My mom recently celebrated her birthday, and I wanted to crochet her a buttoned cowl as a part of her gift! It is so special crocheting items for loved ones, knowing that they will wear them and always think of you when they do :) You might recall that I crocheted a Puff Stitch Scarf for my mom two years ago as well! Scarves and cowls have been a must recently during our cold Canadian winters as the temperatures have been dipping extremely low and any exposed skin could result in frostbite!
I had just recently crocheted my favourite baby hat, the "Shell Stitch Beanie" for a newborn when it occurred to me that using the shell stitch would be a great idea for a cowl! I LOVE doing the shell stitch, and the result is always beautiful. Thus, I excitedly began and crocheted a series of chain stitches, estimating how long I wanted my mom's cowl to be. Then I started doing the shell stitch across!
I wanted this cowl to be folded around the neck and secured with a button, so instead of crocheting in a circle in rounds, I crocheted it row by row, turning at the end of each row.
It is important to note when following the pattern that each shell stitch is worked in the Chain 1 space from the previous row below, NOT the space between the shell stitches.
This results in a beautiful pattern in which the shell stitches are stacked upon one another rather than being staggered across the rows.
The edges also have a pretty scalloped design!
For this particular cowl I crocheted 6 rows of these shell stitches. I then sewed on a very special button that we picked up from the Halifax Farmer's Market!
I also crocheted a cowl for a friend in this beautiful green colour and added a brown button from the same Farmer's Market! I love "Loops & Threads Cozy Wool" as it is so incredibly soft. My mom's cowl is in "Pewter" and the green one is called "Spearmint". I used one ball of yarn for each!
I snapped a quick photo of the spearmint cowl before it went off to its new owner!
This is my mom's finished cowl!
Here is the pattern that I made for this cowl:
Buttoned Chunky Shell Stitch Cowl (worked in rows)
Using a 10 mm crochet hook,
Chain 48
Row 1: In fourth chain from hook, dc (initial chains count as first dc), ch 1, 2 dc in same stitch. *Skip 3 ch, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in next ch* repeat from * to end (12 shells [each shell made of total 4 dc and ch 1])
Rows 2-6: Chain 3, turn. *2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc* in first chain 1 space. *2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc* in each ch 1 space till end (12 shells).
Finish off and weave in ends. Attach button towards left side of cowl (see pics above). Be sure to wear the cowl with the scallopped edges facing upwards!
[Finished cowl is 7" in height and 29" in width, using one skein of "Loops & Threads Cozy Wool"]
Here is my beautiful mom wearing her new buttoned cowl! She loved it as soon as she opened it! She particularly likes how soft the yarn is and how she can put the button through any hole of this cowl. It's also easy to wear since you don't have to pull the cowl over your head which can result in staticky hair!
I wanted to make a REALLY chunky buttoned shell stitch cowl for myself using some interesting yarn that Ryan found called "Patons Cobbles" at Michaels! The way that the yarn was segmented into little chunks looked really neat and we were curious how it would look in a crocheted piece. We bought a beautiful brown colour called "Moon Rock" (pictured below) and a gorgeous yellow colour called "Mustard Seed".
I decided to use the "Mustard Seed" colour for my cowl since I wanted to use this big, beautiful wooden button that we picked up in a cute little craft boutique in Paris two years ago. I think it's so neat when we buy buttons on our travels as each button reminds me of our special adventures. I love being able to use them in my crocheted pieces, and I had been waiting a long time to use this amazing find :) The brown button contrasts so nicely against the mustard cowl!
Isn't the texture of this cowl absolutely stunning? I love the unique look that the "Patons Cobbles" gives!
When worn under a coat, the cowl gives a very beautiful collared effect! It also helps keep my neck very warm too :) What a great way to be warm and stylish at the same time! It certainly is a statement piece that can help spice up any outfit! With the recent frigid temperatures, we dared not take any outside photos for this shoot- thank goodness we managed to snap some snowy photos when the temperature was still manageable with the Ribbed Pom Pom Beanie a couple weeks ago!
For this cowl, I used a 10 mm crochet hook and chained 56 initially, resulting in 14 shells. Using two skeins of this yarn allowed me to do 5 rows. This cowl was 7" in height and 40" across.

I crocheted another buttoned cowl for a friend using "Lion Brand's Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Yarn" in "Raspberry" (the same yarn I used for my "Long Double Crochet Cowl" from last year). We chose a beautiful gold button to contrast against the pink yarn. For this cowl I also chained 56 in the beginning, resulting in 14 shells. With one skein of yarn I could make 7 rows (dimensions: 8.5" in height, 32" across).
I crocheted a matching toddler cowl for my friend's daughter too! For this cowl I used an 8 mm crochet hook and chained 48 initially, resulting in 12 shells and 4 rows (dimensions: 4.5" in height, 24" across). I found a smaller gold button to match with her mom's too!
Of course I had to make Myla a toddler cowl too! Here we have three generations wearing the "Buttoned Shell Stitch Cowls" that I crocheted, each in varying sizes! Don't we all look so cozy and warm?
I hope you enjoyed reading about all the "Buttoned Shell Stitch Cowls" that I crocheted! Once you know how the basic pattern works, you can easily adapt this pattern to make your cowls various sizes and lengths (add or decrease 4 chains at the beginning to increase or decrease number of shell stitches). This pattern is so versatile as using different yarns and different buttons helps give the cowls different looks, and they can be quite the statement piece! These cowls also work up very quickly which is usually the case when working with chunky yarn and a large crochet hook! The shell stitches give such an elegant, pretty, and romantic look to the cowls, wouldn't you agree?
I also crocheted some "Shell Stitch Cowls" worked in a round (without the buttons) that I will blog about shortly, so stay tuned for that! Check out my "Chunky Double Crochet Cowl" and "Long Double Crochet Cowl" from last year too! WIll you be making any of these cowls? What yarn are you going to use? They would make lovely Christmas gifts! Let me know what you think about them in the comments below, and don't forget to show me your finished pieces on my Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram (@AllAboutAmi, #AllAboutAmi)! Happy crocheting and stay warm, everyone ❤
Whenever I see a picture of a beautiful hat or scarf on-line, I always immediately check to see if the piece is knitted or crocheted. There have been times when I've been disappointed to find out that the free pattern is actually a knit pattern as I have not knitted since I was a little girl. One day as I was browsing through Facebook, I came across a beautiful ribbed hat that had an almost-knitted look on the Lion Brand Facebook page, and I was delighted to find out that it was actually a free crochet pattern on their site (found HERE)! When I quickly read through the pattern and saw how the hat was constructed, I knew I absolutely had to give this hat a try!
