It’s time for another blog hop! I’m excited to be a part of the bunny blog hop with some very talented crochet designers. We have a whole bunch of fun and free, spring patterns coming to you this week! I had a bunch of Comfy Cotton yarn on hand and knew I wanted to design a bag with it. My goal was to make it easy and quick. This pattern uses 2 strands of yarn held together at the same time. You could also use a bigger weight yarn and hold just 1 strand too! The bag closes with a drawstring so you don’t have to worry about buttons or clasps. I hope you guys like it! Be sure to scroll down and see the other free patterns available!
Follow me on Instagram and tag me so I can share your work!
Materials:
- Light (3) weight cotton yarn, held double stranded. Approximately 300 yards. Pattern uses Lion Brand- Comfy Cotton
- 8.00mm Crochet Hook

Is it summer yet?! Nope, it’s not even spring yet. lol. I’m hoping that if I make all of the warm weather things it will force the sunshine to come. Let’s see if it works. 🙂 The Summer Nights Shawl is a super fun and quick make to work up while you’re netflixing. It’s a very easy mesh stitch with a simple repeat row. It’s worked up double stranded with the light and superfine yarn. If you don’t have both yarns available, I recommend using just a basic worsted weight yarn!
Be sure to follow me on Instagram and tag me with your finished shawl! I love to share your work with my followers. 🙂

Being a crochet pattern designer, I’ve been able to try a bunch of different amazing yarns. I recently was sent some New Wave Yarn from Wool And The Gang to try out. You guys. This yarn is awesome! Here is a couple of reasons why.
- It’s made from recycled plastic water bottles! Each ball of yarn contains 3 water bottles. How cool is that?!
- Its stretchy and squishy, which makes it a breeze to work with!
- Its light and soft which makes it perfect for garments and accessories (which are my fave!!)
- It comes in a bunch of gorgeous colors! My bag is made from Duck Egg Blue but Im also loving the Mellow Mauve.
- Its super easy to frog if you make a mistake! I missed a couple of stitches and had to pull out a row. No snagging or getting stuck!
- The size! This bag is BIG! I do have a tendency to crochet on the loose side but still.. even if you crochet tighter, this bag is a decent size!
The kit I was sent is called The Shoreline Bag. It has a total of 15 recycled plastic water bottles in it! The texture of the yarn is almost net-like if you look real close. It’s nice and airy, perfect for summer beach days. I love that by just making this bag, its helping to reduce waste and save the oceans. 😉
And if you are a knitter, you are in luck! They have a ton of cute knitting kits as well. Take a look here!
Will you be trying out some New Wave Yarn? 🙂
My friends over at Becozi sent me this really cool jumbo tube yarn! This is my first time using a yarn this big and I loved it. I ended up using my hands/arms to crochet the floor pouf instead of a hook. If you would rather use a hook instead, a 30.00mm size should work perfectly! This pouf works up super quickly…like 20 minutes quickly. It’s also easy to customize for a larger pouf. 🙂
Materials:
- Chunky Cotton Tube Yarn from Becozi
- 30.00mm Crochet Hook or larger if you can find one. (or 2 hands)
- Poly-Fil
After I made The Timber Pullover, I knew I had to make one for Petey too. The Timber Pup Pullover is here! Now, Im going to be honest. I haven’t made any dog clothing before so the sizing estimates on this are suuuuuper guesstimates. 🙂 I wrote this pattern a bit differently and made several suggestions on where you might need to alter the pattern. Don’t be scared to try it on your dog a million times to check sizing! Though if they are anything like my Petey boy, they wont be too happy about it lol!

When BeCozi sent me some of their super soft and cozy Chenille yarn, I knew I had to make something awesome with it! I know big chunky blankets are popular with this yarn but I wanted to do something a little bit different. I decided to go with a floor cushion for the girls to sit on (or who am I kidding…the dog to sleep on lol) but I didn’t want it to be basic and boring. I love granny squares so I knew I had to incorporate that into my design! I hope you guys enjoy the pattern.
Be sure to pin for later and tag me on Instagram so I can see your work!
Materials:
- Jumbo (7) weight yarn. Pattern uses 250 yards of Be Cozi- Chunky Chenille (8 skeins)
- 25mm Crochet hook
Notes:
- Cushion is made in 2 panels and slip stitched together.
- The front panel is a classic granny square. The back panel is double crochet rows.
- The Ch 3 at the beginning of each round and row counts as 1 Dc.
