Earpiece (Make 2)
With your 10.0mm hook and Go For Faux yarn, make a magic circle and chain 3. Make 11 triple crochets into the circle. Slip stitch into the 2nd ch of the beginning chain 3. Fasten off. Close the circle by pulling the beginning yarn and weave in the ends.

Row 1: ch1, sc across
Row 2: ch2 (counts as a st), *skip a st and dc in the next st, dc into the skipped st; repeat from * one more time, dc in the last st (6)
Repeat rows 1 and 2 to desired length to reach the opposite inner earpiece. (Take into consideration that when worn, the headpiece will stretch slightly when the earmuff is tied under the chin.) Slip stitch the strap to the opposite earmuff. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Bottom Straps
Take an earpiece and slip stitch 6 times with worsted weight yarn directly opposite from the headpiece.
Row 1: ch1, sc across
Row 2: ch2 (counts as a st), *skip a st and dc in the next st, dc into the skipped st; repeat from * one more time, dc in the last st (6)
Repeat rows 1 and 2 to desired length.
Repeat this on the opposite side. Crochet straps long enough to tie a ribbon under the chin.
*MOTIF (Make 2)
With your 6.0mm hook and worsted weight yarn, make a magic circle and chain 3 (counts as a double crochet and a chain 1).
Round 1: *dc, ch1; repeat for a total of 10 times, slst into the 2nd ch of the beginning ch3 (11dc, 11 chsps)
Round 2: slst into the first chsp, ch5 (counts as a dc and ch2), *dc in the next chsp, ch2; repeat from * to

Fasten off and cut off a 40 inch tail for sewing.
Take the motifs and sew them onto the earpieces following the outline of the motif. Don’t be afraid of the opposite side. The faux yarn can be fluffed to cover the worsted weight yarn.

Middleton Market Bag Crochet Pattern

Middleton Purse
Middleton Tote
Design Story
The Middleton Market Bag was designed last year along with two other crochet bags. The Middleton Bag Collection came about because I was at a loss for inspiration for summer wear. So, I visited the world of accessories. The Middleton Market Bag went through not 1, not 2, but 4 revisions. It was a learning experience and I enjoyed designing the perfect market mesh bag.
The Pattern
This crochet pattern is quick and beginner-friendly. It is constructed from the bottom-up starting with a magic circle and slowly making its way up with multiple chains.
Materials
Abbreviations
MR- magic ring
ch-chain
chsp-chain space
dc-double crochet
hdc-half double crochet
sc- single crochet
sc2tog-single crochet 2 together
slst-slip stitch
st-stitch
Gauge
10 sts and 8.5 rows is 4”.
Notes
The bag is worked in rounds. It is highly recommended that you use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round.
The chain 2 in the beginning counts of each round counts as a stitch.
