Photo Tutorial on How To Make Interlocking Loop Stitch in Crochet

 I just published a tutorial on how to do interlocking loop stitch in crochet.  In this example, cuff bracelet,  (pattern) it was done in stripes so that when looped together the blue loops would be over the red stripes and the red loops over the blue. 

 In this cuff bracelet (pattern) the loops are every other in color and make nice long lines.

 This cuff bracelet (pattern) the loops are made with beads. (slide bead, ch-1).


I don't want you to think this stitch is only for jewelry.  In this example (pattern) the Tab Top Curtains use three colors and the interlocking loops make stripes.

Enjoy!

Here is a great photo tutorial on how to make a "fabric" with pop tabs and chain stitch in crochet. It's fairly easy to do.


I used this tecnique when I make the Pop Tab Envelope Purse. As you can see from the photo the purse needed to be linned but you can still see clearly the pop tab "fabric".

I also used it to make part of this Pop Tab Monkey.
It would be great to use in other totes and purse styles as well as maybe in a vest or scarf.

As soon as I get the video posted for the tutorial I'll let you know!

How To Make Raised Stitches In Crochet





Here is a link to the tutorial on how to make the raised stitches to make this heart sample.

This raised stitch heart tote is a free pattern found here.
It began life as a heart place mat, but I decided it looked too pretty to stay inside the house and I turned it into a tote by adding a bottom and handle. It still make a lovely place mat!


This is a detail photo of a baby afghan I used the stitched on.

This is a 12 month size baby dress with the raised stitches.
I'm beginning to think I need to go beyond a heart when designing. I did a word baby afghan once that was love, hugs, kisses--I'll have to find the photo for that one. I believe that design was sold to a magazine.
