A Crochet Happy Place!
Beanies and hats are hands down my favorite thing to crochet. I think one of the reasons why they are my favorite is because they can be crocheted multiple ways. I typically crochet my beanies either top down (in the round), bottom up (creating a band, joining the band, then crocheting the body and cinching at the top) or by crocheting a rectangle, sewing the shorter ends together, and then cinching the top.

Have you ever used roving yarn? I have been wanting to create a pattern using roving yarn for a while now but I just never seemed to get around to it. There have been so many times when I had it in my hands and was ready to buy but always ended up putting it back and getting distracted with some other kind of yarn lol! Roving yarn is yarn that is usually bulky and is not twisted or plied like many other types of yarn. It is created in a long and narrow bundle of fiber. It can be used for felting and is incredibly resilient. [Read more…]
Hello Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Like I mentioned before, I have been exploring different crochet techniques lately. It has been very eye opening learning about all the different stitches. The crochet world is always changing. It doesn’t matter how long you have been crocheting, there is always something to learn! One area that fascinates me is fair isle crochet! [Read more…]
Hello Everyone! I hope everyone is having a great week! In honor of Valentines Day coming up, I thought I would create a valentine pattern. It’s still very cold and frigid outside here in Jersey so I decided I would create a cute and chunky crochet beanie pattern. [Read more…]
Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a great January so far! The weather has been pretty crazy here as of late. Just last week we had about 7 inches of snow, and this week it hit over 60 degrees! With this kind of erratic weather, I never know what to wear! [Read more…]
I have been wanting to create this beanie pattern for a while now. I have been feeling a little unmotivated lately. The Christmas holiday is behind us and we can finally give a sigh of relief. Sometimes all I wanna do is just SIT! Does that makes me lazy?? I hope not. [Read more…]
I don’t know about you, but I love a pop of color. Especially when that pop of color is combined with more muted or neutral shades.
The days are starting to get a lot colder here in Jersey. I don’t mind the cold, as long as I’m bundled up. But one thing I know that comes with the Winter months are more dreary and gray days…boo! It starts to get darker out earlier as well. But no matter how dreary the days may seem, there is always a sunrise to every day! Every morning there is a peek (or pop) of color you can see against the clouds. The sunrise was my inspiration for this beanie. [Read more…]
Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a great week! Like me, I am sure you are all recovering from a crazy and hectic Christmas season. It has been nothing short of a whirlwind these past few weeks. I feel I have almost recovered. It’s been a little tough trying to find time to crochet or write new patterns. All my time is being sucked up by cleaning and taking down holiday decorations, or throwing out old toys to make room for all the new ones my boys received for Christmas from all my relatives. But there have been a few quiet moments among all the craziness that have allowed me to pick up my hook and yarn and create something new! [Read more…]
I love bulky yarn! It is definitely my favorite weight yarn to work with! I love that you can create a cowl, hat, scarf etc. in such little time with bulky yarn. I will admit, I tend to be very impatient when crocheting. I very much dislike projects that take a lot of time. When you are a mama you tend to not have a lot of time! [Read more…]
Hello Everyone! I hope your week is going well. This week has been pretty busy for me. The other day I was cleaning/organizing my yarn stash and came across some skeins I bought awhile ago but didn’t have a purpose for at the time. I was so excited to find them. It was like a little Christmas present waiting to be found! Anywho, I absolutely love the color of this yarn (which is kinda weird because I tend to gravitate toward bright colors). [Read more…]
