The medium container is perfect for everything else in between from crayons to cotton balls, or even a potted plant! Each container is crocheted from the bottom up, seamlessly in the round.

Crochet Pattern: Broomstick Winter Infinity Scarf

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on January 17th, 2016 by Rachel Choi – Be the first to comment

Crocheted with super bulky weight yarn, this scarf is the right thickness for the cold, winter weather. I love the look of chunky scarves, but dislike the stiffness that is associated with them. This pattern is designed to have easy drape, so that the scarf won’t feel like cardboard! The secret is the broomstick lace technique. Broomstick lace is typically used for dainty lace patterns, but when combined in this scarf pattern with the bulky yarn it is the perfect combination of soft and thick. The scarf is also reversible, with a ribbed pattern on one side and a subtle striped pattern on the other. Wear the scarf with your favorite side showing, or twist the scarf so that you can see both complementing patterns. The scarf has an infinite loop shape that can be worn loosely around the neck, or tight like a cowl.

Crochet Pattern: Warm Winter Capelet (9 Sizes)

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on December 27th, 2015 by Rachel Choi – Be the first to comment

Winter is a wonderful season… as long as you’re warm. This capelet is just what you need to crochet and wear to keep your upper torso warm this season. The capelet looks great whether dressed up or down. The capelet is my favorite accessory when wearing dresses in the winter, especially if the dress has short or no sleeves. You can even crochet it in white and wear it with a winter wedding dress! The capelet is designed with beginner crocheters in mind. Bulky weight yarn and a large crochet hook makes this project relatively quick to crochet and creates a thick, warm fabric. This pattern has 9 sizes, ranging from women’s X-Small to a plus size 5X. Feel free to make the capelet as long or short as you desire.

Crochet Pattern: 3 Solid Blanket Stitches

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on December 20th, 2015 by Rachel Choi – Be the first to comment

Here are three of my favorite blanket stitches that create a solid fabric without large holes and can be crocheted using just one color. Solid colored blankets are great if you aren’t in the mood to change yarn colors every row, but feel free to crochet the blankets in multiple colors if you prefer. The solid fabric is great for babies and also great if you want a warmer blanket without the holes. This set includes the bubble, shell, and chevron stitch blanket patterns. Each pattern has a unique border to give each blanket a finished look. The patterns include instructions for making the blankets any size you wish, from small baby blankets to large bedspreads to any size in between.
