Crochet belt

Crochet belt made for my son. Pattern is simple scs made in back loop to get the ridge pattern. Made holes wherever required. With Laura knitting cotton I embroidered the diamond shaped orange and light brown pattern.

I also used the eyelet fitting tool to fix the eyelets in the holes.

Crochet hairband

Crochet hairband made with red heart and anchor no.20 thread. Length is 17 inch. Made 4 rows of popcorn stitch and a single green leaf pattern to balance it out. Joined the ends by twisting twice and then made a small flower to hold the chains.

Crochet tabla covers

Finally attached the doilies to felt backing to make the covers.

Crochet yoke

I made this irish Crochet yoke for my daughter's frock for her 2nd birthday. The flowers were crocheted first. I used my own patterns for the flowers. After the flowers and leaves were ready I pinned them to the cloth cutting then to the cushion.

While making the net I made a chain at the lower side and then slowly extended the net connecting the flowers and giving the shape of the cutting. Always pin the net as you progress so that it doesn't become loose.

Finally after stitching the frock , yoke should be hand stitched to the frock.
I am very happy with the outcome especially because it is my first attempt at irish crochet. I also followed some youtube videos for making the net. You have to hold your hand  horizontal and then crochet. It was a little tough but a great experience.
