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.

Dafne Granny Stripe Bag – Crochet Pattern Review
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!
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.

Easy and Feminine Scrunchie – Crochet Pattern Review
This scrunchie was so fast and easy to make! The pattern is well written, and it even includes a link to the video for it. I want to make a bunch in all kinds of colors! I think they would make great little gifts (or stocking stuffers for the upcoming Christmas season!) or even a way to customize matching your hairpieces to an outfit. Scrunchies have definitely made a comeback so don’t fight it and whip up a few of these yourself!
Juniper Festival Crossbody Bum Bag – Crochet Pattern Review
This crochet pattern is one I would very strongly recommend. It was easy to make, it doesn’t use too much yarn so it’s affordable, and it gives you a very useful and super cute accessory at the end. I plan to use this adorable little bag a lot this coming summer! It’s not huge so it won’t weigh you down, but it has the space for the basics like a wallet and phone.

This bag is worked using a simple single crochet stitch worked into the back loop to create this fun, ribbed pattern paired with a trendy color block pattern. It’s finished with a snap button, but an alternative to this would be to leave off the flap, crochet a chain loop instead, and sewing on a respective sized button.
