The latest on crochet, yarn, and the many places in between.
Although spring is still a few weeks away, that isn’t stopping me from being inspired by the colours and flowers that the warmer weather brings. I love winter…but sometimes a bright pop of colour is a nice thing to see when everything is all grey, white and chilly. This quick and easy pattern works up quickly and is perfect project for when you don’t have much time to crochet.

They look wonderful in bright bold colours or calm soft shades.

Using the beautiful “Eden” colourway of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick, I’ve combined a mix of the bobble stitch and suzette stitch to create the Bulky Bobble Neck Warmer. Because of the hook size and thickness of the yarn it worked up in no time at all!

I love to crochet hexagons. Like a granny square, they are versatile, can easy be customized and they’re fun to make. Hexies are also a great stash buster project because when it’s small, each round uses very little yarn.
