Midnight Waffle Cardigan – Crochet Pattern Review

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!

Football Pillow- Crochet Pattern Review

If you or someone you know is a football fan, I definitely recommend you try out this cute Football Pillow pattern by Snappy Tots. It works up really quickly and easily, and the pattern is pretty beginner-friendly. The details match a real football so well. You can make a bunch in all different sizes to decorate for your Superbowl party, to give as gifts, or sell at markets.

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!

Rustic Pumpkin Garland – Crochet Pattern Review

Pumpkins are, of course, the unofficial mascot for fall so I had to kick off the crochet season with them. I have already done traditional, stand alone pumpkins and I love to decorate my fireplace area with fall decor. When I saw this pumpkin garland, I knew this was the piece that my mantle was missing. I went through and made the garland but you could make just the cute little pumpkins and use them as decor, fill a basket or bowl with them, line your window sills…the list goes on.

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.

Pencil Gift Pocket – Crochet Pattern Review

This pencil gift pocket is so cute and just perfect for stuffing with gift cards or small goodies like Chapstick, hand sanitizer or chocolates. It is so simple to make but the impact is spot-on. Plus, it’s reusable!

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.
