As long as they're not building a dam on someone's property, beavers are beloved animals and even the mascot of several schools.

This easy crochet pattern is quick to make with a double strand of cotton worsted yarn. You may even have the right colors in your stash already.

Use these dishcloths as decorations at your Thanksgiving feast or just as autumnal decorations.

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!

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.
