Recently I made some knitted baby hanger covers and really liked them. Then I decided I would crochet some instead and I must admit I like the finished product much better and will be doing it this way from now on.
Knit Picks Shine Worsted is one of my favorite yarns for various baby items therefore I usually have quite a variety of it in my stash {although it is time to restock ~ yay!} and I have discovered yet another thing it is really nice for now. So using that and a size F hook {I am a loose crocheter/knitter} I chained 11 stitches and after turning the first row continued to chain 1 and single crochet 10 stitches every row for approximately 48 rows or about 10 inches ~ to cover the hanger. Of course this could be adjusted for an adult sized hanger as well.
Then I added a little rosebud and leaf to the top center but the possibilities for embellishment are endless. I just happen to love roses for anything and everything I can use them on! Anyway, I think they are Oh~ So~ Charming!

Oh I do love roses too Danette.
ReplyDeleteYour hangers look gorgeous. I've crocheted a couple myself before but I think you've just inspired me to make a few more!
Have a lovely week.

Those are adorable! I'd like to take up knitting or crochet sometime. Seems so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda! It is. Too bad we don't live in the same area. I'd love to teach you both or your choice.
DeleteHave a great week!

Oh, those crochet hangers are beautiful, so sweet. Can I ask where you found the little wooden hangers? I've been after a couple for months and have only been able to find plastic ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And sure! I ordered them online sometime ago from a place called:
ReplyDeleteSL STORE FIXTURE, INC.
3755 nw 115TH AVE
MIAMI, FL 33178
U.S.A(305)592-8672
I remember I had to order 25 at a time. Don't remember how much they cost but it seems like about $2.49 per hanger {I think}. They are nice hangers and the company was nice to deal with. Hope this helps!

Those are so pretty! I can see how that could really brighten up a closet :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Mary! Just simple but sweet.
