Special Stitch For The Aspen Tweed Hat
This tutorial is not for the traditional half double crochet 2 together stitch that uses both loops on both stitches. You are still creating a decrease in stitches, but this special stitch uses the front loop of the first stitch and the back loop of the next stitch or vice versa. It’s used in the pattern called the Aspen Tweed Hat.
How To Make A Pompom Using Your Fingers
Hello everyone!
There are many tools that you can make or buy that help you create a pompom, but they aren’t always necessary. I’ve seen people use toilet paper rolls, cardboard cutouts and forks, all of which usually produce great results. This photo tutorial demonstrates how to make a pompom using only your fingers and a pair of scissors. It’s cheap, fast and easy.
Jasmine Scarf
Well hello there!
May I present the Jasmine Scarf!
This scarf is unique in that it is a cross breed between the classic infinity scarf and the popular triangle scarves that I’ve been seeing around the web. I may not be the first one to create one of these, but I sure am proud of my version!
Spikes and Stripes Potholder
Well hello again!
I’m here today to share my latest design with you…the Spikes and Stripes Potholder.
Mostly everyone has to work with hot items in the kitchen at some point. College kids (Man, that microwave makes things hot! 😛 ), kids learning to cook, you or someone you love cooking your nightly meal—whatever the case may be—someone will still need a good potholder to protect their hands. Even my husband will take something out of the oven for me every once in a while, and why not have super cute and functional tools to tackle the job?
Upcycled Heart Garland
Hello Everyone!
These little hearts are absolutely adorable whether they are strung together in a garland or individual ornaments! You could make them in any color you could possibly imagine and they would work for so much more than just Valentine’s Day decorations!
Top 10 Patterns from 2017
Happy New Year!
I wanted to start this year off by sharing my 10 best patterns from 2017. Even though I haven’t been blogging for an entire year, I still managed to share roughly 60 free patterns in only eight months! That seems unreal to me.
Cabernet Cowl
Hello friends!
Well, the end of the year is upon us once again, but instead of feeling sad about it, this year I feel hopeful and excited for the year to come! Starting this blog and getting to share my crochet patterns with you all has been an amazing experience so far. I’m so blessed to be able to earn a living doing what I love and I am grateful for each and every one of you for your support!
To celebrate the coming new year, I designed this sparkly little gem of a cowl to wear to the party we attend every year at our neighbor’s house. No drinking and driving for us!
Hanging Mittens
Well hey there!
I just had to share this pattern for these adorable little hanging mittens!
There are actually a ton of uses for them. Off the top of my head, I came up with gift topper, gift card holder, hanging decoration for home or office, tree decoration, fill them with candy for small children and I’m pretty sure the size is great for the tiny hands of 1 or 2-year-olds as actual gloves!
12 Colorful Free Washcloth Patterns
Hey everyone!
I wanted to put together a list of twelve super colorful and free crochet washcloth patterns for you today! Washcloths are such a fun and rewarding project especially if you are a beginner. Even those of us who aren’t beginners, still tend to revel in the beauty of a completed project, no matter what the skill level required. I know I still do!
Denim & Ivory Lapghan
Hello everyone!
For the next two weeks, I wanted to create a couple super simple patterns that could be worked up quickly — items that would make great gifts. Because even if it isn’t a holiday, we still manage to give gifts and make donations year round, don’t we?
So this week, I designed the cutest little lap afghan, a lapghan if you will. (If that’s not already a word, it really should be! Ha!)