I happened to have some worsted weight (4) grey yarn in my stash (Patons Canadiana in "Medium Grey"), so I began right away using my 6 mm crochet hook! I knew that my head was a bit bigger so I started off with more chains than the pattern called for: I chained 41 for this grey beanie. This initial length is the height of your hat- keep in mind that you'll want to make it longer if you plan to fold over your hat to give a nice rim or if you want it to be slouchier.
I crocheted the first row as normal. This was my first time crocheting a hat row by row as all the hats I had previously made were crocheted in a circle in rounds! This is what sets apart the construction of this hat and makes it a lot easier for beginners since working in rounds can be more difficult.
The ribbed look is achieved by crocheting in the back loops only of each row. As a reminder, each stitch is comprised of a "v" with two loops: a back loop and a front loop. The back loops are the ones further away from you and the front loops are the ones closer to you!
By crocheting in the back loops only, the front loops are left out and are more visible which gives the ribbed effect.
You continue crocheting in the back loops only until your piece can fit around your head! Keep in mind that your piece can stretch quite a bit too. I ended up crocheting 76 rows or until the piece was 17.5" across.
Here is a close up of the beautiful texture!
Next, you thread your yarn through the ends of the rows along one of the long edges.
Then you pull the yarn tightly to gather the edges together until the hole at the top gets smaller and smaller! After I tightly tied a knot, there was still a tiny hole visible so I sewed it shut completely.
The last step is to sew the short side of the hat together and you're done! It's so easy, right?
This grey beanie ended up being 10" tall, and when I tried it on, it was too short to fold up to give a nice rim. And so, I decided to make another hat, this time a longer one that I could fold up!
While shopping for yarn at Michaels, Ryan came across this absolutely beautiful yarn by "Loop & Threads" called "Ring Spun"! It is a bulky (5) yarn that is 55% acrylic and 45% cotton- it does not fuzz at all and is so soft. I knew this would be the perfect yarn for my second beanie! I was excited to share this find with you all on Instagram and it was neat to hear that some of you love it too!
Also using a 6 mm crochet hook, I chained 46 initially for this beanie (keep in mind that this yarn is thicker than the grey yarn) and it ended up being about 13" tall. I ended up crocheting 60 rows until it measured about 18" across.
The extra height allowed me to fold up this hat to give a beautiful wide ribbed rim!
You can see the difference between my grey and white beanies! The worsted weight vs. bulky and no-rim vs. rim help give them very different looks…
I really wanted to add a pom pom to my white beanie too! We had previously made yarn pom poms for our baby shower a year ago (see blog post HERE) so we still had some of our cardboard circles. At first we made the pom pom on the right but we decided it was too small. And so, we ended up making bigger cardboard circles (diameter of 4 inches) to make a bigger pom pom! Watch this video HERE to see how you can make your own yarn pom poms using cardboard circles!
After attaching our big pom pom, my ribbed beanie was complete! These pom pom beanies are incredibly popular right now- if you walk into any clothing or accessories store, you will most likely see them being sold in a wide variety of colours! It's awesome being able to make your own for a fraction of the cost!
Here is my completed grey beanie too! I used less than one skein of yarn for this grey beanie and a little over one skein for the white beanie!
I was SO excited to try on my beanies as soon as I finished crocheting them! The white beanie turned out just as I hoped it would! I love the wide rim and big pom pom- it makes it look so cozy! I can also wear the beanie "slouchier" by making the rim less wide…
The grey beanie has a different look- I feel like it's a bit "edgier"! I love wearing it too :)
We thought it would be fun to do an outdoors shoot with these beanies since we normally take all our photos indoors! After all, these beanies are meant to be worn outside and to keep us warm! We have been getting quite a bit of snow over the past week, and it was actually relatively warm on the day we did this photoshoot (hovering around 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit). I thought I would try some shots without my jacket but we quickly discovered that it was NOT a good idea and I quickly put my jacket back on, haha! I am definitely used to the cold though having grown up in our cold climate!
I love how my pom pom beanie looks paired with my parka! For those of you who live in colder climates, I wanted to share a wonderful find with you all: fleece leggings! I adore wearing leggings all year round as they are so comfortable, but sometimes you need that extra warmth in the winter! I've actually worn long johns under my leggings before, but I recently purchased some fleece leggings from Simons on a recent shopping trip! They are so incredibly warm and comfortable!
This beanie kept my head very warm- it's my new favourite hat and I can see myself wearing it A LOT during this winter!
Here I am wearing my grey beanie! We actually did this photoshoot in the same exact spot where we did the "Urban Jungle Slouchy Beanie" photoshoot with my brother and sister two years ago (see HERE). It was fall then so this trail looks very different now covered in snow! I can't believe how far we've come since then….two years ago Ryan hadn't taken up photography yet, so we used the "Hipstamatic" app on the iPhone to take the Urban Jungle Slouchy Beanie photos!
{Parka: Aritzia, Cape: Aritzia, Polkadot dress: Urban Outfitters, Fleece Leggings: Simons, Boots: Steve Madden, Beanies: Me!}
If you want your beanie to be slouchier, be sure to crochet more chains at the beginning to give the hat more height! This pattern is very versatile and adaptable as you can use any yarn, make your hat slouchier, chunkier, striped, etc.
I had been searching for a hat pattern like this for a while, and I am so excited that I found one! This would make a great project for people who are interested in learning how to crochet as it is so easy to make and the results are beautiful!
Once again, you can find the free pattern on the Lion Brand website HERE! When my sister Ashley saw how cute my hat was, she immediately requested one too- I think I will definitely be making more of these in the future….will you? I'm even thinking of making a matching pom pom beanie for Myla as well! They would make great Christmas gifts! If you end up posting your projects on Ravelry, you can find the entry HERE as it is under "Adult's Easy Crochet Hat" by Lion Brand! I hope you enjoyed reading this post, and don't forget to connect with me through my Facebook page, Twitter, and Instagram! Stay warm and happy crocheting :)
These little fluff bears are warm, fuzzy, and oh so sweet! Coco and Mochi are made of a special novelty yarn called eyelash yarn that is more difficult to work with than your typical acrylic or cotton yarn, so embark on this project if you are up for a challenge! Even though the individual stitches are difficult to see when working with eyelash yarn, this also means that it is more forgiving since it is harder to see mistakes!
