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 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.

Pacific Disc Stingray – Crochet Pattern Review

I have no good reason for making this stingray other than it is adorable! I was perusing Etsy for some new patterns when this little creature popped up on my feed and I was instantly in love! His big eyes, his squishy body and his tiny smile stole my heart and I had to make one of my own…which was then promptly confiscated by my daughter for the same irresistible reasons. Even the dog wanted him for herself!

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.

Snow the Duck – Crochet Pattern Review

The Snow the Duck pattern is a relatively easy, almost no-sew pattern that works up quickly. It can be made with varying weights of yarn for differing sizes of ducks, and the finished product is absolutely adorable. The pattern features an optional headband that raises the level of cuteness for this little squishy duck to new levels. If you are in spring market-prep mode or just want to make one of these for a duck-lover that you know, I would highly recommend you try out this pattern.

Bobble Pop Fidget Toy – Crochet Pattern Review

Fidget toys are nothing new. But when I came across this, I was drawn to it for a couple specific reasons: when the bobbles “pop” it is quiet. I know that the satisfying popping sound can be part of the allure to the traditional toys. But when the kids (or grown-ups, if we are being honest) need something to tinker with but sound isn’t appropriate, this is an excellent alternative. I also like that it has a different texture than smooth silicone. It’s still soft yet coarse; great for those with sensory-seeking needs.

Colour Block Granny Scarf – Crochet Pattern Review

This is a very simple pattern based on a very popular stitch. And yet it’s still something I hadn’t personally seen before, and I don’t remember ever working a chevron pattern in granny stitches before! It’s always fun even after a decade in this hobby to find something new to try. It’s simple to work up once you get the technique down, and provides a lot of practice if granny stitch is something you need to work on. It can be a carefully coordinated and planned color-block project, or a stash-buster like mine where you find out what your next color is when you get there! And the finished item is warm and snuggly and will keep me cozy for years to come.

Bunny Bonnet – Crochet Pattern Review

This hat is a very fun and simple pattern. If you’re looking for a cute Easter or spring gift for a little one in your life, this is a wonderful choice. The hat I made fits my son great, looks super adorable, and fit him for several weeks which makes it one of the most cost-effective things he owns as a baby. They grow out of things far too quickly, don’t they?

Snowy Pal – Crochet Pattern Review

I had been on the lookout for a cute snowman pattern for quite some time, so when I was given the amazing chance to be a tester for Mel’s Crocheted Creations’ Snowy Pal, I was so excited! This pattern works up quickly, and because of some perfectly positioned stitches, it is entirely no sew. If that isn’t enough to win you over, this pattern is also very customizable! The pattern includes two different types of arms, a scarf pattern, and two different hat patterns.
