Crocheted pot

Last weekend was basically a catch up weekend for me, which means I have lots of new things to blog about! One of those new things is this crochet pot, which I started a couple of weeks ago.
   I found this jersey yarn at a strange little shop whilst on holiday, I don't think it's any particular brand but I've been seeing a lot of these jersey yarns around.

To make this pot I made a magic loop and then added in 10 double crochets. For row 2 I put in two double crochets into each stitch. For row three I alternated between adding two double crochets into a stitch and only adding one double crochet, so that I ended up with 30 stitches. Finally for row 4 and onwards I just double crocheted into each stitch until I got the desired hight.
I've found this pot very useful for my bedside table, so that the random stuff I put these (mainly jewellery) isn't just scattered all over the place.
I hope this has inspired you!

Great beach hair

Whilst on holiday I did this hairstyle on my sister the night before we went to the beach and although I had never done this hairstyle before, it was perfect for the beach. The corn rows at the top of her hair kept her hair out of the way but having the smaller braids underneath added volume so that the braids where able to flow and move and weren't so stationary.
To do this hairstyle I simply parted the hair from one ear to the other and sectioned off the bottom half by putting it in a bobble, There I proceeded to do corn rows that went straight back (although you could do zig zag or any other pattern) all the way along the top section. If your unsure on how to do corn rows see the video bellow.

Then I just did lots of smaller braids in the bottom section which gave most of the volume.
Although this hairstyle took along time it was really worth it as it kept my sisters hair out of the way for the whole day.This hairstyle can stay in for longer, it's just that my sister likes to changer her hairstyle on a daily basis but I know that I will definitely be doing this hairstyle again.
I hope this has inspired you!
