Have I ever mentioned how much I love Thanksgiving? You see...most people in my life know me as a crocheter, but they know me as a home cook first. Cooking is my salvation. It is my passion. It is my art form. So...I think it only seems logical that my favorite things to crochet are always food related. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, here I am in the midst of planning out the ultimate Thanksgiving menu, one that will ensure my entire family enter food comas immediately after consumption, and I thought I should share a really fun pattern with you guys! I cooked up this Turkey Purse pattern a few months ago when I was already dreaming of Thanksgiving and the marathon cooking I would get to do. It's a drawstring Turkey Purse, but I plan on also making one into a pillow. I'll just leave out the row for weaving in the drawstring, then stuff and sew that baby up upon completion!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I would also like to note that I studied many cooked turkey photos on google before deciding that this was indeed the proper set up for sewing on the wings and drumsticks. I don't want to admit how long I dedicated to making sure they were properly placed. Some of the pictures made it difficult to see the actual placement and I seriously considered making a turkey back in August when I was cooking up this pattern just so that I could be sure. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This purse is super fun and has become quite popular in my Etsy shop. As always, I encourage you to sell whatever you make from my patterns if that is what you want to do. Just please do not sell or distribute this pattern as your own and please use your own photos. If you feel inclined to share this pattern anywhere please share the link to this blog post and do not post the actual pattern anywhere. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This pattern is fairly easy without any special stitches, however I do need to mention that I do my HDC2TOG or HDC decrease stitch slightly different than normal. It shouldn't have any effect on the final product if you should choose to do a normal HDC decrease stitch. I just prefer my method to the regular because I feel like it gives a more uniform HDC look throughout whatever it is that I am making. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My version just has one minor difference than the normal stitch. It goes like so:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Yarn over and insert hook into next stitch. Pull up a loop. There should be 3 loops on your hook here. Insert hook into next stitch and pull up a loop. There should be 4 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 4 loops. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That's it. The only thing you're leaving out is a yarn over before inserting into the second stitch. The reason I prefer to do it this way is that it makes less of a bump. I might be the only hooker on Earth that thinks a normal HDC decrease looks too bumpy! It sounds silly, but I just think it looks better in the long run. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I didn't have any testers for this pattern because I poured over it myself for many hours to make sure it was correct, but I do realize I could possibly make a typing error. I've read through this blog post several times now and it all looks good to go, but if you do encounter anything that looks like an error please do not hesitate to contact me. I feel like the pattern is easy enough that you should be able to continue on regardless, but I don't want to leave possible errors up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">*Edited to add a little tip- When it comes time to sew the pieces onto my bird I like to "stuff" the purse. I put a few handfuls of polyfill into a ziploc bag and put it inside the purse. It helps me figure out the best placement when the turkey has that nice plump shape.*</span></div>

If you have any questions please feel free to ask here, but if you message my business Facebook page you will probably get a quicker answer because I don't always get blog comment notifications. </span></div>

That's why I thought I would tell you about a lovely little handmade link up over at <a href="http://www.kiserkraftshandmade.com/" target="_blank">Kiser Krafts Handmade</a>. It's a great chance to share your awesome products by linking up to four items from your shop (It has to be a shop on a selling platform, not Facebook or a blog.). It's also one of my favorite ways to network and discover new shops. Honestly, I spend a good amount of time each week just internet window shopping on Etsy and Storenvy. I love to see what other makers are passionate about, read about their shop stories, and add things to my ever growing list of items I think I'll simply die without. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I picked 4 items from this week's link up that I really, really love. </span><br />

