I’ve had my eye on this cardigan from For the Frills for a little while. I loved the look of the stitch texture, although I assumed it was standard waffle stitch (more on that later) so I thought it would be pretty heavy and would take a while to stitch up… I took a look at my Ravelry favorites page factoring in the yardage I had, and I was excited to see this sweater pattern should work with what I had!

Rowyn Tote Bag – Crochet Pattern Review
So I set a plan in my head to make a nice tote bag for the two of us specifically to use for the library. That way I can put our books in there when we’re done reading them and they’ll (hopefully) be easier to find when we’re ready to go back for the next round. I’ve had it for a couple of weeks and it’s been helpful so far! This is the pattern I chose because it was the perfect combination of practical and adorable, my favorite sort of thing.
English Crochet Ear Warmer – Crochet Pattern Review
What else does winter call for? Cold weather accessories: hats, gloves, scarves, etc. My daughter doesn’t particularly enjoy having to wear a hat when it is chilly outside but that doesn’t stop her from complaining about the temperature. Ear warmers are the perfect compromise. She keeps her ears warm without having to wear a full hat.
Granny Pop Cardigan – Crochet Pattern Review
I was very satisfied with this pattern. Granny stitch can be nice for garment patterns since you get into a rhythm and you can just keep stitching away! This is written as a top-down sweater where you make a yoke and work until your desired size, which makes it feel like it goes fast too. You then work straight rows for a while to get length, and boom! You have a cardigan.
Athabasca Pullover – Crochet Pattern Review
You can never go wrong with something classic like a raglan pullover. I had this pattern from MJ’s Off the Hook Crochet on my favorites list for a little while, and I was waiting for the right yarn. She used Mandala Ombre, which I do love, but I wanted to mix it up a little bit… and then I found the one! A gorgeous watercolor-inspired (in my opinion) colorway with a simple raglan to let the colors be the star? Perfect!
Dafne Granny Stripe Bag – Crochet Pattern Review
I’m a sucker for a good bag. Open and meshy, dense and sturdy, one color or a rainbow-full, doesn’t matter to me. I love them all. They can hold anything from a phone and keys up to a craft market full of goodies! I love them in all shapes and sizes so, it’s no wonder that the Dafne Granny Stripe bag caught my eye when I was scrolling Ravelry, and then it jumped out from my favorites list when I looked for my next project for this summer. I found this pattern a lot of fun to work up. It’s a repetitive stitch but with this gorgeous yarn it has a wonderful crisp definition and it’s a spin on the basic stitch. You can make it in an endless combination of colors (one of my favorite things about a pattern), and it uses simple stitches in super creative ways. I truly recommend checking it out, if you want a fashionable and practical bag that you certainly can’t find on the shelves in a store!
Sunflower Scrunchie – Crochet Pattern Review
My sister-in-law sends me crochet inspiration from time to time and this sunflower scrunchie was the latest one she sent. Once I saw it, I knew I needed to make it for my daughter. It is so simple but adds such a cute touch to updos. I love the pop of color along with the flash of fun that it brings to an otherwise normal bun.
Bucket Bag – Crochet Pattern Review
The majority of this bag is a simple single crochet, so it makes it an easy process when you get going. Once you finish the increases, there’s barely any counting either so it’s great to go with a good show or movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this project! I hope to bring it on my family adventures, like when I took these pictures at a local cider mill.
Easy Granny Hexagon Cardigan – Crochet Pattern Review
I chose this pattern in particular because it was very basic and straightforward, plus it adds a really cute scalloped edge that I actually ended up skipping for my own version. I liked the look and wanted to do it, but then in the end my cardigan has a lot of color and I just thought adding that extra texture would push it a little over the edge. This pattern was very easy, and I’m grateful for that. Sometimes you need a nice simple repetitive pattern in an old familiar stitch! Granny stitch always comes in handy when you want a project that works up quickly and isn’t too heavy or stiff. It gives a good drape for wearables and is warm without being stifling.
Colour Block Granny Scarf – Crochet Pattern Review
This is a very simple pattern based on a very popular stitch. And yet it’s still something I hadn’t personally seen before, and I don’t remember ever working a chevron pattern in granny stitches before! It’s always fun even after a decade in this hobby to find something new to try. It’s simple to work up once you get the technique down, and provides a lot of practice if granny stitch is something you need to work on. It can be a carefully coordinated and planned color-block project, or a stash-buster like mine where you find out what your next color is when you get there! And the finished item is warm and snuggly and will keep me cozy for years to come.
