Tutorial: Crochet Bind-Off

I have started using this bind off lately. I think it is a lot easier than the one I learned. I may have invented it but I doubt it. anyway, I hope you like it!

 First insert a hook of the same size as the needle you have been using for the item (use a needle/hook sizer)

 Now knit the stitch

Repeat till there are two stitches on your HOOK

Now pull the(white) stitch through the (blue) stitch  

Yay!

Now repeat till you have cast off all your stitches.

I have a helpful review coming up soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks,
Rainbow Zbra

Tutorial: Crochet Scarecrow

Here Is the post I promised yesterday:

To make this scarecrow you will need: 

This Pattern from All About Ami 

There are two links because the pattern was not published on her blog.

Cute Hu?

I substituted the safety eyes with a sphere button.

I did not sew all the way around so the patch became a pocket!  

I left his hair long in the back. Tip: instead of making a knotted mess on the back of his head
Stuff the knots in the staring hole. kind of like a wig.

I used less fringe on his hands and feet so his hands are visible

Make sure you check out the blog All About Ami she has great posts about her and her love for amigurumi! Also If you want to buy this very scarecrow that I made only for this post you can do so Here one time only chance so get it while you can.
