Crochet Rocks For Unique Teacher Gift

I found another excuse to crochet some rocks! I did this the first time for wedding favors and thought it could also work for an inexpensive end of year gift to our favorite teachers.

You can find patterns for doilies all over the internet, and after you've done a few it's pretty easy to make it up as you go. A lot of people have asked how I actually get the doily on to the rock. I literally crochet it on. When the doily is the size you want it, start making loops of chains connected to the previous row with single crochets. position it on to the rock and continue with chains and single crochets, reducing the number of chains to make it tighter.

My personalized tags 
I created an image on Picmonkey then inserted the image into a word document. First arrange three of the images in the first row. After it's spaced how you want, just select the entire first row, copy, press enter to skip down to the next row and paste. Repeat this until you have the number of tags you need, print on card stock and cut out.

 The pattern for this rock can be found at PIE: Pieces I Enjoy
