| 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. |

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!
| The pattern for this abstract barrette is simple yet complicated. The pattern takes basic stitches and uses them to create an interesting shape. Experienced crocheters may enjoy playing around with this neat, little accessory. |  |
| 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. | 
|
The pattern includes the pacifier holder pattern that you can crochet in an assortment of colors, and the 5 flower appliques.

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.

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.
Finished Size: 70 inches (178 cm) long |

| Here is a quick, simple bracelet you can wear every day. Changing the thread and ribbon colors leaves you with endless combinations. While the stitch pattern is simple, the fine thread and construction make this pattern suited for more experienced crocheters. |  |
| 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. |
