"I love a good cozy blanket. But wearing them out seems to be frowned upon. Which is basically what led me to come up with the Juno Shrug. A blanket I can wear in public. One of my great moments of genius if you ask me. It works up super quick with chunky yarn and is truly the coziest go to sweater in my closet. I keep another one in the car. I wear it all the time and get so many compliments and feel a little guilty knowing the origin is that I just wanted to be able to wear a blanket in public."

"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).

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?

"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

"Lovely, textured and long enough to wrap easily, Karen's Winter Scarf is the perfect winter accessory. There is a matching Twisted Headband pattern to go with this scarf too! I have included the stitch multiples to make it easy for you to change the size of the scarf if you would like. The scarf is worked lengthwise so you can make it wider simply by repeating the pattern rows until the width you want is reached. Thank you for joining us this year for our Scarf of the Month Club events :) Wishing you the best, Rhondda"

"This pretty and simple hat is just right for warmer months or for someone who doesn't want bulk. I made it with two strands of #10 crochet thread, but you could use any similar weight thread or yarn (consider #3 thread or light fingering yarn)! The stitch pattern is simple, light and airy which makes it a quick crochet too. This is a great hat to donate for cancer charities. Size: Adult sizes 21” - 23” head Designed in light fingering weight yarn or thread"
