byClaire Winter CAL Colour Combinations

So the secret is out!

On the 8th of November the byClaire Winter Crochet Along will start with the scarf designed by Karlien (@karlienpleizier).
And you need to be quick (just joking of course, the patterns stay available!), because a week later my design for the hat will be released.
The 3rd week the pattern for the gloves by Jorina @crochetrainbowtales will be online too.

All 3 designs are different, but if you make them in complimentary colours, they become a match made in heaven! ;-)

If there is one thing I love, it is thinking of colour combinations!
 If that isn't something you are really good at, or if you just need some inspiration, in this post you'll find an extensive amount of possibilities .
And I haven't even used all the colours of Softmix and Sparkle!
These are all combinations of 5 colours, but obviously you can add more, or less, just as you please. The possibilities are endless, let your imagination go wild... 

In my previous post I mentioned the colours that I used for the CAL, so I'll start off with neutrals, then add some colour, and if you know me a little bit, I can't do without combinations you might find are odd. 
But who knows, it might work for you as it does for me.

Oh, I almost forget: all of the combinations I came up with so far contain byClaire Sparkle, because hey, a girl needs glitter right? :-)

Have fun, x Maartje


P.s. 1: If you happen to pass by on the Kreadoe 2019 in Utrecht (starts tomorrow, until Sunday), you can purchase the yarn for the different sets so you can start immediately on the 8th of November when the CAL starts, or you can buy 1 of the three colour sets or a basic colour set online. The set includes a free leather label.

P.s. 2: The patterns are written in Dutch, but I'll try to translate mine into English asap!

Crocheted Tartan Plant Pot Cover - Gehaakte Geruite Plantenpothoes

A couple of years ago I made this tutorial for byClaire & Friends.  It seemed the link didn't work anymore, and I wanted to translate it into English anyway, so here is the revised version. I hope you like it! If you would like the Dutch version, you can find it here: https://byclaire.eu/byclaire-friends-2 . This tutorial is for a pot with a diameter of 23 cm and hight 21 cm, but you can adjust it to a different size. If you want to make a swatch: crochet 1 square with 2 stripes on one side and at the top. Now you can measure how many you need for your pot, and maybe use a different size hook if you want smaller or bigger squares, or when you're using a different size yarn. For some more tips, please scroll down to the remarks underneath the pattern. What do you need: I used hook size 6 (and size 3 for hiding the ends), 2 balls of byClaire Softmix for the main colour, 1 ball of Softmix as the secondary colour and 1 ball of byClaire Sparkle. Used stitches: ch = chain slst =

Hoe mijn gehaakte deken 2 dekens werd... - How my crocheted blanket ended up as 2 blankets...

Ik was heerlijk gedachtenloos aan het haken aan mijn #netflixdeken (haken terwijl je netflixt en als 'ie af is een deken om onder weg te kruipen als je aan het kijken bent).  Alleen maar stokjes, dus echt opletten hoeft niet als je een beetje geoefend bent. Such a great idea don't you think, a #netflixblanket (crocheting while netflixing, and when it's finished you can crawl under it while watching)!  Mindless crocheting, because it's only double crochets (U.S.), so no need to pay a lot of attention if you are a bit experienced. Af en toe even spelen... Some play time... Het was zo verslavend dat ik niet alleen voor de tv haakte, maar ook in de tuin. En in de trein, zelfs toen de deken wat groter werd. Als je wilt weten wat voor superhandige truc ik daarvoor bedacht had (vind ik zelf natuurlijk haha): Hoe haak je onderweg verder aan een grote streepjesdeken? It was so addictive that I didn't just crochet in front of the tv, but also in t

Noppensteek zonder doorschijn - Bobble Stitch with no visible contrasting colours

 Hoi allemaal, ik heb denk ik weer een leuke tutorial voor jullie. Als je de noppensteek haakt, neem je voor het gemak de draad mee in de tussenliggende steken. Het is wat meer werk om het op mijn manier te doen, maar het voordeel is dat je geen doorschijnende kleuren ziet op een lichte ondergrond (zie de foto hieronder), maar vooral dat je allerlei verschillende kleuren noppen kunt maken! Hi everyone, I think I've got another nice tutorial for you. When you crochet the bobble stitch, normally you would take along the contrasting colour while crocheting. The way I do it is a bit more work, but the advantage is that you don't see any colours shining through on a light underground (like the picture below), but especially that you can make all dots in a different colour!  Dus hoe doe ik dat? Ik hecht de nieuwe kleur aan met minimaal 5 cm draadeind, haak de noppensteek (welke dan ook, met stokjes, dubbele stokjes etc., of wat ik voor mijn Polkadot
