Lily's Floral Rectangle Doily

This lovely doily works up in about an hour, and is perfect for scraps. It's also easy to adjust if you want a larger one, or make a bunch and sew together for a table runner. You'll need 47 yards of worsted weight yarn. I used Knit Picks Dishie. The gauge and finished size is not essential for this project. I am using cotton because it's durable, and machine washes and dries well. If you intend on using with warm or moist items, I recommend the cotton (or wool), otherwise any fiber works. Cotton yarn will appear thinner and have more definition than acrylic so it's possible a worsted weight acrylic yarn would produce a slightly larger doily.

Granny's Scrappy Placemat

My Granny’s series features one round granny squares. This makes it really great for using up those tiny bits of yarn in your stash. If you don't need a placemat, use it as a larger doily. You'll need 282 yards of worsted weight yarn. As a placemat, I recommend cotton since it's more durable, but as a doily, acrylic works too. I used Lily Sugar n Cream for my placemat. Alternatively, I recommend WeCrochet Dishie (cotton) or Red Heart Super Saver (acrylic). I have included instructions to make a variety of sizes depending on your preference. This placemat took me about 8.25 hours to complete.

It may look tricky to make this tiny napkin, but you can work on it efficiently with a free pattern and all written details.

Easter Bunny Towel and Washcloth Set

Ever since designing my very first character Christmas towel in 2019, (the Snowman Kitchen Towel), I've wanted to design other character towels to celebrate all of the holidays. The Easter Bunny Crochet Hand Towel and Washcloth Set was designed to add a little fun, crochet decor to your home for the Easter Season. YARN Cotton is the go-to fiber for crochet dish cloths, dish towels, and hand towels as it's the most absorbent. There are several cotton yarns out there that would be perfect for this project, but I chose to use Lily Sugar n' Cream 100% worsted weight cotton yarn. Lily Sugar n' Cream is available in 39 colors so I was able to find all of the colors I needed for this project within the same yarn line.

30 Minute Ice Cream Sleeve

Let me guess, you’re here for one reason and one reason only; You love ice cream but can’t stand how cold that little pint is when you’re just trying to enjoy a cold dessert while watching the Bachelor. Especially if you love to devour ice cream any time of the year, meaning those winter months are even rougher! It really is a tragedy. So naturally, I had to design a crochet pattern to solve this horrific event we all face, sometimes on the daily.

Say hello to the 30 minute Ice Cream Pint Sleeve. Yup, you read that correctly. In 30 minutes or less, you can enjoy a pint of Ben and Jerry’s comfortably. You can thank me later.

UPDATE: My husband has managed to steal this ice cream sleeve from me the last 3 nights in a row (yes, we eat ice cream that often). Be warned you may need to make more than one!

Stars and Stripes Hand Towel

Since designing the Gingerbread Man Kitchen Towel, I've had many ask me to design other crochet keyhole towels for all other holidays and for year-round use. Add a little Fourth of July, red, white and blue, crochet decor to your space with the Stars and Stripes Hand Towel, my latest crochet keyhole towel design. YARN Cotton is the go-to fiber for crochet dish cloths, dish towels, and hand towels as it's the most absorbent. There are several cotton yarns out there that would be perfect for this project, but I chose to use Lily Sugar n' Cream 100% worsted weight cotton yarn. Lily Sugar n' Cream is available in 39 colors so I was able to find the perfect colors I needed for this project within the same yarn line.
