It's that time of year again! The snow is melting (albeit more slowly than I'd like), the birds are starting to sing again, and the days are getting longer. All of these signs also mean that it's time for spring cleaning! Time to clean up and organize the clutter that's accumulated during the long winter months. There's one particular space that I'm constantly having to de-clutter… the pantry. More specifically, the mountains of plastic grocery bags that seem to multiply on their own. The Moroccan Grocery Bag Holder is the perfect crochet solution!

Hazel's Market Bag came to me because I was in need of a simple bag that would carry a lot of stuff, but that wouldn't just be a gigantic bag if it were mostly empty. This bag sort of stretches to carry what is needed, but then springs back when not weighed down. I love it and I have many of them around the house. We use them for the farmer's market buys, library books, and as church bags. I've made many for gifts, and sold even more.

This feeling flirty lacy shell shawl is so light and delicate. Work this crochet pattern from the bottom up. Start with one shell and continue adding a shell to each side as you work up. Since this is made from a yarn cake that has beautiful, variegated colors throughout, there were just two yarn ends to weave in at the end. This lacy shell stitch is achieved by repeating two rows throughout this pattern. One row consists of chain and single crochet stitches. The next row is where the shell is made by working a double crochet in the same stitch five times. I have included photos of the first few rows to help with understanding the pattern. Additionally, there are video tutorials for both left and right hand crocheters. Lastly, there is a chart detailing the row being worked and number of shell stitches per row.

This is a simple set, worked with scraps of yarn. The dish cloth and dish towel are worked in the same stitch pattern with a slight variation for a subtle change in texture and thickness. The trivet is a basic granny square with a couple of simple changes. All three pieces work together or individually and are a great way to use up small amounts of yarn. They make great hostess gifts or holiday stocking stuffers too! Size is approximately: Dish cloth 8” square Dish towel 10” x 14” Granny Trivet 7” square

Create this gorgeous puff tote bag! This bag works up quickly and uses 7, 2.5 oz of 100% cotton yarn. I used Lily Sugar'n Cream yarn in 7 colors. Each skein will be enough to complete each color sequence on both sides with a little bit left over. You will crochet directly into the zipper for this project (this part is super easy!). Just poke into the zipper with an awl or sharp thicker needle and insert your crochet hook in the hole and crochet as usual. You will work both sides then sc pieces together with an outter seam. The finished bag measures 21″ wide and 14″ tall. You can add a lining if you plan on using the bag for smaller items, for larger items the bag will be fine as is. Enjoy the free pattern!