These teddies would make wonderful gifts this winter, and why not personalize them by having them hold or wear different objects (e.g. guitar, book, hat, ballerina tutu) based on your interests or the interests of the person you are gifting them to!

Two years ago Ryan and I came across some white eyelash yarn while shopping at Michaels, and we decided to pick it up along with some other yarn since we thought it would be so cute to make a fluffy bear! I'm embarrassed to admit that this white eyelash yarn remained in a Michaels bag on a shelf in my desk as months and months went by. I continued to work on other projects and once in a while Ryan would say, "Hey, weren't we going to work on that bear with that special yarn we bought a while ago?" It wasn't until this past summer that we decided to finally pull out this yarn and use it to make an amigurumi!
This was my very first time working with eyelash yarn which is a type of novelty yarn that "appears as a thread base with several long strands spaced at even intervals that jut out at an angle from the main strand" (according to Wikipedia). The particular brand that we had purchased two years ago was "Patons Allure" in "Diamond" and more recently we purchased "Loops & Threads Luxurious Fur" in "Lynx" to make a second bear! It's interesting because both eyelash yarns are made of 100% nylon whereas previous yarns I've worked with are typically cotton or acrylic.
As you can see, eyelash yarn is very fuzzy! The white yarn had a more scraggly look to it…
The beige yarn was less scraggly and actually had a beautiful shimmer to it! It's neat how various eyelash yarns have different looks to them which help give the resulting amigurumi different looks too!
I was unaware of this at the time of purchasing the yarns, but they were of different thicknesses. And so, I ended up not being able to use the same pattern when making both bears because of this. As shown in the picture below, the white yarn ontop was bulky (5) while the beige yarn underneath was medium (4).
I started off making the white bear and since the white yarn was bulky, the whole pattern worked up very quickly! I began by working on his head…
When working with fluffy yarn, it is important to leave the "wrong side" of amigurumi on the outside as it is actually fluffier than the "right side" (read about "The RIght Side of Amigurumi" in my blog post HERE).
I must also warn you that working with eyelash yarn is not for the faint of heart or for beginners as it is extremely difficult/nearly impossible to see the individual stitches. Using a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round is imperative! I used a bobby pin before purchasing actual stitch markers as you can see in this picture below. If the next round was supposed to have 12 stitches, I knew that directly across from the bobby pin I should be at around 6 stitches and so a quarter of the way around the circle I should have about 3 stitches. This is how I estimated where to stick my crochet hook round by round :) Working with this yarn is also very forgiving, so even if you miss a stitch here or there or make a couple of mistakes along the way, it will not be visible!
When I was about to close up the ball we added our safety eyes! He looked so cute, and kind of reminded me of a soot sprite from Totoro!
Ryan then embroidered this sweet little nose on felt and glued it onto his face. I love how different noses can give amigurumi various expressions and character. Ryan always does a great job with the noses, and here he is showing off his handiwork!
I crocheted these tiny ears and then sewed them onto the teddy's head!
Next came the fluffy body!
For the limbs and the ears I used a lightweight (3) mercerized cotton ("Patons Grace"). This type of yarn contrasts nicely against the fluffy eyelash yarn and really helps the limbs and ears stand out! The arms are actually longer than the legs which gives a really cute look!
We knew we wanted to have this teddy hold something and we brainstormed different ideas…. I thought it would be SO cute if he was a crocheting bear so we quickly made some accessories for him with items we already had around the house! For the crochet hook we used some wire that we use to hang our Christmas ornaments onto our tree- Ryan cut and shaped the tip to make it look like a hook! And for the yarn, we used embroidery floss: Ryan tied many knots to form the base and then wrapped the embroidery floss around the knots while adding glue from a glue gun along the way so the floss would remain in place. To give you some perspective on how tiny his accessories are, this next photo shows a comparison of the yarn and hook with a Canadian penny:
Once we placed the yarn and hook into the teddy's hands he was all finished, and I absolutely fell in love with him! I love his sweet face and how fluffy he is, and of course I adore how he's doing my favourite hobby…crocheting! I decided to name him "Mochi" with the help of "artsysketchpaper" on Instagram! Mochi is one of my favourite foods and it is chewy and fluffy….I thought it would be the perfect name for this little cutie!
Here is a side view of Mochi!
As soon as we finished Mochi we knew we wanted to crochet him a little companion. Ryan came up with the idea of having a second female bear wearing a scarf using the same embroidery floss that Mochi was holding! Mochi would express his love by crocheting a scarf for his sweetie! And so, I quickly whipped up a second bear using the beige medium (4) yarn and adapted my pattern along the way. We gave her a pink nose and had her hold a flower for Mochi so that she could give him a gift too (the flower is from one of those scrapbook accessory kits)!
We decided to name the girl bear "Coco" which is short for coconut since it's fluffy and continues with the food theme :) Thank you to Betty, both Emmas, Kim and "disqus_bqN3KZ6mig" (I don't know why your name didn't appear, sorry!) through the blog comments and "iamanhera" on Instagram for helping me name her (as you can see, this was a popular name choice)! Here is a side view of Coco- I love how fluffy she is!
And here is a pic of Coco and Mochi together! I really appreciate your help in naming these two…. I could not think of any creative names for them and I am SO GLAD I could draw upon the collective minds of my blog readers!!! So many of you suggested very cute and meaningful names- I hope you'll use them for your own bears! I decided to call these two "The Fluff Bears" as a set! Who knows…maybe we'll be adding more bears to the Fluff Family in the future :)
To give you some more perspective on just how tiny these two are, here's a picture of me holding them! They fit nicely in the palm of my hand!
Aww, Coco and Mochi are so very much in love :)

Here is one last picture of the two Fluff Bears Coco and Mochi lounging in my crocheted basket (check out the blog post for the basket HERE). Aren't they just adorable?
Ryan and I wanted to show Coco and Mochi in action so we shot this little stop motion video for you to enjoy!
