Waffle Washcloth – Crochet Pattern Review

April 16, 2025

The Waffle Washcloth pattern by Spotted Horse Design Co. worked beautifully for my needs. It used less than a full skein, even though I made mine slightly larger than the pattern. It was incredibly easy to stitch up and even easy to memorize so I could zone out with a Youtube video in the background and whip out a cloth without much thought!

Midnight Waffle Cardigan – Crochet Pattern Review

March 12, 2025

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

January 15, 2025

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.

Cozy Cottage Cable Stocking – Crochet Pattern Review

December 11, 2024

If you’re thinking some stockings would be adorable to hang up for your family and you just can’t find the right one or you don’t like the ones on the shelves at the big box stores, this pattern is perfect for you! It’s a gorgeously textured stocking that looks so plush and lovely, and can hold a decent amount of small treasures. It’s written in two sizes but both are a good size in my opinion. Just depends on the space you have to decorate or the number of goodies you want to put inside! And although it looks intricate, the actual project is a fairly approachable four-row repeat that’s not too difficult once you get some practice in.

Granny Pop Cardigan – Crochet Pattern Review

November 19, 2024

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

September 11, 2024

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

August 17, 2024

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!

World of Stars Yoga Mat Bag – Crochet Pattern Review

July 10, 2024

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.

Bucket Bag – Crochet Pattern Review

June 12, 2024

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.
