As part of the Fun and Fruity Crafting Event hosted by Yarn Crafts and Coffee, I worked up some of the fruit-themed turtle shells, and I love how cute this pattern has worked up! The turtle on its own is a nice size that makes a perfect toy, and the interchangeable shells are absolutely adorable. I can’t wait to make the rest of the shell patterns and try out the whole collection!

Boom the Firecracker – Crochet Pattern Review
The Boom the Firecracker pattern is a super easy, quick make that is perfect for your patriotic decor, summer parties, and crochet markets. You can almost make two of these in under an hour, and they are super bright and happy. The realistic nature of the design, mixed with the plushness of the yarn, makes them versatile, so they can be used as decor or a stuffed toy. I definitely recommend trying out this pattern to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday!
No-Sew Pencil – Crochet Pattern Review
Even though I’ve been teaching for 12 years, it’s still hard to pass up a cute teacher-themed item when I see one! When I saw the adorable No-Sew Pencil pattern by Emily of Knots Merry Yarn, I knew I had to get it and make it! As a bonus, Emily is another teacher, so it was awesome to support a fellow teacher when purchasing this pattern from her!
Marjorie Goose – Crochet Pattern Review
Like all of the patterns by Jocelyn of Oak and Marlow, the Marjorie Goose pattern does not disappoint! It is well-written with clear directions, easy-to-follow photo explanations and video tutorials, and customization options. You can dress up the goose with the included bonnet pattern that can be made two different ways or the included bow pattern.
Santa Turtle – Crochet Pattern Review
While checking out some cute crochet Christmas patterns, I fell in love with the Santa Turtle by Happy Turtle Crochet. After making the Sunflower Turtle pattern, I was already familiar with the designer and knew it would be a well-written pattern. This cutie worked up so quickly and is incredibly adorable! My friends and family all agree that everyone needs a Santa Turtle in their lives this holiday season!
Mini Kitty – Crochet Pattern Review
The Mini Kitty pattern by Crafty Kat is a super easy, super quick, no-sew pattern! I love how you can easily make tons of different kitties just by changing up the color of your yarn. While you can add color changes to this pattern, they still look fantastic all in one color, which makes them super easy for market prep! While such a simple pattern, they have so much personality. I’m already working on making a ton more for my upcoming craft shows!

No-Sew Axolotl – Crochet Pattern Review
When I found Stitch by Fay’s No-Sew Axolotl pattern, I knew immediately that it would be perfect! Not only does it use exactly the right colors of yarn, but it is super adorable! I had the wonderful opportunity to see a real-life axolotl that was a classroom pet at the school I used to teach at, and I have to say that this pattern looks pretty realistic too! I’m super impressed by how easily the pattern works up, and I can’t wait to make these little cuties on repeat for my upcoming markets!
Duckzilla – Crochet Pattern Review
While the Duckzilla pattern takes some time to work up because it’s so big, it was 100% worth it! My niece is absolutely in love with this giant duck! In addition to being an adorable addition to her room, she is able to use it as a bean bag-style chair! She’s a pretty tall 12-year-old and has plenty of room to relax and crochet while leaning on the duck. If you know someone that loves ducks, or if you just want to make a giant duck for fun, I definitely recommend this pattern!
Football Pillow- Crochet Pattern Review
If you or someone you know is a football fan, I definitely recommend you try out this cute Football Pillow pattern by Snappy Tots. It works up really quickly and easily, and the pattern is pretty beginner-friendly. The details match a real football so well. You can make a bunch in all different sizes to decorate for your Superbowl party, to give as gifts, or sell at markets.
