With summer just around the corner I thought I’d compile a list of some crochet dress ideas. These designs are beautiful, delicate and light, perfect for warm summer days. I’ve added links to each pattern page in the text below each photo. NEW: Catalina Skirt Free Pattern First up is this lovely Wildflower crochet dress. I really like this one with…
The fabulous crochet virus pattern has been really popular lately with it’s scary skull and bubbling spreading design. I’ve seen many beautiful blankets and shawls in so many wonderful colors made with this pattern that I just had to give it a go. Knowing I didn’t want to make a blanket or shawl, since I like to be different, I…
I needed to make an oval but didn’t have much luck in finding something suitable. I wanted to work in the round rather than in a spiral and I also wanted something that was written very simply. So, since I couldn’t find what I wanted I had to go figure it out myself until I got something I was happy…
Inspired by the success of the interlocking hearts design and because it’s springtime, I decided to create this beautiful linked butterfly design. This pattern is written so that it can easily be extended to make longer panels which can be joined together, perhaps with plain panels in between to make blankets of varying sizes. For this project I used Red…
Here’s another spiral Granny Square I came up with while experimenting with yarn. I’ve written out the free crochet pattern and made a video tutorial for you.

I’ve made quite a few different styles of spiral hats and now I’ve figured out how to make the spiral into an egg shape for Easter. This crochet spiral egg makes a cute kid-friendly Easter decoration. The kids can also play catch with them…
Here is my pattern for a simple hat with no sew brim. I see a lot of patterns for beanies like this with the brim made separately and then sewn on. I wanted the stretchy style of brim but without the sewing. This pattern uses one continuous thread from the top all the way to the end of the brim.…
The interlocking hearts motif has been really popular lately and, knowing I love a challenge, my friends tasked me with coming up with a pattern to make something similar. I’d made solid hearts a few years before so knew how to make the curves and bottom point. The only thing that got me stumped was how to make that central…
Here is my pattern for interlocking hearts set into a panama hat. The hat fits an adult. Let me know if you want a pattern for a smaller size. If there’s enough people wanting it I’ll figure it out and write it up. There are 12 hearts in the hat so…
