This Colorwheel Coffee Cozy is so much fun to work on! I feel so honored to be chosen by Michael's to tell you about their new yarn line! Because they are such a great company I didn't have to think twice about saying YES! And I was even more thrilled when the yarn came for me to play with. They also know I have both knit and crochet fans so I get to show you projects in both crafts and everyone wins!
Crochet your own textured coasters with bohemian flair and a bobble square that will hug your coffee mug. The free square Boho Bobble Coaster pattern utilizes bobble stitches and fringe for a fun, cotton coaster. To crochet these coasters, you'll need about 35 yards of worsted weight cotton yarn (I used Lily Sugar n Cream yarn in "Light Blue"), a 4.5 mm crochet hook, a tapestry needle, and a small comb for brushing out the fringe.
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.

Crochet Potholders are versatile. You have a choice to make them in any shape you wish. By using different combination and variety of Crochet Stitches, you can give them a lovely textured look. They are both decorative and functional and they also make beautiful gifts for your loved ones, be it any occasion. You can color code them and make them according to the holiday season. Today am sharing the pattern for this super easy and quick to make Crochet Square Placemat Potholder. These work up really quickly. I have used Cobble Stone Stitch. This is an awesome stitch pattern which gives a lovely texture. This pattern is a repeat of only 2 rows throughout which is made by alternating each row. The Border is made up with Puff Stitches. These pot holders would look nice with both variegated and solid colors. These pretty potholders are the perfect beginner pattern for a quick and fun project to show off your crochet skills. Materials Used:- 4 Ply Cotton Knitting Yarn 4 mm Crochet Hook
If you love the classic look of chevrons, and the granny stitch in crochet, you'll love this piece! The Granny Chevron Table Runner is made with simple repeats of chain and double crochet stitches, using the classic look of a granny stitch to create a chevron design! This table runner has three distinct chevron points, created by skipping over stitches (decreasing) and adding multiple stitches (increasing). The classic granny stitch is used here to add even more depth and texture to this table runner - making this a true statement piece for the center of your dining table. Once you get started with this piece, and memorize the one repeating row of stitches, it is very quick and easy to work up with very little focus needed! Because this is a piece of decoration, you can use yarn colors, fibers, and weights that you like best. Follow the pattern exactly to make a 44” long runner, or you can easily adjust the pattern length by adding rows until you have a length you love. While this pattern is written to create a table runner, you can use the stitch repeat multiple to work this design into other projects: washcloth, scarf, blanket, rug, and so much more!
This slender fit, marbled oven mitt or potholder is a great addition to any kitchen! It is very easy to work up, only using a single crochet and slip stitch. The material winds up being very thick, protecting the hands from warm (not hot!) pot and pan handles.
