| Here’s a great project for a constant reminder of summer. This cute keychain is easy, quick, and fun to make. It’s a great instant gratification project that will go everywhere you do once it’s finished. |  |
| This super simple project is the perfect purse to keep in your large bag. If you need a few dollars to run in the store, throw on this little crossbody beauty and you’ll have what you need without a backache from carrying a large purse for those quick errands. They also work great for simple gifts and can be stashed away for the holidays. My daughter especially enjoys keeping a few of these little purses handy for her dolls and play money. Whenever we go to town, she has to bring her own pocket purse and be just like mommy! |  |

Have you ever wanted to try tapestry crochet while crocheting in the round? Here’s a neat hot pad pattern to try out! Worked in 2 colors, this pattern creates a unique design. You’ll need a basic knowledge of how to change colors in crochet and how to carry the yarn in your work. For an extra thick and sturdy hot pad, make 2 of the circles and crochet them together when you’re done. |

This versatile piece can be worn a number of ways: a traditional headband, a hippie headband, a sash, a scarflette, a hair tie–the possibilities are endless. Plus, the simple repetitive pattern allows you to make it as long or as short as you wish.

| Organizing stuff has always been one of my weakest points. I just don’t see the problem–if I can stand the “organized clutter” around me, how come other people can’t?
Okay, so admittedly, clutter can be an eyesore. Whip up this quick little canister to store little knickknacks: paper clips, loose change, candies, and what-nots. Thanks to the basketweave stitch, the interesting and textured design gives the canister a unique look (that is actually easy to make). |

| Just can’t get enough of tawashis? I know the feeling all too well. Here’s a tawashi with elements I love: texture, one-piece construction, and spiral work. Another feature I love in tawashis? Practicality. This tawashi makes chores a little easier on your hands, with a pocket-like construction–no need to concentrate on your grip while cleaning! |  |
 |
Texture is made by making stitches in the back loops only (blo) of stitches. The front is worked in a spiral, and the project continues back and forth in rows for the back, to make the pocket. A few chains are made for the loop, and a simple slip stitch border wraps up this handy project. Made with medium weight yarn and size H hook, this project works up fast. |
This crazy ring is for the bold and super fabulous ladies who dare to wear it! Unlike typical chunky fashion rings, this ring is light, soft and fluffy (never thought I’d say that about a ring) since it’s crocheted entirely with size 10 thread. Feel free to crochet this ring with any 2 of your favorite colors.
Finished Size: 1 1/2″ (4 cm) in diameter ruffle, ring size can be adjusted using the instructions within the pattern. |
