Garter Stitch Coffee Sleeve - Free Crochet Pattern

Supplies:
- Worsted Weight Yarn (I used cotton)
- Crochet Hook US Size G6/4.00mm
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle

Instructions:
Chain 32, slip stitch onto the first chain made to form a ring. Make sure it fits around your coffee cup.

Slip stitch on each stitch around working on the back loops only throughout the whole project (do NOT join) until your coffee sleeve measures about 2.5 inches. 

With your yarn needle, weave in loose ends.

This is what the "right side" of your project looks like, but when you turn it inside out, it looks like a knitted garter stitch (first picture of this post). Awesome, right?!

Happy Crocheting!

Converse Slippers Pattern

I made these slippers for my roommate last year. She loves them! Someone requested I share the pattern, so here it is!

A couple of things first:  These are INDOOR SLIPPERS ONLY. They aren't suitable for going outside, and from what I've seen the white yarn won't clean up completely unless you bleach it, which will ruin the yarn. So only wear them inside, k?

Also, I haven't got around to sizing yet, so these are size 8 women's. If you adapt it to make a different size, I'd love to know! =)

How to read my patterns:

xst y:  x is the number of stitches to work into the next stitch. st is the kind of stitch to use. y is the number of stitches to work this way. (2sc 3 means make 2 sc in each of the next 3 stitches.)

sk - skip this many stitches.

2-x (dec):  2sc first st, 1sc x. If there's a dec after this instruction, replace the 2sc with sc2tog.

I Love This Yarn! White - 1 skein per pair

Scalloped Border Tutorial

How to crochet an easy scalloped border

1. Start where you are *or* slip stitch, then single crochet into same space.

Double crochet into second stitch from hook (call this stitch "home").

It should look like this:

Make six more double crochet stitches into "home".

After number seven, it should look like this:

Slip stitch into third stitch* from "home"...

...after which it should look like this (back where you started):

This gives you a very flat, even row of scallops.

To turn the corner: begin your scallop 2-3 stitches before the corner.

 (Yes, I know this takes a little planning or finagling.)

Start it just like a regular scallop, using the corner stitch as "home".

A total of twelve  double crochets will be made into "home".

Slip stitch into the third stitch around the corner from "home".

And there's your corner!

*Yes, I know that to be perfectly symmetrical you would slip stitch into thesecond stitch from home, but for some reason the scallops do not come out perfectly flat this way. Trust me. (Or try it yourself.)
