Who the Heck Crochets for the Garden??

When we finally moved to our dream yard, we started gardening for the first time in our lives. And we fell in love.
And, self respecting craft nerd that I am, I had to ask myself…
 
What the heck can I crochet for the garden?? Does anyone even do that??

 



Of course I thought of Yarn Bombing, which a did a little bit with some scrap squares on a hammock post. I will probably do more of that.


 
And I covered some plastic flower pots with crochet. I like the patterns I was coming up with, so I’d definitely like to finish that project.

 
And then finally, I came up with my favorite piece of garden art so far… I call them…

Granny Wheels!

 
(Please don’t call them mandalas okay? I just. I’ll get into it another time, but fucking no. A doily in a hoop does not a mandala make. Stop.)
 

I just love them! Such a sweet combination of like, an old wagon wheel and a piece of lace. SO pretty and perfect in my garden I almost can’t stand it.
 
I use a weatherproof nylon rope for the crochet, and attach it to a metal barrel ring. The whole thing is about 2 ft. across, so they are pretty hefty.
 
I’ve made a few now, but I still have materials to make more. I need more all over the place!! Ha ha.
 
So I will be making a tutorial for these for sure.
 
Super fun. I’ll see you there.

NEW *Creative* Beer Can Hat Tutorials All *NEW* Beer Can Party Hat Tutorials are Actually COOL! Okay. Carry on.   I'm going to attempt to share with the world my pattern for the coveted Beer Can Hat. Some years ago I started making these and spread them around to many friends and unsuspecting acquaintances. I believe they originated during the 70s cheesy crafts era, which I completely adore. Many a birthday party have I attended bringing a 6 pack of beer, a skein of yarn, a couple compact tools... and a few hours later, left the host with a special party hat and gift made right before his drunken eyes. Now YOU can be that fascinating craft nerd, amazing your friends at parties. Or just drinking and crocheting at home.  Al

Edge the Can Labels Basically, the cans will be edged just like a granny square. 5 dc into each corner, and 3 dc into each hole along the sides. For those who prefer a written pattern, here you go: Sl st into corner hole, ch 3 (counts as 1 dc). Work 2 dc into same hole. *Work 3 dc into next hole and each hole across. Work 5 dc into corner hole. Repeat from * around label, ending with 2 dc into starting hole. Sl st into 2nd of ch 2 from beginning.

Make the Base (Top):   I call this part of the hat the Base because that's where a hat usually begins. Crochet the Base of the hat from the Basic Hat Pattern . Work in the dc stitches as described until the underlined number is 4. You should end up with a nice circle that has 60 sts around the outer edge. Do not tie off. 6. Join the Base to the Crown: Hold the Crown and the Base wrong sides together with the labels facing you and matching up the stitches as you work. Sl st into any st at top edge of Crown, *insert hook through sa
