"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."

I turned my popular ‘Tulips from Holland’ square into a poncho!

Scroll down for my free crochet pattern and step by step video tutorial of the Tulip Square Poncho.

The firs of our flower ides, an afghan square pattern is easy, but just difficult enough to challenge the beginner and produces a beautiful motif that can be worked into an afghan, throw or blanket. The square is 9 inches to a side and is made in three shades of worsted weight yarn and an H hook. You can vary the size by changing the weight of the yarn, the hook size and yarn tension.

"I just love crochet patterns that look more complex then they are. That is definitely the case with the square bottom crochet tote bag. This bag starts with a simple solid granny square then in just a few rows of decreases you have a bag that is perfect for on the go. Do you ever have to dump out your entire purse to find your keys? This crochet tote will never hide your keys from you. You just lay the bag on a flat surface and it opens up nice and wide. Shuffle things around just a bit and you will be able to find anything you are looking for. "

I am calling this one Chunky-Like even though it uses worsted weight yarn, because on a preemie baby, worsted weight is going to appear large and chunky. I do not suggest using #5 chunky/bulky yarn for preemie hats. You'll also want to make sure you find a soft acrylic or cotton blend - do not use wool. Choose something that you know can withstand being machine washed and dried multiple times, because it most likely will be.
