Crochet Pattern: Solid Chevron Placemat

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on September 24th, 2016 by Rachel Choi – Be the first to comment

Chevron patterns are all the rage, but sometimes you don’t feel like changing colors and having to weave in a lot of yarn ends into your crochet project. Although you can choose to crochet this pattern in stripes, like a traditional chevron pattern, all you need is a single, solid colored yarn to achieve the classic chevron look. Crochet a set of placemats for your next dinner party, family gathering for the holidays, or as a housewarming gift.

Finishing Off Crochet Round with Seamless Join

Posted in Tutorials and Help on September 20th, 2016 by Rachel Choi – 3 Comments

If you’re familiar with crocheting in the round, you know there are times when you have to join, especially when you’re ending your work. Joins are traditionally done using slip stitches, which can create a seam and look unsightly. Crocheting seamlessly in the round is a great technique to avoid seams in the body of your work, but often times a slip stitch join is still required at the very end to finish off.

Crochet Pattern: Sippy Cup Tether

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on September 10th, 2016 by Rachel Choi – Be the first to comment

Is your child in the “throw everything” phase? It’s quite a pain in the back bending over and picking that sippy cup off the floor every 20 seconds! Crochet a bunch of these tethers to leash those cups onto a highchair, stroller, car seat, or anywhere else you need. The tether is easy to adjust and can fit around all shapes and sizes of cups and even toys by adjusting the tension in the D-ring fastener. The other end of the tether has a buckle loop to secure the tether in place. The size of the buckle loop can be adjusted by sliding the buckle. Crocheting your own tethers allows you to customize the length as you see fit. You can also change the hardware if you prefer a suction cup or clip instead. No sewing is required for this crochet pattern! Photos are included for attaching and crocheting the hardware onto the tether.

This crochet pattern was requested by a Crochet Spot reader!
Have you ever wanted to customize your dog’s leash? With this crochet pattern, not only can you choose your favorite color, you can customize the length and thickness of the leash. Make a shorter leash for tall dogs, or a longer leash to let your dog roam. You can choose the material that you prefer, from regular yarn, sturdy craft cord, reflective paracord, recycled t-shirts, or even plarn (plastic yarn). Your imagination is the limit. The leash in the sample photo uses medium/worsted weight yarn, but you can easily substitute other materials if you wish. The leash is crocheted seamlessly in the round, like a spiral, to create a sturdy cord.

30% OFF Sock and Slipper Crochet Patterns

Posted in News on August 25th, 2016 by Rachel Choi – Be the first to comment

Crochet socks and slippers to keep those feet toasty warm this coming winter. Socks and slippers are my favorite winter accessories, because my feet tend to get cold easily. If you’re an avid sock and slipper crocheter like me, you may even prefer them over the commercial variety for their warmth and comfort.

Each year I crochet a new pair of slippers to add to my collection. They are great to wear at home and toss in the wash every now and then. Crochet socks can be worn throughout winter, but they are my favorite to wear for skiing and snowboarding, or walking my dogs in the snow. They are thin enough to fit into my shoe comfortably while being extremely warm.

If you’re ready to start crocheting socks and slippers for the winter season, check out the patterns below to get 30% OFF of the pattern.

The sock and slipper patterns can be found in the accessories section or click on the photos below to see each pattern’s page.
