Panda Set – Crochet Details

The spike stitch is used where colors change to give the illusion of fur. We’ve included information on how to make a furry panda bean bag using Fun Fur.

Everything in the pattern is surprisingly easy to make. We rate the pattern intermediate because of the foundation ch (sometimes called no foundation chain stitches) used in the leaves of the bamboo.

You may have seen this pattern before. It first appeared in Love of Crochet magazine Holiday 2014 issue. Now it’s available in the store!

Flame Beanies and Flame Mittens Crochet Pattern

Warm your hands and your noggin in these flame mittens and hats! This crochet pattern is sized for everyone in the family from newborn to adult men.

Flame-Hats-all-sizes Fair Isle crocheted in the round creates fun flame patterns.

Pattern Includes:

7 Hat Sizes – Newborn to Adult Men
5 Mitten Sizes – Newborn to Adult Men
Charted Fair Isle Flame Pattern

We are rating the pattern intermediate because it’s fair isle, but the basic construction of the hat and mittens are pretty easy.

What is fair isle? It’s a fancy term that just means you’re using more than one color in a round. This pattern uses up to three colors in a round, but most of the time the pieces use one or two colors per round.

The Flame Beanie Hats and Mittens are available in the store.
