This fun blanket pattern is geared to beginner crocheters looking to try larger designs. It’s a great introduction to working with colour changes and uses only basic stitches throughout. Because it’s a lap blanket, it’s not a huge project but still creates a cozy finished piece. If you’re an advanced crocheter, this blanket is a nice option for when you need a relaxing and simple project to work on.

I’ve created a handy crochet planner to help you keep track of all the important details needed for your project. Sometimes if we have many projects on the go or if we put one down for a while, it can be hard to remember what hook or yarn was used. Maybe you need to purchase another skein but can’t remember the dye lot or colourway. This planner can help!
You can use this print-out to write down all that information and then keep it with your project bag so you’ll always have it on hand. I have included two planners: one simple black/white version and one with colour and added graphics so you can save and print the one you prefer!

Today I’m sharing a really quick and fun ear warmer pattern that’s super easy to adjust in size. I made one for my tween bee using only about 40 yards of super bulky yarn. Because it’s made with such thick yarn, it not only works up fast but it’s SO cozy!

I love a one skein project, especially when the yarn is self striping. I had a single Caron Cake sitting on my yarn shelf and thought it would look great as a scarf made using a simple v-stitch. I chose to let the colour transition happen naturally but you might choose to cut and rejoin the yarn in a more natural place, such as the beginning of a row.
This pattern uses only one stitch throughout so it’s an easy one to put down and pick up again. My testers told me they found relaxing and enjoyable to work on which is always great in a project.

The iris stitch has a lovely lace appearance and is the featured stitch in this pattern. Made with worsted weight yarn, this mini bow works up so fast and is a really great way to work through some of those small balls of yarn you might have in your stash.
My testers made this bow in about 15-30 minutes so it’s definitely a quick make and can be an adorable addition when stitched onto other projects.
