Looking for an easy tote bag pattern? Then The Lucy Tote crochet pattern is perfect for you! This tote bag is worked from the bottom up, in the round. It comes together quickly since you will be using bulky weight tape yarn!
If you haven’t used Lionbrand Rewind yarn yet, then you are in for a treat! It’s sooo soft and creates a sturdy fabric when worked up! There is no snagging because of the flat tape style and it’s super easy to frog if needed! I used under 2 skeins in the Elm color and 1 in Willow! They have several different really pretty color options though if you want to check it out!
I also wanted to point out that the straps can totally be made longer if you want! I put a little note within the pattern on where and how to do this. When designing the bag I was going back and forth with the strap length. When I asked TikTok what I should to the majority of people said to keep the straps the length I had them! But I wanted to make sure those who prefer longer straps would have that option as well!
My last pattern of the year is here! The Sunset Bomber is a fun make using bulky yarn with a beautiful outcome! I love when a pattern works up quickly and this one does just that! I wanted more of a jacket look for this design and am super happy how it turned out!
The Sunset Bomber is worked in separate panels from the bottom up. Now, you will be using 2 different sized hooks for this pattern so make sure you switch when you are supposed to! The smaller hook is used in the ribbing and the larger hook is used in the main body of all the panels.
The stitch repeat in this pattern is very simple. Just single crochet, Ch 1, Sk 1! Your single crochets will be worked in the single crochet from the row below and you will always ch 1 and Sk 1 over the Ch from the row below!

This is a new one for me and I hope you guys like it as much as I do! I’ve never made a hooded cowl before but it has definitely always been something on my “must design” list. I drew some inspo from the classic granny stitch and combined it with some retro looking colors! It’ll keep you super warm and cozy that’s for sure!
This design is worked from the bottom up! For the cowl portion you will work in turned rounds using the granny stripe stitch. Once you reach the hood portion you will work in turned rows. I recommend cutting and joining your yarn for the cowl. When you reach the hood, no need to cut your yarn. Just pick it up the side when you need to switch colors. The trim to the hood is added last. Make sure you thread your drawstring as you go to make it easier on yourself!
I used Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling yarn for my Into The Woods Cowl. They have some really nice color options too! If you purchase the Lion Brand kit you can switch out your color choices! The kit also comes with a complimentary digital download of my pattern!
The North Winds Set is here! I’m thinking It’s going to be great for Christmas gifts this year. Beginner friendly and fast to make but also kept my interest throughout with the subtle stitch changes!
The striping on the scarf and beanie are my favorite part. And believe it or not, I had almost no ends to weave in when I was finished! Every time I had a color change for the scarf I cut the yarn, tied a knot and worked my stitches directly over the ends. This worked out amazingly and I’m so glad I did it so I had wayyy less ends to weave when I was done!
Heartland yarn is one of my favorites and It’s what I used for both patterns! The yardage listed below is enough to make at least 1 hat and 1 beanie, including a pom and fringe!
I’ve been keeping Leo The Spider a secret since the first week of July. It’s finally October and I get to share him with you! I’m not normally huge into Halloween decorations but Leo The Spider is definitely one I can get behind.
If there was ever a cute and cuddly spider then Leo is totally it. His fluffy fur and cute little eyes are more sweet than spooky. All 3 of my girls have been trying to claim him as their own but I think he will stay in my office as my little buddy. haha.
I used Lion Brand fur yarn for the body and some blanket yarn for the legs! The body is made in one piece and the legs are made by crocheting 4 tubes! There is no sewing at all for this giant amigurumi which is my favorite part! He works up so quickly and was really fun to make. Don’t be scared to use the fluffy yarn, you can easily feel the stitches with your fingers and the body is worked in continuous rounds with a stitch marker so it’s easy to keep track!
I have a full video tutorial available of Leo if you need some extra help! Be sure to check it out and subscribe to my channel for more free patterns! All of the supplies I used are available at JOANN and are linked below!
