z. Double Chain Foundation (Crochet)
Double Chain Foundation (DCF) – what is it good for? It is especially good for when you have a foundation chain that has to be crocheted on both sides. A good example is when you are making booties. The DCF provides a stronger, less holey start to your work.

z.Baby Bootie Sizes
A chart of bootie sizes is a handy thing to have if you are into making booties for babies. Obviously! As with much of the measurements of things, there does not seem to be a concrete, universally agreed upon sizing. So I will just go with this below.

How to make and put together Tapestry Crochet bags sequentially
I was hooking away at my amigurumi and then pop! I was into making tapestry crochet bags!! I don’t even know how that transition happened. But I have been seriously and happily busy having fun with tapestry crochet ever since. In this article, I will discuss the method to put together a tapestry crochet bag the ClearlyHelena way!

One of bags shown above is named “Cat & Fishes” – an example of my kind of tapestry crochet bag. Details of it can be found via the link.

z. Stitch – Knit Single Crochet Stitch – How To
Knit Single Crochet Stitch is properly known as the Waistcoat Stitch.
Oops! Sorry – I didn’t know that when I thought I “invented” it!!!
Oops! Sorry – I didn’t know that when I thought I “invented” it!!!
I call this stitch the “ksc stitch” (knit single crochet stitch). AKA vsc because we work the sc into the “v” of the stitch below. I came upon it in experimentations. I call it “Knit single crochet” (or ksc for short) because it looks like a stockinnette knit stitch, doesn’t it?
Addendum:This stitch is called the “waistcoat stitch”. Thank you to Mel for commenting and pointing this out.
Note: This stitch is best suited for working in the rounds. Hence it is ideal for tapestry crochet bags and amigurumi projects.
For me, this is the ideal stitch for use in crochet amigurumi doorstops and for tapestry crochet bags. The ksc stitch produces a very strong fabric (almost like woven canvas) and is so dense that it is prevents weighted amigurumi small stuffing from falling out.

z. Duo Sided Crochet Cord
This duo sided crochet cord is one of my favourite ways of crocheting a cord. Lately I have been using them as strong and beautiful drawstring cords for some tapestry crochet bags I have been making. (My other top favourite crochet cord is the finger crochet cord).

z. Strong Crochet Strap; How to Thermal Stitch
I made up a name for this very useful stitch. I call it “strap single crochet stitch” or “ssc stitch” or “strap sc stitch” – because I first made it up when trying to find a way to make a strong, sturdy, (almost) non-stretch, smooth edged strap.
Addendum: 10 May 2018
Thanks to the readers who left me comments, I now know that I was not the first to create it (as I suspected) and this stitch has a proper name: namely Thermal Stitch or Siberian Stitch.
Thank you Cheryl, Brigitta, May!
How to make strong crochet strap (strap-sc stitch)
I have been making some crochet bags lately. They are sturdy and strong. And I wanted to make a crochet strap that would complement the whole feel of the bags. I wanted some strong crochet straps that would not stretch nor look sloppy. But none of the crochet stitches I knew could produce what I wanted. So I had to come up with something new (to me) … and it worked beautifully!
