Goddess Inspired

Well here it is my very first blog. I was inspired by a group of lovely ladies over at Ravelry.com - Monthly Adventures Group.

I have been inspired to enter the conversation, make friends, and enjoy life again. I was even inspired to write my very first crochet pattern (Goddess Inspired) which I am going to share with everyone.

Goddess Inspired

Hook = F
yarn = worsted, (I used Red Heart)
size = 6 inches tall from top of arms to bottom point

sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
5 dc bobble = 5 dc in one sc, remove hook from last dc leaving a loop, insert hook into first dc then insert hook into loop, pull loop through first dc, making sure that the bobble is on the outside (this forms the breast), then continue to sc,

• Body and head = follow steps below - crocheted in the round

• Magic Circle

• 6 sc in magic circle, slip stitch to begining sc chain 1 now and throughout pattern= 6sc

• 2 sc in each sc around = 12 sc

• 1 sc in each sc around = 12 sc

• *1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat from * to * around = 18 sc

• 1 sc in each sc around = 18 sc

• *1 sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, reapeat from * to * around = 24 sc

• 1 sc in each sc around = 24 sc

• *1 sc in each of next 2 sc, decrease - sc next 2 sc together*, repeat from * to * around = 18 sc

• 1 sc in each sc around = 18 sc

• *decrease - sc next 2 sc together*, repeat from * to * around = 9 sc decreases

• stuff with stuffing material

• 1 sc in each sc around = 9 sc

• 2 sc in each sc around = 18 sc

• 1 sc in each sc around = 18 sc

• sc in next 7 sc, 5 dc bobble in next sc, sc in next 2 sc, 5 dc bobble in next sc, sc in next 7 sc = 18 sc

• *decrease - sc next 2 sc together*, repeat from * to * around = 9 sc decreases

• stuff with stuffing material

• *decrease - sc next 2 sc together*, repeat from * to * around, 1 sc in last sc = 4 sc decreases, 1 sc - 5 sc

• 2 sc in each sc around = 10 sc

• *1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat from * to * around = 15 sc

• *decrease - sc next 2 sc together*, repeat from * to * around, 1 sc in last sc = 8 sc decreases
