First of all...

Stitches: Ch, sc, dc

Yarn: Any worsted weight (#4) cotton in rainbow colors, or any colors you like. Get creative and rep your flag! Clean Cotton at Rows & Roses is an excellent choice.

Hook: H8/5mm

Sizes: Adjustable. My motifs are approx. 7” wide and 3.5” tall.

Gauge: Absolutely not important

NOTES:
~ Picot is worked as follows: ch 2, sl st in first ch made
~ Please make the starting dc of each row however you like. I used a standing double crochet, but you can use a “ch 3, (counts as a st,) dc in first st” or a “ch 2 (does not count as a st,) 2dc in first st.” This is yours. Make it how you like it.

Let's Go!

Pattern:

Motif:
Ch 4. Join with sl st to first ch made. Now you have a ring.

1) 6dc in ring. Do NOT join. Turn.

2) 2dc in each st across. Turn.

3) (dc, ch 1) in first st, *dc in next st, (dc, ch 1) in next st; rep from * to last st, dc in last st. Turn.

4) Dc in first st, *(dc, ch 1, dc) in ch-1 sp, dc 2; rep from * to last ch-1 sp, (dc, ch 1, dc) in last ch-1 sp, dc in last st. Turn.

5) Dc in first two st, *(dc, ch 1, dc) in ch-1 sp, dc 4; rep from * to last ch-1 sp, (dc, ch 1, dc) in last ch-1 sp, dc 2. Turn.

6) Ch 1, sc 3, *(2 sc, picot, sc) in ch-1 sp, sc 6; rep from * to last ch-1 sp, (2 sc, picot, sc) in last ch-1 sp, sc 3. Do not turn, do not cut! Continue to border.

Border:

Work two more sc in same st, sc evenly across the top of motif. Work two more sc in last st and join with sl st to first sc from Row 6.

Cut yarn, weave in ends.

Make as many motifs as you like. I made seven, one in each ROYGBIV color to create a true rainbow. Once you are finished making motifs, join them with a long chain, working into the top border stitches of each motif and chaining between them.

This is how I joined mine, but again, please make this your own.

In white, ch 12, join with sl st to first ch made (this makes a hanging loop,) ch 20, sl st into the back loop of each st across top of first motif. After final sl st, ch 1, and continue working across top of second motif.

Once finished with the final motif, ch 20, place marker in ch on hook, ch 12 more, join with sl st to marked ch, remove marker.

Weave in ends. Hang anywhere you need to remember how amazing you are and how bright and happy life can be <3

Please show us your banners! Share a pic to your favorite social media and tag @RowsAndRoses and #RowsAndRosesPride so we can all see what you’ve created. As always, if you need me, I’m only a click or two away.

LYS Day

Posted on April 14, 2022April 18, 2022 by Sati <3

April 30, Let’s Celebrate!

Are you ready for an amazing good time at your Local Yarn Shop? Join us on Saturday, April 30 for the 5th Annual LYS Day. This is the day where we all celebrate our local yarn shop, get to know the local yarn community, participate in a community project, and enjoy snacks, coupons, and fun, all day long!
This year, Rows & Roses Yarn & Fiber will be participating for the very first time, and we have a super fun project for you to get in on. We’re making squares to frame the front windows, so everyone driving by will KNOW where the yarn shop is.
Yarn and hooks will be provided to use while in store to make your square. At this time, I do not have a set of “shop needles” for public use, so knitters, bring your own needles! Knit or crochet a square, any size (within reason, of course,) right here in the sitting area while sipping coffee or tea, munching on goodies, and enjoying the company of other local yarn lovers. Once your square is complete, I’ll trade you a coupon for it with no expiration date. In fact, you can turn right around and use it that very day!

All the fun details...

There are so many things happening on this special day! Come on into the shop to enjoy:

~ Exclusive LYS Day colorway, “Orchids,” will be available in Rows & Roses Hand-dyed Yarn in multiple bases.
~ Free copy of knit Coterie Shawl pattern with purchase of any two skeins/balls of fingering weight yarn.
~ Special Rows & Roses Yarn & Fiber merch will be available.
~ Light refreshments provided.

