Crochet: Purse / Handbag
This bag is the crossbody purse for any occasion. It’s simple, textured but easy to stitch up, and made with a durable cotton to be perfect for all seasons! The strap is easy to adjust for different bodies.
Crochet: Containers
I wanted a simple little shelf that could help me out with kitchen space by moving my collection of tea off of the counter. I realized even in my small kitchen, I had all that unused space underneath the cabinets that I could take advantage of! So I created this “stowaway” hanging shelf that collapses down when I don’t need it but hangs there d...
Crochet: Cowl
This cowl has some serious warmth! The ribbed neck gives you a layer of squishy heat while the accent scallops add some interest and a little bit of flair.
Crochet: Table Runner
Dragonflies are so adorable, and they can add such a feeling of peace and warmth to a home! I wanted to have a little swarm flying across my coffee table, so I worked up a table runner featuring them.
Crochet: Market bag (slouchy)
This hemp yarn makes for a sturdy yet slouchy bag that will be a great beach and farmers’ market accessory all summer long! Constructed as a solid base followed by the open textured body, this bag offers both practicality and style.
Crochet: Containers
I love bobbles, it’s not a secret in the slightest. When swatching ideas, I enjoyed how working in the round (especially with half double crochet) makes bobbles slant to one side and look even more interesting! So I ran with that idea and the result was this sweet little basket.
Crochet: Headband
This is a simple and fun headband pattern with an eye-catching flower, great for gifts or jazzing up any outfit! It’s quick and simple, meaning it won’t take you long before you have one in every color.
Crochet: Legwarmers
I wanted both the comfort and warmth of leg-warmers but the fashion of a cute slouchy boot cuff. So I made this in order to have both! A slim ankle cuff increases to a slouchy leg section to add warmth without constricting the leg, and when you’re indoors you can simply bunch it up around your ankle for a fashionable pop of color and texture!
Crochet: Headband
This gorgeous textured headwrap features a simple construction (two row repeat) that allows you to make whatever size you desire! It works with lighter sport weight yarns or even up to thicker DK, with simple size modifications.
Crochet: Containers
I love bag keepers. They’re so quick and easy, and actually useful on top of that! They tend to stretch out after years of use, and while it’s not hard to replace it with a new one, I wanted to try adding some durability to make them a little more long-lasting. Using a ring at the bottom + a sturdy stitch has yielded great results! I hope you f...
Crochet: Cowl
This cowl is lightweight, soft, comfy, and perfect for spring. It’s worked in the round in one piece so it’s very easy to customize for sizing.
Crochet: Scarf
My goal for this scarf was to have the best of everything--a nice texture, warmth, but a lightweight feel that can be wrapped around the neck without feeling heavy. I feel like I found it with this pattern!
Crochet: Purse / Handbag
This pattern came about because I take a backpack as my “purse” to work most days and I stuff it full of yarn, books, snacks, etc. When it comes to the weekend and running to the grocery store or out on an adventure, I didn’t want to lug around that giant bag. I wanted a light little bag that held my wallet, phone, and a few extras like lip bal...
Crochet: Scarf
This scarf is a lightweight solution for those transition seasons when you don’t want a big bulky scarf…but you still want something that will stay on your neck for a little coverage! It’s light but warm, and the slit ensures it stays still but tucks underneath a jacket as needed.
Crochet: Cowl
This cowl is seriously light and soft and oh-so-comfy. I struggled to balance the intense colors of this yarn in a pattern that kept it simple but still looked fun and interesting. I think I found it in this cute little cowl!
Crochet: Cowl
This cowl, with its adorable butterfly shape, is just warm enough to keep you cozy without heavy bulk hanging around your neck. The strap serves the purpose of gathering some of the height and keeping it out of your way as well as creating a cute little butterfly shape!
Crochet: Headband
This headband is thick, snug, and adorable! What more could you need? It’s full of texture but at the same time quick to whip up. Most of my testers finished it within a day or two, and my first one only took a couple of hours. Great for gifts or holiday markets!
Crochet: Containers
I saw this Maker Outdoor yarn and got a little obsessed with the idea of a basket. Especially one that can stay outside and hopefully withstand the weather! (I only say hopefully because this is all brand new and I haven’t gotten to really test the durability yet, but the yarn seems like it’ll hold up great!)
Crochet: Containers
I wanted to make a bag. Then I realized how cute it would look as a little basket. Turns out I didn’t have to choose! You can have both!
Crochet: Cowl
Do you love all those cute textured cowls, but want something that actually blocks your delicate neck/chest from the harsh winter winds? That’s where this faux-turtleneck cowl comes in!
Crochet: Drawstring Bag
This little treat bag has so many uses! You can give a bag of chocolates to a loved one, or like I discovered, use it to hide a bag of chocolates from a loved one! I had a whole bag of Dove candies in this and my husband had no idea.
Crochet: Beanie, Toque
This is a very warm, dense hat with just the right amount of texture and slouch that looks great on everyone. Plus it uses less than a skein of most worsted weight yarns!
Crochet: Scarf
I was asked to make a sock monkey scarf but just couldn’t find a pattern that really looked like what I was picturing in my head. So I made my own!
