After a few requests, I’m happy to share a new, larger version of my Suzette Hook Pouch! The original design (here) is perfectly lovely for stashing away a one to two hooks but there’s room for more in the larger version!
The pattern uses the same pretty suzette stitch and works wonderfully to keep your crochet hooks together in your project bag.

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.

The Cozy Stitch Scarf is here, just in time for the cool autumn weather and upcoming winter season. Made with bulky weight and faux fur yarn, it works up quickly with two simple stitches. Bulky yarn is always nice to work with because it usually works up fast due to the larger stitch size. It’s also super squishy and cozy!
This scarf has a beautiful drape and the faux fur accents on the end add a fun appearance. The length can be easily shortened or lengthened based on your preference by decreasing or increasing the row count.

The block stitch is a really fun and quick crochet stitch to work up. It’s fairly airy and open which can make a nice lightweight scarf and the eye catching appearance looks especially good in home decor pieces like table runners and placemats. The block stitch is also beautiful when used in blanket projects, especially if you’re switching colours between the DC and SC rows. As with many stitches, sometimes they might be familiar to people under a different name. You might have also seen this stitch referred to as the brick stitch although that term seems to be less common.
