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!

Cozy Cottage Cable Stocking – Crochet Pattern Review
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
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!

World of Stars Yoga Mat Bag – Crochet Pattern Review
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
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.
Large Divided Dice Bag – Crochet Pattern Review
This is a very creative pattern! I appreciated the techniques used in this pattern like how to get a nice even circle without awkward corners. If you’re worried about a lot of sewing, it really isn’t as bad as it looks! You join most of the pieces together with crochet, instead of sewing with your needle. I also like that it has a fun texture on the sides of the main bag as well.
EZ Breezy Summer Hoody – Crochet Pattern Review
This hoodie is a very nice spring and summer piece. The concept of a short-sleeved hooded layer can come off a little weird if it’s not done well, but the silhouette of this one pulls it off perfectly. It looks casual and chic and comfortable, and I knew I had to have one. This piece has a very simple construction and I appreciate that. This construction lets you make it to fit your own size and shape, and allows for customization in both length and width so it will fit just the way you want depending on your personal style!
