Assorted Tape Measures (now with snowman)

[Crafty-in-tally]

Here is a collection of tape measures that I have been working on. I used my own patterns. My favorite so far is the turtle. I am working on a snowman now. Enjoy!!

LOVE 'EM! FYI one of the early wish lists under RAOK has a tape measure on their list. I forget who it but it is in the first page of lists.

Those are so cute!! I love the peppermint one. I have seen some crocheted online, but they are kind of expensive to buy. Great work!! I can't wait to see the snowman one.

Really cute, I like the orange one. Are the patterns available?

 

I used an 88cent tape measure from Wally World (they are blue).

For the circles (make 2)

CH2

Row 1 6sc in second ch from hook (6). join to first stitch, ch 1 do not turn

Row 2 2 sc in each sc (12) join to first stitch, ch 1 do not turn

Row 3 1 sc then 2 sc repeat around (18) join to first stitch, ch 1 do not turn

Row 4 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc repeat around, join and finish off

 

For the side

CH 28

Row hdc in 3rd ch from hook and in each stitch to end(25)

(I hope I wrote these instructions correctly, not used to writing instructions)

 

Whipstich the circles to the side. I put a little hot glue on the tape measure to hold it in place while I sew it. I put a button on the opposide side of the "face" so people know where to push to retract the tape measure.

 

Then just use your imagination for the rest. I won't give away all my secrets

 

Hope this helps to get you started. Enjoy

Cute ideas for tape measures.

 

Thanks for sharing.

I apologize if asking if a pattern was available was wrong. I hope you didn't feel pressured to post a pattern. I notice you have an on-line store & I would certainly have paid for the pattern, cause I'm not creative at all and am in awe of those of you who can come up with such clever ideas. Your tape measures are just so darn cute and would really make cute gifts for crafty friends. Thank you for sharing the pattern with us!
