Squad Ghouls

Posted on October 29, 2018 by Main Street Mania

During our last trip to Disney World, I lovedall of the Squad Goals shirts we saw. I told Joe that I wanted to make him one. Every different one I saw, he said he would not wear. Toy Story – no, Mickey & Friends – no, Princess – NO. When we got home I started to brainstorm about his real loves. Once again, I went back to his time in New Orleans Square. I’d already made him the Pirates shirt so I turned to The Haunted Mansion. Those “Singing Busts” are a perfect squad!

My son is a closet Disney fanatic. He also says no to every shirt I come up with for him. When I showed him my mock-ups for this graphic. He said that “Squad Goals” was cute but they were ghosts, it should really say “Squad Ghouls”.

Finally I had a shirt he would wear, almost… He didn’t like it on the front. Big graphic on the back, small one on the front. I added Mr. Bowler Hat on the front. Perfect. Now he loves it.

I hope you love it too!!!

Drink Up!

Posted on October 18, 2018 by Main Street Mania

We had an amazing time at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. The Drinking Around The World Merchandise was so inspiring. We need to be wearing this stuff! Joe’s was first.

He loves Pirates of the Caribbean. The Disneyland version is definately his favorite attraction. He spent some of his best times working for Disney in New Orleans Square. Rum is his drink of choice by far. Rum and pirates are a perfect combination.

When it comes to graphic t’s, he likes to have a smaller graphic on the front and the bigger graphic on the back. I’ve been trying to make my designs with that in mind.

Once I decided on the lyrics I wanted to use, I haven’t been able to get song out of my head.

Now that it’s done, maybe we’ll be able to go again.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me!!!

Buzz Lightyear Hat

Posted on October 16, 2018 by Main Street Mania

I just got an order for one of these cuties today and I realized that I hadn’t posted the pattern yet. It was ordered for a head sized 17″ so those are the instructions I’ll post. It’s very easy to size up though. I’m still trying to use a majority of Hobby Lobby yarn even though it’s not as easy to get there in Pittsburgh as it was in So Cal.

Yarn: Less than 1 skein each of Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn in Grape, White, Jelly Bean, Fire Red, Royal, and Yellow.

Size H Hook

Hat –

Round 1 – With Grape, Start 8 hdc in a Magic Circle, join with a sl st to 1st hdc (8)

Round 2 – Ch 2, 2 hdc in each stitch around, join with a sl st to 1st hdc (16)

Round 3 – Ch 2, *2 hdc in 1st stitch, 1 hdc in next stitch* 8 times, join with a sl st to 1st hdc (24)

Round 4 – Ch 2, *2 hdc in 1st stitch, 2 hdc* 8 times, join with a sl st to 1st hdc (32)

Round 5 – Ch 2, *2 hdc in 1st stitch, 3 hdc* 8 times, join with a sl st to 1st hdc (40)

Round 6 – Ch 2, *2 hdc in 1st stitch, 4 hdc* 8 times, join with a sl st to 1st hdc (48)

Round 7-9 – Ch 2, hdc in each stitch around, join with a sl st to 1st hdc (48)

Round 10 – Ch 2, hdc in each stitch around, switch yarn to White, join with a sl st to 1st hdc (48)

Round 11 – Ch 1, sc in each stitch around, switch yarn to Jelly Bean, join with a sl st to 1st sc (48)

Round 12 – Ch 2, hdc in each stitch around, join with a sl st to 1st hdc (48)

Rounds 13-17 – Ch 2, hdc in each stitch around, switch to White, join with a sl st to 1st hdc (48)

Round 18 – Ch 1, sc in each stitch around, join with a sl st to 1st sc. Tie off. (48)

Sew in all tails, making sure to secure the magic ring.

Buzz’s Buttons –

Make 3, one of each Grape, Jelly Bean and Fire Red:

Ch 5, hdc in 3rd ch from hook, 2 hdc. Tie off leaving a long tail for sewing.

In Royal

Ch 6, sc in 2nd ch from hook, 4 sc, turn (5)

Ch 1, sc 2 tog, sc, sc 2 tog, turn (3)

Ch 1, sc 3 tog. Tie off (1)

In White:

Sc in each stitch around the Royal piece making 3 sc in each corner.