Prior to making Coco and Mochi, the only fuzzy amigurumi I had made were "Valentine Teddy" and "Fuzzy White Bear". The fuzzy look for these two was achieved by using a dog slicker brush to fuzz up the yarn. Using eyelash yarn gives a very different look as the individual stitches are not visible at all. This results in a very plush and furry amigurumi that does not even look crocheted! I really enjoyed working with eyelash yarn and I am excited to work with it again :)
I think it would be so cute to personalize these teddies by having them hold or wear different objects (e.g. guitar, book, hat, ballerina tutu) based on your own interests or the interests of the person you are gifting them to! The free pattern for these two teddies can be found HERE!!! Follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to get my updates :) Thanks for reading the story behind Coco and Mochi and I hope you're excited to make your very own fluff bears!
A few weeks ago, I found out about another technique that has changed and greatly facilitated the way I make amigurumi, much like the Magic Circle which I previously blogged about. Before, I would lament about how there were holes and bumps when I decreased my stitches when closing up a ball. Imagine my delight when I learned about "The Invisible Decrease" method, in which you can't even tell that the stitches are decreasing- there are no holes or bumps in sight!
Typically when you are decreasing, you are instructed to either single crochet 2 together (sc 2 tog) or single crochet decrease ([insert hook into next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop] twice; yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on hook). The Invisible Decrease uses a different method, and it is very important to know the difference between the front loops and the back loops of stitches.
When crocheting amigurumi, you usually work through both loops of the stitches. The front loops are those on the outside of the circle closest to you. The back loops are those on the inside of the circle.
Let's begin doing our Invisible Decrease!
Sometimes it's easier seeing this all in action, so here's a great video by Nerdigurumi that shows exactly how to do the "Invisible Decrease":
If you are not already using "The Invisible Decrease" when making amigurumi, I HIGHLY recommend trying it out. Just like the Magic Circle, once you've started using it, you won't ever go back!
This is the third and final tutorial of my cell phone cozy series (check out the first two here and here). This one takes the most time and effort, but the results are beautiful. This is the cozy I made for myself, hence the pink- my favourite colour!
I started off by crocheting a long piece. Make sure the width of the piece is the same width as your phone (you do not have to take into account the thickness of the device as in the other tutorials).
Wrap the piece around your phone to make sure it fits.
This cozy will have a front flap, so wrap the piece over itself.
We will be making a button hole in this front flap, so make rows of single crochets that run only halfway across one side. Bind off the end when finished.
Now even it out by making rows of single crochets on the other side.
Single crochet all the way across to close up the hole. For a more in-depth look on how to create a hole in the front flap for a button, see Tutorial #2 (has step-by-step pictures with arrows).
This is the new part: we will be using fabric for the lining of the cozy! You may remember this fabric from the Spring Bunnies (lining of their ears). I had material left over, so I was happy to use it in another project. Wrap the fabric around your cell phone and sew a straight seam down the middle.
Wrap the crocheted piece around the fabric lining.
Sew the crocheted piece around the fabric lining. You can see the seam in this picture.
Sew on your favourite button with colourful thread for contrast. In this case, I used a wooden button with hot pink thread. These materials may look familiar because I used the same silk bamboo pink yarn, wooden button and hot pink thread when I made my mom's cup cozy!
Here is the finished cozy, all buttoned up with the cell phone inside!
The fabric lining really adds a nice touch with the decorative patterns only peeking out on the sides.
As you can see, I really like pink!
This cell phone cozy is a welcome addition to the other must-haves in my purse: my Kindle (I love whipping this out and reading whenever I have time to pass), keys, handcream, Sashiko kleenex holder and now my new handmade, chic-looking cozy!
And that concludes my series on cell phone cozies :) Hope you found them useful and that you've been inspired to make one for yourself or for a loved one. It's great being able to use and carry something special you've made that can't be bought in stores!
This is the second tutorial of my three-part cell phone cozy series (Check out Tutorial #1 here and Tutorial #3 here). With this second method, we crochet a "sock" for our cell phones. There are no seams and no joining of edges required. This is actually my favourite way of crocheting cell phone cozies because I think it is the most simple and quick method.
To begin, you make a series of chain stitches that is about the width of your cell phone (or a little bit longer if your device is thick). Once you are done, single crochet to the left side (1) starting from the second chain from the hook as shown below in the top loops (aka back loops).
Once you have reached the left side, begin single crocheting in the bottom loops (aka front loops) of the beginning chain going towards the right side (2). In essence, we will be crocheting around and around the beginning chain.
From here on in, we will be crocheting in both loops (top and bottom or front and back loops). We single crochet towards the left side at the top (3) and then towards the right side on the bottom (4). This is similar to crocheting around a circle for amigurumi, except now we get a long, oval-like shape.
Once you keep crocheting around and around, the edges will start to curl up on itself since we are not increasing at all (the number of stitches in each row is the same). Be sure that the right side of your piece is showing outwards (see my "Right Side of Amigurumi" post).
After many more rows…
The finished product with the cell phone inside! The cozy really fits like a glove with the cell phone snugly tucked inside.
To make the cozy cuter, we added this little bunny (reminiscent of the Spring Bunnies!). See my tutorial on how to add felt shapes to your cozy here.
The bunny adds a nice touch :)
Next, I will talk about some other ways you can decorate or add some closure to your cozies. Here, I've crocheted a plain black cozy using the "sock" method.
I crocheted a 5-petal flower (click here to learn how to make them) and found a cute colourful button.
I sewed the button in the centre of the flower and sewed the flower onto the cozy for a pop of colour.
If you want your cell phone to be extra protected, you could use some form of closure at the top. For example, you could put the flower/button near the top front of the cozy and make a series of chain stitches on the back of the cozy to loop around the flower/button.
I opted to use the flower as a decoration in the corner.
Another option is to make a full front flap with a button for even more secure protection. Here, I've crocheted a pink cozy that is the length of my cell phone.
Next, I crochet across half of the sock (the back), chain 1 and then turn instead of continuing to crochet around in a loop.
Once the flap is long enough, we will get ready to create a hole for where the button will go through.
To create a hole or gap in our flap, we will single crochet half-way across on the right side (1) and stop. Do not continuously go across to the left side to complete the row.
