"This poncho reminds me of the ocean waves. The wave stitch and the beautiful blue compliment each other so well in this gorgeous lacy poncho. The poncho is constructed from 2 rectangles seamed at the shoulder. The Pineapple stitch hem is far easier to work than it looks and adds the perfect accent. Lightweight and airy, this will be your favorite layering piece for the upcoming summer and spring. Make one to add to your wardrobe."
"Create this stunning triangular bag with this easier-than-you-think crochet pattern. A stitch pattern of sc and dc is easy to remember and creates a dense fabric with texture. By creatively folding a simple rectangle you magically start to form this tote. This project is perfect for keeping fingers busy while still being able to talk and watch TV. This statement bag measures 16” wide by 18” tall and makes a great tote or project bag. Made with a 4.00mm (US G) crochet hook and Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton yarn in two colors. Two skeins of each color are needed."
Hooded sweatshirts don't have to be something you only wear to sports games--they can be cute and girly too! This pullover looks great with a solid t-shirt underneath, and you can even dress it up.
"I have been having so much fun creating new bags and accessories using the Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie cotton I was recently gifted. It is really a durable and lovely category 4 fiber. I made this market tote bag - which quite easily serves as a beach bag as well. You can make the strap as long or short as you like. Since I go to the pool or beach more than the market, I opted for a longer strap to carry my towel and sundries. I hope you love this pattern and make yourself the perfect market / beach tote. "
"If you're looking for feminine crochet garment for spring and summer to keep your shoulders warm, Nalu Crochet Shrug is everything you've been wishing for! This shrug is basically made from just one rectangle and then seamed to create the armhole openings. Although this pattern is one size, you are easily able to customize all measurements of this crochet shrug. It has a beautiful lacy stitch pattern and works up very quickly. This is a great pattern for an experienced beginner who is ready to give lace crocheting a try."
This Crochet Market Bag would be great for shopping at the grocery store or farmer's market, carrying other crochet projects or going to the pool. Basic crochet stiches - single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet stitches are all you need to know to make this Market Bag. The instructions have detailed directions for crocheting the handle. The bag measures approximately 16" x 9” (not including the handles). The handles are short and sturdy. Some shoulder straps really stretch and almost make the bag unusable, so I created this bag to be a ‘handbag' and not a shoulder bag.
"This beautiful tapestry crochet drawstring bag with a cat is what every cat lover should have. It is a very quick project and it is great for practicing tapestry crochet. The pattern includes a written pattern, a color chart and detailed photo instructions showing how to make this cute bag, so you could try it even if you are not familiar with tapestry crochet. This bag could also be a very nice and original gift to your friend or a family member!"
"This bucket crochet bag was designed initially for I Like Crochet magazine for the Chevron Collection issue. I wanted the colors to be somewhat neutrals, so I chose jute as the main color and added light pink and white to add some color and interest into the bag. The pattern is worked in the round from the bottom to the top. At the top of the bag, we create eyelets to add a drawstring and a dainty metal strap is added to the bag (you can also use a fabric strap). The bag is comfortable and light, but big enough to carry all your essentials."
"I have switched over to reusable bags to cut down on the use of plastic bags, so I came up with this pattern using the classic granny stitch. I am happy to provide this pattern free on my website.This pattern is for an 11” x 13” fun, summery market bag. You can never have enough of these! I keep some in my car for all of my shopping trips. The pattern is easily adjustable to make the bag any size you want."
