I love everything Twinkie chan does, she is one awesome crochet lady who produces super amazingly cute things. I now luckily own two of her amazing things, her heart cookie and her cupcake beret!
A while back she posted a free pattern and video to make candy garlands, since they are just a rectangle I thought now was the chance for me to learn to crochet - with something cute and simple!
Ta daaaa, these took way too long and yeah - don't look too closely but I'm still proud as punch. I think I found crochet slightly easier than knitting but yeah don't expect anything else from me, I still have two scarfs on the go (as promised presents) from 2011 :p
Twinkie chan's tutorial is here but I also needed some additional help :p I used Meet Me At Mikes tutes for learning to make a slip knot and to start me off with chain stitch and then I used this YouTube video to get more familiar :) Each Candy took me a good few hours to do...yikes but it was really fun!
If you want to see some amazing crochet though check out my Twinkie Chan goodies below!
even though it's too hot too wear at the moment, this super cute cupcake beret gives me one thing to be excited about winter for!
It's cute cherry and sprinkles on top!
and my heart cookie!
can be worn as a clip in your hair or as a brooch :)
I'm definitely going to rock it on valentines day!!
