There’s a new pattern in the Crochet Spot Store! Crochet this shawl to wrap yourself in warmth during the winter months. It’s great to wear while lounging around the house, or when you’re out and about. The shawl is a basic rectangle shape that you can adjust to make as long and as wide as you desire. The stitch pattern is repetitive, making it easy and fast to crochet. The pockets have a nice curved shape and uses the same stitch pattern as the main shawl. The bulky weight yarn used in this pattern makes the shawl super warm!

Sometimes we can create different textures and effects by crocheting into unexpected places on our crochet fabric. This week we’ll focus upon how to crochet over single crochets in rows. For the purpose of practicing this skill, we’ll make a small swatch in this tutorial. Yarn and hook size don’t matter for this practice swatch.

There are lots of “Keep Calm and…” sayings going around about many different subjects. I was inspired by the crown and set out to make my own version. The first try was sketchy, so I made some changes. Initially I used thread, and it was straining on the eyes, but when I was finally satisfied, I tried it out in worsted weight and thought it looked a whole lot clearer. So try it in your favourite yarn and tell me what you think!

Crocheted cuffs are a great accessory for any season. Made, with cooler fibers, they can just be jewelry or function as pretty sweat bands. With warmer fibers, they add a little more warmth and can cover that gap between sleeve and gloves. The lace pattern is easy to adjust for larger or smaller wrists.

Essentially, this is a pattern for covering a bracelet with crochet. I used parts from an automotive (my Dad’s a mechanic) but you can use a plain bracelet from the craft store. The stitch count my vary, especially if you choose a band that is smaller in diameter than mine, but the basic idea is to single crochet around the band until you are satisfied, adding your choice of beads at even intervals. Have fun!

Hello, Crochet Spot Readers! I’ve been blogging here at Crochet Spot since October 2012, but I haven’t yet taken a moment to introduce myself and let you know what I am all about. I hope that this post will open a conversation so that we all can share a bit about who we are!

Although I have been a crafter for my entire life, I started crocheting in 2008. It has become my main hobby since then and I’ve had the opportunity to branch out into designing both here on Crochet Spot and in a new book called Crochet One Skein Wonders. I am the founding President of the first Mexican Chapter of the Crochet Guild of America. We’re called “Ganchitos,” which means “little hookies.”

I have a Master’s Degree in education, but lately I’ve been exploring the world of business in order to learn a different industry. One project that I’ve been working on for a long time is my personal blog, Art, Like Bread.

There’s a new pattern in the Crochet Spot Store! The snuggle worm is a cuddly amigurumi that lets even novices create new friends for little kids. It’s crocheted seamlessly in the round like a spiral. The snuggle worm uses basic crochet stitches and is easily customizable for color changes if you want to create stripes or add extra length if you want a longer worm. For extra fun, you can add a rattle or bell. This toy is great for small children, but it can also be used as a dog toy!

Summertime means tank tops, shorts and flip flops. But it also means it’s time to show off those anklets that have been stowed away in your jewelry box for a while. These are easy to make and if you happen to want them as a bracelet or necklace just add or subtract a flower. Simple and pretty!
