"As the name suggests I have been inspired by the star shape for my textured crochet square. “Friends are like stars. You don't have to see them to know they are there.” I think friends are very much like stars. You only need to look up and they are there. Even on a cloudy night, you might not be able to see the stars but you know they are near watching over you. The granny square uses a combination of textured and lacy crochet stitches to create a beautiful square. It uses aran weight yarn and 6 mm hook."

"I love working up these sweet little bags! They can be used as a soap cozy (gift with a homemade soap or set of facial scrubbies!), a favor or candy pouch, or a small gift bag (gift with a new pair of earrings or gift bag!). I worked my cozy up in about 45 minutes, and used only a small amount of Lily Sugar n Cream yarn from my stash. I'm including a tip in the material notes section for carrying your yarn up."

"This crochet bag is a slightly different one from the "Inventive Bag" that I shared before. Someone else wanted a bag exactly as the Inventive bag but to be used as a messenger bag and with a larger size so I added a strap and more rows. In this one I didn't use back loop stitches, I made more rows so there are 20 for each color section. I cross stitched holding two yarns togethers instead of one, didn't sc around in the end each piece separately, I couldn't line it yet but It is fine as it is, I think. I also steam blocked it. And after that process I steam blocked every crochet product I find at home. I loved it. "

"What better way to celebrate the beauty of animals than through a cruelty-free crochet bag? Animal print is really big right now and I just love the look of being able to combine spots and stripes. Going with a faux animal print option is sustainable and environmentally friendly. Plus, your friends will love you more for not killing a tiger for the stripes. I hope this unique animal print bag not only is an awesome accessory in your closet, but a great way to celebrate the beauty of animals without harming them. "

"The Coastal Sun Crochet Beach Tote Bag is a fast and fun project. Crochet this easy tote bag for everyday use or even for a beach day. Create stripes using your scrap yarn or crochet it in solid colors. This beginner friendly crochet beach tote pattern is worked bottom up, in the round with 100% cotton yarn. Although, acrylic yarn is suitable as well. These crochet bags make great gifts that are beautiful and useful for everyone."

"Raise your hand if you love grocery shopping. Now, if you have your hand raised, can you go ahead and do my shopping too? I chuckle a little here because I'm not a fan of grocery shopping. Maybe with this Crochet Boho Grocery Bag, I would be a bit more excited to pick up fresh foods. Browsing the aisles when I don't have a huge list is enjoyable. Like when it's just for fun and a few snacks. This grocery bag is just perfect for small items."

"Each round has a different color. You can use the same color sequence as mine or you can use pastels. I wanted mine to be colorful and vibrant. I didn't put a lining in it. After finishing with all the sewing and putting together start right under the zipper and sc around evenly around. This bag is made with a fingering light yarn and size 1.5 mm hook. For other gorgeous cases, purses and bags visit my blog."

"Materials: Hook: US H/8 5.00mm 1 Sew-on Snap Yarn Total: 2oz/50g, 97m/106 yds Medium 4 yarn Main Color (MC): 1oz/25g, 48.5m/53yds Color 2 (C2): .5 oz/14.5g, 24m/27yds Color 3 (C2): .5 oz/14.5g, 24m/27yds Optional: 3 Stitch Markers SIZE Finished Size: 9” length x 5.5” high GAUGE 2”x2”: 9st x 12 row PATTERN NOTES I used Caron Cotton Cakes, (MC) Silver Cloud, (C2) Watermelon, (C3) Cream. If you want less ends to weave and snip, crochet over all ends. Use stitch markers in each [2SC]. This is to ensure you are getting a triangular shape for the cover flap"

"This is a quick and easy floral gift card holder that also works great as a tea bag pocket. It's worked in a small amount of yarn making it perfect for those scraps in your stash! You can also use it to gift many things like a couple Ghirardelli chocolate squares, a stick or two of biscotti, or even non-foodie gifts like a pair of earrings on a card or small floral picks. To make your own, you'll need 30 yards of worsted weight yarn - I used Knit Picks Dishie, but any worsted weight yarn will work (though acrylic may produce a slightly larger flower). For reference, this one took me just over 45 minutes to complete. It's worked in simple single crochets and double crochets so a great project for a confident beginner."