As if this weren’t enough of a good time…… perhaps we’ll put a few things on sale. You know, to make it interesting.
We’re open 10am-5pm that day, so come early, bring a friend, make a square, and enjoy all the fun and friendship your LYS can provide.

Karma Vest

Posted on April 10, 2022April 10, 2022 by Sati <3

FREE crochet pattern

Get glitzy and glam this spring with a brand new vest! Karma Vest makes the most out of your Lang Karma by letting this shimmery yarn do it’s thing. A super easy fold-over construction makes this a cinch to seam, and the ability to just toss it on (or off!) allows for ease of wear. The open stitch pattern makes it a quick stitch, and the FRINGE! Oh my, that fringe is everything.

Want a printable .pdf for just $1.99? Click here.

The Details

Stitches: Ch, sc, dc, sdc (standing double crochet)
Yarn: Lang Karma, DK (#3) 311 yards per ball, 2 (3) balls
Shown in color 0003
Hook: I9/5.5mm
Sizes: Womens S/M (L/XL)
Across the back, from armhole to armhole, measures 20” (24.25) at rest
Gauge: 5 V-st x 7 rows = 4″, blocked

NOTES: Listen, this is a VERY forgiving, shapeless, fluttery, flappy garment. It doesn’t need to “fit” as much as other garments. I would say the S/M would be good for anyone with average sized back and shoulders, or up to a size L in most womens clothing. The L/XL is best suited for those with a broader back and shoulders. It hangs open in the front, so no need to fit around the bust.

Let's Gooooo!

Pattern:

Ch 83

1) Sc across. Turn. = 82 st

2) Sdc in first st, sk 1, *V-st, sk 2; rep from * to last 3 st, v-st, sk 1, dc in last st. Turn. = 27 V-st

3) Sdc in first st, *V-st in space of V-st; rep from * to last st, dc in last st. Turn.

4-31) Rep Row 3

Divide for front panels:

Panel 1:

Pm in center of 14th V-st. There should be 13 V-st on each side of m.

1) Sdc in first st, *V-st in space of V-st; rep from * until you have 1 V-st left before m, dc in center of that V-st, leaving marked V-st unworked. Turn. = 12 V-st with 1 dc on each end of row.

2) Sdc, *V-st in next V-st; rep from * to last st, dc in last st. Turn.

3-30) Rep Row 2

Cut yarn.

Panel 2:

1) Join yarn in V-st just before marked st with a sdc, leaving marked V-st unworked, *V-st in next V-st; rep from * to last st, dc in last st. Turn. = 12 V-st with 1 dc on each end of row

2) Sdc, *V-st in next V-st; rep from * to last st, dc in last st. Turn.

3-30) Rep Row 2

Cut yarn, weave in ends.

Fold front panels “over the top” to touch end-to-end with back panel. Seam sides as you like them. I left 2” vents at the bottom of mine, and large armholes for a loose, fluttery fit.

Block to measurements (this yarn takes a block pretty well, so don’t be afraid to pull and stretch and pin how you need it. You won’t hurt it.)

Once dry, remove from blocking mat and use remaining yarn to make fringe. I like to wrap mine around a small book over and over so they’re all the same size.

Attach fringe however you want! I attached 3 strands in each V-st sp on both front panels and back panel. You can do more, or fewer, or even add beads to your fringe for a boho look. Make it YOURS! That’s the most important part.

Thank you so much for making a Karma Vest with me! I’d love to see what you’ve created. Post a pic to your favorite social media and tag @RowsAndRoses and #RowsAndRosesKarmaVest so we can all see what you’ve done with yours. As always, if you need me, I’m only a click or two away.

Spring Cardi-along

Posted on March 7, 2022March 7, 2022 by Sati <3

Any pattern, any yarn. Let’s get stitchin’!

Springtime is upon us, and there is nothing like a good cardigan for the chilly mornings and evenings. Here in the South, spring weather is especially fickle and we never know how to dress from one day (or hour) to the next. A light-weight cardi is just what we need. Let’s make one together!

This Cardi-along, like all of the -alongs at Rows & Roses, will err on the side of less rules rather than more. It’s not super structured, and the schedule is just to keep you on track IF you need it. If you can’t make the cast-on party, or you’re not quite halfway at the halfway mark, please don’t stress! This is supposed to be fun. As long as you wear your finished cardi in for the Fashion Show, you’re good.

