Cut yarn, weave in ends. Optional: You may, if desired, run a strand of elastic cording through the ribbing on the inside for a more snug fit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Exact yarn and machine tension are not critical on this project, as long as you work a tension that produces a fabric texture and drape pleasing to you. I used 2 ends of an unlabeled fuzzy laceweight acrylic cone yarn. I varied the sizes of three scarves simply by changing the tension dial – Tension 5, 7 and 10.</span><br />

Thread a needle onto the starting end of the thread, and sew the chain edge of an eyelid to one side of the bead. Carry the chain edge up and over the bead, halfway covering it. Slip the needle thru the bead, and sew the other end of the chain to the other side of the bead. Finish off. Thread the ending tail of yarn of this piece onto the needle, and loosely sew the top of the DC edge to the scar behind the eye. You want to keep this loose and bumpy. Finish off. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Repeat for second eye.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I used to live in Germany, where the Green Party for several years formed part of the governing coalition. This has had a significant impact on the country's recycling laws and attitudes. One example is clear to see when grocery shopping. Folks always keep their own reusable bags or crates in the car to be available for groceries and other shopping. While plastic grocery bags are available, you have to pay extra for each one you need. It can be tough for Americans new in the country to remember to bring their bags with them. The Sunflower Shopping Bag with its bright and cheery flower is a reminder to grab your bag when you go. The addition of a key ring hook makes it easy to hang on the back of the seat, in the trunk, or wherever you need it to be sure not to forget.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is a good project to use up ends of crochet thread. I really wanted to use up some partial balls of white thread, rather than driving into the nearest city and purchasing the colors I wanted. What to do? So, I went to the kitchen to make a cup of tea and mull it over. AHA!! I raided the spice rack and pulled out my curry powder! Then I noticed that my husband hadn't finished up all of the coffee that morning. My second color! Dyeing with natural ingredients is a MUCH better alternative than driving 30 miles to buy more thread! And the entire residue goes in the compost, too. It's little decisions like this which add up to make a big difference over the long run.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Notes </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Dyeing the thread is OPTIONAL. You can use purchased green, brown and yellow threads. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">How to dye white thread for the sunflower:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Materials</strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1 Coffee filter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">2 TB Curry Powder or Turmeric for yellow</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1/2 water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1/2 cup leftover coffee or 1 tsp instant coffee granules for brown</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Measure the white thread into 2 hanks, one of 120 yards, and one of 60 yards. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Be careful not to splash any of the dye mixture on your clothing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Place the curry powder or turmeric in the coffee filter, close the top tightly with a rubber band. Place in a 2-cup glass bowl with 1/2 cup water. Microwave on high till the water boils. Turn the spice bag over, leave to sit 10 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Place the coffee in a separate glass bowl. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Place the larger hank of cotton in the bowl with the curry powder, and the smaller hank in the bowl with the coffee. If solid color is desired, completely immerse the cotton, adding more water as necessary. If a variegated color is desired, submerge 1/2 to 3/4 of the cotton in the water. Microwave till boiling, leave to cool. If deeper color is desired, add more spice/coffee, as required.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Rinse hanks well, hang to dry. Wind into balls when completely dry.</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Alternate brown dyeing method: Crochet the Pouch Front piece in white thread. Spray with warm water, sprinkle instant coffee over the damp cotton. Press the coffee into the cotton. Spray again and leave 20 minutes. Rinse well</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Special Stitch Pattern</strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This pattern replicates the sunflower seed pattern on the Pouch Front with triple crochet bobbles in a ground of single crochet. There are no 'build-up' chains between the single crochet and the triple crochet stitches. This causes the triple crochets to 'squish down' and make small bobbles, giving the Pouch Front some texture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've been crocheting left-handed for over 35 years. I also knit by hand and machine, sew, do needlepoint and embroidery and rug making. I'll take on just about anything involving fibers except tatting! When I'm not working with some kind of hook or needle, I'm likely to be found traveling somewhere in Europe, where I've lived the past several years. </span><br />
