SUN LIGHT OR DREAM CATCHER 3

Materials used :  Today I have used a little bit of our lovely Indian Red Rose knitting cotton yarn with a 1.75 mm crochet hook
You also need  fabric glue ; embroidery needle ; beads ; pearls ; a ring or bangle

In general : Use any yarn with a suitable hook to make these projects. The finer the yarn, the tinier the project.
For Indians : You could use Anchor , Red ros or unbranded knitting cotton as well

International yarns :  Among the international yarns I have used , I’d suggest Aunt Lydia Cotton 10, Aunt Lydia Bamboo-Viscose 10, DMC Petra, Sullivans knitting cotton (Australia), Milford Soft, Hilaza Rustica Eclat , Alize cotton yarn and Alize bamboo yarn.

Size made : 6.75” diameter

Difficulty level : Intermediate Skill level

Stitches used :
Starting slip knot : Here’s how you start with a slip knot.  https://youtu.be/lJcqsVcs8cw 

Starting slip knot 1 or the Sloppy Slip knot : This is a neat new way to start your work without a slip knot.  https://youtu.be/YfC7KmGpifs

Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.  
This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.  

For this sun / light / dream catcher, I’ve used the pattern from The Chilly Dog for the really awesome star dream catcher.


 I just loved how the pattern works up and think that this is going to be one big hit.  I also feel that my metallic yarn has added more to the awesomeness of the whole thing.. what do you think?

I started with metallic yarn and just a circle..  no beads..
