Wild Ramp Crochet Market Bag
Wild Ramp
Crochet Market Bag
Crochet
pattern by Nadine Borovicka
A market bag
for shopping at your favorite local farmer’s market.
Materials:
240
yards of a worsted weight cotton yarn (can also use another non-stretchy fiber)
Size
H crochet hook
Darning
needle
Crochet
Stitch Marker
Scissors
Abbreviations:
Ch-
chain stitch
Sc-
single crochet
Dc-
double crochet
Inc-
increase, stitch twice in the stitch of previous row increasing your stitch
count by one
Hdc-
half double crochet
Sl
st- slip stitch
St(s)-
stitch(es)
Directions:
Bag
Bottom:
Tie
a slip knot in the end of your yarn, leaving a tail of about 5 inches to weave
in when you are finished.
Chain
2 stitches.
Work
8 sc stitches into the second chain from hook.
Ch 1.
You
will now begin working in the round to complete the bottom of the bag.
Round
1: Dc twice into each sc of the previous row (16 sts)
Round
2: [Dc 1, inc] around (24 sts)
Round
3: [Dc 2, inc] around (32 sts)
Round
4: [Dc 3, inc] around (40 sts)
Round
5: [Dc 4, inc] around (48 sts)
Round
6: [Dc 5, inc] around (56 sts)
Round
7: [Dc 6, inc] around (64 sts)
Round
8: [Dc 7, inc] around (72 sts)
Work
a HDC into next stitch, then a sc into next stitch, then a sl st into the next
stitch. This will taper the edge of the
round so it blends into the circle.
Bag
Body:
You
will now begin working on the chain stitches that make up the body of the bag.
Set
up round: *Ch 5, skip 3 sts, sc 1 into next st, repeat from * around until you
get back to the beginning of this round.
Ch 5 and sc into the first ch 5 loop you created. You will be skipping 4 sc in your bag base to
do this last st.
Pattern
rounds: *Ch 5, sc around the ch 5 loop below, repeat from * around until you
have completed 19 rounds
This
section is optional. I like to put a few
rounds of single crochet around the top of my bag. But if you think you are going to run out of
yarn, you can skip straight to the straps.
If you want to do this section follow these instructions:
Row
1: After working the last sc of the pattern round, work one more sc around the
same ch 5 loop. *Sc in next sc, 3 sc
around the next ch 5 loop. Repeat from *
around until you get back to the start of this round.
Row
2 + 3: Sc in each sc around.
Bag
Strap:
Work
10 sc. If you skipped the sc rows, you
will be working 3 sc into the Ch 5 loop you ended in (you will be using your
last sc from the body section as your first sc for the strap), 1 sc into the
next sc, and 5 sc into the next Ch 5 loop.
If you did the sc rows, you will just work 10 sc into 10 sc.
*Ch
1, turn your work, work 10 sc across.
Repeat from * until your strap is approximately 15 inches long (This can
be as long or as short as you want it, keep in mind it will stretch with weight). When you finish your last row, make sure that
when you fold your strap over you can still work the next connecting row. You should finish so when you hold the bag up
by the strap and you trace down the strap, you will end up on the outside of
the bag.
Join
your strap to the opposite side of the bag by working a row of sc around both
the stitches on the strap and the stitches of the top of the bag.
Cut
your yarn and weave in your ends.

Tulle Dish Scrubbers- Crochet
Tulle Dish Scrubbers
Crochet pattern by Nadine Borovicka
http://nadinescrafts.blogspot.com/
http://nadinespatterns.blogspot.com/
A crocheted dish scrubber that is great to use to remove that stuck on stuff. But it is gentle enough to not ruin your dishes. One side is smoother while the other has ridges from working in the back look. Made from a roll of tulle that can be found in your local craft stores wedding aisle, I can get about 4 or 5 smaller or 2 to 3 larger scrubbers from each roll.
Materials:
1, 6 inch roll of tulle- usually about 25 yards long
Size I crochet hook
Scissors
Abbreviations:
SC- single crochet
Dec- decrease
DC- double crochet
Ch- chain
BLO- back loop only
St(s)- stitch(es)
Directions:
Prepare Tulle-
Take the roll of tulle and cut it in half lengthwise. This should give you two strips of tulle approximately 25 yds long and 3 inches wide. These can be tied together and rolled into a ball to work from. Your cut doesn’t have to be super straight. The strips will be bunched up when you work with them, so uneven edges won’t show. And knots in the strips aren’t a problem. The ends of the knot can be moved to the inside of the scrubber to provide a bit of stuffing.

Licensing
So I've made a few changes on my patterns. I've changed my Copyright/Licensing statement
From: This pattern, chart, and photos are property of Nadine Borovicka. All rights reserved. Pattern is available for personal use only. Pattern may not be sold or used to produce items for sale without express written permission from the designer. (c) Copyright 2010 (or whatever year it was written) by Nadine Borovicka.
To: Copyright (c) Nadine Borovicka 2010 All Rights Reserved. No part of this document may be reproduced or distributed without written consent from the author.
What does this mean?!?! (sorry couldn't resist the double rainbow reference). Essentially I don't want to put any restrictions on what you do with my patterns and legally, I really can't. So I am removing that restriction, that at the time I started designing patterns seemed standard. Personally the restriction on what you do with the finished object only makes sense if the person who designed the pattern is also selling the item. Ex. If I design a sweater and also sell them for $50, when someone buys my pattern for $5 and then sells those sweaters I am losing out on $45 in revenue. But if I sell the pattern for $5 but don't sell the items, I'm not losing money if someone else sells the item. The person buying the item probably isn't capable or willing to make the sweater so if they would never have bought my pattern, I'm not losing out on the sale. There is my logic.
I am only asking two things of those of you who make things from my patterns (who I love because I feel like a real designer every time someone uses a pattern I've written). First, if you do make my project for yourself, for sale, for charity, whatever a little recognition would be very welcome. A link to my blog from yours or a nod to the designer when they ask you where you got it. Second, if you do sell a bunch of items made from my patterns and become rich, take a look through my Etsy store. I would really appreciate it. :)
This blog post will take precedence over what is currently on the patterns here and on Ravelry. It is going to take a while to get them all changed. Oh and this change only affects the finished items you make. Please don't copy or distribute my patterns. If you have a group that wants to make my items, please send them all to the blog or Ravelry to print it out. Traffic means publicity means possible Etsy sales.
