My crochet Christmas gift

December is busy day. Busy as in you don't have time to crochet, don't have time to go out, don't have time to post and don't have time to shop. I just sit all day in my computer and doing work. As much as I want to whine keeping busy means more money ^^... and more $. So I will just tolerate December's busy day and will enjoy my time next year.

This year since I'm busy too much I decided to crochet gift items but sadly I cannot crochet as much as I want so my gift is limited to those who are near my area and to those who I see everyday.

I crocheted bag, cellphone case, cute headband and wallet. The pattern I use is from Japanese book I bought last time. I am so happy with the book because most of my gift item patterns came from that book.

So below are the pictures and ready to wrap. Merry Christmas Everyone.

Crochet Pullover for Thor

Last Thursday, I challenge myself and wanted to crochet a pullover for Thor. I searched for inspiration and found one ( dino pullover from redheart ). So I grab my yarn from Ice Yarns Ply Luxury Superfine and used size 3 hook. I wanted a pattern that I can easily follow so I search my japanese pattern and found this.

I finished the pullover yesterday (sunday)  but haven't decided if  lalagyan ko ng sleeves. I asked Thor to  model it for me. He liked the top because it's soft and comfy. I notice that it is not long enough and I think kailangan lagyan ng pocket sa front, lagyan ng button sa upper part and dagdagan ng sleeves But I'm still not sure. Right now tinatamad pa ako and gusto ko din matapos yung coat na ginagawa ko. Hehe adik lang talaga.

Ang kulit lang nya talaga. Kahit kelan walang matinong pictures. hahahaha

Crochet top for me

Last week I made a Crochet top using a Japanese pattern. I got hooked with the design and finished the project in 5 days.

I use 5 50gm Ice Floss Spiral yarn in 5mm hook.

Here's the pattern I use for the top.

Note:

My friend Lorie told me to wear it and take pictures. I told her I don't want too. My arms are too big and I'm shy to pose. I will update the pictures tomorrow. I will ask my student to wear it for me.  =)

Crochet Japanese Pattern

I really love the crochet japanese pattern.

I print the pattern and for me it was easy to follow and understand because the  format is in diagram.

So now I will post my fave japanese pattern.

crocheted top

My niece asked me to make her a crochet top. She wanted to use it this coming holiday.
 That time I am making wrap/shawl for Thor and decided to use it for her top instead. 

After 3 days of crocheting I finally finished her top. It looks good on her and said she really like it. 

Here she is fitting the top I made.

I'm not sure about the yarn type but it's close to acrylic but yarn is soft like cotton.  

Here's the pattern I use for her top. It's a japanese pattern I got from a friend. 

I'm so happy that now I can finally make crochet top/ crochet dress other than hat and shawl. Finally I'm making progress and I'm planning to make more top/ dress in the future. =) But first I will make a scarf for my father. He's asking me to make him a scarf.
