Free Crochet Pattern-- Fauxy Cocoon

Thursday, February 14, 2019



The Fauxy Cocoon is by far my most worn crocheted item that I personally designed. The shrug is made with Lion Brand's Go For Faux and Coboo. Not only are these two yarns soft, it really brings the heat. If you are someone who easily gets cold, please don't hesitate with this one. You will want to hibernate in it all winter long.


When Lion Brand released the Go For Faux yarn, I couldn't resist ordering a dozen skeins of it and I am so glad that I did. I couldn't stop petting the skeins when my box arrived and then it dawned on me that I had no idea what to do them. Then I wondered how this yarn would feel like if I had it wrapped around my body. I'm so happy that I ended up designing this cocoon because it saved me from a very cold winter last year.

Notes

Please check your gauge. I recommend doing a swatch before beginning. Adjust your tension or hook size to achieve the gauge.

If you are finding your rectangle turning out smaller than anticipated, simply crochet more rows.
Beginning chain counts as a stitch unless otherwise noted. 
Sizing available in S/M and L/XL. The pattern is written as follows: S/M (L/XL).

Pattern

Chain 59 (63)
Row 1: dc into the 5th ch from the hook (counts as a dc and a st), *ch 1 and skip a st, dc in the next st* repeat to the end, ch 3, turn your work (57 (28 ch sps and 29 dc), 61 (30 ch sps and 31 dc))

Lay your finished piece on the floor with the foundation chain on the left and the last row on the right. 


 Fold your piece in half by pulling the top down to the bottom.

With your tapestry needle and some Coboo yarn, sew up the sides stopping at the double crochets after the 7th chain space. (Make sure that all double crochets and chain spaces are aligned to their respective counterparts.) 

I used the mattress stitch to seam up the sides of the body. 

You should have 14 (16) chain spaces that are not seamed. We will continue working into these chain spaces to create a sleeve.

We will work in one direction for the remainder of the sleeve.
With your 10.0mm hook, attach the faux fur yarn to the last double crochet where you seamed.

Row 5: repeat row 3 (11 ch sps)
Fasten off and weave in your ends. 

Cuffs

With your 5.5mm hook, hold two strands of your Coboo yarn together and attach it into a chain space at the bottom of the armhole opening (where it will be least visible when worn).
Row 1:ch 3 (counts as a dc), 3 dc in the same ch sp where you attached your yarn,  *4 dc in the next ch sp* repeat to the end, sl st into the top of the ch 3 from the beginning of the row (36, 44)

Free Crochet Pattern-- This Little Piggy Keychain

Friday, February 1, 2019


I truly give my respect to those crocheters who design Amigurumi. I feel like it takes a lot of patience to work with only single crochet and the tapestry needle. Does anyone else dread sewing and weaving in ends into small Amigurumi parts? For this reason, the only Amigurumi patterns I will design will be little keychains. Whenever you have scraps of yarn, come on over to Modesty and see if you can use any of those scraps to make a small cute keychain. I'll do my best to keep adding small keychain patterns on this blog. 
To tell you the truth, I wasn't planning on designing anymore Amigurumi patterns, at least not so soon. However, my children's Sunday School teacher ordered ten keychains.
You see, I had made a bunch of Amigurumi keychains for several craft fairs last fall. However, I wasn't making enough money to make it worth while. So with the leftover keychains that I had, I gifted them all to the children and Sunday School teachers for Christmas. So, a week and a half ago my kids' Sunday School teacher ordered ten keychains and I happily said yes. After posting a picture of some of them on Instagram, I decided to write up a few of the Amigurumi keychain patterns I had crocheted for her. So today I will be sharing with you This Little Piggy Keychain. 
I think the timing of releasing this keychain is perfect. Lunar New Year is next Tuesday and this year is the year of the pig. Plus, who doesn't like a cute pig?

