Here's another pattern I have been working on. I'm making a granny square sampler blanket at the moment, making up my own designs as I go. This sunny flower has been one of my favourite squares so far, so I experimented with it a bit more, made some improvements, and ended up with this pattern. Here's a picture of my blanket so far. I'm having so much fun with this project! Anyway, back to the pattern. This is a similar design to my Flower Bunting Pattern. As I explained in that post, I'm very much a beginner at this pattern writing thing, so if you try it I would love your feedback. Rett's Flower Square (UK terms) I used 8ply (DK) yarn, a 4mm hook and 6 colours. My finished square measured 15cm (6 inch). This pattern uses UK terms, and the following stitches: (US terms are in brackets) sl st - slip stitch ch - chain dc - double crochet (sc) tr - treble (dc) dtr - double treble (tr) dtr4tog - double treble 4 together (tr4tog) htr - half treble (hdc) hdtr - half double treble (htr) I haven't explained how to do these stitches, or join colours, as there are plenty of tutorials already out there for these things! FOUNDATION RING: Using colour number 1, ch 4 and join with sl st to form a ring. ROUND 1: Ch 3 (counts as 1 tr), 11 tr into the ring, join with sl st into 3rd ch of ch 3. Fasten off. You should have 12tr altogether. foundation ring and round 1 ROUND 2: Using colour number 2, ch 4 into any tr from round 1, 1 dtr into same stitch. 2 dtr into each stitch to end, join with sl st into 4th of ch 4. Fasten off. You should have 12 pairs (24 dtr altogether). Depending on your yarn and tension, this round may curl up a little. Mine "cups" a bit, but flattens out with the next round. If you find your circle curling too much, try using hdtr instead of dtr. round 2 ROUND 3: Using colour number 3, ch 3 in the space between any two of the dtr pairs, 1 tr in the same space. 2 tr in space between each dtr to end. Join with a sl st into 4th ch of ch 4. Fasten off. You should have 48 tr altogether. round 3 ROUND 4: Using colour number 4, dc in the space between any two of the tr from round 3 (I make a dc standing stitch to start this round), chain 3, *skip the next two spaces, dc in the third space, ch 3, continue from * to end. Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc. Fasten off. You should have 16 dc. round 4 ROUND 5: Using the same colour as the last round, starting in any 3 chain space, ch 3 or 4 (to form first dtr of the cluster - usually ch 4 is used with dtr, but for these petals I find ch 3 fits the shape better), dtr3tog in the same space (this forms your first dtr4tog), ch 3, *dtr4tog, ch 3, repeat from * to end, join with a sl st in the top of the first cluster. Fasten off. You should have 16 petals. round 5 ROUND 6: Using colour number 5, *4 dc in any chain space (I use a standing dc for the first stitch here too), 2 htr and 2 tr in next chain space, 2 hdtr, 2 dtr, ch 3, 2 dtr, 2 hdtr in next chain space (this forms a corner), 2 tr and 2 htr in next chain space. Repeat from * three times to form the rest of the square. Join with sl st to the top of the first dc, fasten off. This part of the pattern is similar to Round 5 of the Flower Bunting pattern, so the diagram there might help, but please note that there is no ch 1 in between the sets of four stitches in this pattern. round 6 ROUND 7: Using colour number 6 and working in any corner space, ch 6 (to form one tr and ch 3 corner space), 2 tr in same space, 1 tr in top of each stitch to next corner space. *2 tr, ch 3, 2 tr in corner space, 1 tr in top of each stitch to next corner. Repeat from * to form next three sides. Finish with 1 tr in the first corner space beside the starting chain. Join with a sl st in the 3 ch of ch6 (this becomes the 2nd tr of that set). Fasten off. You should have 24 tr along each side. round 7 And that's it! I have made several of these now, so I think I'll make a cushion out of them. I'll share a photo of it when it's finished. UPDATE: you can see the finished cushion here. I used Biggan Design 8 ply wool for my square, in the following colours: Scarlet, Coral Red, Bright Orange, Saffron, Turquoise and Deep Turquoise. I would love to see what you do with your squares!

