Cowichan style sweaters have always inspired me, and I always wanted to knit one for myself. So when I saw this modernized version of an old <b>Mary Maxim</b> pattern, I purchased it as a kit from the Mary Maxim website back in 2016. It is not available as kit any more, but you can still purchase the pattern from <a href="http://www.marymaxim.ca/books-patterns/patterns/sweater-patterns/adult-reindeer-jacket-pattern.html" target="_blank">here</a>. It is designed for the bulky yarn weight and uses four yarn colours: grey, black, off white and red. There are different <b>sizes</b> available from S to XL.<br />
<br />

The pattern itself looks like a graph and uses the <b>fair isle</b> knitting technique (colours are switched at the back). The sweater consists out of five pieces in total. It took me over a year to knit it (with a lot of pauses). Then about two days to put it together and weave in ends.<br />
My sweater turned out to be very <b>oversized. </b>I followed the instructions for size M, but it turned out to be more like XL.<br />
I am still very happy with this project: it was fun working on it and boy! was I happy to finish it! I haven't knitted any sweaters for myself since I was in high school, so it was nice to work on something like this again.<br />

This bulky crochet cowl is fast and easy to make - I was able to crochet one in half an hour using a super bulky yarn (#6). I made it using a slightly modified single crochet stitch (it looks like cross stitch hence the name), but the result was very impressive! The crochet cowl is simple, yet rich in texture. It is unisex (can be worn by both women and men) and great for gift giving. This pattern includes a video tutorial on how to make the cross stitch single crochet.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Fall is in the air and if you love crochet accessories as much as I do why not make these crochet boot cuffs? They can be worn over the boot for shorter boots and inside the boot for higher boots. You will find a free crochet pattern below. I made them using a crochet technique called 'slip stitch into back loops'. This technique makes your crochet look like knitted ribbing! Garments made using this stitch have </span><span style="color: #4c1130;">rich texture and stretch nicely</span><span style="color: #4c1130;">. This technique can be used for crocheting wrist warmers, coffee cup cozies, phone sleeves, you name it! These quick and easy crochet projects make great Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers.</span></span></div>

Summer 2015 has been long and busy in my
house. I welcome fall with a new design – this Basic Crochet Ear
Flap Hat Pattern in 7 sizes which is a warmer version of my <a href="http://mangotreecrafts.blogspot.ca/2015/02/free-basic-beanie-crochet-pattern-all.html">Basic Crochet Beanie Pattern</a>. The latter pattern got a lot of support in the
crochet social media community, and I want to thank all of you who
used it, tagged me on Instagram and commented on my blog about it.</div>

<span style="color: black;">In this short video I show and explain how to crochet a Cluster Stitch. (Written explanation following). </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">To
work <span style="color: red;"><b>Cluster Stitch </b></span>– YO,
insert hook in next ST, YO and pull up a loop, YO and draw through 2
loops on hook, YO, insert hook in same stitch, YO and pull up a loop,
YO and draw through 2 loops on hook, YO and draw through all 3 loops
on hook.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Before I start with the actual pattern,
I would like to mention one great advise from Sarah at Repeat Crafter
Me about how to join rounds when crocheting a hat:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Always start your rounds in the same
stitch as your chain.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Always join your rounds to the first CL
ST, NOT the chain.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Your last stitch should be in the
stitch before your chain.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="color: black;">If
you follow this advice the seam of the finished hat will be invisible on the right side of the hat. </span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Measure and cut 12 -24 yarn
pieces each about 3 ft long. Depending on the amount of yarn pieces
used braids will be thinner or thicker. If you want to use more then
12, but less then 24 pieces, you want to make sure the number of
pieces can be divided by 3.</span></span></div>

When I first saw <a href="http://littlecottonrabbits.typepad.co.uk/knitting-patterns/2013/08/a-pattern-for-a-bunny-girl-in-a-dotty-dress.html">this amazing pattern from Little Cotton Rabbits</a> I immediately knew that I need to knit a little bunny or two using it. So I purchased this pattern last fall and started knitting. I wanted to make two bunnies: a bunny girl and a bunny boy for Christmas. And I was too slow and did not finish this project until now - just in time for Easter :-)<br />

