Using two strands of yarn, start with a magic circle. Yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook. Yarn under – bring working yarn from the front of the hook to the back (instead of wrapping back to front) Modified half double crochet photo tutorial The strap I used was originally 0.75” wide so I cut it in half making the strap approximately 0.375” wide by 8” long. It helps to use stitch markers to mark where the last stitch of the next round will be placed.Īdding leather straps (optional): cut the straps approximately 8” long and attach following the instructions of your rivet kit. To keep the join in a straight line on the holder instead of spiraling around, you’ll alternate starting a finishing a round like normal with a round that skips the first stitch and works the last stitch into the slip stitch of the round below. Yarn under: wrap yarn around the hook from front to back instead of back to front like a yarn over. Modified half double crochet (mhdc): yarn under, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through all three loops on the hook. The main part of the crochet pen holder is worked holding two strands of yarn together until you reach the last 5 rows.

Save this pattern on Pinterest Crochet Pen Holder Pattern They aren’t the strongest rivets so I wouldn’t use them for anything that will pull a lot (like belts or shoes) but they work great for hanging baskets.īoth the leather and rivet kit were purchased right on Amazon and delivered right to my door! I still haven’t checked if my local craft store has similar supplies but I am happy with the ones from Amazon. I absolutely love having my own little rivet kit and love how easy it is to use. I ended up cutting the leather strip in half lengthwise so the handle wasn’t as wide. I had leftovers from the Hartfield Basket so just used those. Like the Hartfield Hanging Baskets, this pen holder has a leather strap that’s held in place with rivets. This extra part folds in and gives the little basket extra sturdiness and covers the sides of the can if you used one. Once you’ve worked the main part of the pen holder, you’re going to start using just one strand of yarn and do 5 rows of regular half double crochets. The stitch uses a yarn under instead of a yarn over, which means you bring the yarn around the front of your hook instead of around the back.ĭon’t worry if that sounds complicated, there are pictures with step-by-step explanations and you’ll easily get the hang of it. The modified half double crochet used in this pen holder is almost as easy as a regular half double crochet, but it may take a minute to wrap your brain around.
