Crochet Pattern: Gracie the Butterfly

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on December 1st, 2013 by Candace – 3 Comments
Gracie is a butterfly with an amigurumi body and open wings. She is a great addition to a child’s room and would look neat on a shelf or among other stuffed animals. The wings have a lot of shaping but intermediate crocheters should have no problem. The wings are crocheted separately and then sewn onto the main body. Feel free to mix and match colors to create a butterfly that is uniquely yours! crochet butterfly

Crochet Pattern: Ivy League Tote

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on November 24th, 2013 by Claire Ortega-Reyes – 2 Comments
This tote is named after the mark of any prestigious university—climbing ivy vines. This bag is tote-ally unique with its crocheted embroidery design, and pretty braided handles. Measuring a roomy 4” x 11” x 12.5,” it makes great company on errands or a day at the library.

You won’t even have to sew a lining into it—most of the bag is made in single crochet (sc) stitches. It’s also made with medium weight yarn, making it extra sturdy. Make it in a color with different shades for a subtle look, or use contrasting colors to make the design shine.

Crochet Pattern: Scarecrow Hat (5 Sizes)

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on November 17th, 2013 by Amy Yarbrough – Be the first to comment
Last year my sister wanted some pictures with Susie, our scarecrow. This year she can look the part with a hat just like Susie’s. Using a worsted weight yarn, that most people usually have on hand, this hat is simple and quick to make. The brim is loose and floppy, perfect for the happy-go-lucky look, and you can pick from 5 different sizes to ensure a good fit. Add a touch of contrasting yarn for the band and complete the picture with a piece of straw. You can’t go wrong! crochet scarecrow hat

Crochet Pattern: Hexagonal Nesting Boxes

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on November 14th, 2013 by Candace – 2 Comments
This pattern is for four pieces – two boxes that fit together one inside the other and two lids. Each piece is crocheted in the round with double crochet stitches. The boxes are naturally soft and flexible, but feel free to starch or stiffen then if you desire. Make the box and lid in different colors to create a unique look. The boxes are the perfect size for storing your crochet notions or small nicknacks. They also make great gifts for others.

Crochet Pattern: Leafy Doily

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on November 10th, 2013 by Amy Yarbrough – 1 Comment
Long before crocheting became popular in the 60’s, the art was used for making many things. One item that has always been crocheted is doilies. Doilies have been a part of our culture in a small way for what seems like centuries. This doily pattern has a modern spin with its vibrant colors. The doily is crocheted in the round from the center out and the colorful leaves are joined in as you go. Crochet this doily or a set of them to add to your fall decor. crochet leafy doily

Crochet Pattern: Athena Lacy Textured Shawl

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on November 3rd, 2013 by Claire Ortega-Reyes – 5 Comments

Athena is the Greek goddess of wisdom, warfare, and the arts (among others). She is the inspiration for this shawl, both lacy and textured, featuring crocodile stitches and a lacy edging. The main body resembles what could have been part of a warrior’s armor, but the lacy border provides a very ladylike sophistication.

Measuring 49″ wide by 25″ tall, this shawl gently hugs the shoulders and gracefully skims the bottom of your back. Make it in lace weight rayon (as used in the photos here) or other plant-based yarn like cotton or bamboo for a stylish summer or spring accessory. Make it in wool or other animal-based yarn to give more warmth for fall or winter.

Crochet Pattern: Moebius Cluster Cowl

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on October 27th, 2013 by Candace – 1 Comment
The Cluster Moebius Cowl is quick to crochet but has a lot going on – clusters of different sizes, spaces, bobbles, and to top it off, it’s a moebius. This one-sided and single-edged accessory requires knowledge of several techniques and has a fiddly start, but once you get going, it’s a fun project to work on. Wear this cowl to keep your neck warm in fall, spring, or winter! crochet moebius cluster cowl

Crochet Pattern: Trellis Wrap

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on October 19th, 2013 by Amy Yarbrough – Be the first to comment
In the crisp morning air there is nothing more pleasant than being able to wrap a handmade shawl or wrap around your shoulders. This wrap has beautiful drape and, contrary to many beliefs due to the “holes”, is very warming. I chose Bernat Bamboo yarn because I wanted something delicate and comfortable. I’m happy to say that it turned out extremely well. Try it out and tell me what you think. You can wear it for both warmth and style. Either way, be sure and have fun crocheting! Trellis Wrap

Crochet Pattern: Slouchable Fingerless Gloves

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on October 13th, 2013 by Candace – 5 Comments
A fun casual fall accessory, these fingerless gloves have a bit of drape in the arms, allowing you to scrunch them if you choose. They are perfect for a day when the weather is cool and the drinks are hot. The pattern is quite simple, but requires the invisible decrease technique, so advanced beginners may want to give it a try. The gloves are crocheted all in one piece and no sewing is required! crochet slouchable fingerless gloves
