Drawstring Cord Instructions:

You can purchase Icord for this but I used a 4.50mm hook and this technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOTGUHn7mGg
Make a cord of 54 inches. Adjust length if need-be.
Lay the bag flat with the seam-side up.
Find the center-most Ch1 space from Round 24. Add a stitch marker if need-be.

36878501_10211028238452907_2143976081353342976_n

Leave the center-most Ch1 space empty. Weave the cord in and out of the Ch1 spaces of Round 24.
Optional: Add 2 Beads or cord locks on the cord to help when bunching.

36853536_10211028240452957_3320390687702122496_n

Add D rings to the bottom of the bag on either side.

36913869_10211028238372905_5478675611515879424_n

36878504_10211028238212901_7329812413081976832_n

Thread the cord through the D-Rings and use the tail to sew the cord around the D-Ring.

Weave Drawstring in and out of the Ch1 spaces of M Round 5.
Put the 2 ends through a bead and tie a knot at the end.

Super Simple Purse Strap

February 26, 2018March 2, 2018 kmtcreations

_DSC0878

FINALLY!!

Our move is complete and we are unpacked. I am so glad to have that behind us. Things are starting to get back into a routine and I am so happy for that.

In the process of moving, I somehow lost my CROJO. Talk about a bummer!

I made a post in my Community Group asking for an instant gratification project to help me out of my funk. The response was AWESOME. There were lots of great ideas. From those ideas, I chose to go with a small clutch/crossbody bag.

You can find the FREE pattern for the Dayla Clutch/Crossbody Bag HERE!!!

I knew that I wanted a simple strap to go with it so I scoured my yarn stash and found myself inspired by some Sashay yarn that I have had FOREVER. Please don’t fret if you don’t have any Sashay yarn hidden away in your stash. This will work great with any super bulky – size 6 yarn.

This strap is very sturdy and can be used for any purse. It could even be used as a replacement strap for a store bought purse.

Here is what you will need:

_DSC0845

Materials (Affiliate links)
Sashay Yarn or any super bulky- size 6 yarn
Size K 6.5mm Crochet Hook
Large/Blunt Needle
D-Rings
Crafting Scissors

Step 1: Attach the yarn to one of the D-Rings with a Double Knot.

_DSC0846

Step 2: Insert your hook through the center of the D-Ring

_DSC0847

Step 3: Grab your yarn and pull up a loop

_DSC0848

Step 4: Make a Chain by yarning over and pulling through. Continue to make a chain until you reach your desired length. You can find suggested lengths below.

_DSC0851

Type	Inches
Wristlet	12
Handle	17
Shoulder Strap	24
Crossbody Strap	45

Step 5: Once desired length is met, insert your hook into the second D-Ring. If you are making a wristlet, attach it to the same D-Ring that your other side is attached to.

_DSC0852

Step 6: Slip Stitch around the D-Ring to attach it.

_DSC0854

Step 7: Finish off by cutting the yarn and pulling it all the way through the loop on your hook.

_DSC0856

Step 8: Thread the “tail” through the large/blunt needle. Weave in and out of the chain 3-4 times. Cut the remaining tail.

…and that’s it!!!

Faux Fur Pom Pom

January 26, 2018January 26, 2018 kmtcreations

Capture

Guys you cannot buy pompoms this luxurious.. maybe on Etsy but my point is homemade is the way to go.. as a crafter, that is my philosophy for most things..
If you’re a crocheter and want the FREE pattern for this hat, you can get it by following this link:
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/la-vie-en-rose-earflap-hatNow, I’ve bought A LOT of faux fur pompoms but I had to stop using them because of the weight alone! They are heavy! When I attach them to my hats, they bob around instead of being a nice secure pompom!

Do not be intimated, this is so easy you won’t believe it! They take 7-10 minutes and they are a fraction of the cost!

Materials:
Craft Fur (I got mine from Hobby Lobby for $2.99)
A large sewing needle
A strong thread
Scissors
Polyfill/fiberfill
Sharpie
A Circle template for tracing. I used an old CD!

Step 1: Lay out your fur with the fur face down

Step 2: Trace around the CD or circle template. I used a Sharpie.

Step 3: Cut it out.

Step 4:
With the needle and thread do a simple stitch around the edge. I’m no seamstress guys!

Step 5: Start to pull the circle closed and add a little polyfill.

Step 6: Pull it tight and tie a triple knot. Attach to hat! It’s that simple guys!

… and that’s it guys! Easy peasy, right?
I hope this tutorial is helpful and I can’t wait to see your furry pompoms!!

Let’s keep in touch! I’d love to see photos of the finished project!

Until next time. Many Thanks,
Kayla

Crochet Alongs

The Tori Triangle Cowl | February 2018 Crochet Along

January 25, 2018January 25, 2018 kmtcreations

_DSC0660wm

What is a Crochet Along?

I get asked this question A LOT. Every designer has their own style and preferences for how to run their Crochet Alongs (CAL). As I am a new designer, my style is still in it’s infancy. I have been playing around with different techniques, trying to find what works best for me.

Now, back to the question. A CAL is basically when a group of crocheters all follow the same pattern at the same time and photograph different steps to send to the designer to be entered for prizes. Most designers will setup a timeline to be followed. Others will only release portions of the pattern at a time. No matter how it is done, CAL’s are a great way to interact with other crocheters of similar interests or to challenge yourself. All while having support from the designer hosting the CAL.

How CAL work with KMT Creations.

Again, my process is evolving as we learn what works best for us. For February, I am featuring a fun cowl design that is extremely textured and warm. My previous CALs have been hosted in a Facebook event in my Community Group. However, this month, I will be creating an album with graphics that will state the progess entry photo I will need. Each graphic will have an end date on it. Your photos will need to be submitted by that date in order to enter the giveaway drawing for that leg of the CAL.

Discount:

The Tori Triangle Cowl will be on sale for 40% off until 2/14/2018. Original price will be $5.00, the discount will make it only $3.00. No code will be needed. It will apply automatically once you put it in your cart.

AVAILABLE NOW!
