Bunny Bling!

Bunny Ring Pattern by Divine Debris

Hello! How are you this fine Saturday? I’m actually on vacation, visiting family in Texas, but I needed to update this blog with the bunny ring that I made last week (which you may have already seen on Instagram or FB). Originally I was going to write this blog before I left but, alas, my time got away from me and that did not get done (not to mention that I found my motivation waning). Anyway, to continue with the ring posts that I made as of late (which you can find here), I wanted to make a ring for Easter. You could wear this ring in addition to the egg earrings I posted about a couple of years ago or even make your own applique from last year’s egg update. Actually, I was thinking that if you made it with worsted weight yarn, you’d have to figure out how many stitches to do, you could make your own little egg holder. How cute would that be? It’d be like a yarn version of one of these.

Bunny Ring Pattern by Divine Debris

Materials:
*US 2.25mm crochet hook
*US 2.20mm crochet hook
*Size 10 crochet thread
*Glue (fabric glue is what I used)
*Puffy paint (optional but makes creating a cute tail easy)
*Needle to weave in your ends

Final measurements: 
*Individual bunnies around just over 1″ in height and .5″ in width
*The band is .5″ in height and just over 1.25″ in width when laid flat.

Pattern:
For the bunny itself I used HodgePodge Crochet’s bunny applique pattern (it’s free!). Previously I had made some bunny stud earrings from another pattern I found online but HodgePodge Crochet’s pattern is far superior and the photos are helpful and you can make bunnies that sit back to back (as I did on my ring) without having to think about how to do that. 😀 Seriously, she takes all the guess work out of creating cute bunnies! The hardest part of this pattern might be how tiny and tight the stitches end up when you use the 2.20mm crochet hook. I wanted the band to be less of a tight fit so I used the basic band I’ve used in my Pumpkin and Heart rings.
The bunnies (using the 2.20mm hook): create two bunnies per the instructions on the HodgePodge Crochet pattern, you can do whatever colors you have on hand, and if you want you can make them back to back or facing the same side (crafters choice). If you wanted to use the 2.25mm hook for the bunnies it would be entirely fine, but the bunnies will end up later than you see in the photos.

Bunny Ring Pattern by Divine Debris

For the band (using 2.25mm hook):
Row 1: Ch 25, slip st to form a ring, sc into each st around, slip st into first sc to secure – 25 scs
Rows 2 – 5: Ch 1, sc into each st around, slip st into first st to secure – 25 scs
Fasten off, weave in ends.

Honestly, I think I should have made the band green, which would have worked for the Easter theme of the ring. A neon green would have looked rather adorable, if you ask me, because it would evoke thoughts of that bright green grass that you so often find in kids’ Easter baskets, or at least I did when I was a young-in. After all your ends have been woven in, use the puffy paint to create little fluffy tails. You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to, you could glue a bit of yarn or something too and achieve the same effect. Once the puffy paint (or whatever you used to create the tail) has dried, glue the bunnies to the band. I always use fabric glue when I glue appliques and such onto ring bands, because I have found glues like Super Glue can discolor the thread when used. Just let everything dry and enjoy your new ring! Oh, and if you use the pattern to make an egg holder, let me know in the comments how it turns out.

So, there you have it! A super easy, and I say adorable, crochet bunny ring. Honestly, the bunny pattern by HodgePodge Crochet is so useful, you could make bunnies by the pound with no problems at all.  I’m going to go and enjoy the first day of my vacation that isn’t going to be spent in a car (we drove down here) and I will be back, probably next week some time, to bring you the pattern for my Leah bracelet (on the right).

Take care! Oh, and if you have any ideas on what sort of patterns you’d like to see me post here, just leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do. 😀

Pot of Gold Ring

Hello! I know that on my last post I said that I was going to update this blog here with a pattern for a pot of gold ring,

Pot of Gold/Rainbow ring by Divine Debris

just in time for St. Pat’s Day, and here I am, squeeking in before the day itself. Ha. Actually, I’ve been wanting to do a lot more when it comes to crochet lately but I’ve had some problems with motivation and depression. I’m just going to try to keep my chin up and continue moving forward. In fact, I’m going on a vacation at the end of this month to go visit some family and I think that’s going to help. 🙂

Not that you’ve got past all the yada yada that I was throwing out there, do you still want the pot of gold ring? 😀
I made this pot of gold ring and placed it on top of a rainbow ring base because I thought it would look adorable (side note: I was right :p). You can definitely use whatever colors you would like and perhaps even make this with worsted weight yarn and a size G hook and make it a larger applique. Again, check out this link on how to change colors in the round to help with your seam if you are worried with that.

The Brittany Bow Ring

So… what are you doing these days? Me, oh I’m looking forward to

Blue Brittany Bow Ring from Divine Debris

the holidays! Which, if you knew me in real life, you would find surprising because I’m nearly always a grinch. Ha. Seriously, I don’t usually like holidays but I’m so excited this year to see family, to bake/cook and to give gifts. I’m working on some new ideas, like the Brittany Bow ring (right). What do you think? It’s a variation of the Brittany scarf that’s been quite popular.

Also, remember the pumpkin ring I posted previously? Well, using that same pattern I

made the Candy Corn ring (left). 😀 What do you think? Funny enough, I hate candy corn but I love to make earrings, necklaces and rings in that color design. It’s just so fun!

