A while back, I wrote a blog post that describes three ways to felt your crochet and knit projects. Included in that post was a photo of a bright magenta clutch that I felted in the dryer. Here’s the pattern I used to create the clutch. Thanks to Mari Weber of Cali Crochet for kindly testing this pattern. Be sure to …

I have teamed up with my crochet buddy, Rhelena of Crochet N’ Crafts, to offer this free crochet photo pattern of my house cat, General Mew. You’ll find it exclusively on Rhelena’s site, ready for immediate download. It took me forever to capture the General in this photo as she likes to stretch out on the floor and expose her tummy …
Crochet lends itself well to a variety of uses, especially when it comes to dish cloths and wash cloths. There are so many patterns available online, it makes my head spin. But when you think about it, a dish/wash cloth is simply a square (or rectangle) crocheted in an interesting stitch pattern. The main challenge I’ve had in making them …
I decided to create a “practice” crochet photo pattern that’s even simpler to do than the Heart, Ladybug, and Big Butterfly patterns you’ll find among the free crochet photo patterns on this blog. This newest pattern is … yes … another butterfly. I love these delicate, little creatures! Despite its size (20 rows and 20 stitches), the pattern will give you all of …
Here in Hawaii, flip flops, or slippers as we call them, are the shoes of choice year round. Currently, I have three pairs to wear outside, and one pair for indoors. Most Hawaiian residents remove their shoes before entering a home, a custom we follow in ours. But I don’t always want to go around barefoot inside and will wear …

I started a search back in the spring for crocheted tops that would carry me through the summer. I wanted to crochet tops that were lacy enough to let a breeze through, but not too lacy that I’d have to wear something underneath them. …
Pinterest continues to be a wonderful source of ideas for crochet projects. In this instance, it’s the Granny Square Striped Bag, a free crochet pattern featured on the Japanese website, Gosyo. I figured I’d make it at some point, but wasn’t sure when. Then I visited my local yarn store, Aloha Yarn a month or so later and discovered that …
I’ve been thinking about switching from a wash cloth to a loofah for some time now, but the only ones I’ve seen for sale are the plastic ones, and they aren’t very appealing. Then I came across a free pattern for a crochet loofah on Pinterest called The Perfect Loofah and, of course, I had to try it. The Yarn …
I was shocked to hear that, in this day and age, there are still states in this country that do not protect a mother’s right to breastfeed her baby in public. And while most states do have laws on the books, few actually enforce them with punitive sanctions, which means women, like Nirvana Jeannette, are often harassed or otherwise discriminated …
I subscribe to a crochet newsletter called Hooked on Crochet, published by AllFreeCrochet.com. The site has compiled loads and loads of free crochet patterns from around the web, and the newsletter provides a sampling via a daily email. The only downside is that they send you ads for other products, but I just ignore these unless it’s something that interests …
An Intriguing Crochet Shrug Pattern I’ve been working on the vintage Circular Crochet Shrug that I talked about in a previous post. I mentioned how intrigued I was by the way in which it is constructed and figured it would be fairly simple to make. The shrug consists of two halves and is crocheted in the round, from the bottom …
