This baby blanket is so fun and easy featuring Lion Brand Mandala Baby yarn, the pineapple cluster stitch and an easy one-row repeat! Perfect match with the Lion Brand Mandala yarn but could certainly be made with any size weight yarn as gauge is not important with this project. The edging is a frilly double edged arch which is the perfect match with this blanket. Easy and fun this blanket would be lovely as a baby gift.
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!

I used Sugar and Cream cotton yarn in the color sage in the photograph. Enjoy the pattern!

The Neapolitan Scratch N Sniff poncho is a lovely, comfy crochet poncho that will make you feel beautiful and cozy. I made this poncho at my local knit and crochet group, and several of the wonderful ladies there modeled the finished poncho for me. Every one of them commented on how soft it was, the Red Heart Hygge yarn is just wonderful. My friend Rachel (one of my stunning models) named this poncho because it looks like a scratch n sniff sticker for Neapolitan ice cream. I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as my friends and I do!

The Rose Finch Capelet is a vintage lace poncho that is light, airy, and the perfect accessory for warmer Spring and Summer seasons!

If you have lavender in your garden or neighbourhood you will know how calming the smell can be. Every autumn after the bees are finished, I harvest the lavender to make sachets for my wardrobe, linen closet and draws. This crochet pouch pattern was created to hold the dried lavender flowers. You could also use this small drawstring bag for favours or small gifts such as jewellery, maybe even a ring pouch for a wedding or even a coin purse! The beginners project, which includes a photo tutorial, uses a small amount of yarn for a huge number of functions!
The crochet Lenio Shawl is a beautiful boomerang shawl that shapes as you crochet it. It's made with easy crochet stitches and the stitch details creates subtle stripes and texture. To crochet this shawl you'll only need one skein. However, since it's a lace weight yarn, it also means a lot of yardage to crochet. The shawl is perfect to make and wear all through the year and it's a light shawl to bring when you travel.