I apologize for not posting this pattern yesterday as I had planned. My littlest guy has been sick, so I've been in Nurse Mom mode. It is a very time consuming job! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is the second donut pattern for you guys. These are made to resemble your cream filled type of donuts. My favorite part is doing the icing embroidery on the top! It's so fun! Am I easily amused or what? I'm thinking I may need to take a trip to Dunkin' Donuts soon and do a little research...for the sake of writing more patterns. I swear. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've made my donuts into pins, hair clips, and headbands, but there are a ton of other things you can use them for as well. These guys come out measuring just slightly over 2 inches. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a note- I used scrap yarn for the icing colors, but my donut color was Red Heart Super Saver in Buff.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As always, whatever you make from my patterns is yours to do with as you see fit. Sell pretty things, make gifts for friends, or go out and cover the world in crochet donuts! Just please don't sell or distribute my pattern as your own, and please don't use my pictures to represent your work. </span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It might not be apparent to you all just yet (unless you've checked out my Etsy shop), but I LOVE to crochet food! It is my favorite thing to hook up! I especially love to turn crochet food into hair accessories and pins. I have made a lot of fun pieces that are food inspired, but donuts hadn't made it to my hook until recently. I am so happy that they did because this pattern was really fun to design! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These donuts measure about 2 inches in diameter, which makes them super versatile. I made hair clips and a headband out of mine. You can sew them onto a hat, make a donut pin, and you could even make a bookmark or planner clips out of them. There is nothing these little donuts cannot do (except satisfy the donut cravings you'll get while making them)! They are also great stash busters as they require very little yarn to make them. So, break out all those little balls in your stash and put them to use!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I designed two types of donuts- with holes and without. Today I will share the donuts with holes, and I'll post the pattern for donuts without holes tomorrow. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used many different yarns for the icings, but for the light brown donut part of each donut I used Red Heart Super Saver in Buff. </span><br />

I know, I know. It is only July, but summer is flying by and before you know it it will be time for school shopping. So, if you have a shop you might want to start getting ready now. I know I am! I've been designing some new ear warmer and headband patterns and I can't wait to share them with you all!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This pattern is for a shell stitch turban headband. I made mine with cotton. If you are going to use acrylic I would suggest one that isn't too thick. I like to use Red Heart With Love often, but it was just a little too bulky to give this headband the delicate look I was going for. So, you may want to skip the RHWL for this one. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This pattern is a one size fits most. It should fit most adults. The shell stitch I'm using is in multiples of 6 (plus 2), so you may adjust your sizing that way or just change your hook size. I have a head circumference of 23 inches (I know, I have a big ol' bean!) and this headband fits me perfectly with stretch. You can also add rows on to make it wider if you wish. It's a versatile pattern and easy to work with.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Also, note that the second round will be worked on the opposite side of the chain from the first round. It is the only round worked this way. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As always, feel free to sell anything you make from my patterns, but you may not sell or distribute my patterns, or claim them as your own. Share the link to this post anywhere you want and as often as you want. I also ask that you use your own photos to represent your work. </span><br />

I was right! These make perfect best friend gifts, but I wouldn't mind just wearing them both myself. I did use felt for the peanut butter and jelly. It was easier to get the blobs of peanut butter and jelly into the shapes I wanted with the felt than if I had just crocheted them. I've also been using felt details on some of my hair accessories as a way to cut down on production time and thus cut down on costs for my customers. This pattern is super simple and super fast to work up! You'll have adorable hair clips in no time!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">R1- Chain 7. SC in the second chain from the hook. SC in next 5 chains. Turn. (6 SC)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Switch to your light brown color. Join in the bottom left corner of the bread. Slip stitch around the slice of bread. In each bottom corner put one slip stitch, chain 1, then another slip stitch. When you come to your first slip stitch of the round continue to put one slip stitch in the back loops of the previous round of slip stitches. Finish off. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I glue on peanut butter and jelly in heart or blob shapes. Then, I put a dot of hot glue on the back of the bread and glue all my ends down. It is much easier and neater (for me) than trying to weave them in. If I can find a way to avoid weaving in ends you bet I'm going to do just that! Cut a piece of white felt slightly smaller than the back of your bread and hot glue it on to further secure your ends and make your piece sturdy. Then, glue on your alligator clip (I also hot glue some felt onto my alligator clips.). Here is what the back of my clips look like. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Count 8 spaces from the left ear and join your yarn (see PIC 4). This is where your right ear will start. Chain 5, slip stitch into the second chain from hook, SC in next, HDC in next, SC next, slip stitch into the single crochet that your chain started from and start working on the opposite side of the chain. SC in first ch, HDC next, SC next, slip stitch into last chain. Finish off. *Tip* At this point I usually go ahead and weave in the ends that are on the ears. It gets them out of the way and makes the piece easier to work with. (see PIC 5)</span></div>