Next, we chain one and go back across to the right side (2). Then we chain one again and go back halfway towards the left (3). Bind off here (or keep going a few more rows depending how big your button is).
Join yarn with slip stitch at the point indicated in the picture below. We will now work on the left side.
Single crochet across the left side (4), chain one, crochet towards the right side (5), chain one, then crochet towards the left side once again (6). Both the left and right sides should be even now.
Now, you can single crochet straight across the row (not stopping halfway), forming a hole in our flap.
Keep single crocheting rows until you've reached your desired length.
Next, it's time to add our button. There are so many cool buttons out there, but I thought it'd be cute to add a crocheted button. To do this, I started off with a magic circle and crocheted around a small button (increasing then decreasing rows).
I then sewed the crocheted button onto my cozy.
And here it is with the button slipping through the hole we created very nicely :) You could also use a piece like this to hold credit cards and ID. Add a crocheted strap to the corner and you've got yourself a cute wristlet for days when you don't feel like carrying a big purse!
While on a long road trip, I made these striped cozies because I was trying to think of ways to use up my old yarn from when I was little. There are so many different colour combinations to try! If changing colours, be sure to make the change towards the edges of the cozy so that the switch in colour is not readily visible.
Here are all the cozies we talked about using the "sock" method. Of course, you could add a button or do the same flap technique using Tutorial #1 (with the single crocheted edges) as well. Be sure to also check out Tutorial #3 which is what I actually used for my own cell phone!
This week I will be blogging about three different ways you can crochet cell phone cozies. There are variations within each of these three ways I've come up with, so hopefully there will be one way you'll like and want to try making. Cozies are functional since they protect your cell phones, and they can look super cute and stylish too! And of course, you can use this tutorial to make cozies for any device you have, including iPods, iTouches, mp3 players, etc.
The first way consists of crocheting either one or two pieces and single crocheting these pieces together along the edges. Here, I've crocheted one long piece that will wrap around the iPhone 4. I measured the width of the device and single crocheted row after row until I got an appropriate length. If your device is thick (has more depth), start with the width a little bit longer than the device itself to account for this (otherwise it may be too tight). Be sure to measure your crocheted piece around your cell phone as you crochet to make sure it's not too snug or too big.
Fold the piece in half and single crochet the edges together down the left side as shown below. Bind off and hide the ends once you've reached the bottom of the left side.
Attach the yarn at the bottom ride side and single crochet upwards. Bind off and hide the ends once you've reached the upper right side.
You should get this finished product with two single-crocheted edges!
Another variation is to crochet two separate pieces measuring the same size. I wanted to vary the texture up a bit, so I alternated rows of back post and front post double crochets (click here to see how to do these stitches).
Place the two pieces ontop of one another and crochet down the left side (1), across the bottom (2) and up the right side (3). With this way, you do not have to bind off and reattach the yarn as you continuously single crochet around the edges. The bottom gets a single crocheted edge as well (as opposed to the pink cozy above).
Here are the two cozies we've crocheted so far. They're a bit plain, so if you'd like to jazz up your cozies, you can add felt pieces to make different designs.
We wanted to add a cute little ice cream cone to the pink cozy! Working with felt can be difficult, particularly if you're cutting very small, precise shapes. And so, Ryan came up with this method to make this process easier. He sketched out the shapes that we wanted on plain paper and then carefully cut them out.
Next, we glued them onto small pieces of felt.
We then carefully cut out the pieces of felt. Here are the sides with the paper showing.
And here are the sides with the felt showing.
The ice cream cone is ready for some embroidery floss :)
Ryan added some embroidery floss for the swirls in the ice cream and also added some eyes and a cute smile, just like our amigurumi!
We then used a glue gun to attach the ice cream cone to the cozy! Of course, you can always just cut the pieces out of felt (without using paper) and sew the pieces onto the cozies as well.
The ice cream cone suddenly brightens up the cozy and adds a cute touch!
We made a cherry for the tan cozy! Thinking up different shapes and using your favourite foods is pretty fun :)
Adding a cute face makes everything super kawaii!
And here you have it! The first way to crochet cell phone cozies by single crocheting along the edges. I love making cozies since they're pretty quick to crochet and you don't have to keep the count (unlike amigurumi!). Check out Tutorial #2 and Tutorial #3 to see some other designs and ways to make cell phone cozies!
A while back, someone requested that I do a nose tutorial for amigurumi. I thought this was an excellent idea since the noses are such a key feature for stuffed animals. Different noses make amigurumi look happy or sad, and the placement of the noses greatly affects the overall look of their faces.
Here are some step-by-step photos we used to make one particular nose. I'll show pictures of all the different noses we've made so far at the end of this post so you can see the differences. To make most of the noses I've used for my amigurumi, cut a small circular piece of felt. I buy my felt at my local dollar store for cheap. Get your needle and embroidery floss ready.
Start from the back side of the felt so that your knot will be hidden underneath. We will be creating a triangle for this particular nose. As illustrated in the photo below, stitch one line across at the top and then poke your needle below at a point that is halfway between the top line.
Join the sides of the triangle.
Fill in the triangle.
Stitch a line straight down.
Then stitch two small lines to create a "v" on the right side.
Next, stitch a "v" on the left side. The nose is complete!
The next important step is placing the nose on the face. This is definitely personal preference, but I will show you how I like to place the noses based on my experience.
This nose is placed too low…
This nose is placed wayyyy too low…
This nose is placed a little too high…
I prefer to place my noses as shown in the picture below. The middle of the nose lines up with the middle of the eyes (as shown by the dotted line). Once again though, this is really personal preference.
This nose was used for Graduation Teddy (pattern found here).
Next, I will show you some close-ups of various noses we've made. Click on the name of each amigurumi to see the full step-by-step blog posts . When the noses are upturned (bottom lines curve upwards), they make the amigurumi look happy. Here is another example of an upturned nose.
This was for Cupcake Bear.
This nose is simple with a cute little smile.
This was for Brown Bear with Scarf.
This next nose has a triangle shape with a small smile.
This was for Bunny.
The next series of noses are all downturned (bottom lines go downwards), making the amigurumi look a little sad. There's just something about these noses that make them look adorable though!
This was for Fuzzy White Bear.
Here's another one…
This was for Mini Cupcake Bear (pattern found here).
