the first project i created after years of not crocheting was a dicebag for myself - I'm going to start my first dnd campaign sooon (<3)
so what should it be? something easy, let's have a look arou.... oh. or I could make a d12? sure
step 1: find a sturdy looking pentagon pattern and crochet 12 pentagons
we are getting there
step 2 I needed numbers on them, so I was trying to find crochet numbers. they were all too big, so I decide to just create chains in white and sew them on.
this was the longest part of the whole project by the way. crocheting the pentagons? the shortest.
(on the paper next to the pentagons i was trying to figure out, how many chains will i need for each of the numbers)
I decided to use the "wrong side" for the numbers because it was slightly easier to sew them on. maybe next time i should prepare and plan things?
part 3
assembly!
and then the poor thing got stuck in limbo for weeks. i hate the finishing touches, especially hiding the excess yarn (which is like 10 minutes, but just... no) but now i finished it, so the blog is doing it's purpose i guess :)
I still have to figure out how i want to close it - i don't really like the zipper idea, so i might add picot border on both sides of the opening and use strings, but i am not sure yet. if anyone has ideas how else could i solve it, feel free to add :)
i used scrap yarn, and a 2.5 hook for the pentagons and assembly, and probably a 2 for the letters.
not the prettiest project ever, but it's mine, and i will carry it with me to glorious adventures :)