It's all about Easter knitting and crochet projects in my house today. I have been playing with some yarn in pastel colours and posting pictures on Instagram when I got a couple of pattern request for this pretty square motif.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglbjG50SBLsIB59ldZXgb_1lnu8gW0ObLCAr6okLdS9HBpiRv5v2eRq0_H5ZI0hgtN3CET0X_cWz2Ps9pH6GZZBRpdqBP_QINriEgiugimV5m5D1vPd6gbmfyo3EB2pqOPQm_IZuxrwWo/s1600/DSC_0542.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglbjG50SBLsIB59ldZXgb_1lnu8gW0ObLCAr6okLdS9HBpiRv5v2eRq0_H5ZI0hgtN3CET0X_cWz2Ps9pH6GZZBRpdqBP_QINriEgiugimV5m5D1vPd6gbmfyo3EB2pqOPQm_IZuxrwWo/s1600/DSC_0542.jpg" width="424" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I found the original pattern on Ravelry and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/665mf-cotton-neat-motif">here</a> is the link to it. However I must say that this pattern did not work for the yarn and hook I was using: the motif turned out too crowded with stitches and won't lay flat. So I tweaked the pattern and reduced the number of double crochet stitches in the first round and I made this photo tutorial.<br />

Who doesn't like nesting dolls also known as Babushka or Matryoshka dolls? I certainly like them a lot. I designed this crochet Easter egg Babushka doll to fit a large size plastic Easter egg.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: purple;">Materials:</span></u></b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Worsted weight acrylic yarn in two colours ( I used Caron Simply Soft in <span style="font-size: small;">Watermelon and<b> </b>Chartreuce)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Hook G (4mm)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Larger size plastic Easter egg (3.5" high)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Tapestry needle, hot glue gun</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Felt in colours: white (for face), baby pink (for cheeks), and black (for hair)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Buttons, regular sewing thread and needle for embroidering eyes and mouth </span></li>
</ul>
<u><b><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;">Abbreviations:</span></span></b></u><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">SC - single crochet</span></span><br />

<br />
<u><b><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: small;">Crochet pattern:</span></span></b></u><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I crocheted the two egg parts separately and then sewed them together. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-size: small;">Top part of the egg:</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>

<li><span style="font-size: small;">Sew buttons to the front of the bottom part of the egg.</span></li>

<br />
<u><b>Hat: </b></u><br />
<br />
Round 1: With white colour CH 4. Cl ST 10
times in 4th CH from hook (or in magic loop). Sl ST in top of CH 4 to complete round.
(10)
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

around. Join with Sl ST at top of CH 3. (20)
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

I got inspired by the American girl
doll of the year 2015 Grace Thomas and by the upcoming Valentines Day
and created this <u><span style="color: red;">crochet beret pattern</span></u> for American girl dolls. It
can also be worn as slouchy hat.<br />

<u>Yarn used:</u> Vickie Howell Bernat Cotton-ish. This yarn is a
blend of cotton and acrylic, it is heavier than regular acrylic or
wool yarn and gives the finished garment a nice drape. Berets shown
in photos were made in colours “Coffee Filter” (light brown),
Crimson Twine (red) and “Cotton Candy” (pink). Any light worsted
weight/DK yarn would work for this project.<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">For
the </span><b>snowflake</b><span style="font-weight: normal;">
appliqué I used <a href="http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/crochet-snowflake.html">this
great free pattern</a> by Attic 24. </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">I
made only two rounds of the snowflake, so it is not too big.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I left a long tail
and sewed the snowflake to one side of the hat. </div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
To attach the hair
cut about 14-16 strands of yarn that are about 18-20” long.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Secure strands (two at a time) by
looping them around the bottom single crochet edges where you want
your braid to be – I suggest using the same side where you sewed
the snowflake appliqué. Then add more strands above the bottom edge
strands. Braid yarn, tie bottom of pony tail with another strand of
yarn – I used an aqua piece of yarn.</div>

Thank you very much for your support of my <a href="http://mangotreecrafts.blogspot.ca/2014/11/ice-queen-crochet-hat-pattern.html">Ice Queen Crochet Hat Pattern</a>. I appreciate all your questions, comments, tags on Instagram and shares on Facebook! Thank you very much again.<br />
<br />
I also got asked about the elf on my Facebook profile picture, if I could publish more photos of her and share the pattern. So here we go: meet Lily the Christmas Elf! She spent most of the last year in my Christmas storage box, but a couple of weeks ago I took her out of it, and now she is doing silly things over the night, just like any elf on the shelf.<br />
<br />
When I saw <a href="http://www.yarnspirations.com/lily-the-christmas-elf.html">this free pattern from Yarnspirations</a> about two years ago I found it so pretty, so I knew I NEED to make one! I used Lily Sugar and Cream yarn as the patterns suggests and my favourite 2.75mm hook. The pattern calls for bigger hooks, but when making dolls I prefer to crochet really tight, so that the polyfill can not be seen through. <br />

