I'm loving this scarf pattern. It is so easy to work up. I got the pattern from http://www.joann.com/easy-crochet-hat-scarf/P408271.html The possibilities are endless. I have done two different scarves and both I chose to use two colors and they turned out great. Give it a try.
I've been trying to come up with some quick and easy projects to do and made this handy little card holder. This would be the perfect card holder if you are planning on a night out that you don't want to have to carry that handbag or purse. It is just the right size to hold your ID and a credit card or two and slip into your pocket. You don't have to worry about them falling out either because it has the button closure. I will include the pattern for it as well, it is very simple to do.
Pattern:
Crochet hook: 6.00 mm
Ch12, hdc in 3rd ch from hook and across.
Ch2, turn, hdc across
Repeat ch2, turn, hdc across until you have 26 rows. Then fasten off weave in ends.
Fold over each end (about 4 or 5 rows at each side) sew sides together. Then I attached the yarn in the 4th stich over and sc in same stitch and next 3 stitches then ch1 and turn. SC across and repeat for 6 rows then ch1, SC in next 2 sriches ch2 skip next st then sc to end. Ch1 turn and sc across and repeat for 1 more row. Then fasten off. Attach a small button to corresponding hole.
I have wanted to make some slippers for quite some time, but just hadn't seen the pattern that caught my eye. Then I came across a video tutorial on YouTube for some sneaker slippers and I fell in love with them. The link to the video is https://youtu.be/dy4GlGnBN2M. She provides a basic tutorial so that you make a slipper, you just have to add or take away stitches depending on the size you would like. For mine I used a size G crochet hook and black and white red heart super saver yarn. I was able to make the exact same ones as her tutorial and they fit my feet. Then I decided to make some for my great-niece with red heart super saver yarn in turquoise and baby pink with a size G crochet hook and simply adjusted the stitch count so that they would fit her baby feet. :)
I have been playing around with different headband patterns trying to work them out where I can use the same design for different size headbands. I do believe I'm getting closer to figuring it out. I got the original pattern from http://www.leeleeknits.com/20-minute-free-crochet-headband-pattern-for-beginners/ it was a super easy pattern to work up, but I found that it was way to small when I worked it up. So I've made some adjustments to the pattern and the amount of chains I start with depends on the size of head I want it to fit and thanks to a chart I found posted on Facebook I am now well on my way to having headbands for all sizes.
So a few months back I seen this picture of a Captain America shield that was a blanket and I knew that I wanted to make one, but I didn't have the right yarn or hook. It calls for super bulky yarn and hook size N. Well I had decided I would wait to make it since I didn't have all the proper materials. I finally decided I was just going to make it anyway and use worsted weight (4) yarn and a J crochet hook. It didn't turn out near as big as it should have but I was okay with that because I made it into a pillow. I made two of the shields and then whip stitched them together then stuffed it with fiber fill. My son absolutely loves it and I'm glad I decided to go ahead and make it. I may be making another real soon for a Christmas gift.

I started making a charizard a few days ago. I had to use a different color because I didn't have the lead color or even a drk grey so I used black since it is for my husband and he was okay with that color. I have all the charizard pieces done, now I just have to find some wire that I can use to put inside him so his arms, tail, and wings will look right. Then I can start attaching all the parts. I got the pattern from this website http://www.miahandcrafter.com/atelier/charizard-pattern/
So if you are interested in making one check it out.
Well...I finally gave in and got Pokémon go on my phone so my son could play. So, it was fitting that I also make him a Pokémon ball.
Well...my husband had another idea for the kupa hat. So I made another one in red and they are now on the skulls!
I'm currently working on a Geometric Afgan. Country rose, black and white are the colors I'm using. I can't wait to see the finished product. Here is a sneak peek at what's to come. :)
So...my husband found this website that had a pattern for a Bowser Kupa sweater for a turtle and thought it was so cool. Well we don't have a turtle but I wanted to make it anyway because I knew we would find something to put it on. I now introduce you to my dog Freckles with the Bowser Kupa hat! Lol You can find the pattern at https://squirrelpicnic.com/2013/05/09/make-it-challenge-5-crochet-bowser-sweater-for-a-turtle/
I made a headband and I originally got the pattern from Beatrice Designs http://www.beatriceryandesigns.com/2015/10/17/whimsical-warmth-headband-free-crochet-pattern/ but it wasn't big enough so I made some adjustments to the pattern and it turned out just right.
This is a baby apron I made. I didn't make it for anyone in particular, I don't even remember where I found the pattern at for it but I thought it was cute and had to make one.
I finished my first viking hat and I would say my husband is quiet happy with it. I didn't have the colors I wanted to make it in so I just used what I had and will be making this again soon with the proper colors. I made this with one of Nadia's tutorials on YouTube. This is the link to the video

This baby mermaid outfit is absolutely adorable and was so easy to make. This is another pattern of Nadia's and I used her video tutorial on you tube to make it. The link to her video is https://youtu.be/o0gVjc0TrFk I initially planned on making this for my great-great niece but she was too big for it by the time I got done with it. I think this outfit would be perfect for an infant and be awesome for photo shoot.
This blanket was a creation of my own. My husband helped me work out how many squares I would need based on how big I wanted the blanket and how big I wanted the squares. The Mario and Luigi blankets consist of 266 squares each and they measure approximately 3ft x 4ft. Although they were initially being made as blankets, they are now being used as curtains in the two front windows of our house. We are gamers in our house too so it's a good fit. It's looks pretty cool...both from the inside and the outside when we have the blinds open. If you would like more information on how to make these, just leave a comment and I would be happy to help.
These are the first shorts I have tried to crochet. I was really unsure about making them because I have a tendency to crochet tight and unless I gauge it or change the hook size then they could turn out too small. These ended up being quite easy to make. I used a tutorial video on you tube from Colorsoflily, the link to her video is: https://youtu.be/52cGH1N6iNU
You will see that her video makes these shorts a easy project for anyone to do.
A couple weeks ago me and my family were heading to a cabin to go camping for 4 days. I was trying to come up with some different activities to do while we were there and my husband suggested bean bags or hacky sacks. So the search began for a hacky sack pattern. I found a pattern at
http://www.makeandtakes.com/easy-crochet-hacky-sack which was created by Heidi and showcased on this page. I found it really easy to read and it worked up fast. So fast in fact, I made eight of them for our trip. We got a lot of enjoyment from these hacky sacks.
