Charity Crochet Projects in Dubai

A while ago, I contributed to a charity group who make soft cocoons for newborn babies. They needed extra hands to finish an order and I volunteered to help their wonderful group.

It is a Facebook public group called Small and Might Babies Crochet that help and showcase crochet projects for charity. Here is their leaflet

A crochet pack includes 2 balls of yarn which are more than enough to finish the project, 1 4mm crochet hook and the instructions leaflet for the pattern. They also posted a tutorial video for the pattern on YouTube to make following pattern instructions easier AND they will be launching their own website soon, so stay tuned!

If you are interested in a charity project related to crochet, this is a great one because you have the option either to contribute by your crochet skills or just financially. It was a fulfilling experience for me to join their mission and I love their spirits.

Here is the finished look of my contribution

Baby Cocoons

Later, they add the buttons so this would be the final look

Just Cute!

Free Pattern Wrist Warmers with Stone Washed XL from Scheepjes

Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted here (again). It's really hard to get things in order, but it's best not to give up and just change tactics. I am taking my time to get my ducks in a row so that I don't lower any expectations. So today I am writing about one of my recent projects, which is wrist warmers with Stone Washed XL from Scheepjes. You have no idea how good this yarn is. It's made up of 70% cotton and 30% acrylic so it's so soft. I had no problem at all crocheting with it. Sometimes, with some yarn, the plies can get separated and the strand gets split as you crochet. So I would highly recommend Stone Washed XL yarn for beginners with a 5 mm crochet hook, which is the recommended size hook on the label too. I also love fingerless wrist warmers/gloves because you get to use the tips of your fingers as you type on your laptop or write with your pen. Basically, your hands would still function and you get to exercise your sense of t...

Quick Crochet Snood for Beginners with Chunky Yarn

Hey guys. Things have been crazy busy lately!! I have been in Ripe Market at Dubai Design District with YarnsDubai.com. I should post soon about this! I want to tell you about my chunky snood made by DMC Cocoon Chic yarn. I chose the Bleu Ciel color. You have to pay attention to this brand because there is a DMC Cocoon which is not shimmery. The texture is quite amazing and easy to crochet with. It's a blend of acrylic, polyamide, wool and viscose, so you literally feel wrapped with a cocoon. 😁 The pattern is available for FREE and there are many other free designs for crochet here . You should check them all out. I chose to make the textured cocoon because it's the easiest and I might end up teaching the pattern. This is the first time I also use a 20 mm crochet hook. I got it to try it just for this project from Lion brand. Can't say it was a great experience because it took me a while to get used to how I can comfortably hold it while crocheting. ...

Amigurumi: Super Mario & Snoopy

This post has long been overdue. It has been sitting in my drafts menu for almost 2 months now!! I continued experimenting with Amigurumi with even more projects. I did Super Mario using AB Hariri and Snoopy using Excel which is specifically designed for making Amigurumis. I have to say that my experience with Excel was far more better than AB Hariri. Excel is softer than AB Hariri, my hands wouldn't feel tired after finishing work. The finished project looks more neat as well because Excel doesn't have that frizzy fiber coming out of it. I found a couple of tricks to help with weaving in ends and attaching the different parts together. I think these resources are great if you are new to Amigurumi. You can check out this great Youtube channel called June Gilbank for Amigurumi tips and tricks for beginners. There is this particular playlist for right-handed people that contains all the basic tutorials and is all what you need to begin. Even better, the same playlist is...
