In this post, we will mix two widely used materials that many of you will surely like. On the one hand, we have the t-shirt yarn It is a material that is very fashionable and with which you can make a multitude of objects. Bags, T-shirts, rugs, baskets, dog leashes, etc. And on the other hand, we have the technique of crochet so typical of our grandmothers and that, today it is still used for countless accessories.

In this article, we will merge both techniques to learn how to crochet and t-shirt yarn in a circular shape.

Materials

  1. T-shirt. 
  2. Crochet yarn. 
  3. Crochet hook the right number.

Our Process

Once we have chosen the materials that we will use and what we want to do, we will proceed to begin. First, we will make a chain of six that we will close forming a circle. Next, we will add the fabric to the chain forming a circle in the following way.

Pay attention to the photographs because the point will always be the same. To make it clearer, I We will explain schematically:

  • We will pass the needle through a hole in the chain and we will take the thread from the bottom that we will remove upwards, placing it in the upper part of the fabric as we see in the first photograph.
  • In the second photograph, we can see that the point continues to enter the second time we take the thread through the first. So that we have wrapped the cloth and the circle is closed.
  • Finally, we will make a chain stitch.

Finally, for the circle to grow, we will make a chain stitch between each of the rings and two more points every three rings. Thus, the circle will grow and become flat.

As you can see, the technique is very simple and repetitive. It will be enough to get the hang of it a bit to make a trivet, a rug, a cushion or whatever comes to mind.

Until the next DIY!
