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.
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.