Materials

-any worsted weight yarn (pink and brown, Loops and Threads Impeccable yarn was used in the picture)
-one pair of 9mm or 10 mm safety eyes
-stitch marker
-polyfil stuffing
-a keychain of your choice
-3.5 mm or 4.0mm hook
-tapestry Needle

Abbreviations

sc- single crochet
inc- single crochet increase (2 single crochets in 1 stitch)
invdec- invisible decrease If you are unfamiliar with this stitch
slst- slip stitch
* - repeat stitches from first asterisk to second asterisk
MR- magic ring  If you are unfamiliar with the magic ring or magic circle
( )- the number of stitches at the end of the round

Notes

Make stitches tight as to not let the stuffing come through the stitches.

Pattern

For an inexpensive ad-free PDF version of this pattern, visit Etsy or Ravelry.
To pin this pattern for later, visit Pinterest.


Ears (Make 2)

Round 1: Create a MR and crochet 5 sc into the ring, pull on the tail to close the MR
Round 2: sc around (5)
Round 3: 2sc in the first st, sc in the next 2 sts (this round will not be finished)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Snout

Round 1: Create a MR and crochet 5hdc into the ring, sl st into the first hdc, pull on the tail to close the MR
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Head

Create a MR

Round 1: crochet 6 sc into the ring, pull on the tail to close the MR

Round 2: *2sc in the next st* 6 times (12)

Round 3: *sc in the next st, 2sc in the next* (18)

Round 4: *sc in the next 2 sts, 2sc in the next st* (24)

Round 5: sc around

Round 6-7: Repeat row 5

Round 8: *sc in the next 2 sts, invdec*repeat 6 times (18)

Round 9: sc across




Sew in your ears. This is the time to attach your keychain.

Round 10: *sc in the next st, invdec* repeat 6 times (12)



Sew on your pig’s nose. Get some brown yarn and make nostrils on your piggy’s little snout. Place your safety eyes between rows 7 and 8 about 3 sts apart. Stuff your pig with poly-fil.

Row 11: invdec to the end (6)




Fasten off and fill up on poly-fil and close up the bottom. I find that using the end of a pencil with an eraser does a good job getting the poly-fil inside the head. Weave in your loose end.

Hope you enjoyed this pattern. As always, leave your thoughts and comments down below. I would love to hear from you!

Free Crochet Pattern-- Polar Bow Tie Scarf

Thursday, January 17, 2019

I just can't get enough of this Lion Brand Go For Faux yarn. Besides the softness of this yarn, you wouldn't believe the warmth it brings. In fact, I wore this scarf around my house all week (my family says I'm cold-blooded cause I'm always complaining about being cold).
The Go For Faux yarn can be tricky though if you are not careful. A stitch can be easily skipped so really make sure you use of your fingers and feel for your following stitches.
When this yarn first appeared on the Lion Brand website, I was absolutely thrilled. I bought a couple skeins and after the yarn arrived, I went right back to the website to buy some more.

The design for this scarf is made for beginners. Double crochet is worked throughout the whole pattern with the exception of chaining a "keyhole" on one end of the scarf. This "keyhole" is where you slip in the other end of your scarf to secure your scarf in place. It's a very simple and practical design. A child size pattern is included for your little ones and truly, it is simple enough for them to put it on on their own.

If you don't like any of these colors that's okay too. Because, guess what? Lion Brand carries more of these wonderful faux fur yarn in different colors. Just pick your favorite and let's get crocheting.

Materials

-2 skeins of Lion Brand Yarn Go For Faux Baked Alaska (or 1 skein in Pink Poodle for child size)
-9mm hook
-tapestry needle
-2 stitch holderslint roller 

Abbreviations

ch- chain
dc- double crochet

Gauge

Every 7 sts and 4 rows is 4”.

Measurements

Adult size: 40” long and 6” wide

Child size: 26” long and 4.25” wide

Notes

The chain 2 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.

I highly recommend using a stitch holder to mark the first dc in each row because the stitches can get hard to see.

Due to the nature of this yarn, the stitches are difficult to see. Use your fingers to feel for the next stitch.

