Lilo and Stitch (Lilo's top)

bead placemnt picture

Sydney's Lilo top from Lilo and Stitch movie
aug 2002

Need:
Red worsted weight yarn
contrasting felt
6x9 mm pony beads several
H hook

Row 1: Ch 60, dc in 4th chain from hook and in each chain across. (58 dc)

Row 2: Ch 2, turn. Dc in same stitch. * skip 2 chains, 3 dc in next stitch, * across to last stitch. Dc in last stitch. (ch 2 doesn't count as first st. (56 dc = 18 shells +2 dc's)

Row 3: Ch 2, turn. Dc in same stitch, dc in first space, dc in each dc across but also do a dc in the space before last dc too. (58 dc).

Row 4: Ch 2, turn. Dc in same stitch, dc in each across. (58 dc)

Row 5: Rep row 2.

Row 6: Rep row 3.

Row 7: Ch 1, turn, sc in same stitch, * ch 2, sc in next stitch, * across, sc in last stitch, fasten off. weave in ends.

Finishing:
cut 6 strands of Red yarn to use for ties mine are 24" long. Fold first tie in half in first corner pull the loop thru and put the ends in and pull tight, this should make 2 ties in the corner, do for the other 3 corners.

Fold the top in half to get the center. you will do the ties in sc's to each side of the center.

so now you have 6 areas and 12 strings for beads.

Beads:
add as many beads per string as you like but make them equal on the strings. In the picture I used green and purple..Sydney's favorite colors and it went with her grass skirt and leis. The beads are for decoration and weight on the strings. I have a picture of the center top bead placement I did.

To make the top, for the kids to wear, you add felt to the inside. I did mine in contrasting felt to show the stitching. You can make it washable by sewing the felt on. Mine was hot glued to the top, but you can even use fabric glue. Hope you like it.

Octopus Cat Toy

Jan 2004
Need:
worsted weight yarn and G hook or sport weight yarn and B-1 hook (the smaller one will make a smaller octopus.)
2" circle of plastic canvas, I used a 3" and cut 3 hole rows around and cut the center cross out for adding things to the toy.
needle to sew it up
stuffing for the head, (can be extra yarn pieces, catnip in a cloth, stuffing for toys, jingle bells)
I am using catnip spray for this toy but you can add it inside the toy.

To make it a toy with a helpful hand to make it move, I would use a yarn string, a washer to secure it inside the head, and a stick to make it one that can be like the feathers in the store...Will show a picture of that one soon.

Directions:
Ch 5, slip stitch to first ch to form ring.

Rnd 1: Ch 3, 11 dc in ring. Slip stitch to 3rd ch of beg ch 3. (fisrt ch 3 is first dc) (12 dc)

Rnd 2: Ch 3, dc in same st, 2 dc in each stitch around. Slip stitch to top of ch 3. (24 dc).

Rnd 3: Ch 3, dc in same stitch, * dc in next st, 2 dc in next st, * rep around, slip stitch to top of ch 3. (36 dc).

Rnd 4: Ch 3, dc in next stitch and around, slip stitch to top of ch 3. (36 dc).

Rnd 5: Ch 3, dc in same stitch, dc in next 8 sts, * 2dc in next st, dc in next 8 sts, * rep around, slip stich to top of ch 3. (40 dc).

Rnd 6: Rep Round 4. (40 dc).

Finish off but leave enough tail to sew it around plastic canvas circle, If you want to add jingle bells, or catnip in cloth do so before finishing off. Once the catnip wears off(if you put it in) you can spray lightly with cat nip spray. once sewed together, weave in ends.

Rnd 7: Attach yarn to the post of any dc in rnd 6, ch 1, sc around post, and around each post. slip stitch to first sc. (40 sc).

Rnd 8: ch 1, sc in same st, 3 dc dec in next 3 sts, ch 27, sc in second ch from hook to last ch.(first leg), * sc in next 2 sts, 3 dc dec in next 3 sts, ch 27, sc in 2nd ch from hook to last ch, * around, (last one will be 1 sc and slip stitch to first sc. Finish off and weave in ends...

I added the stuffing at the end and used a hook to push it thru the hole at the bottom of the circle...This toy can be washed, but I would not dry with heat in the dryer, I would have it on fluff, because of the plastic canvas in it...and if you make it for someone as a gift, please add my website to the card and please let them know about the cat nip spray and about the dryer as it will melt from the heat.

Hunter's Square

Hunter's square/washcloth...
December 2003

I made the example out of worsted cotton as a washcloth but you can make a square for exchanges out of worsted weight yarn.
It came out to 5 1/2" for me but I crochet very tightly, so it may be a 6" square for someone who crochets loosely.

Rnd 2: Slip stitch to space between 2 dc's, ch 4, *dc in next space, ch 1, * around. Slip stitch to 3rd ch of beg ch 4. (12 dc, 12 ch 1 spaces)

Cobweb Duster

aug 2002
Need:
small amount of worsted weight yarn
crochet hook size H
and a latch hook (but can do without it if don't have one)

The duster ties to the end of a mop or broom handle.

Ch 5, join to form ring.

Rnd 1: Ch 1, 10 sc in ring. Join to first sc with a slip stitch.(10 sc)

Rnd 2: Ch 2, sc in same stitch, 2 sc in each sc around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the ch 2. (20sc) The ch 2 is the first sc.

Rnd 3: Ch 2, dc around. Slip stitch to the top of the ch 2. (ch 2 is the first dc here).

Rnds 4-8: Rep round 3.

Rnd 9: Ch 2, hdc around. (ch 2 is the first hdc here) slip stitch to the top of the ch 2.

Rnd 10: Ch 2, dc around. slip stitch to the top of ch 2.

Rnds 11-14: Ch 1, sc around, slip stitch to the first sc.

Rnd 15: Ch 2, hdc around. Slip stitch to the top of the ch 2.

Rnd 16: Ch 1, sc around. slip stitch to first sc. Fasten off.

Finishing directions: cut some yarn in 4"lengths. You will latch hook them to the top rounds of the duster...You can do as many or as little as you want...In the example, I did about 4-5 rows on the duster..
If you don't know how to latch hook, you can tie the yarn to the duster and knot it on.

then cut a yarn about double the circumference of the duster and weave it thru Rnd 15. This will be the tie to hold it on the pole.

you could put some fabric glue on the inside to keep the yarn that is ties or latch hooked on the duster to wash the dust and cobbies away...but you can rinse it off and let dry too.

Hope you like it.
