In the true spirit of the Holidays... I want to show some of the favorite December trends to possibly inspire some potential gift giving. Diy is something Redesigners know about, so why not show some of the fun projects for this fall. I love crocheting so I decided to show some really cute ideas to possibly make for your friends.
For the Crocheting fan (craftster.org).....Abbreviations used:ch= chainsc = single crochetst = stitchss = slip stitchinc = increase (do 2 single crochets in one stitch)dec = decrease ( insert hook into first stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, insert hook into the next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through the two loops on your hook)

Row 30: *Make 3 dc into 1 sc, then sc into next 2 sc*. Repeat * across. Cut yarn.
Repeat Row 1-25 to make top crust. Cut yarn.
Pie Filling Make 2.
Row 1: Chain 25.Row 2-5: sc across (24 sc total). However, every so often, instead of making a sc, make a bobble by making 5 dc in one stitch, but leaving the last loop of each dc on the hook and then drawing through all remaining loops at the end. Make bobbles random, make sure to make little clumps of them to look like the cherries are bursting out. Pop the ones on the "wrong side" out to the correct side.
Assemble the pie together and stuff firmly. Make sure you stuff the bobbles! I whipstiched the filling to the crust, then finished the piece by sc around the crust (make sc through both the crust yarn and filling yarn). This hides the whipstiching and also makes a slight overhanging lip of crust so that the filling doesn't bulge past it.
EnJOY YOUR PIE!
Crochet Apples
You will need:
red or green yarn for the apple
brown yarn for the stem
a green yarn for the leaf
size G crochet hook
stuffing
yarn needle
APPLE:
Rnd 1: Ch 2. Sc 6 into the second st from the hook.
Rnd 2: sc twice into each st (12 sts)
Rnd 3: *sc one st, sc twice in next st, repeat from * (18 sts)
Rnd 4-7: sc around
Rnd 8: *sc one st, sc2tog (dec), repeat from * (12 sts)
Rnd 9: *sc2tog (dec), repeat from * (6 sts)
Cut yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. Weave the tail through the remaining stiches and pull tight. Pull the yarn through the center of the apple and secure at the bottom to make the dimple. This will give it a nice, appley shape.
LEAF:
Rnd 1: Ch 2, sc twice into the second st from the hook, turn
Rnd 2: Sc twice into both sts (4 sts), turn
Rnd 3: Sc2tog across (2 sts), turn
Rnd 4: Sc2tog, cut a long tail, and pull the yarn through the remaining stitch
STEM:
Starting with a long tail, ch 8, then join the ends with a slip stitch. Cut a long tail, and pull it through the remaining stitch. This makes a nice little loop that can be threaded onto a cord as a charm.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew the leaf onto the apple. Position the stem, then pull both tails through to the bottom of the apple. Pull tight, and tie a nice, strong knot. Weave in the ends.
How do you like them apples! LOL I never get to say that
Now with some of the my favorite designs for this Fall as shown by Betsey Johnson's new 2008 "Prom" Collection.
