Welcome to the Hooked and Locked CAL 2021 – Log Cabin (HAL CAL 2021) <Edit May 3 2021: The pattern is  no longer available for free. You can buy it from my Ravelry shop (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/the-craftsteachers-ravelry-store).  The parts for the tutorials are still available.> After the previous two CALs of the fall of 2018 and spring of 2020, it was about time for a new CAL. Interwoven crochet again, but just a little bit different this time. We will be making a blanket in the Log Cabin technique, where blocks are crocheted together right away in a ‘circular’ way.

What happened lately It looks a bit quiet on my side, and that is correct, that is, publicly. My husband and I are having quite a challenging year. We sold our house and bought another one, and this all in Corona-times. We moved in two steps from the western side to the eastern side of this country. Moving is one of the most stressful activities in a persons life anyway, but add to this a child that became quite ill (and I’m thankful to tell she completely recovered), and Corona, that made a lot of things go down, well, I guess you will have anRead More →

Roman Tiles for the Scheepjes Stone Washed/River Washed Colour Pack Here it is: the Roman Tiles pattern, that I designed especially for the Scheepjes Stone Washed/River Washed Colour Pack.. It is made using the interwoven crochet technique it the round, and the blocks are joined right away with the join-as-you-go method. If you click on the picture next to this, you will see the backside of the blanket. It is not a very large pattern, but the beauty is in the use of the gorgeous colors of the yarn. You will make 54 ‘solid’ blocks, and extra blocks on each side with the leftovers ofRead More →

Long-awaited, but here it is! It took quite some time, and I admit I have hesitated if I would do this, but decided that I will!!! A new CAL! I got inspired, and thought it should be doable, despite the super busy period I’m in personally. No worries, it is all very positive, but it takes a lot of my time and energy. And I’m really wanting to do it! Because honestly, I became a little ‘crochet tired’. I have always been a woman with lots of crafting hobbies, and I like to switch between things. I also just wanted to spend more time withRead More →

Interwoven crochet in the round Have you already done interwoven crochet, but would you want to get the effect of this picture? This is possible, without complicated color changes! You can do this by doing interwoven crochet that is done in the round. I have made a quite elaborate tutorial here on the website, with lots and lots of pictures, drawings and a lot of explaining. I do the tutorial using the pattern shown on top of this blog. The pattern of Starburst will be published later, so please have a little bit more patience for that. I have 3 videos that go along withRead More →

On these pages I show you how you can attach the squares that you have crocheted with the interwoven crochet technique ‘in the round’, using a flat join. This is a ‘join as you go’-method, which means that you join the blocks while crocheting the last row of a block. It is really super simple, and it limits the number of threads that you have to finish. Pages of this tutorial I splitted the tutorial up in several pages. Introduction and first join: that’s this page Next join: click here to go to that page Last join: click here to go to that page The videoRead More →
