how to crochet easy bag charms - star, butterfly, & photocard holder (free patterns + video tutorial)


Hi everyone! These are the written patterns for my youtube tutorial. I'd love to see which one you'll make, tag me on instagram or tiktok @mahumcrochets

Mini star:

Make a magic ring (we're going to work in continuous circles so please use a stitch marker or bobby pin to mark the first stitch of each round, start the next round from the first stitch of the previous round)

Round 1 (total 5 st): insert 5 sc into the magic ring

Round 2 (total 10 st): insert 2 sc into every stitch

Round 3 (total 15 st): repeat *1 sc, 2 sc in the same stitch*

Round 4 (repeat to make 5 points of the star): insert in the same st *sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc*, then ss into the next 2 stitches

Slightly bigger star:

Make a magic ring (we're going to work in continuous circles so please use a stitch marker or bobby pin to mark the first stitch of each round, start the next round from the first stitch of the previous round)

Round 1 (total 5 st): insert 5 sc into the magic ring

Round 2 (total 10 st): insert 2 sc into every stitch

Round 3 (total 15 st): repeat *1 sc, 2 sc in the same stitch*

Round 4 (total 20 st): repeat * 1 sc, 1sc, 2 sc in the same stitch*

Round 5 (repeat to make 5 points of the star): insert in the same st *sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc*, then ss into the next 3 stitches 

Butterfly:

Make a magic ring, chain 3, insert a dc into the magic ring (this counts as your first cluster)

Repeat 7 times: chain 2, insert 2 dc into the magic ring

Chain 2 then slip stitch into the 3rd chain and fasten off

Attach the next color into the dc space (you can refer to the video tutorial to see which space I'm talking about!), start the following steps from the chain 2 space

In every chain 2 space: insert 6 double crochets

In every dc space: slip stitch

Slip stitch into the chain then chain 8

Fold the piece in half and wrap the chain around the center

Photocard holder:

Back piece - make a slip knot, chain the length of the width of your picture, crochet rows of single crochet till your piece is the same size as your picture, fasten off

Front piece - make a slip knot, chain the same number of chains that you did for the back piece, crochet 2-3 rows of single crochet (this is the bottom border), crochet rows (1 less than the total number of rows you need for the side border) consisting of 2-3 single crochet stitches (this is the first side border), fasten off the first side border, attach your yarn onto the other side, crochet rows consisting of the same number of single crochet stitches as the other side border (1 more row than the first side border to make the second side border), chain the difference to connect the second side border to the first, single crochet into the stitches of the first side border, crochet 2-3 rows of single crochet to make the top border (also work the stitches into the chains)

Slip stitch the front piece and back piece together

Happy crocheting & lots of love as always,
Mahum

heart cushion written pattern (continuation of my youtube tutorial!)

Hi everyone! Here's the written pattern for rounds 1-12 of my heart cushion cover. You can find the demonstration/steps for rounds 1-5 and  how to read this pattern and make the stitches in my youtube tutorial . Abbreviations: ch - chain / sc - single crochet / hdc - half double crochet / dc - double crochet / ss - slip stitch Please note that  the steps on ending each round and attaching a new color to your work  (ss + ch 1)  are explained with demonstrations in my youtube tutorial.

how to crochet a cute bunny | free pattern + video tutorial

Hi everyone! This is the written pattern for my YouTube tutorial . Please refer to the video for demonstrations if you're confused. This is a very repetitive pattern, so follow the same steps shown to crochet all the rounds. Once you're done, you can add some ribbons & bows to make your bunny look even cuter - happy crocheting! Note:  all the pieces are worked in continuous rounds, so don't forget to place a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round and track your rounds.  To make crocheting this bunny (and other amigurumi projects!) easier, I recommend downloading the  Row Counter app . I love using the counter to keep track of my rounds and the highlighter to easily find the steps I'm working on. You can import this pattern to the app and start crocheting!
