The Motif pattern

hello my lovely followers!
I hope you
 are doing great,
i have been M.I.A for a while,
not intentional 
balancing work, school and projects has proved tricky
am starting to wonder,
what happened to my multi-tasking skills????
so here is the pattern for the motif that i promised in my
 previous post

THE MOTIF TUTORIAL


row1:chain 6 slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring
row2: chain 6 (this acts as the first treble and some space), *treble into the ring and chain 3* repeat seven times. you should have 8 spaced trebles
row 3:chain 8 and dc into the spaces in between the trebles above,repeat seven times so that you have 8 chained loops
row 4& 5:*chain 3 and make 3 trebles into the loop chain 3 and make 3 trebles in the same loop* ,(you should be having 6 trebles spaced by three chains in one loop) repear ** till you have filled the loops
repeat rows 4 & 5 till you have the desired size
bind off by slip stitching all around

you can make several motifs and join them 




The red jacket project is finally over:-)
yay!
photos are coming soon
the jacket turned out pretty interesring
with a few changes here and there.
i just
love it

Featured on SusanD1408 Crochet Addict guest blogger week 5

Hi all hope you are doing wonderful.My week has started off well after being a guest blogger at
which was the highlight of the week. 
I am so grateful to Susan for having me as a guest at her blog.
i gave a tutorial on how to make a crocheted belt. To view the whole post please click the link below
but here is the tutorial

Materials
Ø  Left over yarn (two colors) I used black and grey
Ø  A buckle
  Ø  A needle 
  Ø  A crochet hook

NB
Make sure that the yarn is heavy and the size of hook is proportionate to the thread for the right tension. The trick is to ensure that the belt does not stretch out.

Steps
Chain eleven stitches with the first yarn. (Or depending on the size of your buckle and how wide you want your belt.)
Dc on the second chain  ,  all through there after and turn. *chain one and dc till the end and turn*
Repeat ** till the length of belt you want
Then change to the other yarn (different color) till the length of the previous color
Now you have your belt twice the length you need
Press the belt so as to ensure the two colored stripes are equal
Place the buckle in the middle of the belt and do even running stitches just below it
The do even running stitches all over the belt using the main color thread
And voila you got your amazing crocheted belt


please do not forget to go to Susan D's blog and check her out
