Adult Wrist warmer

This is about 9" long. It is made with a chain of 51, then single crochet in 2nd chain from the hook. From the 2nd line, all single crochet are done only on the back loop of each stitch, this makes it look like knitting ribbing, this stretches well. So one can make it about 2" smaller than the breadth they want. In this particular one, I've given a slit of 1" about 3" from the top. I made the top part a bit long, as it will cover most of the other fingers also, but still help you to hold something with your fingers in case you want to study or work !

Crochet- wrist warmer, warm earband

This is a wrist warmer with a slit at 2" from the top, so that one can put the thumb through it. It is a free size, made in single crochet, each row having single crochet only at the back loop, so it gives a rib look like in knitting, this makes it expand.It is 8" long.In the picture, you can see the slit on top. This can be made in one color or like double color like what I've done, or in whatever color one chooses. With his as the fingers are out, one can work easily.

This ear band is 3" broad & 7 1/2" long. In this too, I've made ribbing with single crochet on the back loop of each stitch, so that it can stretch well.I've made this with 4 rows of black & 2 rows of white. Then in the end, as I didn't cut thread after changing color, as I carried in next rows, so once the desired length was reached, I made single crochet along the full length on both sides, so it covers the wool that was carried over to next rows.This also gives a better look to the project.

crochet backpack

Crocheting something for my granddaughter makes me feel happy & forget all my pains & feel that life is worth living. This backpack I made specially for her, as she loves bags. Thought as she has joined girl guides, it would help her to take small knick -knacks in it, easily hanging it on her back ! The first picture is the final look, as to make the bag sturdy, I made the handle double, then changed the color of the top string.

round bows for hair

This is my idea to fashion one's pony/ plait with these round bows. As this is my grand daughter's favorite color, made the 1st in green. She can tie her plaits with these !
