  • Crocheted Shell Stitch Hanger Cover

    Yippee, at long last I tried my hand at crocheting a hanger cover! Not just any cover of course, but a wonderful shell stitch cover that fits over a vintage wooden hanger that was really a breeze to whip up! I'm in love with this pattern, the only problem is I only have one other…

  • Crocheted Rag Bag From Sheets

    Crocheting with sheets is just so much fun, that while I'm actually in the middle of crocheting a rag rug I just couldn't resist going off on a little tangent and crocheting my first ever crocheted tote bag from sheets and pillowcases. I have to say, I'm thrilled with how it turned out, and for…

  • Crocheted Rag Rug From Sheets —A Chunky Oval Experiment

    This oval crocheted rag rug is an experiment dear readers, not something particularly lovely that I'm proud to share with you, but rather a little test done with some sheets from the bottom of the stash that I couldn't see myself using for anything. So a little chunky bathmat was born and I've got some…

  • Crocheted Rag Rug From Sheets In Progress!

    At long last we're back into the crafting, and a crocheted rag rug is in the works! I always find that after a creativity/craft free hiatus, the first thing I always grab is a crochet hook, (in this case a 9mm hook) especially a chunky one that will help me make something fast! So those…

    A crocheted ribbed cowl is the perfect little accessory to keep you warm on a cool Spring morning, plus it's great for men and women and is a perfect gift to whip up in just a few hours. I love the fact that you can wear it so many ways, and of course make it…

  • How To Make Yarn From Sheets

    Making yarn from old sheets is a great way to up-cycle something you might otherwise toss, and it turns out that knitting and crocheting with sheets is really so satisfying. So I have to admit, I really need to be cleaning for Passover right now, but when I eyed that bag of sheets my neighbor…

  • Crocheted Spiral Placemat

    A crocheted spiral placemat is a cheerful addition to any table, and while you're at it, a crocheted spiral pillow could be really great too! Now I must tell you, this placemat actually started out as one side of a large crocheted lollipop that I had then planned to turn into a pillow once Purim…

  • Crocheted Crocodile Stitch Eagle Hat For Purim!

    The crocheted crocodile stitch is perfect for making costumes, and it occurred to me that it would be the perfect stitch to make a hat for my six year old who is dressing up as an eagle this Purim. A little ambitious maybe, since I'd never actually tried the crocodile stitch, so I played it…

  • Crocheted Curls For Purim!

    I know, these probably look more like crocheted rose buds to you, but no my friends, for Purim this year they are most definitely crocheted curls! With Purim a little less than three weeks off, and a packed schedule on top of that, I figured I’d better get started on the costumes a bit early…

  • Crocheted Chunky Lacy Quick Scarf

    Looking for a quick chunky scarf to whip up? Something a little lacy with a bit of texture that you can crochet at the speed of light? This is it! And actually after looking at one crocheted cowl after another, a long scarf actually looks great!

  • Crochet Rib Stitch Simplified

    Crocheting a rib stitch won't get you ribbing exactly like a knit rib, but it is possible to come close. Or, if you're looking for a way to add some texture to say a basic scarf or cowl or even a little baby blanket, then I'd recommend making a double crochet rib that looks like…

      Crocheted ear warmers are quick to make and look great. A fun winter accessory that you can whip up as a great gift or make a bunch for the family. And of course, topped with a giant crocheted flower, your crocheted ear warmer is just irresistible!
