Crochet Pattern: Airy Hooded Cowl

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on September 15th, 2013 by Candace – Be the first to comment
My favorite jacket and coat share several things in common, but the most inconvenient similarity is the lack of a hood, so accessories become a necessity. A hooded cowl is an easy alternative to a hat and scarf when it’s time to face cooler weather. This open shell patterned cowl is easy to customize. It is crocheted from the bottom up, all in one piece. crochet airy hooded cowl

Crochet Pattern: Diamond Ruffle Scarf

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on September 8th, 2013 by Candace – 1 Comment
There’s a new crochet pattern in the Crochet Spot Store! Transitional weather calls for cool accessories like skinny scarves – enough to keep you warm without making you hot. The mixture of taller stitches and shorter ones give the edges a gentle lettuce effect. This scarf works up quickly, and the ruffled sections can be done while watching TV. The cabled diamonds require a knowledge of tall stitches and a few other tricks. crochet diamond ruffle scarf

Crochet Pattern: Trista Earrings

I love crochet thread earrings (and other jewelry for that matter), and these are no different. They are very light in weight, but for a little more heft, you can add beads either in pattern or dangling as an afterthought. crochet_trista_earrings

Crochet Pattern: Itty Bitty Hat

Posted in Free Crochet Patterns on August 31st, 2013 by Candace – 3 Comments
Miniature accessories are very versatile. They can be used with figurines, dolls, as embellishments, or as accessories for you. I can see this mini hat as a cute keychain, charm, or barrette, but its uses are only limited by your imagination. Where will you put yours? crochet_itty_bitty_hat

Crochet Pattern: Cupster

Posted in Free Crochet Patterns on August 24th, 2013 by Candace – 7 Comments
What is a cupster, exactly? It’s simply a coaster with a lip that cups the bottom of your glass. One benefit of a cupster is that if it fits snugly on the glass, the cupster will stay with it, and you don’t have to worry about making sure your coaster is wherever you set the glass down. crochet_cupster

Crochet Pattern: Peephole Clutch

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on August 18th, 2013 by Candace – 2 Comments
I don’t know about you, but I like to keep music with me whenever I go out, just in case. The peephole in this clutch is convenient for stringing your headphones through, so you can listen to your phone or mp3 player (or Walkman, if that’s your thing!) with minimal fuss. You can also use it to hang your clutch on a hook when you need your hands free. The pattern calls for bulky weight yarn, making the clutch fast to crochet. It’s crocheted all in one piece so that there is minimal sewing required. crochet peephole clutch

Aside from decorating accessories and household items, this smiling applique would also make a cheerful gift tag.

While this particular applique is small, it presents a challenge, requiring you to crochet into the sides of stitches as well as into the bottom of the starting chain.
