Seed Stitch Camera Case

Image
I love the texture of the seed stitch! This case is designed to fit a digital camera, you can very easily add onto the chain to make it larger if needed. It uses "seed stitch" so it has a great texture! My camera is about 4 inches wide x 2 1/2 inches tall x about 3/4 of an inch thick. I know not all cameras are the same exact size so I left as little extra room for different sizes to still fit comfortably.

This is a super easy clutch, it works up pretty fast. A great instant gratification project! You can use 2 colors (like I did) or just do the whole purse one single color, whatever you prefer. Enjoy! :) Sweet and Simple Clutch Ravelry page for this clutch - add it to your library!   G hook Worsted weight yarn, not sure how much I used but it wasnt much..maybe about 100 yards st = stitch sts = stitches ch = chain sc = single crochet hdc = half double crochet dc = double crochet ch 37, hdc in the 3rd ch from the hook and in ea ch ch st across (ch 2 counts as hdc, 36 hdc) ch 2 (counts as hdc), sc in next st (not the very first st) and in each st across, the very last st will be into the 2nd ch of the previous row beginning ch 2  (36 hdc) repeat the last row until piece measures about 9 inches switch to "flap" color...

Dots and Dashes Bolero/Shrug

This is a super easy bolero/shrug that you can adjust to fit any size ! I love figuring out simple, fast and most of all easy patterns so I'm so excited to share this with you all! It is full of eyelets so it is light and airy, I love eyelets and I keep trying to figure out more fun ways to use them. Measuring: Figure out how far down your arm you want the shrug to go, measure from that spot across your shoulders to the same spot on your other arm. That is how wide you need to make your rectangle. Measure around your arm in that same spot, this will be how tall to make the rectangle. You may want to add a half inch for comfort and stretch. If your yarn is not one that gives easily or stretches than you may want to add 1 inch. If you follow this pattern exactly than your piece will be about 25 inches long and fit a teen or petite/small woman (around 100 lbs or less) . But you can make it in any size with adjustments. To adjust the size you want the number of chai...
