Crochet Crocodile Stitch Bags

I've made several crocodile stitch bags.


This is a purple and yellow crocodile stitch tote, it is fully lined and has a zipper, this was the first crocodile stitch bag I had ever made, I also made a crochet handle, since then I'd made the rest with fabric handles and I have found that I prefer it over the crocheted one!


 
This bag was made for my grandma, It was a surprise gift for her since she was coming to visit me. She ended up loving the bag. I made 2 fabric covered buttons, to add a little touch of detail. I made the handles longer than I usually would since I knew that's how she preferred her purses. Its fully lined and has a functional zipper.

 
This bag was made for my instructor, as a gift to show how much I, along with other students appreciated her. I recycled one of my mom's old scrub tops and used it for the lining. I had a little issue with the eyelet fabric getting bunched near the zipper. I used some small hand stitches to try and fix it. Normally I would just take it apart but I was strapped for time as I was giving it to her the next day!
 
 This yellow and white bag was made just to try and complete to project. I had other ideas for it but didn't like how it was turning out, so I set it aside for a little while, once I had made those other bags I went back to this bag annd finished the bottom, found some fabric I liked, made the zippered lining, handles and fabric covered buttons and finished up the bag.I'm very pleased with it. Though I have yet to get this bag to sell, It is smaller than all the other bags.
This is a 4th of July bag, Red, White, and Blue star burst/firework pattern. I made 2 fabric buttons for the bag as some added detail. There are two handles, a zipper, and it's fully lined, so none of your goodies will fall out.
In this bag, I integrated pearl beads into the stitches, the lining will the blue. Still in progress!

Crochet Dishcloth and Hanging Towel


 Crochet dishcloths!


Source

 These are a bunch of towel toppers! Jar covers I made for my sister for Christmas!

 This is a Christmas gift for my mom. I used this pattern. I changed it a little. My clothes are a bit smaller, and my towel was finished off a bit differently.

 These are some crochet toppers I made for my kitchen!

Crochet Jar Covers

 This set is 6 matching hanging towels, that go with 4 different sized jars that have covers. It was a Christmas gift for my sister, 2012!

 These 2 jar covers were made for my sister once again. She just loved her Christmas gift, she wanted a few more to use when they drink from their jars!

I love to Jazz things up a little, so I figured the crochet jar covers would give my kitchen a little bit of change, and if I wanted I could do seasonal Jar Covers. :) I made a set of 3, the 3rd which doesn't have a photo it similar to the all orange one, but it has a single yellow stripe near the middle, along with a yellow bow.
 I was trying to find my reference to the jar cover, but cant seem to locate it. Its real simple. Crochet a circle, working in rounds, using jar to gauge the size. I did the popcorn stitch around the top. The bow is a simple chain stitch, then weaved in.

Hello Kitty Goodies


These are 2 Hello Kitty Hats I've sold. One was made in 2012, and the other was made in 2013.

Here we have a HelloKitty pot holder and a HelloKitty granny square hat. The actual HelloKitty came from someone else, I just made some grannies out of it. I got the links here for anyone interested. 2011



This is a Hello Kitty Ornament! Next time I make one I need to use a smaller hook, so the stitches aren't so large looking. 2011

These were 2 different Hello Kitty dolls I made, one was for my sister in-law, the other was for my cousin, both were made for Christmas. 2011

Blue Hat with Matching Arm Warmer


I used some recycled yarn from a sweater. I have 2 arm warmers and the matching hat. I just free styled it, no pattern used.

Pumpkin and Fall Leaves


Halloween pumpkin, and Fall Leaves. Got one of the pumpkins off the net, and made the other with help from the pattern, and the Fall Leaves I also got from the net.