Tie off leaving a long tail for sewing.

In Yellow:

Ch 9, hdc in 3rd ch, 7 hdc.

Tie off leaving a long tail for sewing.

In Fire Red:

Ch 3, 10 hdc in 1st ch, join with a sl st to 1st hdc.

Tie off leaving a long tail for sewing.

Assembly –

I pin everything onto the hat before I start sewing. Whenever I don’t do it, it all comes out uneven. Remember that you are manipulating the shapes when you sew. The buttons on the left have a more rounded top. The yellow button is a sharper rectangle.

You can also manipulate the size by changing up your hook size. These 2 were done with the same number of stitches. The larger was with an H hook and the smaller was with a G hook.

To Infinity and Beyond!

Minnie Mouse Scarf

Posted on October 18, 2016October 18, 2016 by Main Street Mania

So you can’t have a Mickey Mouse scarf without a Minnie Mouse. The elements that shout Minnie to me are polka dots, frilly skirts, bows and a tail. Have fun crocheting!

Need:

H Hook

12″ Polka Dot Ribbon

Less than 1 skein each of Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn in:

Red

White

Black

Body:

With red, Ch 18

Row 1: In 3rd ch from hook, dc in each ch across. (16 dc)

Row 2-100: Ch 2, dc across. (16 dc)

Row 101 (a): Ch 1, in front loops only, 3 sc in each dc across. (48 sc)

Row 102 (a): Ch 1, 3 sc across. Finish off. (144 sc)

Row 101 (b): Attach white yarn. Ch 1, in back loops only, 3 sc in each dc across. (48 sc)

Row 102 (b): Ch 1, 3 sc across. Finish off. (144 sc)

With black, ch 15. Sc into the middle of the scarf on the white side. Continuing along the black ch, sl st into each ch. Finish off. Separate the fibers at the end of the yarn.

Icon:

Head: With black, make a magic circle. Ch 2, 10 dc in magic circle. Join with a sl st to 1st dc. Ch 2, 2 dc in each dc around. Join with a sl st to 1st dc. Finish off leaving a long tail.

Ears (make 2): With black, make a magic circle. Ch 2, 10 dc in magic circle. Join with a sl st to 1st dc. Finish off leaving a long tail. Sew ears to head with your long tails. Make sure to tie in your beginning tails tightly so they don’t unravel in the wash.

Sew the entire head and ears onto the opposite end of your scarf from your skirt end. Make sure you’re sewing on the red side. The white should just be a peek-a-boo from underneath. Tie ribbon on.

Polka Dots: make a magic circle. Ch 2, 10 dc in magic circle. Join with a sl st to 1st dc. Finish off leaving a long tail. Using the long tail, sew onto the body of the scarf randomly. Again, make sure you’re sewing on the red side.

Congratulations!

Seahawks!

Posted on June 26, 2016June 26, 2016 by Main Street Mania

I’ve been thinking about some scarves for football season lately. A mom friend, my daughter’s friend’s mom, asked me for something Seahawks to wear for work. I couldn’t wait. I’ve also been wanting to do a chevron scarf. I haven’t been happy with any of the patterns I’ve found. They all had problems, too wide, not pointy enough, etc… I think I finally got the pattern to where I wanted it. I used a stripe generator for the great Seahawk colors and to make it fun. I used the Hobby Lobby Yarn Bee Soft Secret so it was a little lighter for her to wear as an accessory rather than to keep warm.

You’ll need:

Size H Hook

Less than 1 skein each of Hobby Lobby Yarn Bee Soft Secret in Navy, Lime, White and Sky Blue

Ch 25

Row 1: Hdc in 2nd ch from hook. Sk next ch. Hdc in next 4 ch. 3 hdc in next ch. Hdc in next 4 ch. Sk next 2 ch. Hdc in next 4 ch. 3 hdc in next ch. Hdc in next 4 ch. Sk next ch. Hdc in last ch. Turn

Row 2-150: Ch 1. Hdc in same stitch. Sk next hdc. Hdc in next 4 hdc. 3 hdc in next hdc. Hdc in next 4 hdc. Sk next 2 hdc. Hdc in next 4 hdc. 3 hdc in next hdc. Hdc in next 4 hdc. Sk next hdc. Hdc in last hdc. Turn

To change colors, pull up new color on the last part of your last hdc. Continue with your new color. Weave in your ends as you go.

