Crochet Pattern: Roll Up Hook Organizer

By Amy Yarbrough – May 4th, 2013 8 Comments
Using a beautiful stitch called the Catherine Wheel, this pattern is a delightful blend of shells and clusters, perfectly displayed when using two colors, but just as pretty with one.
I first discovered the Catherine Wheel when making a baby blanket, my first. And now I believe it has to be the prettiest stitch I’ve had the pleasure to crochet.

Making Flat Beads with Crochet

By Caissa "Cami" McClinton – May 3rd, 2013 8 Comments

Many of us are interested in multiple crafts. My first craft hobby was jewelry making, which I started at age 9! I loved making earrings for my friends and teachers. Ever since then, I’ve loved beads. There are many ways to make crocheted beads, but today we’ll focus upon making flat beads. Because beads are small, this can be an excellent way to use up yarn scraps, especially those of our most expensive and luxurious yarns!

There’s a new pattern in the Crochet Spot Store! Pacifier holders are great if you’re always loosing your pacifiers. The end of the pacifier holder that is appliqued with a flower is clipped to the baby’s clothing while the other end dangles with a pacifier. These holders can also be used for small toys, not just pacifiers! Pacifiers and toys can easily be removed from the holder so that they can be washed.

3 Reasons to Try Tunisian Crochet!

By Caissa "Cami" McClinton – April 28th, 2013 11 Comments

Drop everything and grab a long crochet hook. Now! 🙂 I just learned the fabulous technique called Tunisian crochet and I want everyone to try it!

First you may want to know what Tunisian crochet is. Well, if you’ve ever seen the long crochet hooks or the shorter ones with long cords hanging off them, you’ve seen a Tunisian crochet hook. In order to start, you’d just need one of those and some yarn. The reason the hooks are longer is because when you work a forward pass in Tunisian crochet, all of the stitches stay on your hook. During the reverse pass, you work all of those live stitches off your hook. It’s fun. It’s like a cross between crochet and knitting. Here are the top three reasons I’m loving Tunisian crochet right now.

Crochet Pattern: Mimosa Scarf

By Amy Yarbrough – April 26th, 2013 13 Comments
When I first received a ball of Homespun in Mimosa I wasn’t sure I liked it but by the time I started rolling it into a ball I saw the color change and loved it immediately. This scarf exhibits its color change perfectly. Aside from that, its a wonderful addition to a spring wardrobe, or even early fall. Where I live I wouldn’t recommend it for summer, but I’m sure there are people in cooler areas that would find it a great choice for those summer months. Either way, the netting pattern to the scarf gives it a delicate look, while the bulky weight of the yarn is light.

Crochet Pattern: Doll Bathrobe with Slippers

By Rachel Choi – April 21st, 2013 Be the first to comment
There’s a new pattern in the Crochet Spot Store! Crochet this robe and matching slippers for a special doll who’s ready to sit back and relax. The robe is crocheted all in one piece from the top down, so that no sewing is required. The strap is crocheted separately, then tied around the waist to secure the robe. Slippers are seamlessly crocheted from the bottom up, and fit snugly around the doll’s feet. Feel free to mix and match any two complementing colors to create this robe and slipper set. For a soft, fuzzy outfit, use a boucle or short eyelash yarn.
