I’m so happy to share my new free crochet pattern with you today. This motif is called the Between the Stitch Square and works up in about 30-40 minutes. It would look lovely on it’s own as a mounted home decor piece. You could also make some out of cotton yarn for a beautiful coaster set or, crochet a whole bunch to make a blanket. There are endless possibilities with motifs and I hope you’ll feel inspired to make your own.

Originally written and made using bulky weight yarn, as of March 22, 2023 this pattern has received a refreshing update made with worsted weight.

Let’s crochet the Between the Stitch Square….

I’m excited to share my first crochet mandala pattern with you! I was inspired to write this particular design when I was sitting down with my morning coffee.

Mandalas are such lovely and relaxing projects that it really seemed like the perfect morning project. It takes about 30 minutes to make so you can enjoy a hot coffee or tea while crocheting a beautiful and simple piece.

This tip was one I learned about early on and is something that has been rather helpful in storing my yarn. Winding yarn into balls or cakes is something that most crocheters do. Whether for storage, to prep before a project or to organize scrap yarn or leftover skeins.
