Yes. Daisies. One of my favorite flowers and when you place that vibrant blue sky in the background with these many tall hats of of soft, white petals...well, it's truly colors straight from heaven.I have gotten emails requesting a tutorial for a crocheted chatelaine. Hmmm. What to do? So grabbing bits of crochet thread and a scrap of fabric, I put together this
Daisy Chatelaine.
There are 23 steps, which seems a bit time-consuming, but honestly! it goes rather quickly. And I have also included a diagram for the pattern at the end of this post (because yikes! -- these written directions can seem veeeeeeeerry confusing.....)
(edit: for Sunny who emailed [and others just like me who n.e.e.d. an actual visual demo on how to make this beginning loop] ----> Teresa does her usual excellent job at this here.)

By not fastening off, you can continue with crocheting the cord to hang your chatelaine. I have seen many patterns for crocheting a cord -- but none as beautiful or versatile as Thata's. Here is her video showing her 'I-cord'.

And my first time at drawing a crochet pattern....so, yes, you must bear with this 'raw' drawing (where you can already easily spot the whited-out areas where I goofed.)
.
Okay. I am almost afraid to push the PUBLISH POST button --- just how many errors did I make in the directions??
.
Eek. Oh, well. If you find any, you know where to reach me.
.
.Are you thinking of how many different fabrics you have & how many different crochet thread options are out there?.....
Enjoy the endless possibilities of crocheting your own chatelaine!
This is beautiful!!! I will definitely be trying this for myself. The daisy was one of my mother's favorite flowers (she passed away in 1994) and I love to have them around to remind me of her.
ReplyDeleteI watched the video, too and enjoyed seeing how to make an i-cord.
You are quite talented and I'm so happy you share! *Ü* Thank you!
Oh no..I first saw this and thought how beautiful and then I thought oh no I hope my sister doesn't see this...too late. I just received an email from my sister "Yummy! Would this be too hard for you to make?"
ReplyDeletePlease stop the brilliance already, your killing me. My sister wants one of everything you make. :)
Beatiful post as usual.
Oh Dawn!! I love daisies too :D

ReplyDeleteWow, that is beautiful. Really, really pretty. Thanks so much for thinking of me, I'll be linking.

this is really beautiful, i love how delicate it looks!
ReplyDeletei've never crocheted anything other than 1 colour granny squares, i think i'll have to try this. thanks for the tutorial.
This is the most beautiful crochet tutorial I've ever seen, and I adore the project. So excited to discover your blog!
ReplyDeleteI can't for the life of me start this chatelaine! I did my own version of the ring and did the whole thing (your instructions were great!) but do you think you can go over how you started the ring? It might be the simplest thing in the whole project, but I still can't do it!

ReplyDeleteWow, that is beautiful. Really, really pretty. Thanks so much for thinking of me, I'll be linking.
ReplyDeleteSorry to have to tell you this, and you surely don't know this yet, but you have obviously been hacked, or rather 'Thata' has been perhaps, on the link to her I-cord, it re-routes to a SEX site with pornography on it, or at least it did it when I clicked on it today 4-13-15 at 4 a.m. I knew you'd want to know and get this link off of here. I've been browsing Indulgy and got her e from there. I did it 2X to make sure I wasn't 'seeing' things - Wow, WAS I seeing things - it's pretty raunchy, just letting you know!!!
