(Original design by Daphne Mah - 1999)
Materials used :
- Tulip Steel hook #2 (1.5mm)
& # 3 (1.3mm)
- Minlon Family - pink
- Minlon Family - white
- Sewing thread - pink
- 1/4" width satin ribbon
- pink
- scented potpourri (wrapped
in scraps of netting material) - method
Instruction :
(make 2 pieces)
Using hook #2 with pink
Minlon thread, make a loop and into this loop, work as follow :
Rnd 1 : Work (4ch, 3tr-cluster,
5ch), then work (4tr-cluster, 5ch) 7 times.
Sl st to 4th ch to join.
Rnd 2 : Ch1, sl st to next
loop, ch3. Into same loop, work (2dc-cluster,
ch2, 3dc-cluster, ch2).
*Into next loop, work (3dc-cluster, 2ch) twice. Repeat from * around.
Sl st to 3rd ch to join.
Rnd 3 : Ch1, work (sc into
next sp, 5ch) around. Ch2, dc into 1st sc to join.
Rnd 4 : **Ch1, into next
loop, work (1dc, 1ch) 5 times, sc into next loop. Repeat from **
around.
Sl st to last dc of Rnd 3 to join. Fasten and break off yarn.
Weave in loose ends.
To make up :
Align the 2 pieces wrong
side together, with front facing. (place wrapped potpourri in between
these
2 pieces).
Rnd 5 : Using hook #2 with
white Minlon, join both pieces with sc into 1st sp of 5dc-shell.
Ch5, work (sc into next sp, 5ch) around. Ch1, hdc into 1st sc to
join.
Rnd 6 : Ch5, dc into next
loop, ch2, work (dc into next loop, 2ch) around. Sl st to 3rd
ch to join.
Rnd 7 : Ch1, work (sc into
next sp, 10ch, dc into 4th ch from hook, 1dc each into next 6ch, sc into
next sp,
sc into next dc, insert hook into 3ch-sp from behind of 7dc-strip just
made, yo, pull yarn through)
around. Sl st to 1st sc to join. Fasten & break
off yarn. Weave in all loose ends.
Weave in ribbon between
dcs of Rnd 6. Tie bow at meeting point of ribbon.
To
make potpourri cover :
Cut 2 pieces of 'netting'
(or fabric) about the size of sachet to rnd 4..
Using sewing thread of same
colour as fabric and hook #3 (or suitable size for the thread used),
crochet around the edges
of the 2 pieces together with (sc, ch1) around. Stuff with
potpourri and
sew up opening. Fasten
and break off thread. Weave in loose ends.
Note :
3tr-cluster
*yo twice, insert hook into
loop, yo, draw yarn through st, (yo, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook)
twice,
Repeat from * twice, yo,
draw yarn through 4 loops on hook (3tr-cluster made)
4tr-cluster
*yo twice, insert hook into
loop, yo, draw yarn through st, (yo, draw yarn through 2 loops on hook)
twice,
Repeat from * 3 times, yo,
draw yarn through 5 loops on hook (4tr-cluster made)
2dc-cluster
*yo, insert hook in next
st, yo, draw yarn through st, yo, draw through 2 loops on hook.
Repeat from * once more.
Yo, draw yarn through 3 loops on hook.(2dc-cluster made)
3dc-cluster
*yo, insert hook in next
st, yo, draw yarn through st, yo, draw through 2 loops on hook.
Repeat from * 2 times.
Yo, draw yarn through 4 loops on hook. (3dc-cluster made)