Slip Stitch into your starting SC and finish off (PIC 9). You can leave a long tail for sewing, but I like to sew my appliques on with sewing thread instead of yarn. I think that it looks nicer that way. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08790709590506649681noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553376516632521539.post-25467912404985369592015-12-09T13:42:00.001-05:002015-12-09T13:42:31.493-05:00Rebel Skein is evolving<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wait. It's December already? This has kind of been my life since I opened my shop up 3 years ago. I get so busy between the shop, family obligations, my daily household routine, and whatever else might be going on that before I know it a month, 2 months, a whole year has gone by and I feel like I wasn't even there for it. This realization hits me every few months...it's all going by too fast and I feel like I'm not getting where I want to go. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It started weighing heavy on my mind and I have been wrestling with what to do for some time now. After a lot of careful consideration I have decided that it is time for Rebel Skein to evolve because I'm not happy with where I am at right now. I love being a maker and having an indie business, but there are highs and lows. I love being crafty and I love to crochet, but I lose that crojo (Crochet mojo) so often these days. So, I had to sit and think about where I wanted Rebel Skein to go...and that is when I decided that it is time to close the shop doors and focus on my blog and writing patterns. That makes me happy. I have so many patterns, designs, and ideas written down or even just in my head, but I feel like I never have the time to get them worked out completely and shared with the rest of you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This decision is bittersweet. On one hand, I love having a shop and the little bit of extra income certainly never hurts. On the other hand, I never have enough time or energy to truly grow my business into that unstoppable force I always imagined it could be. Unstoppable force? Slow down, Kat, these are beanies. Yeah, well...I like to dream big. I've always been that way. I like to plan, and create, and master my skills. So, that is what I am going to focus on- the dreamer, the planner, the creator. Will I change the world one hat at a time? No, probably not, but I can make the world cuter one hat at a time! Let's just start there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There may never be a crochet super hero. I may never get called to the White House to save the world through my hooking skills. I won't ever win an Olympic medal in beanie assembly. I won't fill up stadiums of people who have come to see my crochet super talent in person. I'll keep training and preparing for all that. In the meantime, you can find me here on my blog where I will be working on posting patterns for all you lovely hookers out there! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And for all my customers out there thank you so much for 3 great years! You've fed my kids, warmed my home, and bought me the occasional bottle of wine! ;-) I'm so grateful for all that!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08790709590506649681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553376516632521539.post-13971353346620985192015-11-03T13:10:00.000-05:002015-11-03T13:10:56.151-05:00Chunky Newsboy Hat<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love bulky yarn! Do you love bulky yarn? It's so soft and warm, and works up quickly! I have so much bulky yarn in my stash, but never enough projects to use it on...so what's a hooker to do? I started coming up with some patterns of my own! Today, I thought I would make some hats. Here is the first chunky hat I'm going to share with you! This pattern is so simple, but the results are so chic! Stay tuned this week for some more chunky hat patterns!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used Loops & Threads Charisma for these projects. It is one of my favorite bulky yarns. This is a one skein project that takes less than an hour to make. The size fits approximately 22-24 inches and should fit most teen and adult women. </span><br />

