"This gorgeous, chunky crochet poncho works up quickly with a giant Q/16mm crochet hook and super bulky (6) yarn. The light, fluffy texture of boucle yarn crocheted with a jumbo hook feels like wearing a cloud! Perfect as a cardigan for church, or wrap one of the front panels around your neck for those chilly beach walks. This piece also looks amazing with a chunky leather belt, for a chic bohemian look. You will need to be familiar with foundation double crochet, as well as my special Dc5tog decreases. (The instructions are written out, and I'm working on a chart and photo tutorial for you visual learners!) Once you get the hang of those, the pattern really isn't too tricky!"

"The body is made of the filet stitch and the arms are made of double crochet. The body is made by starting with ribbing and working up with filet stitch. The breaks are then made to split the back and the two front panels. The arms are started with ribbing and worked up. The shoulder is seamed and then the arms are seamed and sewn on to the body."Pattern is written as XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X).

"Fall is finally here along with some amazing new Fall patterns. One of the patterns that stands out the most this season is this beautiful shrug sweater. The design is really creative. You can start by crocheting a basic rectangle. With some strategically placed seams, this simple shape turns into a beautifully draped shrug. It's flattering and cozy, and perfect for strolling amongst the changing leaves. One of my favorite details on this cozy sweater is the use of the delicate spider stitch. The whole base of the sweater is crocheted using it, and is surrounded by a subtle border."

Continuing, this shamrock project is a little, undemanding applique that will be great to place on other items. Why not “Irish up” some of your existing projects and consequently give them a fresh look?

"This is a very quick, one-ball project. It is a great project for a beginner because the stitch pattern is easy to memorize.

This project is made in Be So Easy Yarn, #5 bulky weight, 100% milk cotton yarn. It is available in 25 colors exclusively at Kristin's website."

"I had so much fun designing the Bridgeport Chunky Cowl and making it. I created a fun pattern by turning the work after the base row and then creating texture on either side of the color pop. It is definitely an adventure and you will love making it. It is a cozy winter season cowl that will surely keep you warm. Use your favorite color combinations for a unique looking cowl that has great pops of color."

"I love cosying up on a chilly day and there is nothing cosier than a long, warm scarf wrapped around you! Crochet this simple, long scarf using only single crochet and chain stitches. Perfect for beginners or if you are looking for a simple but stylish project. Using a chunky yarn, a larger hook size and with a combination of chains and skipped stitches, this pattern makes a warm, airy scarf that has lots of lovely drape. The acrylic yarn chosen is inexpensive but beautifully soft and fluffy."

Who said a crocheted scarf has to be boring? With this free crochet pattern, you can create a simple but elegant scarf for everyone in your family. Choose two contrasting colors for this pattern, as the scarf is topped with an outline that will stand out. The result is a splash of color that gives a unique and unexpected twist on the standard handmade scarf. In addition, the crochet scarf pattern allows you to crochet as much or as little as you'd like, so you can create just the right length that will fit the recipient perfectly

"The Pinerolo Cowl crochet free pattern uses just one skein of yarn. This cozy cowl features a basketweave style texture. Keep your neck warm and toasty in this cowl that's worked in the round. If you're familiar with post stitches then this crochet cowl is really a simple pattern. If these are new to you, I've included the tutorial links below. I chose Lion Brand Jeans yarn for this free crochet cowl pattern. This yarn is so soft and I love the “jeans” colors."
