Some time back I have purchased Anchor crochet cotton thread of size 20 and 40. But I didn't have a hook to use with that size of thread. Last week I have purchase crochet steel hook of size 1.50mm and 1.75mm from pony craft stores. First have a look at the threads and hooks.
I have planned a small project with that thread and yarn. After searching for patterns I have come up with a crochet collar. The pattern is from here. I find it a bit difficult with the steel hook to crochet. Now have a look at the collar.
I am planning to attach this collar in a frock which I am going to make with the dotted fabric in the background. I will come up with the frock in my next post. So do watch my space.
Happy Crocheting.
This is really good..... in vice versa i bought all needles but no anchor cotton thread... :)
ReplyDeleteNice collar!
ReplyDeleteNice collar!! I have recently made one with cream and pink but with anchor knitting cotton. Size 20 is fine to work with, I make doilies with it. But size 40 is very thin, I have made few mini doilies with it but I don't have patience for this thread...did you like size 40?
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice design for a collar. It will look charming on the dress.
ReplyDeleteDon't you find it hard to work for a long time with a thin hook? When I used to crochet, a long time ago, I often got muscle pain in the palm of my hand until I found a hook with a wooden handle.
Cute collar.. would look so good on that fabric!
ReplyDeleteit's lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe collar really match the polka dot fabric.Great work!
ReplyDeleteLovely collar.You'll get used to steel hook after a while.
