Rabbit's Pouch

I’ll just study for now; I can learn when I’m better.

I asked mom what she wanted me to crochet and she said she wanted a cell phone bag. My goodness, her cell phone is ginormous. It can fit a passport and some! It’s going to be mailed along with a surprise gift for my grandparents for the Lunar New Year.

Don’t mind the messy post-swim hair and dirty mirror...

I went through 3 blogs and 2 youtube videos to figure out the primrose stitch and none of them were exactly clear. Here’s my attempt at expressing it in a chart and hopefully it’s helpful. Just keep in mind that your 3 double crochets go in the gap underneath the 2 slip stitches instead of in them.

Both alternate between single stitch and slip stitch but the differences are very obvious. My husband’s vest looks a lot denser and more grid-like while my scarf is lacier.

The husband wants a vest he can wear to work. If I were lazier, I’d use worsted yarn, but the man is a furnace. Sock yarn would be more versatile, but I’m not looking forward to the exponential increase in stitches...

Sniffly. I lost my headband. I made this while listening to this semester’s batch of lectures and falling in love with biomechanics.

The back side of the star stitch actually looks really cool.

Sock yarn is getting easier now.

Here’s the flower from my bag. I hope the chart is clear enough. I made a point of drawing arrows and colouring the chart based on their layers (brown, orange, green, blue) because reading charts in the round is always a pain in the butt for me.

Star stitch for my grandparents. Any guesses on what this might be?

By the time this is posted, I will have finished my last exam for this semester. Time to start making stuff for my family. Have a merry break! 

Sock yarn is difficult. I keep on making my stitches way too tight or miss stitches. Practice always helps. 

Second try plus a flower. Not bad?

If you use Tumblr for your study supplements, please keep in mind that sup/inferiorly, it’s not that accurate. With a few obvious exceptions, I’m more concerned about what’s med/lateral here. 

Owlet crochet ends here. Thank you for your patience.
