Cozy Couch and Bedside Crochet Organizer Caddy
- Designed by Tamara Kelly
Don't you just hate it when all your crochet tools, glasses and your remote get lost somewhere in the house? I hate it too, that's why I've instantly fell in love with this project by Tamara Kelly, that allows you to keep all of your essentials near you!
Earbud/Cord Organizer
Doubtless, you have often taken your headphones out of your pocket or handbag and it looked like a wad of stuck together spaghetti? Well, with this crocheted cable organizer it no longer has to be like this. Moreover, these are chic, snazzy and fun - always a bonus for the kids.
Linen Stripes Dishcloth
The Linen Stripes Dishcloth has a wonderful, woven texture, with subtle stripes. It can be crocheted in two colors to enhance the stripes even more. This dishcloth looks best in a solid color to show off the linen-like texture. Multi-colored yarn works great for the stripes. Each dish cloth measures approximately 8" (20 cm) by 8” (20 cm). Each dishcloth can be crocheted in about an hour. You can make at least four of them from one skein of Comfy Cotton Blend.
Pocket Hot Pad
Crochet hot pads are one of those gifts everyone LOVES. Plus they can be hard to find for most people that don't crochet. So, gifting hot pads is a great handmade gift that will be appreciated. The pocket hot pad is a fun, useful kitchen essential. The pocket can be used to help grab items out of the stove or can be used as a way to gift some fun kitchen gadgets. Everybody loves a pocket. Crochet Hook Size I (5.50mm) Worsted (#4) Weight Yarn-ranges from 95-120 yards Measuring Tape Yarn Needle Scissors Size: 7" or 9" options - both square with hanging loop
Red, White, and Blue Plarn Crochet Placemats
Placemats like these would make a fabulous addition to your outdoor picnic table, especially when celebrating holidays like Memorial Day and the 4th of July. They are made with plarn, an interesting material to upcycle for use in crocheting placemats. This free pattern also comes with instructions for complementary plarn coasters.
Note that it's not recommended to use these placemats for hot dishes, but they're ideal when serving sandwiches, salad, pickles, or other similar picnic fares. Best of all, plarn is easy to make (for free) using readily available materials. And of course, you could opt to use different plastic bag colors to make similar crochet placemats without the red, white, and blue theme.