I modified the pattern a little and made her hands and legs longer. She is about 16" long. I was not very happy with the pattern for her head: it turned out to be egg-shaped while I would prefer it to be round. Otherwise she turned out great! My kids love her and so do I.<br />

Since movie Frozen and queen Elsa are
very popular in my house, my neighbourhood and my country, here is my
version of the Frozen Elsa inspired crochet hat. Almost every little
girl that I happen to know likes the pretty Ice Queen with her long
white braid and her magical ice powers...<br />
<br />
*Hat shown in picture is a 3-6 Years size on a 6 year old model.*<br />
<br />
Updated February 2015: I added two more sizes to this pattern: 7-10 Years old, and 11 Years old - Adult. Enjoy! </div>

To attach the hair cut about 30-40
strands of yarn that are about 2 yards long. I suggest wrapping yarn
around some piece of furniture (I used a chair).

Secure strands (two or three at a time)
by looping them around the bottom single crochet edges where you want
your braid to be – I suggest using the same side where you sewed
the snowflake appliqué. Then add more strands above the bottom edge
strands. </div>

Fall is about pumpkin everything. So I could not resist and crocheted this little pumpkin. I used <a href="http://www.petalstopicots.com/2012/10/little-pumpkin-crochet-pattern/">this free pumpkin crochet pattern</a> for my inspiration.<br />
<br />
And I knitted this little pumpkin hat for a baby girl:<br />

I started crocheting this baby blanket about ten weeks ago. This was my first ever motif project, and as you can see, it took me quite a while to finish it. I have never made an afghan or anything out of squares before, but I got so inspired by <a href="http://dada4you.blogspot.ca/2014/03/primavera-flowers-granny-square-tutorial.html">Dragomira's blanket</a> that I knew immediately - I need to make one too!<br />
<br />

<br />
<a name='more'></a> I crocheted 36 granny squares using Caron Simply Soft acrylic yarn and a 2.75 mm hook. It measures only about 2' by 2' (65x65 cm), but even making it this small was quite a challenge for me. And by challenge I mean it was hard to make these squares again and again :-)<br />
<br />
This blanket will be a gift for a baby girl that my friend is expecting. <br />

A friend of mine is expecting a baby girl in December, so I am busy knitting all kinds of pretty baby garments: a crochet baby blanket (I posted about it <a href="http://mangotreecrafts.blogspot.ca/2014/08/work-in-progress-baby-blanket.html" target="_blank">earlier</a> and it's almost finished! Can't wait to show you the finished blanket), baby booties and baby hat.<br />

I made all the pieces with Caron Simply Soft which is 100% soft acrylic and is not scratchy or allergy causing. But I found the booties not to be warm enough for winter, so I made an extra pair out of 100% wool from Knit Picks (and they are super warm and cozy).<br />

For the hat I did not use any particular pattern, but I found these two free patterns online that are similar: <a href="http://www.viridian-hue.com/blog/2013/2/12/golden-pear" target="_blank">this Golden Pear Hat</a> from Viridian Hue and <a href="http://pwaknits.blogspot.ca/2012/11/i-am-back.html" target="_blank">this Pixie Love Hat Pattern</a> by PWA Knits. I seem always to be modifying patterns that I use, so I started with the Pixie Love pattern (but I started with 56 instead of 70, as I felt 56 will make a perfect new baby size hat).<br />

<br />
<br />
I started with a ribbing instead of stockinette stitch. I did not want my hat to be too pointy, so I made the k2t parts in every row at the top of the hat instead of every third row.<br />

As for booties I used <a href="http://www.yarnspirations.com/baby-s-booties-189015.html" target="_blank">this free pattern</a> from Yarnspirations as a guideline, again with some light modifications.<br />

That is it for knitting news for today.<br />
<br />
As for blogging news: I am expanding my social media activity and have recently joined Instagram. I find it very fun to be there. I post pictures of my projects in progress there and I would love to see yours! Please follow me on Instagram at #mango_tree_crafts. I am going to put an Instagram button at the top of my blog too.<br />

Have a great week!<br />

<br />
Fall has arrived here in southern Ontario, and we already had a couple of cold and rainy days. So when a lady on my local Facebook group posted about similar knitted slipper boots recently and her post got more then 100 comments, I got so inspired that I needed to make them.<br />
<br />
I knitted them with Red Heart brand bulky yarn. <br />
<br />
I used <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/non-felted-slippers" target="_blank">this free pattern by Yuko Nakamura </a>to make the slipper part. And I used <a href="http://garnstudio.com/lang/us/pattern.php?id=6198&lang=us" target="_blank">this free pattern by Garnstudio</a> to knit the cuffs.<br />

