Free Crochet Pattern - Thick 'n Quick Fingerless Gloves
With winter approaching quickly, what better pattern for my first post but this! These quick and easy bulky fingerless gloves with optional thumbs and mitten tips provide the warmth of a mitten, while having the option to keep your fingers free when you need them! My husband loves them. This particular pattern is made for wrist size 8-9" around, but if worsted weight yarn is used instead they may fit smaller hands (untested; feel free to leave a comment how it turned out if you try it!). They use only variations of half-double and single crochet stitches, and I have provided a list of terminology used at the beginning of the pattern. Enjoy! Difficulty: Easy to intermediate Materials: Bulky (5) yarn Size J (6.0mm) hook, or hook to match gauge Stitch markers Yarn needle (2) 1" buttons Gauge: Approx. 9 sts/9 rows per 4" in hdc Finished Size: Fits wrist circumference of 8-9" Terminology: blhdc - back loop half-double crochet
Free Crochet Pattern - Plarn Laundry Caddy
Anyone who has ever lived in an apartment or other place that has no in-unit laundry can attest that lugging a full hamper to the laundry room/laundromat while juggling the detergent bottle and other things like coins and dryer sheets is a royal pain. What we wouldn't give for somewhere convenient to put those things so we can focus on the heavy hamper... Well, look no further for a solution, fellow laundry-luggers! This little Plarn Laundry Caddy will give you a designated space perfect for a 40-60oz detergent bottle, as well as a bit of extra room to slip in your coin pouch or dryer sheets, all without taking up space in your hamper. The pouch is also a great place to stash your clean socks or undergarments on the way back home, and when not in use you can just leave the pouch attached to the hamper until it's time to do laundry again.
