Snooze in style this summer with the cranny chic eye mask. Perfect for summer
0:04
naps or those long vacation plane journeys. So I'm going to start with a
0:09
slipknot on my hook I've got a 4mm and I'm using Aran or
0:13
Worsted weight yarn. We're going to chain 4 and then join that to make a ring
0:24
and then we're going to chain 3 this counts as our first double crochet. I'm
0:31
going to put 11 double crochet right into that ring. For a total of 12 double crochet and then we're going to slip stitch to the top of
0:45
that chain 3 and I'm going to slip stitch into the space between these two
0:52
stitches here so you put your hook in between stitches and slip stitch then
0:59
chain 3 this counts as a double crochet and put another double crochet in that
1:04
same space. Then we're going to go to the next space between stitches and put 2
1:12
double crochet in there and then we're going to repeat this around putting 2 double crochet in
1:23
each space between stitches. For a total of 24 double crochet and then go to slip
1:29
stitch into the top of that chain 3 and fasten off. We're now ready to join in our
1:36
new color so put your hook in between the clusters so each where you've got
1:42
two stitches together that forms a cluster so we're going to put our hook
1:45
between two clusters and chain 3 this counts as a double crochet. We're going
1:57
to put two more double crochet into that same space. When you have three double crochet stitches worked to the same space like
2:12
this it's known as a granny cluster so we're going to look for our next space
2:17
between the clusters and put three double crochet or a granny cluster in there
2:25
We're then going to go ahead and put a granny cluster in each of the spaces
2:32
between our two double crochet clusters. The granny circle should look something
2:38
like this and again we're going to join the slip stitch to the top of that chain 3 and we're going to slip stitch in each stitch across to the next space so
2:53
that's a slip stitch in the next two stitches and one into that space and
2:58
then we're going to chain 4. This counts as our first treble. I'm going to put two
3:05
more trebles into that same space so yarn over twice for trebles
3:11
chain 1 and then three more trebles into that same space
3:35
and then the next space three double crochet and the same in the next space
3:56
and the next place we're going to work another corner so we're going to have three trebles, chain 1, 3 trebles
4:05
now I'm going to go ahead and put a granny cluster in the next two spaces
4:21
now in the next one two three four spaces we're going to put a granny
4:26
cluster and a double crochet so that's a total of four double crochet in each of
4:32
those next four spaces and then in the last two spaces we're going to put two more granny clusters so
4:47
that's three double crochet in each and then finally slip stitch to the top of that chain 4
5:02
and fasten off. So there's your finished motif it's kind of half circle half
5:07
square what you need to do next is go ahead and make another motif but only up
5:11
to round 3 so work rounds 1, 2 and 3 and then we will join our next motif as we
5:19
go. Okay so I've just finished off round 3 I'm going to go ahead and slip stitch
5:23
into the next two stitches and then into the chain space and then I'm going
5:33
to chain 4 which counts as our first treble this is the beginning of our
5:37
corner two more trebles into the same space and I'm going to get our other motif make sure you have the wrong side facing
5:55
upwards and then I'm going to put my hook into that corner and join with a
6:01
slip stitch and then chain one for that corner chain space and then put three
6:06
more trebles into that same space you okay so then we're going to look for the next chain space along and slip stitch
6:31
there and a granny cluster in this space then look for the next space and we're going to slip stitch there and another
6:50
granny cluster look for the next space and slip stitch and now we're back at the where we're
7:02
going to work our next corner so we're going to put three trebles into the next space
7:13
you I'm going to slip stitch into that corner chain one and then another three
7:27
trebles into that same space we're then going to finish this motif off exactly the same as this one so the
7:41
next two spaces will be granny clusters the next four spaces granny cluster plus
7:45
a double crochet and then finally two granny clusters in the last two spaces
7:49
and then join to the top of that chain four okay once you've joined your two
7:56
motifs and joined with a slip stitch to the top of that chain four then we're going to fasten off okay what we're going to do next is we're going to use
8:03
this as a template to draw around our belt to get the size that we need so you
8:07
want to just kind of gently stretch it into shape and flatten down that bit
8:12
where it's joined and get it so it's nice and straight around the edges and
8:18
then take your felt place your crochet on top just kind of just about fits
8:32
and just draw around your edge like so and then we're going to go ahead cut around that
9:01
so once you've cut your piece of felt you can just lay that aside for now
9:05
that's just so that we get it so that it's let me show you on this piece so
9:09
you want it so that it's just slightly smaller than your crochet piece right
9:19
I'm going to put a slipknot on my hook with our contrast color and then if you
9:25
look at your piece where the two corners are you've got one corner here to the
9:29
right another corner here to the left I'm going to put a single crochet in
9:33
that left corner space and then I'm going to start doing a single crochet into each stitch around
9:44
the edge and you're going to keep going until you get to the middle clusters so you can
10:00
see here this space is at the top of our motif so we're going to put a single
10:05
crochet into that space and then you're going to change 70 so how long you need
10:15
your chain to be really depends on I guess how big the person's head is 70 is
10:21
about the right size for an adult you can make it longer or shorter if you need to once you've got your 70 chains we're going to fasten off
10:34
pull that tight and then you can trim leave about half an inch to an inch
10:40
because you don't want that knot to come undone so leave a little bit there we're
10:47
then going to join into the side of this single crochet here so put your hook right in the middle
10:55
make sure it goes through both those loops at the front and the back pull your yarn through and slip stitch
11:08
pull that tight and then we're going to continue single crocheting in every
11:12
stitch around once you get to where our corners are joined
11:21
I'm going to put a single crochet into this first corner one single crochet in the
11:28
space where the join is one single crochet in the next corner and then
11:35
continue around with single crochet in each stitch until you get to the top
11:41
where you've got the space here and then you will just repeat the process for the other tie so you'll single crochet in that space chain 70 fasten off slip
11:50
stitch into the single crochet and continue around ending with single crochet in this corner space and the space between the join and then slip
12:00
stitch to this first single crochet ok so we've joined to a slip stitch to that first single crochet I'm just going to
12:07
fasten off now at this point you should go ahead and weave in your ends and then I'll show you how to
12:13
sew on the lining so I'm just using some embroidery thread to sew on the
12:18
lining and this actually came with the felt I ordered so I will try and link
12:22
the felt and this in the description so you want to separate your thread I'm
12:28
using about half so it's about three strands let's attach our yarn... yarn? I'm going to attach the thread
12:43
just by doing a few stitches on top of each other here it doesn't really matter
12:47
exactly where you start and then through into the felt
13:11
if you want a more professional finish then go ahead and use pins ok so I'm just going to do a very simple running stitch going just slightly into
13:24
the crochet and then coming back out again now you can use whichever sewing stitch you like
13:32
this one I'm using a yarn... I keep saying yarn! I'm using a thread that stands out a
13:39
little bit from from the lining I like the way it looks like that but if you
13:43
want to use invisible stitches you can go ahead and do that so you're going to go and work your way all the way around
13:49
so I've gone all the way around I'm just going to finish off by doing a few stitches on
13:53
top of each other just in that same place so it's got stuck on there we go and then I'm going to hide that tail just by
14:08
going through and then cutting that off and then just... there you go, that's gone now and there you have it
