I recently saw a picture of the side saddle stitch and wanted to try it! It’s a really gorgeous stitch and once you have it memorized its pretty straightforward. I decided to make a beanie out of it and will be adding it to my craft market stash! Here is a good video tutorial if you need a visual. The only difference is we are turning our work and working in the round instead of going back and fourth in rows.
Materials:
Worsted Weight Yarn, I used Loops & threads urban yarn in oatmeal.
5mm Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
So I’ve been obsessed with the puff stitch lately. It really is an easy stitch and once you get it down you can crank out a hat in no time. I’ve been making a bunch of these puff stitch beanies for my upcoming craft fair in October. This pattern is super versatile and is easy to work up in different sizes. I like to use worsted weight or bulky yarn to make them.
Materials:Â
-
5mm crochet hook
-
One skein worsted weight yarn. The Mustard hat pictured is
Urban Yarn by Loops & Threads and I LOVE it!

I recently made this super cute crochet pillow for my couch! It works up really fast and was a quick, fun project. I found the pattern from Jo-Anns!
I used two strands of Bernat Blanket Yarn in Vintage White.
See how soft and squishy…
Love the vintage white color against the grey couch.
They also have two more pillow patterns to go along with this one! Im thinking I’ll have to make them both for a matching set.
I ordered this pillow insert in size 18″ round and it fit perfectly.
If you decide to make one of the pillows be sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see!
So I’ve been obsessed with mandalas lately and had a bunch of cotton yarn I wanted to use so I made some cute mandala coasters! These are really fun and easy to make. I used a free pattern from Ravelry. Instead of making the entire mandala I stopped after round 4 and they are the perfect coaster size. I used Lily Sugar’n Cream Cotton yarn and just mixed the colors with each coaster.
Materials:Â
Lily Sugar’n cream cotton- 4 colors
Crochet hook size 2.5mm
yarn needle
I spent a lot of time crocheting newborn hats when I was pregnant with my second daughter. I wanted to share the super easy pattern! All 5 of these hats are the same pattern with different things added to them. You can see in the picture that the hat with the bear ears is a bit bigger because the yarn I used is a bit chunkier. I used bulky 6 for it and bulky 5 for the other four hats. So, I recommend using a 5 if your making for a newborn and 6 if its for an older baby.
