Say hello to the “I Love Reading” crochet bookmark. Made with DK weight yarn and a 3.5mm hook, this elegant and pretty project is fun and useful. Pair this bookmark with a bookstore gift card for a thoughtful gift idea or add a few in different colours for a unique addition to your market table.

Super Bulky yarn makes such cozy projects and because it’s thick, it typically works up quickly and shows off some amazing texture. I’ve been trying to be mindful of my yarn stash, not adding to it and using up what’s already available to me. I found some skeins of Bernat Softee Chunky on my shelf, grabbed two and went to work to see what I could come up with. The result is a simple neck warmer pattern that would definitely keep you warm and toasty or would make a thoughtful gift for a friend or family member.

Today we are making another practical project, one that works for a variety of occasions. These dish scrubbers are made using worsted weight cotton yarn and worsted weight scrubby yarn. Add them to your market table, or pair them with some cute dishcloths for a house-warming gift. Of course, you can make them for your own use in your favourite colours to match your kitchen.

How cute are these drawstring pouches? It’s beginner friendly and perfect for storing craft notions, trinkets and game pieces (just to name a few ideas). You can use your favourite worsted weight yarn in either one colour or two to add a personalized touch.

Today I’m going to show you how to make a classic Christmas wreath ornament. By crocheting two “curly cue’s” and twisting them around each other, it makes a fun effect that creates a wreath when the ends are joined together. Like the granny square, this style of ornament has been around for a very long time with different variations and tutorials.

You only need to know how to chain and make the half double crochet stitch so this is a fairly beginner friendly project. These wreaths are a cute addition to your holiday tree or even as an accent when attached to a gift bag. Learn how to crochet this classic ornament below…

Do you have one skein of Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick sitting on your shelf? I have a very quick and very easy neck warmer pattern just for you! It’s a simple one stitch row repeat throughout (after the beginning chain of course) and because you’re working with a super bulky yarn, it’s a really great project if you need a gift or a cozy wearable at the last minute.

Using the extended single crochet stitch, this neck warmer will help to keep the chill away while also maintaining a lovely drape and stretch.

Crochet this adorable Valentine themed ornament with a few yards of worsted weight yarn in your favourite colours. Perfect to hang as decoration or as a cute tag on a gift, this project is a wonderful stash buster idea.

You might recognize the little heart which I recently shared the pattern for here on my website. When I was playing around with some ideas, I thought it would look really sweet added onto a simple ornament.

These crochet hearts are so cute and super quick to make. They would be an especially adorable addition when used as an applique to add some Valentines vibes to your February projects. I made my versions with worsted weight yarn but you could have some fun making different sizes in other yarn weights too!

And when I say these are quick to make, they really are! I made one in only a few minutes. Learn how to crochet these sweet little hearts below…
