Upcycled Christmas Baubles

November 07, 2023 10 Comments
For several years now, I've had a Seahawks themed Christmas tree. Each year I buy and make a few new Seahawks themed ornaments to add to our tree. So I decided to take a few old scratched up Christmas ornaments and turn them into crochet baubles with blue, green, and silver yarn. The yarn that I used has been in my stash for years. I used a skein of Red Heart Sports Team yarn and Red Heart Metallic yarn to create these fun baubles.

Halloween Gnome Scarf (Beetlejuice)

This yearn I've decided to make a couple Halloween themed gnome scarves. I made one with the tradtitional Halloween colors of black, orange, green, and purple (Halloween Gnome Scarf). And for this one, I decided to go with a Beetlejuice theme. To create this scarf, I followed the Fall Gnome Scarf pattern by Heidi Yates/Snappy Tots, but I used the colors green, black, white, and purple.

Times Square Baby Blanket #2

A couple years ago, I made a baby blanket for my aunt to celebrate her first great grandbaby. She loved the blanket and recently asked me to make a couple more baby blankets. She asked for a blue blanket and a pink blanket (Times Square Baby Blanket) just like the one I gifted her before. I finished the blue blanket (Saturday Blue Jeans Baby Blanket), and now I've finally finished the pink one. I made it exactly like the first Times Square Baby Blanket, but I used white yarn instead of off white

Three-Strip Flower Scarf

Lately, I've been exploring the crochet pattern book collection at my local library, and I came across a book (Vogue® Knitting on the Go! Crocheted Scarves Two)with a scarf pattern that I absolutely love.  Sometimes when I check out books, I'll crochet a project in the book, and sometimes I don't! But this time, I did. I was excited to try something new, especially since I knew this project would be perfect for the September Sustainable Craft Challenge. This month's theme is Nature, and the scarf I'm sharing has lots of crochet flowers and leaves.

She asked for a blue blanket and a pink blanket (Times Square Baby Blanket) just like the one I gifted her before. So far, I've finished the blue blanket, but I'm still working on the pink one.
