World of Stars Yoga Mat Bag – Crochet Pattern Review

After I had my son last fall, I’ve found that my flexibility is nothing like it used to be before him. And that wasn’t even that great, I’ve never been the most athletic person. I try to take care of my body but I’m not very consistent about exercising. I go through phases of being decent about it but then I get busy at work and fitness just slips into the background. But our workplace now offers free fitness classes during the day, and I have time to sneak in a class once or twice a week. One of them that I’m really enjoying has been yoga! I wanted to invest a little bit in doing it myself so I bought a decent mat for myself, and of course I had to make my own bag to carry it.

Crocheted Dill Pickle Pattern Review

The Knotty Li’l Dill is a versatile pattern that can be used to make a cute little pickle. The pattern not only comes with printable materials for gifting and selling, but it also includes several different methods for finishing the pattern. You can make a regular pickle, a cucumber, or a pickle/cucumber with arms to hold a cute little sign. There are also directions to make a cute face on your pickle if you opt to make a pickle pal rather than just a plain pickle.

Mini Manatee – Crochet Pattern Review

The Mini Manatee pattern by Crafty Kat Shop is a really low-sew crochet pattern that works up quickly and can be made in a variety of different sizes and weights of yarn. The pattern features an extensive amount of details to help you make an adorable finished product. I am really excited about adding these finished manatees to my summer market inventory, and I think they are going to be a big hit!

Florina the Flower Fidget – Crochet Pattern Review

The Florina the Flower Fidget by Hooks and Whisks is a no-sew pattern that makes a daisy-like flower with petals that “pop” in and out like the popular fidget toys that are sold in stores. This pattern works up really quickly and uses limited supplies, which makes it perfect for market-prepping or last-minute gifts. These flowers would also be great for gifts for teachers with Teacher Appreciation Week right around the corner! I highly recommend you try out this adorable pattern!

Pacific Disc Stingray – Crochet Pattern Review

I have no good reason for making this stingray other than it is adorable! I was perusing Etsy for some new patterns when this little creature popped up on my feed and I was instantly in love! His big eyes, his squishy body and his tiny smile stole my heart and I had to make one of my own…which was then promptly confiscated by my daughter for the same irresistible reasons. Even the dog wanted him for herself!

Large Divided Dice Bag – Crochet Pattern Review

This is a very creative pattern! I appreciated the techniques used in this pattern like how to get a nice even circle without awkward corners. If you’re worried about a lot of sewing, it really isn’t as bad as it looks! You join most of the pieces together with crochet, instead of sewing with your needle. I also like that it has a fun texture on the sides of the main bag as well.

Snow the Duck – Crochet Pattern Review

The Snow the Duck pattern is a relatively easy, almost no-sew pattern that works up quickly. It can be made with varying weights of yarn for differing sizes of ducks, and the finished product is absolutely adorable. The pattern features an optional headband that raises the level of cuteness for this little squishy duck to new levels. If you are in spring market-prep mode or just want to make one of these for a duck-lover that you know, I would highly recommend you try out this pattern.

Bobble Pop Fidget Toy – Crochet Pattern Review

Fidget toys are nothing new. But when I came across this, I was drawn to it for a couple specific reasons: when the bobbles “pop” it is quiet. I know that the satisfying popping sound can be part of the allure to the traditional toys. But when the kids (or grown-ups, if we are being honest) need something to tinker with but sound isn’t appropriate, this is an excellent alternative. I also like that it has a different texture than smooth silicone. It’s still soft yet coarse; great for those with sensory-seeking needs.