The two-tone Polar Bow Tie Scarf that is visible at the top was made with both Baked Alaska and Pink Poodle. If you plan to make the two-tone colored scarf, switch your color at the beginning of row 4 for the adult size and row 3 for the child size.

Pattern

For an inexpensive ad-free PDF version, visit Etsy or Ravelry.
To pin this pattern for later, visit Pinterest.


Adult size

Chain 66

Row 1: dc into the 3rd chain from the hook (place a stitch holder here so you can easily find your first st), dc across, turn your work (64)

Row 2-3: ch2 , dc across, turn your work

Row 4: ch2, dc into the next 15 sts, ch 3 loosely and skip the next 3 sts, dc across to the end, turn your work

Row 5-7: ch 2, dc across, turn your work

Fasten off and weave in all your loose ends.

Child size

Chain 56

Row 1: dc in the 3rdchain from the hook (place a stitch holder here so you can easily find your first st) dc across, turn your work (54)

Row 2: ch 2, dc across, turn your work

Row 3: ch 2, dc in the next 11 sts, ch 3 and skip the next 3 sts, dc across to the end, turn your work

Row 4-5: ch 2, dc across, turn your work

Fasten off and weave in all your loose ends. Once finished, take your lint roller and give it a good roll.


I hope you enjoyed this cozy scarf pattern. Comment below and let me know what you think.

Honey Cocoon Crochet Pattern

Friday, January 11, 2019




Are you excited for this Honey Cocoon pattern as much as I am excited to share it with all of you?



I absolutely love anything that adds layers to my outfit. I hope that you do too because there will be a lot of patterns from Modesty by Laura in the future that will help add dimension to your everyday look.

This cocoon pattern is literally made from a simple rectangle. So if you're new to crocheting, this is just for you. The rectangle you crochet will be seamed up the sides to create armholes and then a border will be crocheted along the edges to give the piece a clean look.



The yarn used for this project was Lion Brand's Heartland and I have to tell you, it is now my favorite yarn. I worked with quite a few yarns but I have to say that I am in love with this one. If you haven't worked with Heartland before, go out and buy some. It will not disappoint you. It's soft and has a nice weight. The drape is beautiful on this cocoon.

The stitch used for the majority of this pattern is the lemon peel stitch. It is a series of single and double crochets alternating. Super easy and very beginner friendly.

For a nice finish, the reverse single crochet is used. It is a very unique stitch and I love the way it looks. You can trust me when I say that I'll probably use it a lot in my designs.

Measurements
The body of the cocoon measures roughly around 40“ x 35” for S/M and  43”x 38” for the L/XL.
The pattern is written for S/M and L/XL written in the ( ).

Materials

5 (6) skeins of Lion Brand Heartland in Bryce Canyon (mustard) or in Kings Canyon (green)
6.5mm hook
Tapestry Needle



Pattern

For an inexpensive ad-free hardcopy of this pattern, visit Etsy or Ravelry.
To save this pattern on Pinterest for later, visit Pinterest.







Tag me on Facebook or Instagram with your completed Honey Cocoons! Would love to see your finished work!

Happy crocheting!


XO,

Laura

Free Crochet Pattern-- X-O Afghan

Wednesday, December 19, 2018




If you are looking for the perfect afghan to crochet, you have to make my X-O Afghan. The yarn used for this project is purely soft and makes for a cozy blanket.

One Saturday, my husband gave me a chance to break away from the kids and go shopping for yarn. I mean seriously, I think I have a yarn obsession. Anyways, I went into Michael's and browsed the yarn selection and came across some Caron Latte Cakes. I'm not, for one, into the cakes but I just had to touch this yarn. The yarn screamed lush and believe me when I say it is super cozy. My kids couldn't keep away from playing under this afghan when it was in progress.

