I very like make dreamcatchers and it nice looks with featers. But if you crochet a color dream catcher, then it is difficult to find the feathers of the desired color. For my work, I found a way out. Now I use crocheted feathers from yarn of the same colors.
Crocheted feathers looks very cozy and beautiful and you can use it also for making another decorations like bookmarks, crochet jewelry, wall hangings ets.
So how to crochet feathers?
Materials: you can use any yarn. But remember – the thicker the yarn you use, the larger the feather will be.
I used cotton yarn Phildar Phil Coton 3 (50 g / 121 m) and 3 mm hook.
Step 1: chain 4, chain 7, chain 1, slip stitch in the next 6 chains, chain 4.
Row 1: chain 3 (count as 1 dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 1 dc3tog (3 dc together), 1 dc on the middle, 1 dc3tog, 3 dc in the last chain.
Row 2: chain 3 (count as 1 dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 1 dc3tog, 1 fptrc (front post treble crochet), skip the double chain of the previous row, 1 dc3tog, 3 dc in the last dc.
Row 3 – 6: chain 3 (count as 1 dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 1 dc3tog, 1 fpdtr (front post double treble crochet), skip the double chain of the previous row, 1 dc3tog, 3 dc in the last dc.
Row 7: chain 3 (count as 1 dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 1 dc3tog, 1 fpdtr, skip the double chain of the previous row, 1 dc3tog, 2 dc in the last dc.
Row 8: chain 3 (count as 1 dc), 1 dc2tog (2 dc together), 1 fpdtr, skip the double chain of the previous row, 1 dc2tog, 1 dc in the last dc.
Row 9: all stitches will be finished together – chain 3 (count as 1 dc), 1 dc4tog (4 dc together). You will have 5 loops in your hook to finished them together, chain 1 and fasten off.
Weave all the ends.
