| This crocheted washcloth is a great project for beginners. You will master double crochet and single crochet and end up with a practical gift! These can be crocheted so fast! You are sure to enjoy the feeling of instant gratification! I want to make up several washcloths for my gift box. I like to work up easy projects that are great for gifting. You just never know when you might need a little something for someone you love. This takes all the stress out of making last-minute projects. Make up a set of washcloths and tie them together with a pretty ribbon and gift tag. |  |
| An ascot is the perfect way to transition from winter to spring, especially when it’s made in fun colors. This ascot is a parallelogram crocheted from corner to corner. The shaping may be a little difficult for beginners to understand. Be sure to read the pattern instructions carefully. |  |
| While out shopping I’ve noticed that crocheted accessories are all the rage. So, this week’s crochet pattern is for a white and pink tinged carnation. There are so many uses for this project. You could make several and chain or slip stitch them together to create a sweet, spring accent scarf. You could also make two and attach hair bands for your daughter’s pigtails. Sew a piece of felt and a pin back onto the flower to wear on your jacket. Why not whip up a few to dress up some headbands. They are a perfect handmade alternative to bows for gifting too! |  |
| Hold your change or just the bare necessities in this wrist bag when you’re out around town. It’s big enough to hold money, a phone, and maybe some makeup.
The bag has a simple crossed pattern in the center of both sides. The strap on this bag is wider than usual and has the same crossed pattern as the bag. |

| Need a lucky charm? Maybe this four-leaf clover will do it for you. You can use it as an applique or pin it to an outfit, for a fortune boost even if the only lucky thing that happens is not getting pinched. Have fun crocheting this cute, little shamrock! |  |
| I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream! Who can resist a frosty scoop of homemade strawberry ice cream atop a crispy, crunchy ice cream cone? Sounds pretty good to me right about now. This sweet project whips up in no time and can be used so many ways. You can sew this fat-free cone on a little girl’s dress or a baby’s blanket. You could stitch two together to make a little pouch for candies. Make several and sew them together to make a darling light scarf. You can also switch up the flavor appeal by changing the colors of the cones crowing glory. |  |
| There is a bakery near where I am whiling the winter away in northern California that sells a myriad of macaroons. They are so beautiful in shades of mint green, pink and chocolate. Each one gracefully rests upon the other encased in apothecary jars. I love to stop at the bakery and just admire every little detail they add to their baked goods. So, for those of you who are tempted by macaroons like I am, here’s a crochet pattern just for you. Your kids are sure to love them almost as much as the real thing. |  |
| This big bow is a great first pattern for new crocheters. It’s versatile and can be used on a barrette, on a hat, to wrap a present, or whatever you want to put a bow on. Before you know it, you can have a pile of these to use now or save to put on another project. |  |
| This bowl makes an interesting piece for the coffee table when you put your favorite things in it. Use it to hold candies or to show off your latest works in progress.
For extra fun, you can try crocheting it in wool and felting it for an even tighter fabric and smaller bowl. |
