Mario Mushroom Hat Free Pattern

so I was sitting in my chair crocheting while watching my husband play the Wii and I thought "I should make him a Mario Mushroom hat" I made him a 1up hat a couple years ago so I decided to make the red one this time :) When I was done he asked me why I made him the red one and not the green one. (Green is our favorite color) and I proudly stated "Because bigger is better!" LOL also it is the original Nintendo colors. Anyways, I figured I would post the pattern because Christmas is coming up. I don't know about most of you but I am really poor and make a lot of my Christmas gifts.

Crochet for Beginners

Hi, here is some new things for beginners. i left some videos in the end enjoy :)

If you have ever baked a batch a cookies or baked a cake then you know most people start with a recipe and the right ingredients. Most seasoned cooks started out with something basic like chocolate chip cookies before making their first three layer cake. If you are new to crochet it is helpful to learn the basic three ingredients or tools to help you as a beginner in crochet.
Supplies
There a few basic tools you will need to get started. You will need yarn, crochet hook and scissors. When choosing yarn select a smooth yarn, as you progress you can move on to textured yarns. Textured yarns will be fuzzy and hard to work with as a beginner. Choose light colors over dark colors while you are learning the basic stitches, they will be easier to see. Start with a bulky weight yarn, on the label it will have a number, make sure it is 4’ or higher. This is the yarn weight number. You will have a choice between yarn or crochet thread, as a beginner you should start with the yarn. When you start making more involved projects such as laced tablecloths you would opt for the crochet thread. There are several different fibers to choose from when selecting yarn. As a beginner wool yarn is easy to work with and very forgiving of mistakes, it is easy to unravel and reuse. Cotton yarn is a bit more difficult to work as a beginner, if you are allergic to wool, cotton is a great second choice. The most popular yarn available is acrylic. It is affordable, available everywhere and comes a variety of colors. As a beginner you should avoid acrylic yarn if your budget allows it, if not find a median priced acrylic yarn and avoid the cheaper made acrylic yarns.
Stitches
There are several basic stitches in crochet, the chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet stitch, half double crochet stitch, double crochet stitch and the treble crochet stitch, also known as the triple crochet stitch. The chain stitch is the first stitch most will learn when starting to crochet. It is the foundation for most projects. The slip stitch is versatile and generally used to join two pieces together. The single crochet stitch is a series of short stitches and considered a building block for most projects. The half double crochet stitch, double crochet stitch and the treble crochet stitch will create texture and design in your projects.
Patterns
The pattern will give you the step by step directions for the project. To get familiar with reading a pattern and learn the different stitches, you should start with granny squares. This will give you the practice you need to master chain stitches, slip stitches, double crochet stitch, learn the abbreviations, read the rounds and crochet corners.
After you master the granny square your only limited to your imagination. As a beginner you can move on to more exciting projects such as baby blankets in any color, scarfs in any length, ski gear, placemats for any holiday, hobo bags and baby booties. The ideas are endless and the size, color and design are up to you.

The Art of Crocheting Flowers

Knowing how to crochet a flower can give people lots of room to be creative. They can add their crocheted flowers to sweaters, purses, and almost anything else. Crocheted flowers can also make for excellent gifts. Crocheted flowers are versatile, which is all the more reason to learn how to crochet a flower.

Step One: Hobbyists first have to decide upon a type of yarn and a type of hook. Beginners will be surprised to see how much yarn can very in terms of fiber, color, and weight. Beginners should ideally choose thicker types of yarn and thicker hooks.

Step Two: After getting all of the required materials together, hobbyists should chain stitches and make a loop.

Step Three: Hobbyists should create a third chain, which will serve as a base for the petals.

Step Four: Hobbyists then need to create a series of fourteen double crochets, using the original loop as a support. They can complete the center of the flower by creating a slip stitch for the chain of three.

Step Five: Using the first stitch, hobbyists can create a half double crochet, followed by a double and triple crochet.

Step Six: Using the next stitch, hobbyists can create a triple, double, and half double crochet followed by a slip stitch at the level of the next stitch. At this point, hobbyists will have created the first petal. They can perform the same steps in order to get all of the petals that they need to create a balanced and lovely flower. The last stitch needs a slip stitch. At that point, hobbyists just need to tie everything off and conceal the thread.

Crocheting a flower is a very involved process, but even beginners can quickly get the hang of it. For some people, it may be much easier than it sounds.
