Pattern: Giant Granny Square cushion

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:

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.
  • The Ch 4 counts as 1 Dc and 1 Ch.

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!

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 have video help included! Just click the video link below and it will take you to my youtube channel.

Pattern: Chunky Crochet Blanket

I’ve been eyeing this super chunky yarn from Hobby Lobby for a loooong time. I really wanted to make a chunky crochet blanket for myself but could never get myself to buy all the yarn required. When I saw it go on sale for only 4.89 I decided to go for it! It took a total of 13 Ivory skeins and 2 grey. I know it can be difficult to force yourself to buy so much yarn at once but I promise it will be worth it! This is definitely the coziest blanket ever and the yarn is a dream to work with. SO soft!

Be sure to follow me on Instagram and tag me in your finished blankets so I can see! 🙂

Finished Size: 55″x65″

Pattern: The Butterbeer Pullover

Raise your hand if you love homespun yarn! Meee! I know a lot of my crochet friends dislike using homespun yarn because it can be a bit difficult to work with, especially if you are a beginner crocheter. I hope the Butterbeer Pullover pattern changes your mind if you are a homespun hater. 🙂 You can always substitute a different bulky yarn if you are totally against it, but I encourage you to give it a shot with homespun first!

Here are a couple of my tips on working with Lion Brand Homespun-

  • Keep your tension a bit loose! I know a lot of us have a habit of pulling our stitches down tight while crocheting. Don’t do this! One, it makes it harder to see the stitches and two, if you have to frog your work it will be difficult to pull out. You will also have a much harder time inserting your hook into the stitch and it may snag the yarn. So try and crochet with a nice even and “loose” tension.

  • Don’t rely on just your eyes for counting stitches. When you work with homespun yarn, the fluffiness of the yarn can make it difficult to see your stitches. I like to actually feel my stitches with my hands to help check my stitch count.

  • Start your work with a foundation row! My pullover pattern uses a foundation row for each panel. This not only gives your garment a bit more stretch and keeps the panel a uniform size but it also helps you keep your stitch count correct. When working with homespun I always find that the foundation chain and the first row gives the most trouble. It can be difficult to find where to insert your hook in the chain. If you use a foundation row it gets rid of this problem. I recommend THIS video/tutorial if you don’t already know how.

I’ve been getting a ton of requests for a pattern using the waistcoat stitch, so The Snow Cone Beanie is born!

I’m working on getting a youtube channel set up so I can have videos for all of you to go with my patterns…but for now, I’ll be linking you to videos created by others that I find helpful!

The yarn I used for this pattern is super chunky! Be sure you are using a yarn weight of at least 6. I recommend Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick if you don’t have any WAK on hand.

Pattern: Crochet Fringe Crop Top

I was recently requested to write up a pattern for a kids fringe crop top! Even though it’s only 50 degrees out today it’s hot in other parts of the world right?! 🙂 So the fringe crop top was born! I think it’s definitely a crochet pattern staple to have when you have little ones running around. It’s super cute for photo shoots or to just wear outside during the hot summer days. I included 3 different sizes but it is VERY easy to adjust even further if you need to. To make it wider, add more chains to the starting chain. To make it longer or shorter, add or take away rows.

Be sure to follow and tag me on Instagram (@evelynandpeter) with all your fringe crop top makes!

Materials:

  • Worsted (4) weight cotton yarn. 50-80 yards depending on size made. I used Paintbox cotton yarn.
  • 4.00mm crochet hook
  • Yarn needle