Do you like crocheting quick and easy blankets? I do! They are one of my favorite things to do when I want a mindless project to work on. The Thistle Throw is the perfect size so that it doesn’t take too long to finish but it’s still looks great thrown on the back of a couch!
The Thistle Throw is worked from the bottom up, with a fun row repeat! It’s made entirely of double crochet and chain stitches, so it’s perfect for beginners.
The Vel-Luxe yarn is super soft and easy to work with. I used the Dusty Pink color and think it’s beautiful! They have lots of other colors to chose from as well.
I know that you guys have been loving the video tutorials that i’ve been including with my new designs and The Thistle Throw has one too! I’ll walk you through step by step on how to make the blanket, the border and the tassels! Be sure to check it out and subscribe!
Did I just make my favorite crochet bag ever?? Yup! The Aspen Loop Bag crochet pattern is here! It’s worked up in one large piece and then seamed up the sides to form the bag! The trim and loop handle are added last.
I used the Feather stitch for The Aspen Loop Bag! I saw this stitch a while back and have been keeping it in the back of my mind for the perfect project. I’m so glad I decided to use it for this bag! Once you get the stitch down this pattern is a breeze. You’ll just be repeating the Feather stitch over and over! I know this stitch is probably a new one for most of you so I even made a full VIDEO tutorial! I’ll walk you through step by step on making your bag!
24/7 Cotton is the perfect yarn for this project. Nice and sturdy but not rough on the hands! There is also so many different color options for it. If you switch out the yarn I still recommend trying to use some sort of sturdy cotton!

I’m back again with another summer design! This time I made a square neck style tank top with Coboo yarn called The Twist Of Summer Tank! This design is definitely beginner friendly and a very easy make. I used the Lemon Peel stitch to work up the main body of this top. I love the beautiful texture this stitch creates, it’s one of my all time favorites! You might recognize it from my Harvest Pullover!
The Twist Of Summer Tank is worked up in 2 panels from the bottom up. You will create the ribbing first and then rotate to work the main body. Each panel is exactly the same. Next we will sew the panels together, add a quick trim and then crochet the straps!
It’s also super customizable. You can easily add some rows to make it a longer length top or remove rows for a more cropped look! Just adjust the length before tying off your panels.
Have you ever crocheted a cardigan in one piece from side to side before? I’ve done a few different designs like this and I’m super excited to introduce The Windfall Cardigan which is made the same way! One of the great things about it is very minimal seaming. There is only one small section on both sides of the cardigan that you need to seam!
I used Lion Brand Nuboo yarn to make this cardigan but I think it would also look great in a cotton yarn! The Nuboo is very silky and smooth. It is similar to Truboo with a bit more of a bounce and a little bit thicker! Can’t find any Nuboo or want to use a different yarn? Check out Yarnsub.com and enter in “Nuboo” in the search. It will bring up a ton of different yarn substitutions for you to choose from.
I have a full video tutorial available for this cardigan. If at any point you get confused or stuck I recommend checking out the video to see if I answer your question there! If you find it helpful I would be so grateful for a thumbs up and subscribe!
With the warm weather finally here, I’ve been wanting to make all the summer cardigans! I love working with open lace type stitches. Not only do they look super cute but they usually work up really quickly too. The Zahora Cardigan checks off both of these boxes!
I always aim for my designs to be beginner friendly and this one is no different. You will be creating 3 panels and working from the bottom up. Don’t let the picot stitches scare you! It actually goes really quickly. This cardigan is also easily customized. If you want your cardigan longer just be sure to add more rows in multiples of 2 before tying off your panel. Be sure you add the same amount of rows to each panel. If you want a more oversized look, just size up.
I love throwing on my Zahora Cardigan with any summer outfit. I think it looks super cute with jean shorts and a tee but would also be adorable over a summer dress. If I have time I’m totally going to make a longer version to wear over my bikini at the pool this summer!