<br />
<br />
The good thing about them is - they would fit any size from pre-teen to ladies size 9 as they are very stretchy. I added two chocolate colour buttons as a little finishing touch. Let me know how you like them :-)<br />

Ukrainian style preserved tomatoes</div>
I am feeling very excited about my blog post today :-) It is a recipe of Ukrainian style preserved tomatoes (with vinegar, sugar and salt). <br />
<br />
Almost every mom and baba (grandma) in Ukraine makes these in summer. I have been making these Ukrainian style pickled tomatoes for three years now. My family loves them, and there is never enough for the winter.<br />
<br />
I make these at the end of summer when I can get a bushel of really nice roma tomatoes. I got mine from a local farmer this summer.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I had my recipe written on a small piece of paper, and I was afraid to lose it. When you use a recipe once a year, it might get lost so easily. So I thought to myself: I should put it in a recipe notebook, or in a recipe box, or in a recipe-something. But the thing is - I don't have a recipe notebook or box; I look up most of my recipes online. And then I knew it - I should put it online, and then hopefully I will never lose it! :-)<br />
<br />
So here it goes: <b><span style="color: red;">Ukrainian Style Pickled Tomatoes</span></b><br />

<br />
1. Wash jars and lids thoroughly.<br />
<br />

<br />
2. Wash the celery and cut it into 2" (5cm) celery sticks (leave the leaves).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3. Wash red hot peppers and cut them into 1-1.5" (3-4 cm) pieces. Peel the garlic cloves.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrMDd_5M4VmuMP4D8h0Mcv5cZI7H_83a2p47m_4Rqvs-85qokifwdJwNPsqWOwDY81_vql3eBt0fnVNlPq7lNdu7K6it3GGA59RbZFO0rf9ChGqpVWCtyRVZksKVvkr3PHrxfyIwLgarA/s1600/IMG_4081.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrMDd_5M4VmuMP4D8h0Mcv5cZI7H_83a2p47m_4Rqvs-85qokifwdJwNPsqWOwDY81_vql3eBt0fnVNlPq7lNdu7K6it3GGA59RbZFO0rf9ChGqpVWCtyRVZksKVvkr3PHrxfyIwLgarA/s1600/IMG_4081.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
4. Sterilize the jars: you can boil them (if you have a pot that is large enough) or sterilize in a dishwasher. I sterilize mine by placing them upside down in a large canning pot with a wire rack and some water. The water boils, and the steam from it sterilizes the jars. I leave them there for about 5 minutes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
5. Place the jars on your counter top and add ingredients (be careful as the jars will be very hot). I add <b><span style="color: red;">into every jar:</span></b><br />
<br />
Two garlic cloves<br />
Two bay leaves<br />
Three pieces of celery<br />
One piece of hot pepper<br />
And whole black peppers and mustard seeds - about this much:<br />

6. Now it is time to put tomatoes into jars. I make lots of holes at the bottom of each tomato using a sharp fork so their skin doesn't crack when contacted with the boiling water. I put some more celery sticks into jars to fill in the spots between tomatoes.<br />

<br />
7. Boil about five litres of water (I use another large pot for that - a stainless steel one) and fill the jars with boiling water (I use a measuring cup for that).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

8. Let them stand and cool down for about 15 minutes and pour the water back into the empty stainless steel pot (I cover each jar with a small sifter so my spices stay inside).<br />
<br />
Add to the water in pot:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: purple;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">15 Tablespoons of sugar</span></span> </li>
<li><span style="color: purple;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">9 Tablespoons of salt</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">24 Tablespoons of vinegar</span></span></li>
</ul>

<br />
9. Place the pot with marinade on stove top and wait until it starts to boil. Place the lids in a separate small pot and boil them to sterilize.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
10. Let the marinade boil for about 3 minutes and pour it into your jars leaving very little space (about 3 mm) on top. Take the lids out of boiling water and put them on.<br />
<br />

11. Place the jars upside down in the box (or on your counter top, or on the floor) and cover them with a blanket (they have to cool down slowly).</div>

12. Remove the blanket in about 24 hours, put the jars back right side up and store them away from sun light in a cool and dry place. </div>

We usually start opening them in November. They taste great with mashed potatoes and any roast meat, chicken etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You have to eat them using your hands :-) </div>

Hold a tomato in your left hand and make a little hole in it using a fork with your right hand. Peel the skin and bite!</div>
