"The Sage Phone Pouch is a quick and easy beginner-friendly crochet pattern that is not only fun to make, but useful too! It serves as a protective cover for your mobile device, or as a handy bag for small items. This cute yet simple design features a strap that loops around a button to keep the content of the pouch safe from falling out. The size for this pattern is easily adjustable with written instructional tips, so it can be made into a custom fit case for any device, like a smartphone, iPad or tablet, Kindle, book, or even a laptop! It can also be customized by changing yarn colors or using a fancy button to create a unique look. This cozy is the perfect project to make as a thank you or appreciation gift, a birthday present, or for selling at craft fairs!"

"This Knit-Like Pouch is a free crochet pattern on my website. It is much easier to crochet than it might look. And yes it's crocheted with the waistcoat stitch, which is also known as the crochet knit stitch. Add a little button to the front and the pattern is complete for you to enjoy as your notions or accessory (or nicknacks) pouch. With this design, I will teach you how to crochet the beautiful waistcoat stitch."

"This raffia yarn inspired purse project is beginner friendly and doesn't require a lot of fancy hardware etc. If you aren't familiar with raffia yarn, it's made from the viscose fiber from trees. It's very durable, light, resistant to water and it has a beautiful texture for crochet. This purse tutorial included options for making your own strap, and adding your own lining. It's all made as simple as possible with a step by step photo and video tutorial as well as a written pattern"

Now that the gifting season is soon approaching, I wanted to design something that appeals to the younger crowd. I designed these cases to suit my android devices but they can easily be customized for an iPhone or iPad. I chose Lily Sugar n Cream as it is 100% cotton and gives great stitch definition. The stitch used in this crochet pattern is a simple variation of the single crochet which surprisingly looks like a simple star stitch. You can use the free pattern to make matching cases for your phones and tablets. I hope you will enjoy working on this pattern.

"Enjoy this free crochet bag pattern - The Summer Stripes Crochet Beach Bag by HanJan Crochet. A great beginners crochet bag that is easy to make and great to use. The bag uses a half herringbone stitch which gives the most beautiful texture to the crochet beach bag making it seem both classic and modern in design. The stripes are the perfect way to personalise your bag and I can see this in so many different combinations making it perfect for you. This beginners crochet bag is made in just one piece so there's no seaming or shaping to do at all."

Bernie's Mittens - Mittens inspired by those Bernie Sanders wore at Joe Biden's Inauguration on January 20, 2021. Bernie's own mittens were made by Jen Ellis, a Vermont schoolteacher who sewed them from patches of old wool sweaters. These are a little different as they repeat the same colorwork motif around the hand, while Sanders' mittens featured contrasting thumb and black fabric across the palm.
