This coffee cup sleeve is crocheted seamlessly in the round, like a spiral. It is shaped using 3 different crochet hook sizes to give it a gradual taper. Made with primarily single crochet stitches, this pattern is great for beginners and helps demonstrate the use of tension to create shaping. After the coffee cup sleeve is crocheted, attach a bow made with the candy corn bow pattern for a Halloween theme.

Skip the jacket and throw on this extremely warm and cozy poncho. It’s like walking around wrapped in your favorite blanket. This one poncho pattern can be worn in many different ways. The asymmetrical shape is simple to construct since it is an ordinary rectangle that is folded into the poncho shape. The pattern includes a tutorial for folding and assembling the poncho. The poncho can be adjusted to be any size by using the instructions within the pattern to make it longer or wider as desired.

Add a touch of cuteness to a baby or child’s room with a set of these little elephant curtain tie backs. The elephant is crocheted amigurumi style, then attached to a classic curtain tie back. If you don’t have hooks in the wall to attach the tie back to, feel free to make the tie back longer and simply tie it around the curtain instead.

When we think of autumn our first thought is usually pumpkins and then maybe fallen leaves, scarecrows, etc. But don’t forget apples! Here’s a lovely apple coaster pattern for those apple lovers, as well as those who want a little apple among their pumpkin. These coasters are worked in the round with simple stitches and shaping. The stem is joined in the pattern and the leaf is sewn on afterward.

This coaster pattern can also act as an applique! Enjoy and let me know what you think!

This quick pattern uses good old, double crochet stitches that are worked around a long chain. It’s as plain and simple as it gets to match just about any decor you have. There are loops on each end of the tie back for you to secure it onto hooks. Feel free to adjust the length of the tie back if needed by using the instructions within the pattern. Choose a color that will complement your drapes, or perhaps a bold color to make it pop.

Many crocheters have lots of crochet hooks, but if you’re like me there is one hook that you tend to use the most. It will most likely depend on the type of crochet projects you enjoy making and the thickness of yarn or thread you tend to use.

For me, I use a lot of medium/worsted weight yarn to crochet hats, scarves, home decor items, blankets, and bags. Although that is a wide range of projects, I still tend to have a most used hook and secondary hooks that are a size up or down depending on the tension I want to achieve. My most used crochet hook is a Susan Bates size I (5.50 mm). It’s nothing fancy, just a plain aluminum crochet hook that I bought in a starter set a long time ago.
