Tulip garden

crochet kit for beginners

Tulip  shawl pattern

This is a very beautiful pattern that shows a tulip garden. You can have 3 sc rows as the ground. You can use light brown for the ground. Then a row of V stitches for the leaves. It should be done in green. Then the flowers. Flowers could be done in purple, yellow, or red. These are the 5 rows you have to repeat until you come to the needed length.. Crocheting by this way you can have a natural tulip garden as your shawl. This is a very easy pattern and you can finish it quickly.

The stitches we are using here are single crochet, V stitch, double crochet, and sets of 5 incomplete double crochets. I will explain how to do the stitch 5 incomplete double crochet.

To practice the tulip stitch, make a row of 10 single crochets and 3 more chains. Then yarn over and insert the hook through the 4^th ch from the hook and pull up the yarn. Now you have 3 loops on the hook then grab the yarn and release 2 loops, again insert the hook and grab the yarn and release 2 loops. Repeat this four more times. (Altogether 5 times.) Finally, you should have 6 loops on the hook. Release all the 6 loops together. This is called a tulip stitch.

Then make 2ch and skip 2 ch and make the 2^nd tulip.

Instructions: Make a foundation chain (count the chains when you are proceeding) according to the width of your shawl or scarf or the blanket. Then get the nearest value of multiples of 14, by adding some more chains.

Row 1:  Make 1 chain and make 1sc to the 2^nd chain from the hook. Then make 1sc into each of the chains of the foundation chain. Turn.

Row 2: Make 1 ch and 1sc to the 1^st sc below. Continue by making 1sc to the single crochets of the 1^st row. Turn

                               

Row 3: Make 1 ch and 1sc to the sc below. Continue by making 1sc to the single crochets of the 2nd row. Turn

Row 4: Using green colour, (these are the leaves of the flower) make 3ch and skip 1sc, to the next sc 1 dc, chain 1 and 1dc (V stitch)

Then skp 2scs and to the next sc make a "V" stitch. Repeat. At the end skp 1 sc and 1dc to the last sc. Turn.

A lacy scarf pattern

                                           A lacy scarf pattern.

finished Pattern 

A scarf is an essential item for some people to use in their day to day life. They use it for various purposes. 

For example, to protect your body from cold winter a scarf can be tied around your head and neck. Additionally you can cover your ears and half of the face to keep warmness in harsh cold. It is a must when you go out in winter. At night scarf is mostly needed  by   old women and men.

 In  warm summer it helps to protect your hair and head from dust and keep it clean. Most workers who are working in more dustier places use fabric scarves to keep there head free from dust. Some fashionable ladies wear scarves with matching colours to get an attractive look. 

I think this is an easy beautiful lacy pattern which you can use to make scarves or shawls or neck warmers. You can change the colour after each repeat. Then you will have a gorgeous multi coloured scarf or shawl. You can use different shades of same colour for each repeat to have a dainty look. If you want to have a simple one you can use only two colours alternatively for each repeat.

 If you want a soft silky scarf alpaca and soft acrylic yarns are better.

If you want a scarf to wear in summer again it should be soft and light. Acrylic

If you want a warmer one to wear in winter use wool and wool blended with other fibres. There are so many yarn companies like Red heart, Patons, Caron and Lion brand who are selling the needed yarns. Here I can give the link to purchase from Amazon. 

Acrylic yarns are beginner friendly and machine washable.

Instructions:

Take the needed width of your scarf/blanket/ shawl in inches or in centimetres. Make a foundation chain equal to that length. Then add more few chains to the foundation chain to become it a multiple of 10. Now you have the width of your scarf/blanket/shawl in multiples of 10.

Row 1:  Then make 5 chains and to the 5^th ch from the hook make 1dc. Then skip 2 ch and make 1dc, 2ch, 1dc, (V stitch) in the next chain. Then ‘’skp 2ch and then 1 dc, 2ch, 1dc (V stitch)’’ repeat from ‘’ to ‘’. After skipping the last 2 chains make 1dc, 1ch, and 1dc to the next chain. Turn

Row 2: Then make 3 ch, and make 4dc to the ch 1 space of the previous row below. Then a V stitch into the ch 2 space of the V in the row below. Then 9dc to the next ch 2 space of the V below. ‘’V stitch, 9dc’’ To the last ch 1 space make 5dc. Turn.
