| In the era of flapper dresses and the Charleston, the cloche became popular and is still so today. In this modernized version, you use bulky yarn and a large hook for a quick and easy project. True to the fit of the cloche, this hat will fit close to the head with a slightly flared brim stopping just above the eyes. This pattern includes instructions for 5 different sizes, from baby to large adult. Make some for every girl in your life and bring back the “good ol’ days”. |  |

| What inspires you to start your next crochet project? A pattern, a stitch, or is it the yarn? Most of the time, I have a design in mind and then the stitch and yarn follow. But with this Hyacinth Cowl, it was reversed. I noticed this yarn from Red Heart called Boutique Unforgettable in Petunia and I new I wanted to use it for something light and wispy. I came up with this stitch pattern which features a combination of chains, single crochets, and double crochets. In no time at all, I finished this wispy cowl and you can too! |  |

| You can’t make just one! That’s what I say every time I make one. I started making these scarves years ago and now it has become a tradition with me to make sure each of my family members has one. I really enjoy taking the time to choose a Homespun yarn that perfectly suits the person I am making it for. And with the great variety of colors Homespun has to offer, this can become pleasantly difficult. Give it a try! |  |
| A few months back I borrowed a crochet stitch book from my grandmother who has a whole library of wonderful crafting books. I’ve used it so many times for reference in designing my patterns, I am loath to return it. I believe every crocheter needs their own guide to crochet stitches. Understandably, many of us don’t have one, or can’t borrow one from their grandmother. That’s why we are here at Crochet Spot. To help you learn new things! |  |

| There are many reasons to have a small pouch on hand during this season. Fill it with a gift to give, decorate with it, or use it to put a few of your favorite Christmas CD’s to bring with you on trips, to name just a few. There is always something you can use a pouch for. The stitch used is called the Spike Cluster and works into many of the previous rows to give it the perfect flourish. Though it may look daunting it is truly an easy and fun stitch. So give it a try. You can’t have too many bags! |  |
| There are many themes at Christmas, mostly with color. Berry red and Christmas tree green, often times mixed with white are a more average theme. Then there are candy-colored themes, neon palettes, and some royal colors like deep purple and chocolate brown. But my particular favorite is the old-fashioned theme of dark reds and greens, with some browns thereabouts. Gives you a feeling of cherished Christmases from the past. That’s the same feeling I wanted to capture while designing this pattern. Old and cherished. This star ornament was made with simple stitches and a rustic cotton yarn. Very easy and fun! Merry Christmas everyone! |  |
| When the cold season blows in we begin getting out the winter blankets and decorations. At my house, the tablecloth is changed from the autumn red to winter blue and adorned with snowflake placemats and a handpainted candle holder. Normally, we leave the autumn couch throw until spring but this year I am introducing this new afghan to the room. It has a wide range of blue tones from the yarn to the embroidered snowflakes, an exciting technique for the stripes, and tassels for the finishing touch. I had a lot of fun designing this throw and I’m hoping you will have just as much making it! |  |

| With the arrival of autumn, I thought how fitting it would be to work up something chunky. So I made a list of all the items I could think of off the top of my head that would make fast and fun projects. Here is the first one, an easy cap pattern. With your choice of chunky yarn and a large hook, simply follow some of the basic steps of crocheting for a quick hat to keep out the impending cold. You can’t make just one, though! Don’t forget that these will make great gifts for friends and family. |  |
| Years ago I found a book on crochet snowflakes that inspired me to learn more and get back into crocheting. My reasons then were so that I could make snowflakes, and here I am today making a variety of crocheted projects. I want to offer you these three original snowflake patterns. Stiffen them and hang them from your tree or give them as gifts to friends and family. The thing about snowflakes is, you never can make just one! |  |
