Ribbon Flower

I bought 2 balls of ribbon yarn some time ago. I made a rose flower and a flower necklace, looks nice I think.. The instruction said to use 9 mm knitting needles, as for crochet I usually use smaller size, this time I used 6.5 mm crochet hook which I bought from ebay =)

Ribbon yarn is quite unique to crochet, makes a different texture, too bad I have never found local ribbon yarn, although maybe trying with ribbon will be worthed to try for small projects like this.

For the necklace I attached some glass beads and a wooden bead in the middle, glass bead is better but I don't have one big single bead to attach.
The rose flower's pattern can be found on lionbrand website.
For the smaller flower the pattern is:
ch 5, insert slip stitch to make a ring
ch 3, 3 tr, ch 3, slip stich to the ring (--> one petal)
repeat the petal 4 times

Here is the pattern of blue crocheted top i posted the other day. It is an easy pattern, I made some modifications for my top, you too can decide how often you would repeat the 3 dc stich.
Happy crocheting! Do show me your item when you use this pattern :D

Yarn collection - Not for sale ^_^

Yarn I have from Surabaya, Bali and imported yarn too.

blue top

Now this is my first attempt to make a crochet top from cotton yarn, i like the result =)
the yarn is local cotton and I like it as the yarn shines and doesnt look dull.
I found a basic pattern and thought that pattern would look nice as a top, did some trial and error especially at the top part..
Though I'm quite happy with the result, next time maybe it's better to follow a complete pattern and save my time..

Used up two balls with crochet hook no 5 (3 mm) and i use 2 strands of yarn
