simple rosary free pattern


Looks like I'm in the free crochet pattern mood lately... :) Well, I hope you don't mind another freebie. This time it's a pattern for a tiny rosary. I've made it for my friend, Ewa and I'm about to mail it to her.

Simple rosary free crochet pattern:

Hook: 1,75mm
Yarn: 100% acrylic
520m in 100g
brown
ch - chain
sc - single crochet
sl st - slip stitch
x5/x3 - repeat 5/3 times
(x) - number of stitches in a row
puff stitch - *wrap the yarn over the hook, insert the hook in the second ch from the hook, pull yarn through* (there will be 3 loops on the hook), repeat from * to * twice more (there will be 7 loops on the hook). Pull the yarn through all the loops on the hook.


We start at the cross:
ch11
, sl st in the 2nd ch from the hook and in the next 4 ch(one arm made), ch9, sl st in the 2nd ch from the hook and in the next 7 ch, ch6, sl st in the 2nd ch from the hook and in the next 4 ch (secon arm made), sl st in the remaining 5 ch

Don't cut off the thread but continue to mak e the chain and the beads:
ch5, *make a puff stitch, ch3*, repeat 9 more times (10 beads made), join with a sl st to the 1st chain above the cross.

Of course you can make a standard size rosary with that pattern. To do so, remmeber to add a bigger puff stitch after each 10 small puff stitches.

A bigger puff stitch:
*wrap the yarn over the hook, insert the hook in the third ch from the hook, pull yarn through* (there will be 3 loops on the hook), repeat from * to * three times more (there will be 9 loops on the hook). Pull the yarn through all the loops on the hook.

You're done! :)
It's so soft that it can make a perfect Bible bookmark as well!


P.S. If you happen to find any mistakes in the pattern, feel free to let me know!

  3. I used fingering yarn, but it all depends how big you want it to be. Worested or DK could be ok, too, but then the whole rosary will be bigger:)
