Previously we discussed the best and worst yarn brands. Now let’s talk about the best and worst crochet hooks. Choosing a crochet hook brand can be as easy as buying whatever is on sale, or as difficult as testing them all out to see what doesn’t hurt your hand or snag and split your yarn. What is your favorite crochet hook brand? Do you prefer metal, plastic, bamboo, or wood crochet hooks? Are there crochet hooks that you refuse to use?

Here is a cowl with the cozy, fashionable look of chunky yarn but without the uncomfortable bulk that often accompanies it. Designed with a high and a low end, this cowl fits just right around the neck. The high end is tall enough to be worn like a hood, while the low end sits comfortably under the chin. Rotate the cowl and wear the high end in the front and the low end in the back to create a nicely draped, classic cowl but without the bunching in the back.

It’s always a good idea to keep extra rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom, especially when you have guests over. Crochet this cute snowman to cover up a couple of rolls and sit him on the counter or on the back of the toilet. The snowman holds 2 rolls, and when you remove a roll the snowman shrinks/melts and becomes shorter! You can easily adjust the height of the snowman to hold more or less rolls by using the instructions within the pattern.