Simple Knitted Dishcloth Free Knitting Patterns

I've been playing around with new designs for my Hippie Granny Bunting, and was pretty happy with this cute flower one, so I thought I'd share it with you! CONFESSION TIME: This is actually my first "published" pattern! I have been procrastinating about writing patterns for a couple of years, and have lots of almost-finished ones that I need to get tested and out there. A big part of my problem is perfectionism, but if we wait until we are experts at doing something before we do it, when will it ever get done? So I'm setting this one free, as is, untested (except by me)! Please try it out and let me know how it goes. I usually make up my own designs and don't actually read a lot of patterns, so my crochet language is a bit awkward. I'll keep working on it, but in the meantime I'd love your feedback and suggestions. It will be very helpful to me in getting my other designs out there :) Rett's Flower Bunting (UK terms) I used 8ply (DK) yarn, a 4mm hook and 6 colours. This pattern uses UK terms, and the following stitches: (US terms are in brackets) sl st - slip stitch ch - chain dc - double crochet (sc) tr - treble (dc) dtr - double treble (tr) dtr3tog - double treble 3 together (tr3tog) htr - half treble (hdc) hdtr - half double treble (htr) I haven't explained how to do these stitches, or join colours, as there are plenty of tutorials already out there for these things! FOUNDATION RING: Using colour number 1, ch 4 and join with sl st to form a ring. ROUND 1: Ch 3 (counts as 1 tr), 11 tr into the ring, join with sl st into 3rd ch of ch 3. Fasten off. foundation chain and round 1 ROUND 2: Using colour number 2, ch 3 into any tr from round 1, 1 tr into same stitch. 2 tr into each stitch to end, join with sl st into 3rd of ch 3. Fasten off. You should have 12 pairs (24 tr altogether). round 2 ROUND 3: Using colour number 3, dc in the space between two of the tr pairs (I make a dc standing stitch to start this round), chain 3, *dc in the next space between two tr pairs, ch 3, continue from * to end. Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc. Fasten off. round 3 ROUND 4: Using the same colour as the last round, starting in any 3 chain space, ch 3 (to form first dtr of the cluster), dtr2tog in the same space (this forms your first dtr3tog), ch 3, *dtr3tog, ch 3, repeat from * to end, join with a sl st in the top of the first cluster. Fasten off. If you look carefully at my photo below, you can see how the first petal at the top is actually made up of 3 chain and a dtr2tog, but the rest of the petals are dtr3tog. If you know a better way to do this or explain it, please let me know :) round 4 ROUND 5: Using colour number 4, *4 dc in any chain space (I use a standing dc for the first stitch here too), ch 1. Work 2 htr and 2 tr in next chain space, ch 1. In next chain space work 2 hdtr, 2 dtr, ch 3, 2 dtr, 2 hdtr (all in the same chain space, as this forms a corner), ch 1. Work 2 tr, 2 htr in next chain space, ch 1. Repeat from * twice to form the rest of the triangle. Join with sl st to the top of the first dc, fasten off. PHEW, there must be an easier way to say that! Does it make any sense at all? This is where we turn the circle into a triangle, and I promise it's much easier to do than to explain! If you're a visual person like me, the picture might help. round 5 ROUND 6: Using colour number 5 and working in any corner space, ch 6 (to form one tr and ch 3 corner space), 4 tr, ch 1,* 4 tr in next chain space, ch 1, continue from * to next corner space. **4 tr, ch 3, 4 tr in corner space, ch 1, 4 tr in next 4 chain spaces, with ch 1 between each set of 4 tr. Repeat from **. Finish with 3 tr in the first corner space, join with a sl st in the 3 ch of ch6 (this forms the 4th tr of that set). Fasten off. I start this round in a corner as it looks neater to me, but you can start in any chain space, and adjust the pattern accordingly. This round is pretty much a basic granny triangle pattern.  round 6 ROUND 7: Using colour number 6, 1 dc in every stitch and ch space from round 6 to form border. (I use a standing dc for the first stitch here too). 3 dc in each corner space. Join with sl st to the top of the first dc. Fasten off. round 7 And you're done! The finished triangle might be a little wavy along the edges, so you can block it into a neater triangle if you like. My crocheting is quite tight, but if you are a loose crocheter, you might be able to skip the ch 1 between your granny clusters to make a neater triangle. Experiment, and let me know how you go! When I have enough triangles to make a garland (mine are usually between 9 and 11 triangles long, but that is totally up to you), join them with dc along the top. I use two to three rows of dc. joining the triangles If you want to add tassels to your bunting, I have a tassels tutorial that might help. I would love to see pictures of your finished triangles!

One of my goals for 2013 was to start building my vintage digital media library here on Livin' Vintage. I have a plethora of vintage paper relics and it's time to start digitizing them, share them, and build my online digital library. I'm starting with this sweet pattern for a felt duck and dog. I scanned them ages ago and can't remember which magazine I took it from -- I'm thinking a family circle maybe? Regardless, they are cute and would make a perfect DIY gift for the vintage loving mama in your life! I can't wait to share more!
