Looking for a project with bold color? I’ve long been inspired by Mexican blankets with their bold color and geometric prints, and finally I found a chance to incorporate this beauty into a project with my Southwestern Cinch Cowl.

Worked with 6 different medium weight yarns, this cowl is also an excellent stash buster. It is crocheted with alternating rows of single crochet and single crochet puff stitch, an easy and fun transition with a gentle twist of texture.

It only takes a few hours to make so go ahead and grab some colors from your yarn stash and give it a try!

Now 30% OFF in the Crochet Spot Store, this hat is designed for the messy buns and the high ponytails. No need to squish your hair when you wear hats, let it stick out the top. Each hat size is crocheted with an elastic opening so that it stretches easily over the hair and doesn’t leave a large gap between hair and hat. A tutorial for crocheting with the elastic is included. This pattern comes in 5 sizes, ranging from baby (if they’re blessed with lots of hair!) to adults, so that everyone in the family can have one!

Impress your guests this Thanksgiving by crocheting a few decorations for the table. In this post, I rounded up my favorite fall decorations, placemats, and the works! Crochet a small project if you’re pressed for time, or crochet an entire set of placemats if you’re feeling ambitious.

No sewing is required for this pattern. The blanket is crocheted in the round from the bottom up using an easy shell stitch pattern.

There’s no need to stop by the store to buy a Halloween costume when you can make your own! Whether it’s a wacky hat or fun accessory, there is always something you can crochet to create your DIY Halloween costume. In this post, I rounded up a few crochet patterns to give you ideas. Some are Halloween specific patterns while others are everyday patterns that can be used for Halloween.

It is officially Autumn and I am just itching to start crocheting hats and scarves! Some of my favorite hats to crochet are slouch beanies because they fit loosely on the head, and I can’t stand a hat that smooshes my hair down.

With the Gail Slouch Beanie, the fit is just right. (And if you want a different size than suggested, look on down for instructions on how to adjust the size of your beanie). First you will crochet the ribbing in rows and then turn the hat to work the body, which is made of alternating puff stitches. Though the hat may look complicated, it really is quite simple and crochets with ease.

Give the Gail Slouch Beanie a try and let me know what you think!
