Repeat 5 times (not including making the magic circle. You only need to do that once.) Slip stitch into the first stitch to close and chain 40. Fasten off and leave a 1-inch tail. ...

Hello hello! Today I will share my friends and my best advice for incoming high school freshmen. Before we begin, please read my  disclaimer policy  and my  privacy policy .  Do not skip class. Ask yourself why you want to skip class. Is it really worth damaging your education? If it's because you hate the teacher/students there, talk to your counselor. If it's because someone is telling you to, don't do it and cut that person off. They do not have your best interests in mind.  Write down your class schedule and put it on your lock screen. You will totally get lost or be late on your first day, but I did not thanks to this. Get a map of your school and class schedule, write down how you get there, and add your lunchtime. Make sure you include room numbers.  Don't be embarrassed to ask for help. If you need help with getting places, homework, classwork, studying, etc. please ask for it. If you need help you need it, there's absolutely no shame in asking for ...

 Hello! How are you? I hope you're doing well.  Today I'll share a crochet pattern for a froggy water bottle holder. I made this pattern for my HydroJug (not sponsored, but it'd be cool if it was), so you may need to adjust certain parts so that it can fit your water bottle. But, before we begin, please read my  disclaimer policy  and  privacy policy .  Materials: 5mm hook, weight 4 yarn in green (I used dark green), white, black (you can also use safety eyes that people use on amigurumi instead), yellow or light green yarn, 1 stitch marker, and scissors.  Bottom: make this the circumference of the widest part of your water bottle, use green yarn.  Row 1: magic circle, chain 1, 8 single crochet in magic circle, slip stitch into first single crochet, close magic circle, and insert stitch marker into last single crochet. (8)  Row 2: Increase in every stitch (2 sc in every stitch), move stitch marker. (16) Row 3: (sc, inc) 8 times, move stitch m...

 Hello there! I’m Willow. How are you? I hope you’re well.  Before we begin, please read my  disclaimer policy  and my  privacy policy  .  Today I will share a pattern for a crochet ear band. Before we start, a few notes.  Notes : 1. Mine accidentally increased in size as I made it, so I highly suggest you count your stitches after every row to ensure that the size of your ear band doesn’t change. 2. If yours does end up increasing in size like mine, that’s ok! It just means that it can double as a visor, too!  Materials : since this pattern isn’t stitch-specific (meaning it doesn’t tell you to do a specific stitch number besides turning chains), you can use any yarn and hook you like. I used weight 3 yarn and a 3.0mm hook. You’ll also need something to weave your ends in, so either a tapestry needle, or you can just use your hook if you like, and some scissors   Row 1 : make a chain long enough to fit snugly around your (or whoever the ...
