Plarn Basket Crochet

Just created this basket (7'' in height and roundness) from plastic bags by doing double crochet. The plastic bags are 40 microns thick in my city so it's very nice for plarn crocheting. 
These are like transparent bags that a supermarket here is providing from their vegetable section, I thought of collecting it, even If I had to wash the dirty bags, thought of recycling plastic bags instead of throwing it. And the edging on top of this plarn basket is done from milk packets bags.

Mobile Pouch 2

 Did this one for my dear hubby recently. White seems to be a good color to blend with dark colors but white is getting dirty so quickly so I don't use much it on my crochet works.

Cellphone pouch crochet

Im working on a cell pouch for my hubby from the new crochet thread I bought recently. I'm making a broader and bigger one as the phone is 10 1/2 cm in height and 5 cm in width. Will post a pic soon. It's really time consuming with this smaller threads.
Feels great after finishing with this one.


I used 2.5 mm crochet hook and No.10 Crochet Thread.
Dark brown and white is really a great combination.
The size of the phone 6cm x 11 1/2.

Triangle Head Scarf

I started working on this head scarf today and here's a pic of the first eight rows and below with 31 rows. (I'm not even half done). I guess I'll have to continue untill I reach my desired size.
8 rows
31 rows
I finished off with black border for contrast.
The link for the free pattern is sunshinescreations.vintagethreads.com    or below
  • Size E crochet hook and favorite yarn
Pattern
ch 5, form ring
Row 1: ch 4 (counts as 1 dc, 1ch now and throughout the pattern), (dc, ch1 in ring)x2 dc in ring turn.
Row 2: ch4, dc in 1st dc, ch1, (dc in next space, ch 1) across, dc in last dc. Repeat row 2 to desired length. 
Once you get to the length and width you want, chain 46, in second chain from hook sc in every chain giving you 45 sc on your chain. (If you want longer ties, make a longer chain).

Continue making single crochets down the side of the triangle. Make two single crochets around each double crochet or chain 3 whichever is there.

When you get to the point of the triangle, place five sc in the space at the point. (Your original chain 5 ring).

Continue as before making single crochets down the side of the triangle. Make two single crochets around each double crochet or chain 3 whichever is there.

When you get to the next corner, place 2 single crochet around the dc then chain 46 for next tie. Sc in second chain from hook, same as before. You will have 45 sc on your chain.
Sc in top of turning dc and in ch 1 sp, (sc in top of next dc and next chain space) across. Finish with a sc in top of last dc and slip stitch into back side of first chain on first tie strap. Cut and finish thread.

Crochet a deco rose

This one's my first attempt and I don't have a bright yarn for the flower. But I really love the design of this one. The pattern's very easy. Remember to watch the youtube tutorial, as there are parts that you have to work in back loops but not mentioned on the website instructions.
Got the pattern of deco rose from windrosefiberstudio deco rose

Phone pouch, 5"

This one is very simple and easy. I just did this one according to the size of my phone. A 3'' screen phone can be easily accomodated by this pouch. I have not attached a cover yet, cos I'm still thinking of a design. I used a size 10 or 3.25 mm crochet hook. For the yarn, I'm not sure about the size but it's not the thin yarn.