This nose is similar to the one above except there's no line going straight down.
This was for Valentine Teddy (pattern can be found here).
This nose was very different and was stitched directly onto the face (no felt used). A step-by-step tutorial for this nose as well as the pattern can be found here.
This was for the Spring Bunnies.
Here are a variety of noses, including upturned, downtowned and neutral to depict different expressions:
These were for my Teddy Bear Keychains in my first giveaway!
I will continue to add noses to this post as I make more amigurumi. There are many different ways to make noses, but these are just some of the ways that we've made them. You can stitch the noses directly onto the face or stitch them onto felt and then sew or use a glue gun to attach the felt to the face. Try out these different noses and make up your own styles! Keep your eyes out for cute expressions when watching cartoons or when you see other stuffed animals at toy stores. They really help give amigurumi different personalities and looks!
This is a quick tutorial on how to make a tassel. This tassel was used to attach to the mortarboard of a Graduation Teddy I made, but you can use tassels as a finishing feature to decorate other items as well, such as carpets and drapes.
Choose what colours you would like your tassel to be comprised of using embroidery floss or yarn. If you are making this tassel for a graduation teddy, I recommend using the school colours of your graduate. Get a piece of paper of an appropriate size (or fold the paper) and begin wrapping the embroidery floss around the paper.
Cut the ends after you've finished wrapping the embroidery floss to your desired thickness.
Holding the embroidery floss on both sides firmly, cut the floss in half along the edge of the paper.
Choose what colour you want the knot of the tassel to be (as well as the string that will attach to the centre circle of the mortarboard). Cut a piece of embroidery floss using that colour and tie a double knot firmly in the centre of the strings (where they were folded).
Fold the yellow and purple embroidery floss back upon themselves in half. Keep the purple embroidery floss (the one just used to tie the double knot) separate and out of the way (if you have an extra pair of hands, have that person hold this piece taut away from you). Use another piece of embroidery floss (same colour of floss used to tie double knot) and wrap it multiple times around the rest of the floss that is folded in half. When desired thickness is reached, tie a double knot.
Using crochet hook, pull ends of floss down and through the wrapped portion to hide them and have them blend in with rest of embroidery floss. Pull only the ends of the most recent double knot (used for wrapping) and NOT the original double knot that was kept separate (these ends will be used for attaching the tassel).
Trim ends using sharp pair of scissors.
Tassel is complete!
If making tassel for Graduation Teddy, attach tassel to mortarboard by wrapping ends around centre circle.
The tassel adds a nice touch!
If you would like to watch a video on how to make a tassel, click here (this is the one I used to make this tutorial).
As I was looking up graduation quotes, I came across this witty one: "The tassel is worth the hassle!" Of course, this tassel in particular is quick to make and not a hassle at all :) Give it a try to add a nice decorative touch to your projects!

TEAMS: New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, St. Louis Rams, Texas Tech Red Raiders
That didn't last long.
Hours after the Patriots let their all-time franchise reception leader, Wes Welker, sign with the Denver Broncos, New England agreed to terms with former St. Louis Rams slot receiver Danny Amendola.
The similarities between Welker and Amendola are many -- they're both versatile slot receiver/punt return mavens who ironically enough, each attended Texas Tech University.
ESPN reported the deal first, as Amendola will make $31 million over five years, including $10 million guaranteed.
Amendola, 27, has missed 20 games due to injury over the past two seasons. As Welker joins the Broncos, Amendola is reunited with Josh McDaniels, his offensive coordinator during the 2011 season in St. Louis. The Patriots had been quiet during the first 24 hours of free agency, but the Amendola move marks a rather big splash.
Out with the old. In with the new.
Other than Amendola, Brandon Lloyd is the only other Patriots wide receiver currently under contract for the 2013 season.

Purpose: To briefly summarize existing data on effects of aging on auditory processing and cognition.
Method: A narrative review summarized previously reported data on age-related changes in auditory processing and in cognitive processes with a focus on spoken language comprehension and memory. In addition, recent data on effects of lifestyle engagement on cognitive processes are reviewed.
Results: There is substantial evidence for age-related declines in both auditory processes and cognitive abilities. Accumulating evidence supports the idea that the perceptual burden associated with hearing loss impacts the processing resources available for good comprehension and memory for spoken language, particularly in older adults with limited resources. However, many language abilities are well preserved in old age, and there is considerable variability among individuals in cognitive performance across the life span. The authors discuss how lifestyle factors and socioemotional engagement can help to offset declining abilities.
Conclusions: It is clear that spoken language processing in adulthood and old age is affected by changes in perceptual, cognitive, and socioemotional processes as well as by interactions among these changes. Recommendations for further research include studying speech comprehension in complex conditions, including meaningful-connection spoken language, and tailoring clinical interventions based on patients' auditory processing and cognitive abilities along with their individual socioemotional demands.

Court hears how 32 died in Italy shipwreck
GROSSETO, Italy (AP) — The Italian court trying the captain of the Costa Concordia heard grim details Wednesday about how the 32 victims of the shipwreck drowned, some after diving or falling into the sea from the capsized cruise liner when lifeboats were no longer accessible.
A court official read out the names of the deceased passengers and crew members, and described how each one died, quoting verbatim from the indictment of the Concordia's captain, Francesco Schettino. The veteran Italian mariner is the sole defendant in the trial, which is being held in a theater in the Tuscan town of Grosseto.
Schettino is charged with manslaughter, causing the January 2012 shipwreck off the Tuscan island of Giglio, and abandoning ship with "hundreds of passengers and crew still aboard, unable to care for themselves or in need of coordination as the ship's tilt increased," the official said.
The Concordia, on a week-long Mediterranean cruise, speared a jagged granite reef when, prosecutors allege, Schettino steered the ship too close to Giglio's rocky shores as a favor to a crewman whose relatives live on the island.
The reef sliced a 70-meter-long (230-foot) gash in the hull. Seawater rushed in, causing the ship to rapidly lean to one side until it capsized, then drifted to a rocky stretch of seabed just outside the island's tiny port.
Survivors have described an evacuation that was so confused and delayed that by the time it got under way lifeboats on one side of the Concordia could no longer be launched because the vessel was already badly listing.
