Crocheting

My very first crocheting attempt was to make a sakura following online instructions.

I searched Youtube for tutorials on the various stitches required on the pattern; going back and forth between the pattern and the Youtube videos! Trying to learn 4 to 5 crochet stitches in one go was quite a challenge for me! I finally got the hang of it on my fourth attempt!

The pattern I used was from here. I used pink yarn for the inner petals, and a baby blue/baby pink/white mix yarn for the outer petals.

With my new found confidence on the basic crochet stitches, I then moved on to something more useful like a hair scrunchy as well as a little heart just for fun. :)

I then ventured into the world of headbands, making up the headband strip as I go and added a rosette to make it girly. :)

I am currently working on a bunch of newborn headbands & beanies for a family member. Will post photos of them when they are done! :)
