UPCYCLING & MENDING

With Crochet
B Y TA R A O R C H A R D
Before we talk about anything else, we have to talk Fixing things you have
about what upcycling actually is. When you upcycle a with crochet:
piece, you take something that is old and worn, something
with holes or stains that may not fit anymore or might And what happens if your dog chews a hole in your
not look as good as it used to, and you’re making it look couch? You could get a new one, but that isn’t always
completely new. an option. Try crocheting a patch to cover the hole or
It goes hand in hand with mending, which fixes rips crocheting a heart or flower or other appliqué and sewing
and tears, but upcycling is more about a transformation that over the hole. (How cute would it be to sew the lizard
than a simple repair. You’re taking old pieces and recycling bookmark onto the arm of your couch to hide a hole or
them, which helps cut down on waste and helps keep our even a stain?)
environment healthy.
And you’re not just reusing the pieces themselves.
This is a great way to use up scraps from previous projects!
With the rise in popularity of thrift stores and found
vintage items, mending and upcycling have also become
popular. The days of hiding imperfections are over and
crafters are embracing creative mending (also known as
visible mending).
In other words, unnoticeable patches that match the
existing fabric are being replaced with colorful appliqués
and mending patches that are made to be seen and draw
your attention. They become part of the design and are a
great way to make something unique.
Using items you already have:

With upcycling, you can use things you already have
on hand with your crochet projects. If you don’t feel like
crocheting straps for a tote bag, cut an old belt in half and
use that for handles. Old, stained sheets can be cut into
T-shirt yarn (cutting around the stains, of course), and can
be used to crochet baskets or rugs. You can take $1 sandals
and crochet around them to add some cute detailing or turn
them into slippers.

U pc yc ling & Mending With C ro c h et
You can make granny squares any size to cover any hole.
Or you can make a bunch of appliqués and turn a large
hole into a piece of art. Think of a field of crocheted flowers
scattered over the bedspread your cat clawed up or a group
of adorable woodland creatures on a jacket that got stuck in
a door. You can fix a backpack that was dragged on the floor
a few times too many with a variegated patch that takes up
the entire bottom of the bag.
When adding patches and appliqués to mend pieces,
especially couches, you’re going to want to make sure there
aren’t a lot of holes that would let any stuffing get out. Make
sure you’re using stitches that are suitable for this—treble
crochet is probably not a stitch you want to use.
If you’re just trying to hide a stain, then you can always
cut it out and add something like the details of the Crochet
Accent Tee (see photo on page 14).
Altering your favorite pieces:

Bodies change, and sometimes your favorite pieces don’t
fit like they once did or aren’t as flattering as they used to
be. One thing I have the hardest time giving up are old shirts
and sweatshirts from concerts because they have so many
memories attached to them.
If a top is tighter than you want it to be, you can always
undo the side seams and add a few of the pineapples from
the Boho Skinny Belt to each side to make it wider than it
was. You can even crochet new panels by following the first
few rows of the Lace Stripe Cover-Up.
You can add the body of the Swing Tank to the bottom
of any dress or shirt that’s shorter than you would like, not
just adding length, but adding fun fringe too.
Maybe you have a camisole that you never wear
anymore? You can add a few granny squares to the top of it tank tops or wear them anymore. You can add sleeves to it.

Upcycle T-Shirt
DESIGN BY TESSA MADSON
With the addition of lacy sleeves and a neckline trim,

any T-shirt can become new again! The cool, breezy sleeve pieces
create a lovely cap-sleeve look and the addition of beads
adds a touch of interest to any garment. Check your closet to
see which of your T-shirts you can upcycle!

Sleeve formula:
Round armhole measurement to nearest
whole inch (i.e. 19 inches).
Add 1 inch for ease (i.e. 19 inches + 1 =
20 inches).
Multiply result by 4 to determine the
number of foundation sc needed (i.e. 20
inches multiplied by 4—gauge of
4 foundation sc per inch = 80 foundation
sc needed).
Step 1: Calculate the number of
foundation sc needed using the sleeve
formula above.
Work a first foundation sc (see Special
Stitches) followed by the number of next
foundation sc (see Special Stitches) needed.
