iPod and Earbud Case - Free Crochet Pattern

     Since I received my iPod Touch, I have crocheted some accessories for it.  This is a case I made to carry my iPod, earbuds, and the iPod Loop whenever I am traveling with my family.  I also made a cozy that fits over the iPod with your protective case on it.  Today, I will be sharing the case pattern.

Easy Ribbed Leg Warmers- Free Crochet pattern

     Hi, everyone!  It's snowing here where I live, so there isn't much light for taking pictures.  I hope my pictures aren't blurry or grainy - I hate grainy pictures. :)
     Here is another free pattern I designed; Easy Ribbed Legwarmers.  Currently, I have only made one pair and I find them super comfy and warm.  I need to buy some pink yarn, so I can make new ones that I can wear to ballet class. :)
     This pattern can also be modified to fit differently.  If you want longer legwarmers, chain more.  If you want wider legwarmers, crochet more rows.

Materials 
Worsted weight yarn
5.5 mm hook

Directions (make 2)

Note: These legwarmers stretch A LOT.  When you try them on, they will feel VERY snug, but after wearing them a few times, they will stretch.  

Row 1: Ch 47, hdc in 3rd ch from hook, 1 hdc in each ch across, turn.

Rows 2-18: Ch 2, IN BACK LOOPS ONLY, 1 hdc in each st across, turn.  Fasten off at end of row 18. 

Sew long ends of piece together.  Weave in all ends.


I hope you enjoyed this free pattern!  Stay warm if it's snowing were you live. :)

Red Annie Dress for Stacie doll

     Happy Valentines Day! (a day early)  I'm posting a day early because I have a really busy day tomorrow, with no time to post.  Next week I will post on Saturday, don't worry. :)
     I have searched the internet for crochet outfit patterns for Stacie Barbie dolls, but I didn't find any patterns for her.  So, I decided to make some patterns for Stacie and post them here.  This one is the first and is probably my most favorite design ever.
     When I saw the new Annie movie, I was inspired to make Annie's famous Red Dress for Stacie.  I made sure to make the back part of the skirt longer than the front part, and I even designed shoes and a headband to go with it!  So, here is a crochet pattern for Annie's Red Dress that is specially fitted to Stacie.  Enjoy!

Super Simple Boot Cuffs

     These boots cuffs are super simple - and super stylish!  They work up quickly and it would be pretty easy to make them bigger or smaller.  I need to make some more in different colors for next winter. :)
