| Personalize your morning coffee with a stylish handmade cozy instead of using a generic paper sleeve.
Corsets are fun and fashionable, and putting one on your cup will make a statement. Post stitches make up the “boning” while the ribbon can be swapped out and adjusted to fit your mood and your cup. |

| This nice-sized, somewhat slouchy beret is great for everyday wear. It has a fun star pattern in the center of the back and vents that let it breathe while the denser stitches around the opening keep the whole thing looking structured and secure. If you’re a hat person, this beret is a nice addition to your collection. |  |
| I admit I miss my beautiful flower garden, which my family tends from the first crocus to fall mums. So, to satisfy my longing I enjoy crocheting flowers, especially with fingering yarn. They look so lacy and feminine and can be used in a myriad of ways. This rosette can be used as a bow on packages, on a child’s headband, or a pin for a hat or coat. They can be crocheted in no time and can be quite addictive. I hope to make several of these rosettes in a rainbow of colors to join into a lacy scarf that can be worn into early spring. |  |
| A large hook and thin yarn make this neckwarmer airy and light. It looks great in yarn with a halo, and it closes with a button, but you don’t even need to make a buttonhole. |  |
| Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? As a kid snow on Christmas was a pretty high priority, but not so much that we couldn’t drive to my Grandma’s house for all the holiday festivities. Those years have long since passed and since a white Christmas isn’t in my forecast for this year I thought I’d whip up a little snowman applique to remind me of all those warm Christmas time memories. This frosty fellow would be perfect perched on your gift tags, for embellishing kid’s clothes or any other project that might need a bit of sprucing up for the holidays. |  |
| This capelet is light and airy, but it’s also surprisingly warm. It uses tall stitches, so it’s quick to work up and very open. The cape has a very loose drape but can be blocked or starched for a more crisp fabric.
Close it up with ties or a pin or leave it open for a more casual look. |

| I love Christmas and shopping for the perfect gift for everyone on my list. It’s a special time of year to show those close to you how much they really mean to you. I have several people on my list who love crafting as much as I do. Since we all dabble in about a 101 different projects at a time it’s sometimes hard to know what supplies to buy and stick beneath the tree. So, for the yarn lovers I crocheted this gift card holder that will be home to a gift card from one of my favorite yarn shops. This quick project adds a handmade touch that your creative friends are sure to love! |  |
| ‘Tis the season for gatherings and parties. Stand out and look perfectly festive with the right accessories. This choker style necklace looks great in bright seasonal colors. Add metallic beads, and you have a lot of color combinations to mix, match, and wear out. |  |
| While digging through my boxes of holiday decorations I found garland after garland of holly. So, this week’s pattern is, you guessed it, a holly applique. I think this would look so sweet around the hem of a child’s dress. It could also be used to spruce up your Christmas gift tags. You could also turn it into an ornament and send it in your holiday cards as a small gift. If you give baskets of baked goods to your neighbors, you could sew this applique on the towel lining the basket. Your creativity is the only limit to the uses for this pattern. Have fun! |  |
| While thinking about the problem of replicating the knitted drop-stitch effect in crochet, I hit upon an idea. Solomon’s Knot might work if it was stacked instead of worked as a net. Fortunately for those of us who like the look of strategically dropped knit stitches, it does work, and once you get past the foundation row, it’s easy for an experienced crocheter to work up. If you get stuck, remember to check out the links in the Special Instructions section to get an idea of how the stitches should be made. |  |
