I love how easily the Shawn the Shark pattern worked up! I decided to go rogue and make mine in super bulky yarn, and it turned out so big and cuddly! It really drew a ton of attention at my last market and sold within the first few hours. I am already working on making more of these sharks for my upcoming fall markets.

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!
Waffle Washcloth – Crochet Pattern Review
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!

Midnight Waffle Cardigan – Crochet Pattern Review
I’ve had my eye on this cardigan from For the Frills for a little while. I loved the look of the stitch texture, although I assumed it was standard waffle stitch (more on that later) so I thought it would be pretty heavy and would take a while to stitch up… I took a look at my Ravelry favorites page factoring in the yardage I had, and I was excited to see this sweater pattern should work with what I had!
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!
Rowyn Tote Bag – Crochet Pattern Review
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.
