Crossed Cable Tutorial

I notice a few crocheter having trouble with my pattern Simple Cable Beanie, especially when it came to rnd-4 (where the Crossed Cable start). So i did this tutorials and hope it can help you to understand the pattern better. :)


For the 'crossed cable' i use in the pattern is worked by chain 1, skip one stitch, making front post stitch, chain 1,  then going back and make front post stitch around skipped stitch.

Step 1 - ch1, skip first st/dc, fpdc in next stitch.

Step 2 - ch1, fpdc in previously skipped stitch

That its, one Crossed cable made. Yeay!! 

 There's another tutorial you can refer in Crochet Spot for better explanation and clearer pictures. But in that tutorials the Crossed cable are made by using 4 stitches and fptc (front post treble crochet) technique.

Happy crocheting friends !!!!

What I've been Doing Lately

While waiting for my testers to finish their testing, this is what I've been doing lately; a granny square and a shawls . The shawl pattern is been request by a friend of mine, and currently i am working on it. Even though  i'm not sure when i will finish writing the pattern, since it quite difficult compare to the beanie/hat pattern but i won't give up. I manage to write up to row-30 and i will continue to write a few more rows. 

The granny square is what i love the most, its simple and easy to do. I gonna make a few more of  this square and joined them later. Will snap a photo once its finish!! ;)

Happy crocheting friends !!

Pattern Testers Needed

I just finish wrote out my Cable Beanie pattern and need a tester. I need to ensure that my pattern are easy to understand, so currently i'm looking for at least 3 crocheter to test the pattern. This Cable Beanie are totally different with my other Simple Cable Beanie (which someone had told me its not simple enough ), and i am  not recommend it for a beginner crocheter. 

So if you are interested to be my tester, just leave me your email address or you can email me at asmalina_omar@yahoo.com . Remember you are not allowed to sell the pattern , but you can sell the finished products made from it.
