Back in the 70’s as a kid I remember the Pet Rock, I’ve also seen artists paint rocks with lovely imagery, I even remember watching the old Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown cartoon each year and laughing when each house Charlie Brown goes to gives him a rock, when everyone else gets a chocolate bar.
But low and behold, while browsing through the crochet library on Ravelry.com, I found something I’d never seen before. I’m sure these have been around forever, but to me, this was golden.
They call them a variety of names, from crocheted pebbles, to rock cozies; but to me these were something elegant and beautiful. One Ravelry member was nice enough to share her pattern, so I bought some lace thread and brought out the crochet hook that used to belong to my Gramma. I followed the pattern for the first rock and free formed it for the other 2 rocks.
They turned out beautifully, I decided to call them my “Friendship Stones”, and gave them to 3 of my friends here at work..
If you’re interested in giving them a try, Sascha at Love toKnit on Blogspot has provided a nicely written free pattern for 3 different designs.