Let me just start by saying that there is such a wonderful and supportive group of crocheters out there in this world. You'd think we'd all be cutthroat and competitive, but I've found nothing but love in the hooker community. I made a post in one of my favorite Facebook crochet groups for testers for this simple little pattern and the feedback and responses truly floored me. You hookers are simply the best! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday, I was trying to refine a pattern for a flower I made up several years ago. It wasn't working out for some reason, but the results inspired me to make this hair bow. Somehow my flower reminded me of hearts and I thought it would make a really neat hair bow. Hair accessories happen to be my most favorite accessories! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have had this bow tested by quite a few people and so far so good, but if you happen to have any questions please let me know. I would love to see your final results and what you use your bows on as well! I think they would work great on almost anything! Headbands, clippies, dresses, gloves...I could go on forever! I hope you all love this sweet little bow as much as I do! Happy hooking! </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hook Size- I used 4MM or 5 MM. (Or whatever size you want.)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yarn- Any worsted weight yarn. I used ILTY.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Notes- You’ll be working two loops. Any stitches not worked in or around the original loops will be worked into what I call the middle space. That is the part between the hearts. Don’t worry if that part isn’t quite perfect. You’ll be covering it with yarn later to make the middle of your bow. *If you do run into any trouble count backwards from your middle stitch in your heart. It should help you figure out where your slip stitches should be as well. </div>

I know, I know. Where have I been? Right? I am terrible about this blog. I am always saying I need to post more on my neglected blog. I have so many patterns that I need and want to share with you guys! I have a big problem with getting distracted and I pretty much have no concept of time. My other problem (and a problem that a lot of hookers have) is that I write patterns down in these random notes all over the place and they are in what I like to call Katonese...a language only I seem to understand. I'm pretty sure any of you who "wing it" and try to write down what you do know exactly what I'm talking about.<br />
<br />
Anyway, this one might not be some spectacular pattern, but I happen to love it. It's so simple and there are so many fans of The Nightmare Before Christmas out there so I need to share it. Please forgive my pictures. These pictures were taken long ago before I mastered the art of picture taking and editing (I'm still not THAT great at it, but I would like to think I have improved.).<br />