Anyways, the one color that I liked from the bunch was called Blackberry. Unfortunately, there was only one skein of it. So I debated for a while, picking it up and putting it down, picking it up and putting it down. I couldn't decide what to do because there was only one skein. So eventually I bought it cause the feel of the yarn was just undeniable. I told myself that I would buy more online when Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales were happening. Just my luck, they were all sold out on Micheals.com! Ugh! So I ended up getting six skeins of a different color and I'm glad that I did because it came out beautifully in this afghan. If you don't plan to make this pattern, at least get some skeins of Caron Latte Cakes. It won't disappoint.

The pattern is made up of little bean, cross and double crochet stitches. 

The little bean stitches represent your Os and the cross stitches are your Xs.

Hope you enjoy this pattern.

Materials

5 skeins of Caron Latte Cakes in color Kissy Kissy
6.5mm hook 
Scissors
Tapestry Needle

Abbreviations


FDC- foundationless double crochet 
You can visit HERE if you would like to see a picture tutorial.
Lbs- little bean stitch
Yo, insert hook in the next st, yo and pull up a loop; yo and pull through one loop on your hook, yo insert hook in same ch, yo and pull up a loop, (5 loops on your hook) yo and pull through through all loops 
dc-double crochet
st-stitch
yo- yarn over
- Repeat stitches from first asterisk to second asterisk 
ch- chain

Gauge

Gauge is really not that important. 

Notes

Beginning chain does not count as a stitch throughout.

You can make your afghan as long or as wide as you want. 

When you start your FDC, crochet in multiples of 4.

The blanket in this pattern is roughly 60in wide x 55in long.

Pattern

The K-Pop Mask

Saturday, December 15, 2018




I had no idea how worldwide K-pop (Korean pop) and K-drama were nowadays. I really didn’t see it coming. Growing up, watching k-drama was only possible by renting them out on VHS from a local Korean store. Now, it’s on Netflix, Amazon, Viki, and so on and so on. Who would have thought? I certainly didn’t.

This past summer I went to my first k-pop concert with my aunt and mom. I really wanted to see Eric Nam, also a Korean-American, who made it in the music industry in Korea. I was expecting Korean people to show up at this concert only to find myself being the minority of the bunch. It was amazing. I felt proud to be a Korean and grateful that other ethnicities were there to support a Korean singer.


A month later I made a visit to the bank to open up a new account. As usual, I made small talk with the manager responsible of opening accounts. She asked me what my ethnicity was and when I told her I was Korean she literally jumped out of her seat repeatedly saying that she wanted to live in Korea. Then she proceeded to tell me that both of her little girls were into K-pop and K-drama and going on and on about Korean “stuff”.


If you follow these K-pop and K-drama celebrities, you must know about these black masks they wear all the time, right? To be honest, wearing a mask in Korea is not really out of the norm. When I lived in Korea for three and a half years, there were plenty of occasions where I wore them. I wore them mostly when I was sick and didn’t want to spread my germs, but also when I had to walk out and didn’t want to show my bare face. And you know what? That’s exactly why k-pop stars wear them. Oh, and of course trying not to get spotted out in public. But really, how can you not get spotted? You’re a celebrity.


Anyways, I thought that this would be a great quick project to do especially with the flu season in and the winter months upon us.


If you happen to read this in the spring to fall months, this would also make a great mask to avoid breathing in pollen during the allergy season.


UPDATE: THIS WILL NOT PROTECT YOU FROM THE CORONA VIRUS!

Pattern

To get a copy of the K-Pop Mask you can visit my Etsy or Ravelry stores.
To pin this for later, visit Pinterest.

Measurements of the Mask

4.5" in height and 9" wide

Materials

-1 Skein of Lion Brands Vanna’s Choice in Black and in Linen
-4.5mm hook
-scissors
-tapestry needle




Optional Bear Motif

Free Crochet Pattern -- Pikachu Keychain

Wednesday, December 12, 2018





I remember watching Pokemon as a kid and honestly, I still cannot believe that this cartoon is still airing on TV. I have no clue what the current Pokemon show looks like today but I am aware that kids are still watching it. So in honor of Pokemon and its many years of airing I have created a Pikachu keychain pattern.