Schedule

Cast-on Party: Tuesday, March 8 at 2pm (I know it’s called “cast-on” but it’s just a term we’re using. This is for knitters AND crocheters!)
Halfway check-in: Saturday, April 2 (you can swing by for a WIP pic, or you can simply post your own on the page or in the group.)
Fashion Show: Friday, May 27 at 2pm

You can find all of the info, as well as a discussion thread, in the event on Facebook. If you can’t make it into the shop, or if you have pictures to post, questions to ask, or ideas to share, this is where you can do that!

Perfect Yarns

Not sure which yarn you want to use? I’m here to help! All of the yarns shown below are excellent choices for a spring cardigan.
Some of these yarns have limited quantities (such as Divina, which has been discontinued by the manufacturer,) and others have not yet made it into the shop (the ones that say “sold out” on the website.) Don’t worry, we have plenty of choices for the cast-on party, and if you want to wait a little longer, MUCH more on the way.

Come shop all of them here.

I can’t wait to see everyone’s creations. Come to the cast-on party if you can make it, and be sure to bring your cardi into the shop to work on throughout the spring if you’re local. If you’re not local, you may post all of your pictures and ideas in the facebook event. There are tons of pattern ideas listed in the event discussion, as well, so if you’re needing inspiration, that’s the place to go.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns- whether about yarn, patterns, sizes, gauge, blocking, or anything else- I’m just a click or a phone call away.

Chev Scarf

FREE Pattern

Hey hey, fellow fiber artists. I’m dropping a new crochet pattern on you today, and it comes about for one very important reason: Berroco Remix Light is in the house at Rows & Roses Yarn & Fiber! I could not wait to get my hands on this super fun, super soft yarn, and this Chev Scarf is just what fell off my hook.

Crocheted in a chevron stitch but in one solid color, this lightweight scarf is a great summertime weight, and super quick to work up. Tassels on the ends make it extra fun to wear. If you’re looking for a quick project to try out a yarn, this is it.

Want a printable .pdf of this pattern for just $1.99? Click here.

The Details

Stitches: Ch, dc, dc2tog over 3 ch/st
Yarn: Berroco Remix Light (#3) DK weight, 400 yards, 1 ball. Shown in color 6984
Hook: US7/4.5mm
Sizes: 4” wide, 78” long w/ tassels

Gauge: not important

NOTES:

Dc2tog over next 3 ch/st: work a dc2tog as usual, putting the first “leg” in the first ch/st and the second “leg” in the third ch/st, skipping the ch/st in the middle (second ch/st.)

Let's Goooo!

Pattern:

Ch 17

Row 1) 2dc in 3rd ch from hook, dc 2, dc2tog over next 3 ch, dc 2, (dc, ch 1, dc,) in next ch, dc 2, dc2tog over next 3 ch, dc 2, 2dc in last ch. Turn.

Rep Row 2 until the scarf is as long as you want.

Make tassels or fringe by wrapping yarn multiple times around your phone, a deck of cards, a wide remote control, or anything around that size. Cut strands through the middle and use a large crochet hook (or your fingers) to pull them through the points at either end of the scarf. Secure strands.

Voila. You’re finished! Quick, easy, and stylish, I bet you’ll love this scarf for years to come. Have fun with this pattern, and be sure to share your projects on your favorite social media with the tags @RowsAndRoses and #RowsAndRosesChevScarf so we can all enjoy your creation.

The End of a Season

Posted on January 23, 2022January 23, 2022 by Sati <3

A closing door can mean freedom

Hello, friends. I hope you have all had a great start to the new year. 2022 should be kind to us after all we’ve been through, don’t you think?

I come to you today with a bit of an announcement, as well as just some ramblings and wonderings. I hope you can indulge me.

A little over a week ago, I received some pretty shocking and upsetting news: WeCrochet, the crochet company and yarn brand which I have been so quick to support in every way, and have been entwined with in so many ways since they first went live, made a very strange decision. Without a word of warning, they pulled almost all of their lace and fingering weight yarns from their site. Their explanation, when asked by a concerned Ravelry user? “Those yarns aren’t really used for crochet.”

