Crochet Border Capris

September 15, 2014 0Comments
crocheted denim capris

I made these crocheted borders for a pair of jeans I had that were too short! I used Crochet Thread #3 and a Size 2 Crochet Hook. I chained enough stitches to go around the border and then started the pattern from there, taking some inspiration from the Birthday Doily. After I had too identical borders I pinned them to the capris, which I had prepared by cutting them to a desired length and using the sewing machine to stich 1/4″ hem around. After pinning the border in place, I took a needle and thread and went to work. I’ve washed these jeans since several times, and the crochet border remains in place and looking good! I love these jeans now!

Here is my free crochet pattern using a size H crochet hook and cotton yarn -  Lily Sugar & Cream or a size U.S. G  (4.0 mm) hook and Deborah Norville EVERYDAY yarn. You'll see photos here from a previous crocheted wine bottle holder I made with sock yarn and beads too!

Crocheted Wine Bottle Cozy - round by round

Base

  • Chain 4, slip stitch to form a ring.*
  • Round 1: Ch 3, 11 dcs in the ring for a total of 12 double chains. Slip stitch in top of first double chain.
  • Round 2: Ch 3, dc in same stitch, 2 dc in each around for a total of 24 double chains. Slip stitch in top of first double chain.
  • Round 3: Ch 3, dc in same stitch, *dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch*, repeat around = 36 double chain stitches. Slip stitch in top of first double chain.
  • Round 4: Chain 3, dc in each stitch around. Slip stitch in top of first double chain.
  • Round 5: Chain 1, sc in each stitch around. Slip stitch in top of first double chain.

Body

  • Round 6: Ch 3, Skip 2 stitches, SC in next stitch, *Ch 3, skip 2, sc in next stitch* repeat around.
  • Round 7: Ch 3, sc in the chain 3 space, *Ch3, sc in next chain 3 space* repeat around.
  • Repeat row 7 until the desired length to the next of the bottle. For me this is about 9 chain three spaces. Remember that it will stretch. You want it to reach just below the neck of the bottle, so that when it's tied it stretches and you can see the chain three spaces nicely.

Scalloped top

  • In each chain 3 space do the following: *hdc, dc, dc, tc, dc, dc, hdc*
  • Slip stitch to beginning hdc and cut yarn.

Cord

A simple cord inserted in and out of the spaces just below the scallops then tied around the neck of the bottle.
  • Chain 80 stitches.
  • Slip stitch into 1st chain from the hook and sl st in every chain around.

Finishing

  • Slip cord through the chain-3 gaps beneath the scallops and tie. Weave in all ends.
  *If you need help understanding how to slip stitch to form the beginning circle and the basic idea of creating the base, I found a great video from Bella Coco, that demonstrates how to crochet a flat circle. I've started it at about 2 minutes in, which is where you'll see how to slip stitch to close.
