Friday Freebie crochet pattern for your sneaker makeover – Violet

We have come to the last of our crochet flowers (well for now).  But what better way to end than with Violet.  Named after my wonderful Nan, my woolly inspiration, my how to be the nicest person you can be role model and bestest person ever!

 

To make Violet, you will need:

3mm crochet hook, 4ply cotton yarn and two 2.5cm buttons, sewing needle and thread.

Finished measurement – 8cm diameter

Start hookin’ here….

Using 3mm hook and 4ply yarn, Ch12, join into a ring with a sl st into first ch

Round 1: Ch3, 23tr into ring, close with a sl st into top of beg ch3.

Round 2: Ch5, (counts as 1tr, 2ch) 1tr into next tr, ch1, (skip next 2tr, 1tr, ch2, 1tr, ch1 into next tr) seven times in total, close with a sl st into third ch of beg ch5.

Round 3: Ch3, 1tr, ch2, 2tr into the ch-2 space below, 1dc into ch-1 space below. (2tr, ch2, 2tr, ch1 into next ch-2 space below, 1dc into 1ch space below) repeat seven times in total, close with a sl st into third chain of beg ch3.

Fasten off, darn in ends and block if desired.  Simply pop over the button to secure onto the shoe.