The reading of the list of the victims began with the death of a Frenchman, Francis Servel, who "not having found a place on the lifeboat, threw himself into the sea without a life vest." He was "sucked toward the bottom of the whirlpool produced by the final flipping over on the right side of the ship, and then died due to asphyxiation."
Shortly after the tragedy, survivors recounted how Servel had given his wife his life vest because she didn't know how to swim.
The bodies of victims No. 31 and 32 were never found, but after a long, futile search of the ship's interior and the nearby waters, they were declared dead.
One of them was a middle-aged Italian passenger, Maria Grazia Trecarichi, who, with no place on a lifeboat, and "while waiting to be rescued" while wearing a life vest, "slid off into the sea because of the progressive tilt of the boat" and presumably drowned, the court official said, reading from the indictment.
Victim No. 32 was a Filipino waiter, Russel Terence Rebello. The court heard how the crewman "remained on the ship to carry out the lowering of the last lifeboats" and either fell or dove into the sea because of the Concordia's dramatic tilt and was presumed to have drowned.
Other victims drowned aboard, as violently swirling water rose up inside the ship.
The court heard how some passengers were "sucked into a vortex" of water rushing into the ship when the Concordia capsized. This happened after the crew told them to go to the other side of the ship where lifeboats were being launched, and the passengers ended up trying to walk down a tilting corridor.
Wednesday was the first full one-day hearing in the trial, which is expected to last into next year. Last week it was postponed by a lawyers' strike.
Earlier Wednesday, lawyers for Schettino said they were making a last-ditch attempt to reach a plea bargain in the case, which could result in a long prison sentence if the captain is convicted.
One of his lawyers, Donato Laino, told reporters the defense wanted a deal that would see Schettino plead guilty in exchange for a three-year, five-month sentence.
Schettino risks up to 20 years, if found guilty of manslaughter and the other charges.
The bid is essentially a "formality since the prosecution will tell us 'no,'" the LaPresse news agency quoted Laino as saying.
It was not immediately clear when a ruling regarding the plea bargain might come. But prosecutor Francesco Verusio told reporters during a recess that he has opposed it because of the "seriousness of the conduct of the accused."
In May, a different judge in pretrial hearings rejected Schettino's first bid for a plea bargain after the prosecution said no.
But deals have been approved for the five other defendants, including the helmsman and other ship officers who were on the bridge of the ship with Schettino when it rammed the reef. The five included an official of the Italian cruise company Costa Crociere SpA who was managing the crisis on land.
A judge is expected to rule on Saturday on those defendants' requests for lenient sentences, no longer than about two years. In Italy, sentences are often suspended in the cases of first time offenders that result in punishments of a just a few years or less.
That would leave Schettino, who depicts himself as an innocent scapegoat, as the only defendant risking a long sentence.
Prosecutors have alleged he deliberately guided the ship dangerously close to the island's rocky coast. The maneuver "was a favor that the commander, Schettino, wanted to do" for a crew member whose family lives on Giglio "so they could watch an ultra-close passage (of the Concordia) near the coast," Verusio told reporters outside the courtroom.
Some of the 4,200 passengers and crew members who were aboard the Concordia said Schettino shouldn't be the only person tried.
"Frankly, I'm not angry with Schettino," said Gianluca Gabrielli, a 33-year-old Roman who is a surviving passenger. "I'm angry with the whole crew. They were smiling at the beginning, but when they realized that there was danger, they escaped, abandoning us," Gabrielli said outside the Grosseto theater, which is serving as a makeshift courtroom to allow more space for the public.
Many survivors who jumped into the sea and swam to shore have recalled their shock and amazement that Schettino was already there while others were still on the boat.
Most of the last survivors had to be lifted to safety from the capsized wreck by helicopters.
Many survivors and families of the people killed in the disaster have filed civil actions that could allow them to seek monetary compensation from Schettino, if he is convicted.
On Wednesday, Judge Giovanni Puliatti allowed the Italian cruise company Costa Crociere to do the same. In April, a judge in Tuscany fined Costa 1 million euros ($1.3 million) for the shipwreck, the maximum amount allowed under Italian law.
At Wednesday's trial, lawyers for Schettino and for survivors told the judge they objected to letting Costa attach a civil action to the criminal trial. But Puliatti sided with the company, indicating there was no such contradiction.
Most of the seats in the theater Wednesday were empty, as it was widely expected that the hearing would be taken up by procedural matters, with no testimony scheduled.
Those issues include the judge's decision about which of some 150 witnesses will be called to testify and when. Testimony is unlikely to begin before September because courtrooms in Italy generally break for vacation in August.

For EDU Atlanta
After graduating from high school in 2008, Kristina Palermino worked as a medical assistant at a health clinic, but soon realized she would rather work behind the scenes in a laboratory. After researching clinical lab degree programs, she found a new career direction at Gwinnett Technical College.
Today Palermino is halfway through an associate degree program in bioscience technology.
"I wanted a degree with versatility, and this is it," she said. "There are many biotech industries in Georgia, so I could take my skills into the agricultural, health sciences, forensic or environmental sectors."
The hands-on curriculum is challenging, and Palermino values learning from instructors with different specialties (plants, proteins, chemistry) and work backgrounds.
"All of the instructors are geared toward work force development and teaching you the things you'll really need to know. Every day they're helping you to think about your future," she said.
Palermino's goal is a job in a pharmaceutical research and development lab, but she's also considering continuing her education first. An articulation agreement with Southern Polytechnic State University allows her to earn a bachelor's degree in the field.
"In either case, I feel that I'm moving in the right direction now. With this degree, I have lots of options," she said.
In response to the state's economic development plan to attract companies in the industry, Gwinnett Tech launched a bioscience technology degree program in 2007.
"Workers in this field need knowledge of science, laboratory techniques, specialized equipment and regulated environments. They have to be able to think critically," said Phil Gibson, director of the school's bioscience technology program. "When deciding where to locate, companies can predict land costs and other factors, but the big unknown is whether there will be a quality work force available. We didn't have that emerging work force, but we are training them now."
Gibson believes that Baxter International's decision last year to locate a $1 billion biopharmaceutical manufacturing plant in Covington was influenced by the Technical College System of Georgia's ability to build a long-term pipeline of skilled workers.
