This beautiful but simple crochet dining set is perfect for any style home! Keep it minimal and modern, or add tassels to make it more boho. Choose a solid color, or source some unique hand-dyed yarn for a one-of-a-kind look. I fell in love with the Trinity Stitch the first time I saw it, and I know you will too. I find it much easier and less ...

This cushy, plush portable play mat is also a drawstring bag that totes baby’s toys! With the ease of a drawstring, setup and clean up are a breeze. Just pile everything on, pull the string and tie. If you would prefer a flat mat with no drawstring - those instructions are also included. I used a washable/dryable yarn so that it would be baby f...

This colorblock drawstring bag is perfect for toting your things, including makeup or small toys. With the easy open and shut of a drawstring, and the lay flat capability, unloading and clean up are a breeze! I lined mine with waterproof fabric for travel, and it’s super easy to clean. Just pile everything on, pull the cord and away you go.

This ear warmer is the second in a collection of patterns inspired by my button jar and simple stitches. The stitch pattern name is a bit of a mystery (I’ve heard it called lemon peel, griddle stitch, AND seed stitch), but I have used it on many different projects over the years. My Button Jar Cowl is made with the same construction and stitch ...

If you’ve been searching for the perfect crochet gift item, this washcloth fits the bill! I made several sets for gifting and have used them myself - they are truly wonderful. The border gives the dishcloth the structure it needs to keep its shape better than other knit and crochet cloths.

This cozy cowl makes the most of your button jar (or someone else’s)! Choosing yarn and complimentary buttons is a great place for your personality to shine. This is a new and updated version from a cowl I made years and years ago before I learned to read a pattern. It only takes about one skein of a soft worsted weight yarn so it’s economical ...

This large crochet tote bag is perfect for library books, day trips, and outings with the kids! This pattern is great for the intermediate crocheter or a very ambitious advanced beginner. It’s very roomy at 16.5” x 16.5” and almost 30” tall with the straps. The extended single crochet gives it that pretty look, with the sustainableJust Hemp len...

This headband was an idea that I had kicked around in my head for a while but wasn’t sure what form the construction should take. I pictured using it to hold my hair back while indulging in a mud mask or other facial treatment and I also have worn it many days while out running around. I have really fine hair and it doesn’t slip or slide around...

This next installment in the Joanna collection seemed really obvious - how do you exfoliate hard-to-reach areas? Voila, a back scrubber with handles! It pairs really nicely as a gift set with my exfoliating mitt and soap saver. The hemp fiber gets softer with use and washing. The extended single crochet gives it that pretty look, with the susta...

Cozy, welcoming, comfortable. These words can help us understand hygge, the Danish and Norwegian feeling attached to certain aesthetics and textures. In this pattern, I have paired nice thick, cushiony yarn with a well-defined stitch and hope it brings you warm feelings. For yarn choice, I love Wool-Ease Thick & Quick, Re-Spun Thick & Q...

This lovely soap sleeve is fully customizable to the size of your soap bar. The soap sleeve can be used to exfoliate in the shower or it makes a pretty gift bag for a boutique soap too. This would also be a great project for craft fairs or markets. The extended single crochet gives it that delicate look, but the yarn is sturdy and sustainable w...

This book and Bible cover is so special to me. I created it out of a desire to protect my purse-size Bible, which had a cover that was slowly peeling off. I wanted to keep using it because it was a gift from my family on Mother’s Day about 10 years ago.

This beautiful throw blanket is a passion project, something I put my whole heart into. It’s soft and cozy, has a wonderful texture, and almost feels like a weighted blanket. It has a perfect drape from the extended single crochet and chain stitch pattern. The Hue + Me yarn is a great choice because it’s a wool blend but it’s also machine washa...

This Kindle or Nook cover is simple, but also pretty. I love the minimalist design and universal appeal. You can customize the style with your choice of button or toggle. This sleeve can be made in any size if you have the measurements of the device you want to make it for. If you aren’t familiar with linked double crochet, the tight weave is u...

With our damp and cold air here in the Pacific Northwest, warm cowls come in really handy! I tested this one out during a windstorm and it performed with flying colors. The child size took me less than an hour from start to finish so this cowl will be a good gifting or market item as well. Customize to your heart’s content - get the height and ...

This hemp spa mitt has been through a ton of R & D and this version is the keeper! I love using it to exfoliate my legs before shaving, or just to make my skin super soft. It’s customizable for a perfect fit on your wrist. The soap saver would make an awesome gift bag for a pretty soap. The extended single crochet is one of my favorite stit...

This is a sweet sister pattern to my Meredith Festival Bag, a purse with compartments. The same delicate picot edging and Herringbone Half Double Crochet are used on both patterns, but this one is more compact. It also features an optional cash/ID pocket that is attached to the back wall to keep those small items handy and secure. It should fit...
