busy as a bee !

ALHUMDULILLAH, the past few weeks went very busy hence i was unable to update my blog. But now i have a list of interesting posts to publish, INSHAALLAH. Most of you who live where i live will be knowing about the summer festival thats going on here - global cultural fair by aramco, weekly fireworks, dolphin show, circus and interactive shows at the malls, etc. INSHAALLAH, i will be posting some of the event's pics/videos but for now here is some of my crochet work that i was busy in simultaneously. These are diamond shaped kiddy purses.

The back of the purses are made of normal hexagons which were made following no pattern, ALHUMDULILLAH. The flowery hexagons are crocheted using the pattern from colour in a simple life. i surfed the net for a simple bag strap but didn't find any so i simply crocheted a chain of desired length with two colors of yarn, turned, double crocheted all the way thru from the 4th chain and the mission for quick simple strap was completed, ALHUMDULILLAH.

two more of the hexagon series clothing.

These are the other two clothing items from the kid's hexagonal attire. This is a frock with the neckline of hexagons. The hexagons are of the same pattern used in the hexagon toddler shirt. Then there is a couple of dc layers, followed by v-sts all the way till the bottom and seven rounds of shell sts to finish off. This dress was crocheted for my eldest niece(s1), MASHAALLAH.

Its paired with this hair scrunchie, a big rose attached to a hair rubber band.

MASHAALLAH, this one is my favourite. Its all hexagons (again same pattern used) filled in with half hexagons at the bottom. The edging is of scanty fringes, giving it a cowboyish feel.

This is a readymade fabric head band to go with it. I attached a crocheted rose and it went perfectly with the shirt, ALHUMDULILLAH. This is a baby shirt which was designed for my third little niece(s3), MASHAALLAH.

toddler crochet hexagons shirt

This is a crochet hexagon shirt crocheted for my second niece, MASHAALLAH.

ALHUMDULILLAH, this pattern is an original. i alligned the hexagons with the shirt size and filled in the gaps by crocheted diamonds and half hexagons. The belt is a crocheted chain with yellow and black colour yarn held together while crocheting and then i joined the flowers at the ends of the chain by sewing. The pattern for the flowers can be found here.

i don't remember exactly where i got the hexagon pattern from but you can find a similar and much easier pattern for this kind of hexagons at http://oneloopshort.blogspot.com/2009/07/super-simple-hexagon.html.

This is a matching hair-ring to accompany the shirt. The pattern is an original, so can't link to anyone (another pattern added to my writing list).

Hexagon crochet blanket/afghan

I had started this project about a month ago, ALHUMDULILLAH the blanket turned out to be really good. This is an inspiration of my aunt's project (a similar kind of blanket/afghan) which she gifted to my mom. INSHAALLAH i will try to put up its instructions asap but being an amateur (almost eleven months crocheting) so not sure if i can write the exact details. Anyways here are the pics.
