Today's free crochet pattern is the Ferne Sideways Shawl, this beautiful shawl is such a joy to make as it uses simple crochet stitches to make a minimalist design but still looks absolutely stunning on! When creating the Ferne Sideways Shawl i took the design from the Ferne Asymmetrical Shawl and created it sideways and even though it's the same design it still looks different. Working a shawl up in filet crochet makes this shawl a perfect quick and mindless project to make and only takes four days to do if you crochet 220 yards a day! Since this is a filet crochet pattern you will be working the shawl pattern in only double crochet and chain stitches, once you have crocheted rows 1-7 from then on you will only follow a four row pattern repeat which is super easy to remember.

Jump into summery fun with this Beach Ball Square! Vibrant colors and a raised edge make the beach ball really pop on a neutral, sandy background. Finished off with a fast and colorful border, this square is sure to add a little sunshine to your project. For another fun idea, some people have noticed that if you make the circle in 2 colors instead of three, it can look like a radiation symbol instead of a beach ball!

Here's a fish scrubby pattern that's 7" x 3" (17cm x 8cm). There's also a video tutorial on my Youtube channel. I've used 4 ply cotton and a 1.25mm crochet hook but you can use different sizes depending on what you're most comfortable with. Blue, black, yellow and a very small amount of white 4 ply crochet cotton. (Cotton would be better than synthetic) A crochet hook, I used a 1.25mm hook. Scissors. A darning needle to weave in ends. Sewing thread and a needle to stitch the body fin and eye onto the fish. 2 x 6g scouring pads (about 2” or 5cm across).

The Light as a Feather Crochet Shrug is a great piece of crocheted clothing to have in your closet. The lightweight lacy design makes it a perfect layering piece for the spring season. Crochet motifs come together like magic to create a ladylike pattern with a bit of vintage flair. A big button adds the perfect finishing touch and allows you to wear it as a cute buttoned bolero. The crochet pattern is written for a size small/medium, but can easily be adjusted.

12 months, 12 squares, and lots of fun tapestry designs. The 2018 Tapestry Square Afghan Project is going to be a fun way to try out the technique and make a fun blanket by December. Who doesn't love sitting under a cozy blanket, cuddled up with your favorite pet or spouse, with a book or a project on their lap, while sipping on something delicious and toasty in their cup? That's my favorite late Fall/ early Winter activity, especially when the weather outside is turning decidedly frightful. Let it snow, rain, or be windy, I'll be inside with my cup of cocoa and a good book.

This Squirrel Potholder is a beautiful and practical potholder designed in tapestry crochet. The advantage of tapestry crochet is that it creates a solid and compact fabric without any holes.

This potholder is part of my Farmhouse Collection of tapestry crochet potholders.

The Polar Rush Capelet works up quickly by using bulky (5) weight yarn. The gorgeous texture comes from the use of my signature Dolphin Stitch. The fringe adds the perfect touch!
