This crochet Mini Bow is another heart-shaped project. The bow is made with two connected hearts. I've crocheted these mini bows with cotton thread size 10 and they turned out really small - only about 1”. You are welcome to experiment with different sizes of threads, yarns, and hooks to get different sizes of the bow. This crochet mini Bow would be perfect for such projects as scrapbooking and card making. You can use these bows to embellish baby clothes or a baby blanket, decorate picture frames, or photo albums…

Make some sweet crochet hearts to give to someone special. You could make a crochet heart garland to hang on your mantle. They would also be perfect to embellish a baby blanket, or crochet some hearts in Rainbow shades, to make a garland for a new baby. I love to use a neutral shade like cream for the edging, and they always remind me of faded crochet doilies. But I couldn't resist making a selection in retro bright shades as well. You will need some scraps of cotton yarn and a matching hook

The open stitches down the center of this scarf take so far beyond a simple moss stitch scarf. You can leave it as a regular scarf (a great idea if you want to give it to a guy) or sew it up at the end and make a cozy infinity scarf. Either way, it is lovely and versatile - sure to keep you warm all winter long! Plus, it takes only 1 skein of Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca Bonus Bundle - or 2 regular sized skeins.

Children of all ages enjoy playing dress up and imagining that they are someone else, and if they can become a magical character that only makes the activity more fun.

The pattern has instructions for three sizes so you can make this mermaid tail to fit a small child or an adult with a childlike imagination.

Washing dishes will be a delight with this crochet scrubby by your side! This intermediate crochet pattern uses nylon netting to scrub away at pots and pans.

From the blogger: It's time to think about unique gift ideas, and homemade gifts are the best! These are my version of crocheted pot scrubbies made from nylon netting. They make fabulous handmade gifts! I plan on adding them to gift bags along with measuring spoons, cooking utensils, pot holders, and a recipe book. The nylon netting can be found at your local fabric store. One half yard of netting per scrubby is more than sufficient. Make something unique!
