The idea for this pattern started out with my little one needing a santa hat for preschool. Instead of finding the shop-bought one I have stashed away somewhere I had this great idea to make one! Somehow I managed to conceive this idea and finish the whole thing in just one day. Guess I’m getting better at designing? Normally it…
Are you excited for Fall? I am! This week I’ve been busy admiring crochet sweater patterns and I found all these wonderful designs! In addition to it being pretty much Fall, my personal reason for looking at sweaters is that I’ve been wanting to design and make my own for a while, and, since I’ve never made a sweater I…

All these projects have free written patterns, some include photos too. Most are good for beginners but can be enjoyed by all skill levels. I…
I love cats, crochet and free stuff. So combining these 3 things together, I went on a scavenger hunt and found a whole bunch of free cat crochet patterns to share with you. I found so many patterns it was hard to choose but I narrowed it down to 33, which is still a lot so I’ve tried to organize…

Yesterday I started making my first crochet toy – an Amigurumi Bunny. I ran out of purple so the limbs are green and I can’t finish it yet since I don’t have any stuffing. I’m quite pleased with how it’s looking so far since I haven’t been crocheting long and have only done blankets and small simple things so far.Here’s…
The design for this project came from a picture of a top I found a while ago. I liked the idea of creating a garment with a central focal point – kind of like a mandala you can wear! My goal was a light weight summer top so I chose a light cotton yarn. I love how the blue tones…
Just in time for Valentine’s Day I crocheted this cute little purse and I love how the pink hues of the variegated cotton yarn really pop against the stormy grey background. I had a lot of fun designing this sweet little bag and I’ve written out the pattern so you can make it too! It would make a great Valentine’s…

I’ve enjoyed making sun hats this summer but there is so much more versatility when it comes to winter hats and matching accessories too! I’ve also had lots of fun creating crochet bags and experimenting with different stitches,…
