my crochet hook being confiscated by airport security when traveling.
So, I bought three hooks. 🪝🪝🪝
I kept one in my handbag and packed the other two as backups in my larger luggage. This way, if one hook got taken on the way out and another on the way back, I’d still be able to work on my crochet project while I was away and when I got back home.
Worst-case scenario? You end up with three hooks.
P.S. I came home with three hooks. They survived a journey that included 1 ferry, 1 bus, 3 airplanes, 2 rental cars, and stays in 6 different places before returning home via 2 airplanes, a bus, 1 ferry, and a friendly neighbor who kindly picked us up (thankfully).
