Thank you so much for visiting my channel! I'm making an effort to post a video every week, so come back soon to check for more. I'm starting with easy, beginner projects and I will gradually post more advanced crochet projects.
Thanks again for watching!
Great explanantion and it turned out so cute!

Do you have a written pattern for this ? TIA
Yes, here it is....
Make flower...
R1 - Using 1st color, sc 10 in a mr. Sl st to 1st st to close the round. Cut yarn and weave in ends.
R2 - Join 2nd color with a sl st in any st. Ch 2, dc in the same st. Dc and hdc in next st. Ch 1. Sl st in next st.
**Ch 1. Hdc, dc in the same st. Dc, hdc in the next st. Ch 1, sl st in next st.**
Repeat ** to ** around. (5 petals) Cut yarn and weave in ends.
Make stem and leaves...
Join green yarn between the 1st and last petals. Ch 7. Sk 1 ch. In the next 6 chs, put one st in each ch as follow: sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st. Small leaf made.
Make large leaf...
Now chain as many as you wish or as needed to fit inside your book.
Ch 7 more. Sk 1, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st across, making one st in each ch. Turn your leaf so that the bottom of chs are facing up.
Sl st in the same sp as previous sl st. Sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st across. Ch 2, sl st in the same st. Sl st in the first st on the beginning of the leaf.
Cut yarn and weave in ends.
Thank you so much. Sometime we lose power up here in the mountains and this helps out a lot thank you.
This one seems complicated. First, the ring kept falling apart even after I followed the video. Then I get confused on where to put the hook in the circle, I can't "see" the holes, plus I'm worried to hook into where the tails were sewn in. Should I practice more before attempting this? :-(
Hi! I'm sorry you had trouble with it! I have another video for the magic ring that might help you here: ruclips.net/video/Wxdg1nz5BEU/видео.htmlsi=oicSY1DbZ26Ep-77 ....I know the yellow was really bright in the camera and it was hard to see the stitches. Sorry about that. The concept is the same for any project that uses a ring, working in a circle. So if you watch the video above and practice a little bit, I'm sure it will be a big help. Let me know if you need anything else. The magic ring took me many tries before I was proficient at it when I was learning it. But it's a wonderful tool to have in crochet.
Thank you so much for replying. Just one more question. Your yarn looks thicker than mine. Doing your other projects my items come out smaller. What type of yarn should I use? Tia!
@@user-bc4bf7sy2k ....I used medium weight (#4) acrylic yarn, not 100% sure exactly which one. I often use yarn like Red Heart Super Saver or Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn or something similar for projects like this. I like to use a 4.5 mm hook. I think that's what I used for this project. Keep in mind that if you use a smaller hook or yarn, or both, your project will always be smaller. Conversely, if you use a larger hook or yarn or both it will also come out larger. I will try to state what size hook and yarn I'm using in future videos. Thanks again for watching. 😊💖
If you’re new to crochet, I would suggest practicing on flat things like scarves, wash rags and dish towels first.
@@christinafidance340 I just saw your comment...Thanks for adding that! I totally agree. 😍
What size hook ?
Hello, you can use any size hook suitable for the yarn you're using, but I believe I used a G/6 4.25 mm hook. I use that one a lot. :) I should really be putting things like that in the description box. I'll try to do that in the future.
@@mycozygardencottage thank you 😊
