Ulla Top – Crochet Pattern Review

This top can be dressed up or down, and would be perfect for any occasion. It’s warm and comfy, and more lightweight than it might look. This pattern is so simple and yet very rewarding. You get into a rhythm working up the rows, and then before you know it you’re finished! It was a joy from start to finish and I recommend it for yourself or as a nice gift.

Poofy Skirt – Crochet Pattern Review

This designer did an amazing job! There’s so much potential in this pattern. I especially like that it’s completely customizable! I had zero issues with the pattern, and now I want to make 10 more with different colors and yarn choices! I highly recommend it.

Tie Front Top – Crochet Pattern Review

My overall thoughts on this pattern are pure joy. It was fun to work up, easy to understand, and very simple to modify to my gauge and my body. The tie idea is creative and definitely something I’ve seen in store-bought tops, but I never would have considered emulating that in crochet! DK yarn was a great choice, and this top feels like a cloud. I am going to rock this thing with some cute summer outfits!

Kiki Pillow – Crochet Pattern Review

The Mare Knot Pillow – Crochet Pattern Review

This knot pillow has been on my list for a long time. It looks very different from a basic square couch pillow, and fun to squish. It’s creative and interesting, but also chic and classy! Fair warning, the stitching is easy, but it takes a very long time.

Learn A Stitch Dishcloths + Annie’s Hook & Needle Kit Club

When I began this project I was not actually a member BUT (spoilers), I have since signed up because this was super fun. I was sent this kit from a friend who just didn’t plan to do this one themselves and wanted to see if I was interested in trying it out and reviewing it. I decided to use this as a test of sorts, to see if I would consider this a worthwhile kit if I had paid the monthly fee. If I liked it, I planned to sign up for real. And I just did! Come check out my review in more detail.

Geneva Sweater Dress – Crochet Pattern Review

Simple. That’s the best way to describe this pattern. I’ll warn you, it is slip stitch. But don’t run away screaming just yet! I agree, I am not a slip stitch fan either. But the main dress is actually a modified version that goes much quicker and has more stretch to it.

Fair Isle Gansey Cowl – Crochet Pattern Review

This cowl has so much surface area that it easily covers your neck and would even cover an open neckline of a shirt. It would be great for spring or fall, as well as for relatively mild winter days. And I know this pattern looks complicated, but trust me that the actual stitches are simple!
