MOD AIR FRESHNER COVER/Flag Day USA~2026; Castle Rock-WA

MOD Air Freshener Cover/Flag Day USA~2026

I worked this little air freshener cover up last night ๐Ÿงถ✂️ - just in time for Flag Day ๐Ÿ“…๐Ÿ˜Š

The pattern is very simple & though the st looks complicated - it is also a very simple process.

Materials: Worsted yarn in Red, White & Blue; size #I regular crochet hook; scissors; tapestry needle;  1 ct. Renuzit Gel Cone Air Freshener

Terms Used:

ch = chain

dc = double crochet

sc = single crochet

st = stitch

sl st = slip stitch

EA = each

x = times (repeat)

jn = join

rpt = repeat

yo = put yarn over the hook

EO = end off


With Red, & working from the bottom edge upward, make 34 ch; jn with a sl st & T

Row 1: Ch 1 & *sc in next st x4, hdc x2, dc x3, hdc x2* - rpt from * to * 2 more times; jn with a sl st & T

WORK EA ROW IN ROUNDS

Rows 2 thru 5: Ch 1 & work as follows - *put hook tip through same sp & yo, drawing up a loop - put hook tip in next st & yo, draw yarn through both loops* - rpt * to * across row; jn with a sl st. EO Red, attach White & T

Put hook tip through same sp & yo, drawing up a loop …
Put hook tip in next st, & yo
Draw yarn through both loops.

Rows 6 & 7: Ch 1 & continuing work in pattern, dec sts evenly until there are 28 sts remaining; jn with a sl st & T

Row 8: Ch 1 & continuing work in pattern, dec sts evenly until there are 24 sts remaining; jn with a sl st. EO White, attach Blue & T

Rows 9 & 10: Ch 1 & continuing work in pattern, dec sts evenly until there are 20 sts remaining; jn with a sl st & T

Rows 11 &12: Ch 1 & continuing work in pattern, dec sts evenly until there are 18 sts remaining; jn with a sl st & T

Rows 13 thru 15: Ch 1 & continuing work in pattern, dec sts evenly until there are 15 sts remaining; jn with a sl st & T

On last row, thread yarn end through tapestry needle - run needle through sts and pull tight. EO

Air Freshener Cover is now finished and ready to be put to use.

I couldn't help myself ๐Ÿคญ

MOD SHAMROCK COASTER; Castle Rock-WA

Paddy's Day is coming up ๐Ÿ“… … and I wanted a themed coffee mug ☕️ coaster - so, I designed this one, today ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

It's pretty easy to work up.

MOD Shamrock Coaster~March 9th, 2026

Materials: Worsted weight yarn (2 shades green & 1 yellow); #G/6 crochet hook; scissors; tapestry needle.

Terms used:

ch = chain 

sc = single crochet

jn - join

st = stitches

EA = each

rpt - repeat

sl st = slip stitch

EO = end off


Coaster: Ch 2 - not too tight … not too loose: make 8 sc in first ch; jn to 1st sc to make a foundational circle - do not turn

Foundational circle + ch 6

Row 1: Ch 6 & with hook, pull up 1 st in each ch - and between the 1st & 2nd sc of foundational circle.

Pull up 1 st in each ch - and between the 1st & 2nd sc of foundational circle.

Now, yarn over & draw yarn through the two loops on hook (much like and afghan st would be worked) until you have worked through each pulled loop …

Yarn over & draw yarn through the two loops on hook.

Row 2: C1 & begin begin working Tunisian st pattern in the front bar of EA sts, as follows: repeat the row 1 process - except this time work the last st in the front of foundational sc circle, before drawing yarn through the two loops on hook, as done previously.

Ch 1 at end of row.
Working of the end st into the front of the foundational circle sc.

Row 3: C1 & repeat the row 2 process - except this time work the last st in the back of same foundational sc circle st of row 2,  before drawing yarn through the two loops on hook, as done previously.

Back of work …
Working of the end st into the back of the foundational circle sc (front of work).

Row 4: C1 & repeat the row 2 process - except this time work the last st between the 1st & 2nd sc of foundational circle, before drawing yarn through the two loops on hook, as previously done.

Recap of [working of end st between sts] of foundational circle.

Continue the pattern sts in like manner, alternating the end sts as described in rows 2 through 4. These three rows will form the circular shaping of the coaster.

Pattern will form a circular shape.

Repeat pattern rows 2 through 4, around the foundational circle, until coaster shape is complete: 

Complete the circle …

Then line up the Tunisian st bars & work the pattern sts to form a nice seam - there will be a little rise to the seam, but not enough to throw a concerning wrinkle into the end result.

Line up Tunisian pattern bars and close the seam …

Sl st end st to first st, EO - weave in loose ends; embroider the design, & and begin the trim pattern.

Sl st end sts for a nice finish.
Weave in the loose ends, &  EO
Internet 4-leaf Clover Embroidery Graph.
General idea - it doesn't need to be a perfect Graph mimic.

Trim: Attach variegated yarn & begin edge trim as follows - *ch 1, sl st in next st*; rpt around, ending with a sl st in first sl st. EO & weave in loose ends.

Trimmed & ready for Paddy Day use.
