Is this your first time crocheting with a lace weight yarn? Or are you an expert? This pattern has a beautiful simplistic stitch for a beautiful drape and wearable poncho. Sometimes using a great textured stitch repeat can not only be relaxing but have a beautiful effect. This poncho uses the Double Crochet V-Stitch. I could see this in a white for a bride. Or even in a shade of pink for bridesmaid in a spring wedding. It is so light and airy with softness to the max.

You can say, "See ya later, alligator" to your child when she goes off to school with this Crocodile Crochet Pencil Case. She'll respond with, "After while crocodile," waving her adorable pencil case in the air like a prized possession. Any child will absolutely fall in love with this case and, perhaps, school itself. Going back to school is so much cooler with some neat supplies and you don't have to spend a fortune on personalized things. Use your crochet skills to send your child off to school in style.

The Lemon Squeezy Baby Blanket crochet pattern is an easy crochet pattern. You should know how to chain, single crochet, double crochet, complete a standing single crochet, and spike stitch for this pattern. The finished baby blanket is approximately 30" by 28". I do provide the multiple, and it would be very easy to make this blanket bigger or smaller as desired. The pattern calls for approximately 1100 yds of dk weight yarn and a size H8 5mm crochet hook.

Do you recognize the flower motif? I have used it to create my Easy Floral Coasters, Sunflower Shawl, and Floral Hoop Earrings, and now this gorgeous runner! The leaves and flowers are worked in a join-as-you-go manner, and I have provided photo tutorials of how to work this technique. I used cotton yarn because of the added durability, but any yarn will work for this project, and it requires just over 14 hours to work up.

Elegant Capelet Wrap Crochet Free Pattern. Both elegant and minimalist, this crochet wrap pattern is the perfect accessory - quick and easy to make, even for beginners.

I love tiny purses! They are so fun and show so much personality! And the creation of the Pocket Full of Sunshine bag sparked some ideas, so now we have the Pocket Full of Rainbows! These 'pouches' are perfect for carrying around the beach or even events where a big handbag is just not feasible. I will be at a concert next weekend and I am seriously considering taking the Pocket Full of Rainbows with me because it's the perfect size for my phone and keys.

I think Woodland animals are adorable so I thought it would be fun to design some c2c blankets inspired by these cute little guys. You can stitch the four animals (Raccoon, Fox, Owl and Bear) together to create one larger afghan, use a larger hook size to make individual blankets, or, attach an individual graph to a dowel rod and hang it on the wall for some adorable wall art! Free pattern includes a downloadable PDF graph and written instructions.

You're going to love this gem enough to make a few for yourself and maybe even stash a few aside for gift giving later this year.

The Crochet California Wrap is here. This easy, beginner friendly wrap pattern uses a large hook and the front loop only technique to lend this gorgeous wrap its drape and flow. I love how the Crochet California Wrap turned out. These colors are so reminiscent of the area in California where I live. We have a lot of trees, but it's relatively dry which gives us plenty of dry dusty land with those golden hills. The second reason I choose this name is the lightweight nature of the wrap. Even in our hottest season the mornings can be cool and a light shawl for your shoulders is perfect.
