 My sister and I made these at Joannes. They were having a tutorial...
 It turned out really good.

Simple...

 This right here, is a sheet of Shrinky Dink plastic. It is very inexpensive to buy, and you can make so much out of just 1 sheet. (One package comes with about 10-15 sheets)
 This is a KLUTZ book… I LOVE klutz. They make easy, understandable books. Their books also taught me how to knit and crochet… :)
                                                      This is what I am trying to make…..
                     After I had my shapes drawn and colored, I had to cut them all out…..
                                  I also had to have lots of jump rings, which are little circles.
                                                 Very Pretty   :)
 Cut them all out and don't forget to put 4 hole punches in them.
 Bake them in the oven for 2 minutes at 325* and you're good to go.
 Put 3 jump rings between each shrinky dink.
                                                         The finished product!!!
Just Beautiful…

Come And Look...


Come and look!  This is such a beautiful pattern for a beach cover-up. Just perfect for this time of year! It is very simple and quick to whip up. The front and back are worked the same until you get to the top, making it easy to crochet. Come and see how a few balls of yarn can turn into such a wonderful creation, just like how God turned us into His wonderful creation!  ***Praise God***



              I used Cotton Ease to make this project, but you can use any material you would like.
  I also used a size 4.0mm hook. I almost always use a size 4 unless I am working with really thick yarn.
                    Keep up the pattern until your piece measures 18in. Or as long as you would like.
  To print this pattern, go here.

This pattern is written for the smallest size.

With your main color, ch 63. 
Row 1: Sc in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across- 62 sts at the end of this row.
Row 2: Ch 4, turn, sk first 2 sts, 3 tr in next st, *sk next 2 sts, 3 tr in next st; rep from * across to last 2 sts, sk next st, tr in last st- 20 3-tr groups at the end of this row.
Row 3: Ch 1, turn, sc in each st across.
Rep last 2 rows until piece measures 18in. Or as long as you would like.


After you complete this, you will be almost halfway done! Good Job!
