If you have an extra mason jar laying around the house, you can use it to store your crochet hooks! Crochet this simple top to place on a mason jar and you have an instant storage solution. You can also use the holder for pencils and pens. Use a mason jar with a 2 1/2″ opening at the top. I’ve found that there are different sized jars that have the same size opening, so I close to use one of my shorter jars so the tops of the crochet hooks can stick out easier.

Winter isn’t over yet, so here are 10 of my favorite crochet patterns to crochet to keep you and your family toasty warm. From sweaters, to scarves, to gloves, check out the patterns below and grab your yarn and get hooking!

These Easy Adjustable Socks can be made to fit any foot size! The pattern is written like a tutorial so that you can adjust the size of the sock as you crochet to get a custom fit. I love crocheted socks, since they have the warmth of a big, bulk commercially made sock, but without the bulky.

The Cozy Keyhole Scarf is a great alternative to a traditional scarf. There’s a keyhole that is crocheted into the scarf so that the scarf wraps around your neck then through the keyhole to keep it in place. It’s just as cozy and warm as a regular scarf, but is quicker to crochet and uses less yarn. You can also crochet a matching Cozy Hat.

The Classic Sweater comes in 9 sizes ranging from X-Small to 5X. It is crocheted from the top down in one piece and can easily be tried on as you crochet to get the perfect fit. This sweater is one if the most popular winter patterns!