To turn it into an infinity scarf, sl st ends together.

Nightmare Before Christmas

Posted on April 12, 2016 by Main Street Mania

One of my first scarves, and still one of my most popular was this Jack Skellington, Nightmare Before Christmas scarf. It’s lots of fun and easy to do. Jack is a unique character and always looks different. This is what makes his face easy to replicate. Of course this scarf is only inspired by the real Jack Skellington!

Needed:

Less than one skein each of black and white Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn

H Hook

Body:

Row 1: In black, ch 18. Hdc in 3rd ch from hook. Hdc in each ch across. (16 hdc)

Rows 2-3: Ch 2, hdc across (16 hdc)

Row 4: Change to white, ch 2, hdc across (16 hdc)

Rows 5-15: Ch 2, hdc across (16 hdc)

Row 16: Change to black, ch 2, hdc across (16 hdc)

Rows 17-18: Ch 2, hdc across (16 hdc)

Row 19: Change to white, ch 2, hdc across (16 hdc)

Row 20-21: Ch 2, hdc across (16 hdc)

Continue in this manner, in stripes of black and white, 3 rows of each color for a total of 39 stripes. You should end on another black stripe.

Row 133: Change to white, ch 2, hdc across (16 hdc)

Row 134-144: Ch 2, hdc across (16 hdc)

Row 145: Change to black, ch 2, hdc across (16 hdc)

Row 146: Ch 2, hdc across (16 hdc)

Row 147: Ch 2, hdc across, finish off. (16 hdc)

Faces:

Make 4 eyes: With black, in a magic circle, ch 2, 13 dc. Close with a sl st in top of 1st dc.

Leave a long tail for sewing on eye and making nose and mouth. Cinch your magic circle and tie a not in that tail to a dc.

Sew 1st eye to the white block on the end.

Use the tail of the first eye to make the nostrils.

Nostrils should not be parallel but they should be a little farther apart on the top than the bottom.

Use the extra long tail of the second eye to make his crooked smile. His smile is crossed as well. I make the entire smile and then go back to cross it.

Make sure you knot your tail to part of the back before you hide your ends otherwise one good pull and Jack’s smile is gone!

Repeat this process for the other end of the scarf. Be sure they are both on the side.

Fringe:

I make 3 groups of fringe on each end, 6 groups total. For each group, cut 3 lengths each of black and white yarn to 12″, 6 strands total for each group. Loop each group in half and attach to both ends of the scarf.

Have fun with him. He’s a great character.

Snow White

Posted on March 8, 2016 by Main Street Mania

Snow White is another super simple pattern. It’s again done in a basic hdc. It goes fast but winds up being just adorable. You’ll feel like a princess.

On the blue end, using red yarn, pull up a loop in the center. Make 7 chains of red through the blue. Make another stripe on each side of that one, approximately 4 hdc’s away.

Weave in loose ends.

Fringe:

For each bunch of fringe, cut 10, 12″ lengths of black yarn.

Nemo Scarf

Posted on September 6, 2015 by Main Street Mania

I thought for a long time on how to represent Nemo. I wanted a scarf to represent him specifically. I didn’t just want a clown fish. What makes Nemo special? His lucky fin. What makes this scarf special? Lucky fringe. It’s the little detail that will make Nemo lovers fall in love with this scarf.

Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn comes through for me again but use whatever brand you’re comfortable with. Remember to work in your ends as you go or you’ll have a lot of work at the end.

You will need:

This is the scarf that started my obsession. Its the one I get the most comments on when I wear it. I love Mickey Mouse and I’m so inspired by his simplicity. It only needs subtle elements to suggest Mickey. I used Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn but any brand in the same colors will work just fine.

Cheshire Cat Scarf

Posted on August 11, 2015August 11, 2015 by Main Street Mania

This is by far my most popular scarf. I don’t know if it’s the great colors or the popularity of the character. The Cheshire Cat lends himself to simple but very recognizable motifs. I like it because I don’t have a lot of counting to do. Make sure you work in your loose ends as you go. It will save you lots of time and headaches in the end.

You will need an H crochet hook and less than one skein each of Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn in:

Hot Rose
