Double-sided Watermelonia Flag Keyring Crochet Pattern

I created this pattern for you to put on your keys and show your support!
I made my first flag a few weeks ago and loved it so much I knew I needed to make more. I'm part of a local solidarity movement (as this cause is very close to my heart) and we recently sold these at an Open Mic to raise money. They were flying off the shelves like hot cakes along with the Watermelon Brooches. 
You are very welcome to sell your own versions of this if you are donating the money to people in need.

You will need:

3.25mm hook (or similar)

5g each DK yarn in green, red, black and white (or other suitable yarn for your hook)

Tapestry needle


Top tip for seamless colour changes:

Before the final [yarn over, pull through] change to the next colour. This ensures the top of the stitch doesn’t distort the colourwork

Starting with green, ch21

sc into second sts. This is the bottom right green square on the chart below.

Follow the chart to the end of the row, ch1, turn work, sc in the opposite direction following the row above on the chart

Continue to end of chart

Sew the bottom shut with green, the side with red, the top with white, and add a loop when tying shut for a metal keyring. You may chose to stuff the keyring with scraps which should be done before sewing the last seam.

Attach to your keys to show support for Watermelonia! 🇵🇸

Extra Thick Chrimbo Socks Pattern

These weren't originally designed to be Christmas sock. The star motif was inspired by an old Fair Isle jumper and the foot was just made of all the same colours. It's entirely made of yarn from stash: whatever colours that clashed enough to be noticeable from a distance. My actual goal with these socks was to create a design that was twice as thick as a regular DK sock. That's why every round has some type of fair isle colourwork: The floats pad out the sock. Mum in her new favourite socks If you've been following my patterns you will know that my mum has Raynaud's and needs the extra material to keep the warmth in her fingers and toes. You can check out the last pattern I made for her here . This pattern uses 5 colours. Try to make them all very different so the pattern will stand out and not blend together. A great way to test if they are going to blend together is to take a picture of all the balls of yarn in a black and white filter. Anything that has the same ...

Romney Mittens Pattern

Named after the yarn used, I spun this Kent Romney into a heavy Aran yarn last year to made a jumper, and this is how I made use of the scraps. The contrast colour is a natural Jacob (also handspun). This of course can be made with any yarn from commercial to handspun. Anything that fits the gauge will do. The sample is a gift for my mother and so this pattern is designed with a small hand in mind and may not suit a man. Though if you are confident knitter you are welcome to experiment changing the stitch counts to fit your intended hand. The pattern repeats are very simple and easy to extend over a wider stitch count. Adding length can also be done by simply repeating the chart as needed. Gauge: 16 stitches per 4 inches You will need: 6mm DPNs or circulars Tapestry needle Stitch marker Abbreviations: MC - main colour CC - contrast colour st(s) - stitch(es)  R - round k- knit m1r - make one right ssk - slip slip knit *Pattern starts here* Using the main colour, cast on 24 sts and ...
