This is a one-skein crochet shawl made from Lion Brand Shawl in a Cake yarn. It is a versatile pattern that can be worn in the winter or summer. Just pick the right colors for your season. Light and airy, you won't even know you are wearing this around your neck. It has an asymmetrical triangle shape that looks beautiful when draped. The shawl has an easy shaping that both experienced and beginner crocheters will enjoy.

If you haven't made a garment before, it's best to start with an easy pattern. The easy wear cardigan is simple to make and has a classic silhouette. Cardigans can seem intimidating, but if you find an easy pattern, you can crochet one in no time. This cardigan sweater has a boxy shape with ribbed banding around the bottom and neckline. And as far as cardigans for women go, this one is relatively simple. While the silhouette is classic, this crochet cardigan pattern uses a unique stitch. The crumpled griddle stitch is thick and textural. It really adds a special detail to this crochet sweater.

The wanderlust beanie is designed for those wild-at-heart individuals who feel called to explore, to travel, and to blaze new trails. I designed this hat with Lion Brand "Heartland" yarn making it soft and cozy, yet lightweight enough for summer evenings. Not only would this beanie serve you well on a camping or hiking trip, it would also make an excellent piece to donate to charitable organizations that provide hats for cancer patients. The stitch pattern in this beanie is fairly simple, making it an excellent crochet pattern for those who have mastered the basics (single, half-double, and double crochet), and want to play around with them in new ways.

This Retro Ring Trivet is a blast from the past. This free crochet pattern is made in remembrance of canning jar rings from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. It can be made in various sizes depending on how many rings you use. Plus, it's quick to work up and is also an excellent stash-buster project.

Mariposa was given its name by some of the amazing artists in my local knit and crochet group because they said the shawl looks like a butterfly. I really enjoyed creating Mariposa, it's an easy and fun pattern to make and the yarn is a joy to work with. Nurturing Fibres Eco-Fusion yarn is made in South Africa, and the American distributor, Good Loops Yarn, has given me a discount code for all of you! Just look in the pattern.

Of course, fantastic turtles don't have to be purely marine. Thus here are some with african flower crochet shells. How gorgeous is that?

This beginner granny square Christmas doily uses just one skein of yarn. Pair the easy crochet stitches used in a granny square with these pretty Holiday colors for a quick crochet project. Christmas is almost here and it's time to start thinking about what you're going to be giving your friends and family. One of the best gifts that I've found that people often don't think of, but really appreciate, are handmade items. A granny square is a popular crochet pattern that has been around for decades. It's used to create everything from afghans, clothing, and home decor items. This easy crochet project took me about 15 hours to make. So, if you have a few hours each day for a week, you can have this beauty done too.

I love creating crocheted scarves because they are so easy to make, they are also very quick to finish, and you can use them over and over! Since we're almost in spring, I created a lightweight spring infinity scarf that can be worn during spring time and even summer time. Is crocheted using a very fine crochet thread, but of course you can create it with bulky yard if you need something for fall or winter.
