Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on February 14th, 2011 by Rachel Choi – 14 Comments

Add some flare to your outfit with this striped poncho! Ponchos are extra roomy and super comfortable to wear while adding a fun style to your wardrobe. It’s like having your favorite blanket wrapped around you all day, but having it be much more fashionable acceptable. This pattern features a series of netted stripes which creates an easy drape and keeps the poncho from being too hot and heavy. The roominess on the poncho allows for it to fit most adult women from extra skinny to extra large. Crocheted in one piece, no sewing is required for this pattern!

Crochet Pattern: Basketweave Pillow Cover

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on February 6th, 2011 by Erin Burger – 5 Comments

This pattern is for a throw pillow cover that will fit a 12″ x 12″ pillow, which is a common throw pillow size. You can either purchase a bare pillow and cover it with the pillow cover you make from this pattern or stuff the cover yourself with fiberfill or your chosen stuffing.

The pictured pillow in the pattern features one color but since the back of your work isn’t going to be seen (it will be facing the inside of the pillow) you could use multiple colors without breaking off at the end of each row. Fancy this pillow cover up with three loud and large buttons, or if you would like to make a more understated cover use flat, monochrome buttons instead.

Crochet Pattern: Round Heirloom Blanket

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on January 15th, 2011 by Erin Burger – 7 Comments
There is nothing better than a handmade gift, especially one that has a classic look to it that could be passed down easily from generation to generation. This round blanket is smaller in size; perfect for a baby blanket, excellent for car trips because of it’s extra thickness or as a lap blanket for cozy winter nights spent crocheting under a cabled blanket!

In this round blanket BPDC and FPDC (Front and Back Post Stitches) are the key to successfully crocheting a classic and timeless piece. If you are not familiar with these stitches, check them out in the link above and then practice them with this beginner’s cabling pattern: Cabled Headband.

The pictured afghan is made in 100% peruvian wool, but the pattern can be made in any type of yarn. The gauge and finished size is for sport weight yarn, but if you decide to use a heavier weight yarn (which will make thicker cables) please check your gauge for an accurate and excellent finished project!
