| Here’s a simple bracelet good for newer crocheters. It also gives you a reason to dive into your button collection and finally use those odd leftover buttons that are too nice to just get rid of. The pattern will create a simple openwork texture that will be fun to wear for adults and children. |  |

For rainy days, what better way to dress up a baby’s feet than with rain boots? Easy and quick to make, these booties are something every mom would enjoy! The booties are crocheted in the round from the bottom up, with no sewing required.
| This choker style necklace really lives up to its name, but experienced crocheters can easily adjust the size by adding more fans. It can also be lengthened by adding chain–crochet or otherwise. |  |
| It is amazing how easy it is to freshen up your home decor for the new season. It doesn’t require a lot of money either. If you have some scrap yarn you can easily crochet this daisy chain trim which can be sewn onto pillows, curtain hems and more! By changing the color of the flowers you can easily update the trim for each passing season. You could also make this trim with fingering yarn which would make a delicate embellishment for nightgowns, baby clothes and fine linens. This pattern is quite addictive and fast to whip up. It is a great project to keep in your crochet arsenal! |  |
| This pattern is fast and simple and can be used when you want an open flower as an accent. It also makes a good addition to the wrapping on your handmade gifts. Feel free to make a bunch of these flower in multiple colors! |  |
| As the final few weeks of summer wind down we are enjoying the last of our homegrown watermelons. At first it seemed like we would never run out of our favorite summer treat, but alas they are dwindling. We’ve even taken several to our state fair to be displayed along with the rest of our garden’s bounty. It is so hard to believe that we are approaching the end of August. Before we know it the cool winds of autumn will be blowing. Remember summer by crocheting this easy watermelon potholder. This project makes a great gift! |  |
| There are no small parts, only small actors-and in this case the actors are all costumed fingers. This bunny finger puppet is made for little hands to keep them busy. With some scrap yarn and a little spare time, you can work up several plays’ worth of bunnies and put on a really good show. |  |
| I think sunflowers are one of the most beautiful flowers in the garden. Their smiling faces, which follow the movement of the sun, remind me to always look for the bright side of every circumstance and to turn my back on dark days. I find crochet easily as therapeutic as enjoying a beautiful flower garden. So, I decided to combine the two this week. This project can be whipped up in no time. I plan on making several sunflowers, joining them at the petals, and creating a lacy scarf. Another use for this easy pattern is coasters! |  |
| A while back, I became a big nail polish aficionado. At this point, I have over thirty bottles–not counting minis–and I still can’t get enough. It was only a matter of time before it bled into my other hobbies, and here it is–a crocheted bottle of nail polish. |  |
| For the amphibian fans, here is another motif to add to your collection, straight from the pond. This lily pad motif can be used as an applique, a coaster, or just another addition to frog or pond themed decor. |  |
