The Chalkboard Crochet Can Cooler is a fast project that combines crochet and chalkboard iron-on for the perfect accessory for summer fun! Claim your beverage or keep score on your game with this free and quick Cricut craft and crochet pattern! The Chalkboard Crochet Can Cooler (aka Coozie or Coolie) is a simple pattern that's perfect for using up leftover bits of 100% cotton yarn - like from the Beer Growler Cozy, made with Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie! Then, Chalkboard Vinyl from Siser can be cut with a Cricut Maker (or just household scissors!) and ironed right onto the cooler. You can use this to write your name to prevent mixups, or keep track of the game you're playing… or how many drinks you've had! Of course, the chalkboard iron on is optional - but it's a lot of fun! Linked stitches in the Color B section provide a firmer background for the iron-on, but if you are skipping that portion, regular dc stitches work just fine too!

Smoothie Cloth Set
For Home
I love being able to make things for specific needs. Recently I decided a hanging towel would work perfectly in our trailer bathroom. The only problem is there is a hook and not a bar to wrap a tabbed cloth around. I finished the top off with a D ring instead and it is just right. Of course I needed some cloths to match. Materials and Details Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie Cotton Yarn: 100-120 yds OR Red Heart Scrubby Cotton Yarn: 90-110 yds Crochet Hooks: H, I Miscellaneous: Yarn needle for weaving in ends Hanging Towel Only: Large D-ring (bottom width 1 ⅜” - 1 1/2”) or 3/4” button, sewing needle, thread Finished Measurements: Smoothie Cotton Large Cloth: 11” x 11” Scrubby Cotton Small Cloth: 7.5” x 7.5” Hanging Towel: 12” wide x 12” tall (not including ring)
Quilter's Dish Scrubby
For Home
Based on a quilter’s block pattern, create a colorful dish scrubby that combines cotton and textured yarn for a multi purpose cleaning. Each dish scrubby consists of 4 motifs that are joined together to create a quilt-like block pattern. The four motifs are fun to rearrange to create a multiple of block patterns. Step by step YouTube video available. Dish cloth is 5 3/4” x 5 3/4” and calls for one skein of Red Heart Scrubby and Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie yarn.
Double Thick Scrubby Dishcloth
For Home
I whipped up this very quick and easy scrubby dishcloth. If you haven’t worked with Scrubby Yarn before, this would make a great first project. This easy dishcloth is crocheted with a larger sized hook (7 mm) and uses only simple stitches. The Double Thick Scrubby Dishcloth is crocheted with 2-strands of Scrubby Yarn held together. I chose to use 2 different colors from my Stash but you could just as easily use 2 strands from one ball of yarn. This scrubby dishcloth took me less than 15 minutes to crochet - so I'm sure you will have it done quickly too!
Double thick and super squishy, its small size makes it particularly good at getting into smaller corners and edges. I personally prefer smaller dishcloths for cleaning, they are just easier for my hands to hold onto! Try this pattern and let me know what you think! Maybe you will decide you prefer small dishcloths too! You can substitute any yarn and hook for this stitch pattern - just remember when you substitute if your gauge is different, the finished size of your project will also be different.
Cast Iron Skillet Handle Cover
For Home
If you know my husband, you know he's estate sale shopper. He loves a good deal and tops on his collection list are old cast iron skillets. He loves to bring them home, lovingly work off any rust spots and clean them to perfection. He also loves to cook with them. When the cast iron gets hot, the whole thing gets hot, including the handle. Rather than grabbing the skillet with a potholder, I thought I could probably make something better. And so I designed a cast iron skillet handle cover and I'm sharing the pattern here with you. Just in case you want to keep your husband from burning himself.