I lost my breath, my stomach hit the floor, and I stared aghast at my computer screen for probably a full minute. Is this real life? Not used for crochet? Since when?!

So many of us designers, who not only design with their yarns but actually FOR THEIR BRAND, use these yarns often. We have patterns in their Independent Designer Program using these yarns. These patterns are sold on their site, with the intentions of having visitors purchase the yarns for the patterns. How, then, are we to sell our patterns if the yarns are not also available?

Before anyone helpfully reminds me that Knit Picks is basically the same company and sells these yarns, so we can just go get them there…… that is completely beside the point. WeCrochet is supposed to be all about crochet. They are supposed to support crochet designers and offer a spotlight for showing what crochet can do and be, without the overall implication of being a counterpart to knitting. You cannot claim to be a crochet advocate while simultaneously limiting the yarns for your crocheters to use. I have designed crochet patterns and created crocheted items from #10 thread all the way up to super-bulky. Saying that lighter weight yarns aren’t used for crochet is just ignorant and enhances the stigma that crochet is only good for certain things.

Due to all of this madness, I have a two part announcement to make.

First...

After my latest pattern goes live in March (a pattern they asked for, using a yarn that they don’t even sell now, so…huh? Whatever.) I will be distancing myself from the WeCrochet brand.

I will no longer be designing patterns in their yarn, considering that not all of their yarns are “for me.” My existing patterns will remain in their IDP program for as long as they will leave them there. I mean, every little bit helps for us starving artists, right? However, no more new patterns for them. I’m appalled at their attitude and cannot in good conscience continue to support them.

I will still test patterns when they send them to me, as we crocheters NEED the patterns tested! I feel better knowing that patterns go through such rigorous testing (they really do) before they are released. And again, every little bit helps.

Also...

I have decided to take this year off from designing in a “designing as a business” capacity. I miss creating new things and trying out new ideas simply for the sake of enjoyment. Being an ambassador for two years brought me 24 hard deadlines. I was happy to do it, and it was a wonderful opportunity, but now I am ready to relax into creating for fun.

I’m not saying I won’t release any new patterns this year. I’m just saying that I will not be shackling myself to deadlines or contracts that will push me to go go go like I’ve had to do for the past two years. I will self-publish as I choose, and I hope to work with Expression Fiber Arts and Interweave again this year if they will be willing to work with my self-imposed LACK of designing schedule. I’m happy with a deadline that’s 10 months away. Not so much with 4 weeks…. you feel me? It’s been stressful and I’m ready to unwind and relax with my yarn again!

In closing...

If you have made it this far through my self-indulgent rant, I thank you kindly from the bottom of my heart. The friends, fans, and customers of Rows & Roses are the lifeblood of this brand. You are all in the details of everything I do and every pattern, yarn, and event that I put out there. Never have I felt more validated, more appreciated, or more loved than when I am in the thick of it with all of you. Every like, every share, every page view, every download… they all mean the world to me.

Thanks for being my friends. Thanks so much for your support. I adore every single one of you. You are what keeps me going ♥

October 2021 Showcase

Posted on October 28, 2021October 28, 2021 by Sati <3

Monthly round up of yarny goodness

And there goes another month! October has been crazy busy due to Specials & Customs and Warm Fuzzies combining into the biggest commissions event of the year. I was thrilled to get to make so many wonderful things for my lovely people, and I want to share them with you in this October 2021 Showcase.

Let’s take a look at some of the things that went down this past month. Please enjoy!

Fresh off the hook!

Patterns and such

My latest free pattern on my blog is Winterland, a light-as-air poncho that is so much warmer than you’d think. Crocheted in WeCrochet’s Wonderfluff Ombre, this poncho uses crocheted cables to create icicle-like columns. It is such a fun make, and can be worked up quickly!

Swirled is just one of the four fabulous patterns that dropped with my brand new eBook this year.
This skirt is made for hugging your curves and is sized for up to a 54″ waist. Using the drop & swap technique, you can have yourself a super warm and flattering winter skirt in no time. Perfect for wearing over leggings!

Thanks for stopping by to check out the October 2021 Showcase! I always love showing you all the new things, and it means so much to me that you come back, month after month.
