Crochet Pattern: Roll Up Hook Organizer

By Amy Yarbrough – 8 Comments
Using a beautiful stitch called the Catherine Wheel, this pattern is a delightful blend of shells and clusters, perfectly displayed when using two colors, but just as pretty with one.
I first discovered the Catherine Wheel when making a baby blanket, my first. And now I believe it has to be the prettiest stitch I’ve had the pleasure to crochet.

Tie
With crochet hook G, ch 50, finish off.

Assembly
Cut a piece of material about 9” (23 cm) x 10” (25 cm), fold raw edges and seam. Sew to crocheted piece by hand or use a machine. If using a machine, pin a layer of tissue paper to the crocheted side to avoid getting the yarn caught in the machine, and sew a wide stitch.

Cut five 9” (23 cm) strands of ribbon. Line 2 strands side to side on piece, tuck ends under folded edges of liner and glue. When the glue is dried, sew 4 small stitches reaching from liner to ribbon on both ends. With the other 3 strands of ribbon, line them perpendicular to other strands and attach the same way. Sew a small “x” in each spot where the ribbon intersects, straight through all thicknesses. You should have 6 “x” ‘s. (Open View) Roll Up Hook Organizer

To further divide the slots, use a small dab of fabric glue between ribbon and liner. You could also sew a small stitch instead, but I found the glue to be easier.

Roll your hook organizer up and tie with your chain.

    How do I crochet 5 together?

    • Hi Marie, thanks for taking the time to try my pattern.

      If you are speaking of “5 dc in one st”, then simply crochet 5 separate double crochets in the same stitch.

      If you are referring to the dc5tog:
      Yarn over the hook, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull yarn through 2 loops on the hook. There should be 2 loops on the stitch, one from the previous sc and one from the stitch you just made. Work the same thing four more times and you should have 6 loops on the stitch. To finish dc5tog, yarn over and pull through all 6 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through remaining loop. Now you have dc5tog.

      I hope this is helpful!

    It’s good to see this stitch pattern is as popular as ever. I crocheted two blankets for my then newborn niece, one of them in using the ‘Catherine Wheel’. I’ve also come across it referred to as ‘star stitch’.
