Pattern: Chain-Link Crochet Beanie

It’s a new year which means a bunch of new free patterns on the blog! I have a lot of fun stuff in the works for you all and to start it off i’m posting this super chunky beanie! Now, this beanie is a tiny bit different because i’m using a stitch that’s not technically a real stitch, I guess you could say. You’ve heard of the Center single crochet or “waistcoat” stitch right? well this uses that stitch except it’s “extended”. I’ve just added one more yarn over in the stitch. Below are a couple of video tutorials for you to get a visual. I promise its super easy!

Don’t forget to PIN the beanie and tag me on Instagram with your makes! 🙂

Materials:

  • Super Bulky (6) Yarn. Pattern uses Lion Brand Hometown USA. 130 yards needed for adult size.
  • 9.00mm Crochet Hook
  • Yarn Needle
  • PomPom (optional)

Pattern: Plaid Pines Crochet Beanie

My Plaid About You Beanie and My Oso Plaid Beanie are 2 of my most popular patterns! I’ve had a lot of requests for more plaid design options and a pine tree was the top voted.  A deer head came in close second so maybe that will be my next one! Have you guys made either beanie yet? The fit of this beanie is a bit different than my others. I decided to make it fitted instead of slouchy and I love how it turned out. Be sure to tag me in your photos on instagram, I love to see your work!

Don’t forget to Pin to your pinterest boards!

Materials:

  • Worsted Weight (4) yarn. Pattern uses Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand. Yards needed- 160 yards (main color), 25 yards (black), 25 yards (green)
  • 5.00mm Crochet hook
  • Yarn needle
  • PomPom (optional)

Pattern: Cross-Back Crochet Top

I wanted something loose and comfy to throw on over a sports bra for coverage but didn’t want to be dying of heat! It’s 100 degrees in the summertime here in Utah so the Cross-Back Crochet Top worked out perfectly. I used Lion Brand 24/7 cotton but any cotton yarn will work. It works out perfectly for active wear but it would be super cute dressed up with a pair of jeans too! This pattern is super easy and uses Dc throughout. A larger hook is used for more of a loose fit so be sure to size up if you crochet with a tight tension.

Make sure you subscribe for more free patterns! Don’t forget to pin my pattern to your Pinterest boards as well! Follow me on Instagram and tag me with your finished work. I love sharing your makes!

Materials:

  • Worsted weight (4) yarn. Pattern uses Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton. Amount required- 315 (330, 350, 370, 400) Yards
  • 6.00mm Crochet Hook
  • Yarn Needle

Pattern: American Flag Pillow

I’ve had a lot of fun experimenting with Tunisian Crochet. One of my favorite stitches to use is the knit stitch. I absolutely love how it looks while incorporating color work! I used Bernat Maker Outdoor for this project and the yarn is amazing let me tell ya!! If you haven’t tried it yet, definitely give it a go! If you have never done Tunisian crochet, don’t worry!! I have video help included! Just click the video link below and it will take you to my youtube channel.

Be sure to follow and tag me on Instagram with your finished pillows so I can see!

Pattern: The French Moss Top

Hi everyone! Im SO excited to share with you guys the pattern for my French Moss Top! This is my very first Tunisian crochet pattern I am releasing so i’m a bit nervous. This was also my very first youtube tutorial! When Lion Brand Yarn contacted me to offer yarn support on a pattern, I decided I wanted to do something completely different. I wanted to challenge myself and do something outside of my comfort zone. I think I ended up doing exactly that! I found out through this process that I actually really liked recording my tutorial. It is a lot of work and more time consuming but it was also really fun. Im already starting my second video! It’s far from perfect and I have a lot to learn but thats how we grow right?!

I would love for you all to subscribe to my youtube channel for more videos! 

Follow and tag me on Instagram with all of your makes! I love seeing your work!

Materials:

  • 6.5mm Tunisian Crochet Hook

  • Dk (3) weight yarn. Pattern uses Vanna’s Style by Lion Brand. 485(525,590,630,675) Yards

  • Yarn Needle