<br />
Here is the pattern:<br />
<br />
Jack Skellington Applique-<br />
<br />
H hook<br />
<br />
R1- Make a magic circle. 6 HDC in MC. Join with a sl st to first HDC. (6)<br />
<br />
R2- Chain 1. 2 HDC in each st. Join. (12)<br />
<br />
R3- Chain 1. 2 HDC in first st, 1 HDC in next st. *2 HDC in next st, 1 HDC in next st.* Repeat from * to *. Join. (18)<br />
<br />
R4- Chain 1. 2 HDC in first st, 1 HDC in next 2 st. *2 HDC in next st, 1 HDC in next 2 stitches. Repeat from * to *. Join. (24)<br />
<br />
Finish off.<br />
<br />
<br />
Eyes- Switch to a G hook.<br />
<br />
Make a magic circle. 5 HDC in MC.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mouth- For the mouth I make the long smile part first. Then, I go through and make 8 stitches across the mouth to hold it down and make it have the Jack Skellington smile look. Make a nose with this same yarn and tie off. You don't really have to worry about what the back of this looks like because you'll be sewing it on something and the back will be hidden.<br />
<br />
Sew onto whatever you like!<br />
<br />
*Edit* For anyone wanting the glove pattern that I used just follow this link <a href="http://www.hellospeckless.com/peasy-gloves-crochet-pattern/">here</a>. These are one of my favorite glove patterns to whip up some quick fingerless gloves and they are super easy to adjust size and length.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08790709590506649681noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553376516632521539.post-74269788171627059342015-01-02T15:01:00.001-05:002015-01-02T15:01:19.490-05:00Rainbow Owl Fingerless Gloves<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These rainbow owl fingerless gloves are pretty popular in my shop! I thought I would share this simple pattern. They are fun to make, and pretty quick. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0U3F5p1l-GUlJSVoU7fJiBRum8fmjKr8nZTf6wtDR5BskdCIHoPeqiSjdGASk2_K9dhJJ_a-Wcu_5x4US6Wk9St9INRieQt3TbyPVICGaCmy1TWZnbwqJSJgKa-rdZkG4r6di2JE8ufo/s1600/007+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0U3F5p1l-GUlJSVoU7fJiBRum8fmjKr8nZTf6wtDR5BskdCIHoPeqiSjdGASk2_K9dhJJ_a-Wcu_5x4US6Wk9St9INRieQt3TbyPVICGaCmy1TWZnbwqJSJgKa-rdZkG4r6di2JE8ufo/s1600/007+(1).JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would like to note why I use a row of single crochet as the starting row of each color change. I have found that it makes the gloves look a little more interesting, but also it keeps me from having to go back and weave in all of my ends from each color change. I crochet over the ends with the single crochet and they are perfectly hidden. You can crochet over the ends with other stitches, but sometimes the colors will still show through. With single crochet the ends never show through. I crochet over them for about 8 stitches, give the row a very gentle tug, and snip off the remaining ends.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I make these using a 5.5 mm hook. They are easy to change the size of by using a different hook size or adding/subtracting the number of chains you make, but I've found this size works well enough as a general one size fits most. They fit my 7-year-old son and myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I use red, orange, yellow, green, light/bright blue, navy blue, and purple. Also, note that the first stitch of each round will be in the same stitch as the joining stitch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Make two-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RD 1: Ch. 22 and join the chain. Careful not to twist it. Single crochet in each chain. (22 sc) Join to first single crochet with slip stitch and chain 2.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RD 2: Double crochet in each sc. (22 dc). Join with slip stitch and finish off.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RD 6: DC in first 9 SC. Chain 4 and skip the next 4 stitches. DC in the next stitch, and each stitch after. (There should be a total of 18 DC and a chain 4 space that add up to 22 stitches total.) Join with slip stitch and finish off. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Change to green and ch 1.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RD 7: SC in first 9 DC. 4 SC in the chain 4 space. SC in next 9 DC. (22 sc) Join with a slip stitch and ch 2.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RD 8: DC in each SC. (22 dc) Join with slip stitch and finish off.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Weave in any ends. (Hopefully at this point you only have the red and the purple to weave in because you crocheted over the other ends.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sew on your eyes and nose. Then, cut strips of yarn about 3 inches for the ear tufts and attach to gloves. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello out there! My name is Kat and I have a love for crafting! One of my most favorite crafts is crocheting, so I started a shop about 2 years ago and things sort of took off from there. My shop is called Rebel Skein, and because the main purpose of this blog is to share crochet patterns and tutorials with you all I thought it was appropriate for a blog name too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My abuela taught me how to crochet when I was 5 years old. As a kid, I would make doll clothes and pot holders. As I got older, I liked to make my own quirky accessories. I was always a little odd when it came to fashion...okay, I was very odd! My junior year of high school I dressed like an old man every single day for the entire year. I had a closet full of plaid golf pants, bright polo shirts, and Cuban guayabera shirts. There was another year where every piece of clothing I owned was shiny, sparkly, or fuzzy...that was an interesting year.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My shop and my kids are a full time job! I have 2 crazy, rowdy, goofy boys that keep me pretty busy. Eli is 7 and Evan is 2. I have an addiction to internet cat videos, and I listen to way too much 90's alternative music. I love sci-fi! Huge geek here. Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Doctor Who are among my favorites. I'm sure I'll be sharing plenty more about myself in posts to come, so enough about me for now!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let's get to the good stuff! The reason you really came here! The patterns! Today, I'm sharing a pattern for a deer head applique that I came up with yesterday. I encourage you to sell what you make from my free patterns, but don't sell my patterns or distribute them as your own. Please use your own photos as well. If you want to give me credit it is appreciated, but if not you're still okay in my book! ;-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can make yours bigger or smaller with different sized hooks. This would also make a cute reindeer if you added a red button to the nose area! I might make some Christmas hats like that myself. I sewed mine on with a needle and thread instead of yarn. It looked better that way. Happy hooking! I hope you enjoy! (I've had a few people test this pattern already and everything seems to be okay so far. Let me know if you have any questions.)</span><br />