I looked high and low for a free pikachu pattern online but all the amigurumi patterns for Pikachu were quite time consuming. So I decided to create a keychain pattern for this cute little Pokemon.

Materials

Any worsted weight yarn (yellow, black, and red, Loops and Threads Impeccable yarn was used in the picture)
One pair of 9mm or 10 mm safety eyes
Stitch marker
Polyfil Stuffing
A keychain of your choice
3.5 mm or 4.0mm hook
tapestry needle


Abbreviations


sc- single crochet
inc- single crochet increase (2 single crochets in 1 stitch)
invdec- invisible decrease (crochet two stitches together by using front loops only)
slst- slip stitch
* Repeat stitches from first asterisk to second asterisk
mc- magic circle
( )- the number of stitches at the end of the round
Make stitches tight as to not let the stuffing come through the stitches. 

Pattern

To save this pattern for later, pin it in Pinterest.


Ears 

Make two
Round 1: Starting with black yarn create a magic circle and make 4 sc into the circle. (use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning stitch of each round)
Round 2: *2sc in next stitch, 1sc in next stitch*(6)
At this time, pull the end of the yarn to close the magic ring. I like to make a knot to make sure the ring doesn’t open again.
Round 3-6: Change yarn color to yellow, sc around
Stuff the ear with polyfil stuffing
Round 7:  Invdec, sc to the end of the round (5)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing

Red Cheeks

With red yarn
MR and put 6 sc into circle , slst into first sc and leave a long tail. Close the circle.

Head

Round 1: Using a mc and make 6 sc
Round 2: 2sc into each stitch (12)
Round 3: *1sc, 2sc* repeat  (18)
Round 4: *1sc in the next 2 stitches, 2sc in the next*(24)
Round 5: sc all around to the second to last sc, 2sc in last stitch (25)
Round 6-7: sc around
Round 8: sc around until you have 2 sc left and do an invdec (24)
Round 9: *sc in next two stitches, invdec* (18)
Round 10: sc around


Using black yarn make a nose between rows 9 and 10.  Sew in both ears.  Place safety eyes between rows 8 and 9 about 4-5 stitches apart. Attach the red cheeks on either end of the face.
I like to attach my keychain at this time.
Round 11: *1 sc, invdec* (12)
Stuff the head with poly-fil.

Round 12: invdec to the end (6)
Fasten off and leave a tail to close the head and weave in the end.
Firmly stuff the head and close the opening by weaving in and out of the stitches. Weave in the remaining.
I hope you enjoy your Pikachu keychain! 








Happy crocheting!

Free Crochet Pattern-- Belle Poncho

Saturday, January 20, 2018

The Belle Poncho is a poncho inspired by Disney's character Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She holds a special place in my heart mainly because Belle was a character that I could relate to in my youth.

I was and still am a lover of books. You could almost always find me in a library or a bookstore growing up. In college, I practically lived at the library because there was a part of the building that remained open 24 hours a day. Though I don't do as much reading as I would like, I still continue to collect them and love the smell of old books.

When I think of this book-loving character, I also remember the scene of Belle in the snow with the Beast in her red poncho. Perfect color for Christmas and Valentine. I hope you enjoy this classic design.

Materials

-Any worsted weight yarn (5 skeins Loops and Threads Impeccable yarn in Claret is what I used.)
-1 skein of Lion Brand Go For Faux in Baked Alaska
-8.0mm hook for the body
-7.0mm hook for the collar
-Tapestry Needle
*Optional 2- 30mm buttons

Gauge

every 9 sts and 6 rows = 4”

Abbreviations

ch– chain
st– stitch
yo– yarn over
dc– double crochet
dc2tog– double crochet 2 together
sp– space
sps– spaces
slst– slip stitch
*–  repeat stitches from first asterisk to second asterisk
( ) –  the # of stitches at the end of the round

*Notes

The chain 1 in the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch throughout.

Please be advised that you must crochet loose in order to achieve the flowy nature of this poncho. If you are unable to achieve the gauge I suggest using a bigger hook size.
