Overcasting stitch - How to make

How to join / sew granny squares together I

This is a good solution for joining grannies with an almost seamless effect, specially for dresses and sweaters. Lay the motifs out in the correct order with the right sides up. Working in horizontal rows, stitch the motifs together, beginning with the top row of motifs. Begin stitching at the righthand edge of the first two motifs, sewing into the back loop of corresponding stitches. Continue stitching the first two motifs together, making sure you join only the back loops of each edge together, until you reach the lefthand corner. Align the next two motifs, carry the yarn firmly across and join them together in the same way. For extra strength, you can work two stitches into the corner loops before and after carrying the yarn across. Continue joining motifs along row, then secure the yarn ends carefully at the beginning and end of the stitching. Repeat until all the horizontal edges of the motifs are joined. Turn the crochet so the unstitched edges of the motifs are now horizontal.

A brief History of Crochet

Crochet sampler 1885 Crochet is a versatile craft that involves creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn or thread using a crochet hook. While its exact origins are uncertain, crochet has a rich and fascinating history that spans centuries and continents. The exact origin of crochet is unclear, as early examples have not survived. However, it is believed that it was developed from Chinese needlework, and that it has emerged in the 16th century in Europe, particularly in France, Italy, and England. It likely developed as a variation of earlier needlework techniques such as lace-making and embroidery. Crochet gained popularity in the 19th century, becoming accessible to a broader range of people. It was initially a handcraft enjoyed by affluent women, but advancements in technology, such as the development of steel crochet hooks, made it more accessible and affordable.

Crochet, Vintage fashion and Recycling | Crochet, Moda vintage e Recliclagem

It's interesting to see how cyclical fashion is and how today we're back to Vintage fashion, to crochet and knitting on the catwalks, to the "granny squares" of our grandmothers, which were often used to make bedspreads with super colorful scrap yarn. My 84-year-old neighbor was showing me the other day a bag she made in flowered grannies, which she didn't wear because she thought it was out of fashion. I showed her how, after all, she is very current. She has already worn it again, proudly. ;-) This neighbor offered me a cloth bag that was recycled: she crocheted a square and sewed it on the cloth, over the advertising. And it turned out really nice. Such a simple pattern and at the same time so beautiful. It made me remember a beautiful white dress! Let new ideas come and new recycling. Crochet will never be out of fashion. --- É interessante ver como a moda é cíclica e como hoje vol

How to make a twisted cord | Como fazer um cordão torcido

Actually this is a beautiful and easy technique and I find it very useful for my knitting and crocheting work. I use it all the time for bikinis and tops. 👉Cut as many strands as you wish, depending on the width you like. Twist them together, each end in the opposite direction, fold them in half bringing the ends together and let them twist again. Tie a knot at each end. (Take note that you will fold the yarn, in order to calculate the lenght before cutting it. As an example, I usually begin with 5 strands and 3 meters lenght each for e bikini top - underbust). Esta é uma técnica que uso muito nos bikinis e tops que faço. É muito fácil e obtém-se um resultado muito bonito. 👉Corte o número de fios que considere adequado ao trabalho, dependendo da grossura desejada para o cordão. Torça-os juntos, cada ponta em sentido contrário, dobre-os ao meio unindo as pontas e deixe-os enrolarem novamente. Faça um nó em cada uma das pontas.
