Crochet bags are a fun project to make. Not only are they practical but they’re easy to customize in ways of colour choices and fit with the strap and size. Today I would like to introduce the Lemon Stripes bag, the latest free crochet pattern on my blog.
Are you a fan of the suzette stitch? It’s one of my favourites to use within patterns and such a great way to expand on the basic stitches. If you can make the single crochet and double crochet, you can do the suzette stitch!
This fun scarf pattern makes use of colour blocking for a fun and eye catching design. The striped sections are a great opportunity to use up leftover skeins from your stash! Which colours would you use?

Crochet coasters are always a fun, quick and practical project to make. Whether they’re being added to a market table, given as a gift or simply made for yourself, coasters are easily customizable in colours for added personal touches. They also don’t have to be used as a traditional coaster. These projects can be used under plant pots to help protect your table tops from getting scratched.
With only 5 rounds and approximately 18 yards of worsted weight cotton yarn, these are great stash buster ideas as well. Learn how to make the Picot Points Coaster below…
Free crochet pattern coming your way! Although it’s August and we’ve had some recent heat waves, I can feel the mornings changing. That cool, crisp and refreshing air early in the morning as autumn begins to creep in. I absolutely love it. Summer is lovely but it’s never been my favourite. Autumn is a time of change, all things cozy and the perfect opportunity to dig out my cardigans and box of handmade scarves.
Inspired by the recent cool mornings, the Loops and Ridges scarf came about quite naturally as I was playing around with stitch combinations. This scarf is full of texture and cozy with a simple but fun sectioned repeat. I used WeCrochet Heatherly in the beautiful “Sweet Bing” colourway to make this lovely and eye catching project.
You can make your own version with the free pattern below…
How sweet is this Tiny Cute Crochet Pumpkin?They take no time at all (only about 20 minutes) and work up so simply using a simple single crochet stitch. I love them so much think they’re the sweetest! Hang them from bunting, add them as a cute item to your fall market table or display them around your house as a fun conversation starter.
Crochet wrap patterns are a nice medium sized project. Not too small but not as large as a blanket so they seem to work up a little faster. If you’re a beginner looking to expand out in some fun ways with the basic stitches, this pattern would be great for you! Simple striped rows combined with a fun V-Stitch middle creates a colourful and cozy wrap for you enjoy.
Grab some bright, bold summer shades of worsted cotton and your favourite 4mm crochet hook to make these fun stash buster sunglasses pouches. It’s made by crocheting a simple square followed by a single fold and a quick seam. Crochet one in a solid colour or add some fun stripes for a vibrant colour-block look.
I love a quick and easy crochet pattern, don’t you? These sweet little flowers take 15 minutes to make and use such a small amount of yarn. Originally published for free in my Ravelry shop back in 2019, I have finally had an opportunity to spruce up the pattern and take some new photos! These motifs are great little accents to add to other projects. Bags, blankets, hats…you could even use them for a spring or summer themed bunting. How cute!

Have you made a crochet mug rug before? Designed to look like a miniature rug, it’s usually rectangle in shape instead of a traditional round coaster. They’re often slightly bigger and can include fun little details like tapestry work or tassels.
Today I’m sharing my version of a crochet mug rug, made larger and divided by bobbles into two sections: one spot to place your tea/coffee and the other side to rest your spoon. Because this project is made from cotton, it’s easy to wash when needed.
Quite often, memories are made while sitting around a table. Sipping a tea or coffee, enjoying a meal together or simply having some conversations with family and friends. The Happy Gatherings Table Runner was inspired by those get-togethers, sharing in joyful times during the holidays or a casual visit with loved ones.
This crochet pattern uses worsted weight cotton yarn and is a simple row repeat allowing you to adjust the length to suit your table.