Oh, and I don’t want to forget: in anticipation for the holidays, I’m featuring a promotion on my website. With any ready to ship product purchase, which is all the products I have listed on the website right now, you can get one free Brittany Bow Ring! Read the details here.

I hope you all like the ring. I really had fun making it. I’m working on some other things, like updating the Brittany pattern so that it features children’s sizes, and I will hopefully update soon with some more fun stuff.

Take care!

Pumpkin times?

So… I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but pumpkin is everywhere this time of year. Coffees, doughnuts, candy, fingernails… all over! So, I thought I’d get in on the fun and make a new

Pumpkin ring pattern by Divine Debris

crochet ring featuring a pumpkin.

Using a Boye 2.25mm crochet hook and size  10 crochet thread:

Like the last ring pattern that I posted on here, I chained 24 but if you need to do more or less to fit your finger, do so. The size of the ring or stitches is not important.

Ring:

Row 1: Ch 24, slip st into first st to form a ring. *be careful not to turn the chain*

Row 2 – 6: Ch 1, sc into each st around, slip st into first st to secure – 24 scs

Fasten off, weave in ends.

I did the body of the ring in brown, but you can do it whatever color you would like.

Pumpkin ring pattern by Divine Debris

Pumpkin:

Row 1: Magic circle, ch 1, sc 6 times into the circle, slip st into the first st to secure – 6 scs

Row 2: Ch 1, sc twice into each st around, slip st into the first st to secure – 12 scs

Row 3: Ch 1, sc into first st, sc twice into next st, * sc into next st, sc twice into next st,* repeat from * to * the rest of the way around – 18 scs

Row 4: Ch 1, sc into first st, sc into next st, hdc twice into next st, dc into next st, dc into next st, dc twice into next st, hdc into next st, sc into next st, sc into next st, sc into next st, sc into next st, hdc twice into next st, dc into next st, dc into next st, dc twice into next st, hdc into next st, sc into next st, sc into last st – 22 sts

Fasten off. I left a long end and used it to sew the pumpkin to the ring. You can also glue the pumpkin to the ring, if you would like. Crafter’s choice.

Stem: Using the middle two scs on the top, sc into both sts. Turn, ch 1, sc a second row. Fasten off, weave in ends.

Ta da! What do you think? I think I’m going to make another one and add a jack-o-lantern face on it. Or maybe a ghost. An apple! Oh, the options are endless and could be really fun. I can’t wait to experiment.

New project: crochet rings

Crochet rings by Divine Debris

Hello! How is your May going? I hate that it’s been a month since I updated this blog. I’ve had projects that I’ve wanted to share with you all but I’ve just been so stressed and overwhelmed with school, hubs’ military career(deployments and stuff) and then I’m going to go see my family this coming week because my sister is getting married. It’s super exciting, her upcoming marriage but just getting everything organized before I leave has been a nightmare, mostly because my husband may or may not be deploying to parts unknown (to me) in the meantime. Oh, such is the life of military families. On to funner and happier things. Last weekend I was in a bit of a funk in terms of making earrings so… I decided to try my hand at making crochet rings and guess what, it worked! I think the lil’ buggers are super cute and I wanted to share with you all how I did it.

Willow Ring by Divine Debris

Honestly, it’s really very easy if you’ve got the materials and time. You’ll need a steel crochet hook, I used Boye 2.25 mm sized hook, and crochet thread, I used Aunt Lydia’s size 10 thread. Best way to make some rings is to measure how much thread you’ll need by making a chain around your finger, I chained 24 and slip stitched to secure, creating a ring of chains.

Here’s a pattern for the Willow ring (pictured on the right): Ch 24, slip st to form a ring.

Row 1 – 2: (with first color) Ch 1, sc into each sts around (24 scs)

Row 3:(with second color) Ch 1, sc into first st, spike sc into next st, *sc into next st, spike sc into next st* repeat from * to * the rest of the way around the ring (12 scs, 12 spike scs)

Row 4: Ch 1, spike sc into first st, sc into next st, *spike sc into next st, sc into next st* repeat from * to * the rest of the way around the ring (12 scs, 12 spike scs)

Rows 5 – 6: (with third color) repeat rows 3 – 4.

Row 7: (with first color) repeat row 2 (12 scs, 12 spike scs)

Row 8: Ch 1, sc around (24 scs) Again, you will have to adjust this depending upon your finger size, which will affect the amount of sts you make in a row just be sure to make sure the amount of sts you have is even. Do you like this variation of the Willow series? I think it’s a great way to incorporate different colors and give it a bit of fun style (and your ring can match your hat, if you’re into that sort of thing.) 🙂

Overlay earrings by Divine Debris

Next time I update I hope to be able to talk about some new earrings I have been making, trying my hand at overlay crochet. Here’s a preview: What do you think? I’ve had a lot of trial and error trying to get some overlay crochet going. To be honest, it was driving me freakin’ crazy but I do like the way it has ended up. Anyway, I’ll also have another ring pattern for you all when I return. Take care!   You can find this post on Hookin’ on Hump Day 71 hosted by My Merry Messy Life and Moogly.
