| A flower with just a little bit of pop makes a great accent to finish off a hat or other project. It’s also good on its own as part of a handmade bouquet. Vary the look by pressing the center inward or outward or by changing color after the second round. |

| I needed an item preferably a scarf to promote the new Kid’s Crochet classes at an event at the store where I teach. I came up with the Crayon Link Scarf pattern. The scarf was a huge hit with the kids. They loved the bright colors and many different ways they could wear it. Some options on how to wear it is as a scarf, mobieus, necklace or belt. I am sure there are many other ways to wear it too. Color options include all one color or each link a different color. It’s a great way to use your stash. The scarf works up quickly and the length can be adjusted by the number of links that are connected. Another option is to connect the end links and turn it into a mobieus. |

| Rain doesn’t have to be sad and gray. This pair of earrings are proof of that. Their drop shape is finished off with a single clear bead, making the name perfect. Of course they’ll look good in any colors you choose for the yarn and beads, so have fun choosing them. |

| The eyeglass case that came with my glasses broke last week and I needed a new eyeglass case. I couldn’t find any that I liked in the stores, so I decided to make my own. This is a favorite pattern of mine. I have made jewelry and crochet holder caddies with this pattern. For the eyeglass caddie I downsized the number of stitches and rows to make it a perfect fit. It is easy to adjust the caddie pattern for the perfect fit using any type of yarn. To make a caddie to fit your needs all you need to do is increase or decrease the stitches and rows. They make great gifts. Best of all, they are quick and easy to make! |

| What makes Christmas the most enjoyable is being able to make things that celebrate the season. Something that gives you a warm, old-fashioned feeling inside is usually what I look for and crocheting over ornaments is a beautiful tradition that gives me that feeling. It’s something people have been doing for years, and once again I am adding to the collection! You may also like to try the Trellis Christmas Ornament to match! |  |
| I had an excess of dried Rosemary that I harvested from my herb garden and was thinking of a way I could use it and then I thought of creating a sachet. These are wonderful in drawers and closets or just about anywhere. They also make great gifts. You can change out the herb to your favorite one. These sachets are also a great way to use up your yarn stash. They are quick and easy too! |

| Can’t believe the holdiay season is already here. Where did the time go? Are you giving gift cards this holiday season? Make giving gift cards more personal by making a gift card holder. These gift card holder’s work up quick and they are easy to make. You can personalize the gift card holder for each recipient by using yarn in their favorite colors. After they use the gift card, they can continue to use the gift card holder as a business card or reward card holder. |

| After seeing a pattern for crocheting ornament covers in a crochet magazine I thought they would make a great holiday activity for my family to do together. But even though it’s an easy pattern, there are still elements a newbie would struggle with. So I decided to make my own design using the very basics of crochet. And here it is! Add a little glitter for some sparkle and don’t forget the ribbon! |  |
| Add a little sparkle to your party outfits this holiday season with a Sparkly Rose Ring. It’s easy to make and whips up quickly. The pattern is made in two pieces, the ring band and the rose. You can adjust the beginning chains on the ring band to fit any size finger, so they also make perfect gifts for everyone on your list. They only take a few yards of yarn, so they are a good way to use up your yarn stash too. For colorful variations, you can use two different colors one for the band and one for the rose. |
