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!

Anchor the Octopus – Crochet Pattern Review
If you are looking for a great, realistic octopus pattern, the Anchor the Octopus (or Mini Anchor the Octopus) are for you! Both patterns are intermediate patterns that work up faster than you would expect for their size. The finished octopi are so cute and squishy when finished. I highly recommend you try one (or both) of these patterns out!
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.
Crocheted Dill Pickle Pattern Review
The Knotty Li’l Dill is a versatile pattern that can be used to make a cute little pickle. The pattern not only comes with printable materials for gifting and selling, but it also includes several different methods for finishing the pattern. You can make a regular pickle, a cucumber, or a pickle/cucumber with arms to hold a cute little sign. There are also directions to make a cute face on your pickle if you opt to make a pickle pal rather than just a plain pickle.
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.
Mini Manatee – Crochet Pattern Review
The Mini Manatee pattern by Crafty Kat Shop is a really low-sew crochet pattern that works up quickly and can be made in a variety of different sizes and weights of yarn. The pattern features an extensive amount of details to help you make an adorable finished product. I am really excited about adding these finished manatees to my summer market inventory, and I think they are going to be a big hit!
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.
Florina the Flower Fidget – Crochet Pattern Review
The Florina the Flower Fidget by Hooks and Whisks is a no-sew pattern that makes a daisy-like flower with petals that “pop” in and out like the popular fidget toys that are sold in stores. This pattern works up really quickly and uses limited supplies, which makes it perfect for market-prepping or last-minute gifts. These flowers would also be great for gifts for teachers with Teacher Appreciation Week right around the corner! I highly recommend you try out this adorable pattern!