"We are preparing lab scientists to work in a broad swath of industries, including medical research, forensics, blood banking, environmental protection, water and soil management, green manufacturing and animal food products. Our graduates are working all over the state," he said.
Visitors are often surprised by Gwinnett Tech's state-of-the-art science facility. Calling it the best in the Southeast, Gibson says it allows the school to deliver hands-on training that others can't offer. He expects it will help attract other bioscience companies to Georgia.
'Not your daddy's tech school'
Bioscience technology is just one example of how dramatically technical education has changed in Georgia.
"Today's technical college system is not your daddy's tech school," Gibson said.
It's an unrealized asset, said Ronald Jackson, commissioner of the Technical College System of Georgia.
"We still find people who have the old image of technical education as vocational shop or training for the manual trades," Jackson said. "It still suffers from the perception that it is for people who aren't quite as bright or academically driven."
However, high school counselors and students are beginning to see that not all high-paying careers are driven by four-year degrees. The recession also opened the eyes of many adults who realized they would have trouble getting a good job without new skills.
"Technology is embedded into every industry today, requiring workers to have more training and education," Jackson said. "Technical education offers a pathway into most careers, as well as to higher degrees."
The 25 technical colleges in the system are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, or the Council on Occupational Education. The system offers almost 600 degree, diploma and certificate of credit programs that prepare students with skills that translate into the work force.
Technical colleges have always trained plumbers, welders, electricians and auto technicians, but now they also prepare students for careers in business, computers, bioscience, nursing, engineering technology, criminal justice and early childhood education, to name a few.
"About 40 percent of our enrollment is in health care," Jackson said. "We train as many nurses as the university system and private institutions, and the majority of allied health specialists — radiology technicians, dental assistants and respiratory therapists, etc. — come through the technical system.
"The technical college system is critical to the aviation, logistics and manufacturing industries."
Technical schools also trains chefs, horticulturalists and video game developers.
"People are surprised to find that we have an underwater welding program in Americus where 100 percent of our graduates are hired immediately; that we have the only public funeral service education degree (in Statesboro); and a bioscience technology program in Gwinnett," Jackson said. "And we're training skilled workers to run the robots and computers necessary for advanced manufacturing processes."
With input from local advisory groups from business and industry, technical colleges adapt their curricula quickly to meet changing market standards and demands. Creating health information technology programs quickly to meet the fast-growing health information technology field is one example.
"We're the only system that guarantees that if graduates can't do the job, we'll retrain them for free," Jackson said. "In 2011, 34,191 students graduated from the technical college system; 90 percent got jobs and only 33 students came back for retraining."
Others went on to further their education, thanks to new articulation agreements with the Georgia University System and private institutions that make 27 core courses at technical colleges transferable.
"It means students can continue their education without loss of time or money," Jackson said.
More Georgia students are seeing the advantage of getting the first two years of their education at a technical college.
"They can study close to home, have lower tuition costs, use the HOPE scholarship or grant, and know that they are getting the high-quality education and skills demanded by today's job market," Jackson said. "Our mission is to put people to work in their chosen fields. Over 90 percent of our graduates are working."

Traveling with Back Pain
June 14, 2013If you suffer from back pain, you are probably dreading the long car or plane ride necessary to get you to your vacation destination this summer. While there is no strong science behind prevention strategies, there are things you can do to help make your travel more comfortable.
Here are some helpful tips from Dr. John Keel, a physiatrist (medical specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation) at NEBH.
- Take breaks often – stop at rest stops and alternate drivers.
- If on a plane, stand or take a short walk in the aisle when you have an opportunity.
- When sitting, use a small pillow behind the back for a time, then take it out, then sit on it for a time. This is a method of shifting your body to avoid getting stuck for the whole ride in the same position.
- Do not drive if you have radiating pain and weakness or dysfunction in your driving leg.
- Plan ahead. Make sure your core is strong by continuing your prescribed exercise program.
- If you are receiving injections for pain management, consider getting one in time to feel good for your trip.
- Medications - do not use sedating pain medications while driving.
- If your pain continues, you should consult an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of back pain. Find a doctor now.
Remember-you are not damaging your back with a long car ride or plane trip, even though it may hurt.

Mobile devices were once malware immune, but as their ability to behave more like a computer increases, so does the inevitability that blackhats will find new and creative ways to infect these devices and siphon information one app at a time.
A recent survey by Global Information uncovered the extent to which BYOD will spread by the end of the year. The survey found that 65 percent of enterprises plan to incorporate some form of BYOD, while only 11 percent have no plans for implementation.

Bad Experience with Smart Lipo - San Francisco, CA
I got an email from a skin spa that I went to for...
- 22 Jul 2012
I got an email from a skin spa that I went to for hair laser removal. The email was promoting the procedure smart lipo. And in the ad, it said that it was a safe, effective and a much quicker recovery than traditional liposuction AND it was done under local anesthesia. I had a very minor dent that I go from a previous surgery that was only noticeable to to my eye. When I called the spa, they said that smart lipo was often used for correcting problems from previous liposuction. I went in, met with the doctor and told him that I wanted the dent on my lower abdomen smoothed out and some fat taken out of my flanks. He said he could do it and could smooth everything out. I regretfully went through the procedure. I went to my follow-ups and they kept telling me that everything looked normal. I was shocked because my entire lower half of my abdomen looked lumpy and like someone took an ice cream scooper to my stomach. But they said they see this all the time and with more time things will improve and look normal.
After 4 months they said that my healing time was just taking longer and pushed it to 6 months, then 8 months, and finally I went to consult with other doctors. I felt so stupid for not having done my research on the doctor and not making sure that he was a board certified plastic surgeon. THIS IS HUGE! The doctor is an emergency care doctor at a hospital, he doesn't even perform surgery. All the Board Certified plastic surgeons were frustrated when I told them my story and were bothered by the fact under qualified people were performing Smart Lipo. It has almost been a year since doing Smart Lipo. 2 months ago I went to a revision specialist that had to transfer fat to all the areas that were treated during Smart Lipo. The skin spa did reimburse me money which helped pay for the revision. My advice to anyone is just to do your research on these doctors. Being a Board Certified plastic surgeon is HUGE. Read all the reviews on the doctors and check there work out.
Great review?
I am very unsatisfied with the results. I chose this provider because I went to this spa for years for hair laser removal.
