Crochet covered stones 4-6



I finished these all up, so I'll just post them all at once =) Original post explaining the reason for these stones is here.



This is stone 4. The pattern is here- it's called the pinwheel doily. In case it's not obvious, I just started at the beginning and continued until it was large enough to fit the stone-I couldn't fit an entire doily on there, could I?



Stone 5 is the floral star doily, a free pattern download from Ravelry (you must be a member to access this).



And stone 6 is the sunburst doily, with some modifications-I tossed the pattern after the first couple of rows, and just did some treble crochet with sc between.


I hope the folks receiving them enjoy them, and I can't wait to see what I get in return. I'll be sure to post it for everyone's enjoyment and inspiration.

Crochet covered stone 3



Keeping up with the stones, here is the third. I have 3 more to make. This one is the beginning of the spider doily (click for free pattern) This worked a little better than the 2nd stone, since it is more circular. Now, off to pore through the millions of free doily patterns for the 4th stone!

Crochet covered stone 2



It takes a little more finagling when not using the already prepared crochet covered stone pattern. I wanted to make each stone different, so I found this pattern for a snowflake doily for stone 2. What do you think? Do you prefer this or stone 1?

A break from the monster quilt-crochet covered stone!



If you're sick of seeing monsters, today's post is for you! I joined a yahoo group that is specifically for swapping nature table items (don't know what a nature table is? here's a great explanation) After debating many things to make for my first swap (the theme is summer), I decided on crochet covered rocks. I didn't have the materials for other things I wanted to make, and all this took was some cotton crochet thread, and rocks from my backyard! I followed the pattern here for this stone, and am going to attempt to improvise something a little different for each stone. It was pretty easy going, until putting it on the stone, and that took a little while, as I had to rest between hand cramps! What do you think?
