Ultimate Crochet Contest Is Back!!

Happy new years crocheters!

With putting the contest on pause for the Christmas holidays and New Years celebrations I am excited to announce that the game is back on!

I am willing to bet that many of you were rushing just as much as I did to create those last minute stitches to finish that project for a gift. Did you get to finish? I didn't. The blanket I was making ended up breaking apart. There was something wrong with the yarn that made it break with tension. And so I started back up again with new yearn just recently. It will be late but better late than never.

I was also able to make a slouchy hat for my niece.

It was quite easy and worked up fast. I started with a magic circle, worked my way up using hdc or dbc (trying to remember lol). One row was made to make the ribbing, so I crocheted back post. Then the next 2 rows after that I crocheted regularly and then the next row back post again.
For the brim I just did 3 stitches back post and 3 stitches from post and followed that pattern till I was happy with the size of it. ( Can you tell I am not good at writing the how to's? lol)

And that was all I had time to make. I would have loved to make more, just not enough time.

Ok back to the contest!

As per usual, you have 2 weeks to write up a post and send me the link in the comments section below. This will give you enough time to either start a new project, perhaps finish it or to finish up what you already have going. If you want to share something that you have created over the holidays please do! It doesn't have to be written up as a 'how to' post, it can be of the object you made and someone receiving it with their reactions. It can be of how decorative it is in your living room or how nice it fits on you or goes with your outfit. There are so many ways to show off what you made and the entries I have received in the past showed off some great pictures, awesome handmade items, and awesomely written posts. I look forward to seeing more of that :D

And so here are the rules....

• Write a post about what you created, including one or more pictures. I want to be able to give extra support to my fellow Steemians. A crocheted piece is something to take to heart.

• Share your post with me by putting up your link in the comments section on this post.

• I do ask for you to please share this contest. I understand some people have their standards and would rather not, so it is not mandatory. But please know that the more eyes we have on this post the more people will join the contest, take part, build a bigger crochet community and the more chances people will upvote to support, which means you get a bigger prize in the end.

• An upvote is much appreciated but also not mandatory. The payout of this post is what I can give out for prizes at this moment. The more this post makes, the more you win.

How it works

I will be asking someone different every contest to help me choose the top 3. For this first contest, I will split the amount between the 3 contest winners. As the contest grows, the more I can give out more rewards.
For everyone that participates I will be resteeming your post and upvoting. My upvote isn't worth much but I am working on that.

Ok awesome Crocheters! Time to show me what you got! Get those hands to work and out your skills to the test!

Happy crocheting!
