Wrap up this winter with a home-made hat and scarf! Being a big fan of the slouchy look in hats it’s no wonder that the majority of them in my crocheted collection are a form of slouchy beret. And now here is one for you! Pair it with its matching scarf and you’ll love the look. When I first saw a design similar to this scarf on a film, I decided I wanted to mimic it. I played around with a few stitches until I found this one. By pulling the initial yarn over of a double crochet up higher than normal, you achieve a long and lacy stitch that no one will guess is a basic stitch. This stitch pattern mimics broomstick lace and hairpin lace, but is so much simpler to crochet!

There are certain things I do without intention and one of them is recognizing crochet or finding crochet inspiration in the movies. And I know I am not the only one. (See this post by Cami for example). What I noticed lately inspired me to design my new pattern, the Abigail Hat and Scarf. The pattern uses a very basic stitch to which I’ve added a “twist”. If you want to know how to make it follow along and I’ll show you.

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!

There’s a new pattern in the Crochet Spot Store! Requested by a reader, this pattern is a mini version of a Santa Claus hat that is specially designed to fit over a toilet paper roll. If you are shy about having your extra roll of toilet paper sit out in plain sight, then hide it with this cute cover. The cover is a great way to bring extra Christmas decor into the bathroom! The Santa hat will fit over most toilet paper roll sizes. The photo shows it comfortably covering a large 15″ circumference roll.

A big thanks goes out to everyone who participated in the Quick and Easy Holiday Crochet Along, and to Caissa for putting it all together! I had a great time look at all your photos and oooo-ing and ahhhh-ing at your work. I’m pleased to announce that the winner was randomly selected and is… Janette.

Here’s a link to her entry to show off her fantastic work: Janette’s crocheted ruffle scarf

Congrats Janette, and thanks again to everyone for participating! I hope you all had as great of a time as I did.

Gracie is a butterfly with an amigurumi body and open wings. She is a great addition to a child’s room and would look neat on a shelf or among other stuffed animals. The wings have a lot of shaping but intermediate crocheters should have no problem. The wings are crocheted separately and then sewn onto the main body. Feel free to mix and match colors to create a butterfly that is uniquely yours!

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.
