Speedy Scarf- FREE Crochet Pattern

The Speedy Scarf uses just under 1 ball of Lion Brand Mandala yarn and a 6.5mm crochet hook. If you've never used the Triple Stranding Technique, are you in for a treat today! I love this method to convert thin yarn into thicker yarn without needing to hold 3 skeins or partial skeins together. The Speedy Scarf pattern is forever free here on the blog, but if you prefer an ad-free experience with color step-by-step photos, you can choose to purchase the PDF below.

You can choose any colors you would like to make your own Throwback Throw Blanket. You'll want to make sure you have enough of one color to join all of your pieces with the Double Crochet Join method.

Helena Handbasket- FREE Crochet Pattern

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Hell in a handbasket"? Its a pretty old saying, I'm not really sure the origins and I'm frankly too lazy to look it up, but every time I have heard someone use it, they seem to be describing a series of events where things just get suckier and suckier. Funny thing about this design- everything about it sent sideways from the very beginning when I was waiting for my yarn babies to arrive. My bag looks like a friggin' basket. A handbag basket. Hand...basket. Wait, what was that phrase? Hell in a handbasket. Pretty much exactly what my entire experience was with this design.

Pattern Release: the Happenin’ Headbandana

I am delighted to share the Happenin' Headbandana crochet pattern with you today. One thing I have come to hate about crocheted headbands is that they stretch out during the day and fail to keep your hair secure. To combat this, I use a hairtie at the base of the headband and make my project a bit too small for my head.

Pattern Release: Harley’s Gambol Prayer Shawl

A few months back, I received an email from a new yarny friend who wanted to tell me that she loves my signature stitch, the Dolphin Stitch, and wanted to crochet a shawl for her best friend's mother but wasn't sure how to go about it. I asked my new friend if I could design a pattern in her friend's memory and if we could share her friend's story, and she agreed! The shape is a long trapezoid, which drapes beautifully off the shoulder. This is a quick project and will make the perfect wrap for summer activities and quick gifts.

Pattern Release: the Snuggly Sprinkles Scarf

This pattern was fun and fast to work up, and my testers loved it almost as much as I did! I know not everyone is a tassel person (honestly, I never was much of a fan of tassels myself until recently), so they are optional of course, but I suggest you give it a try- you might change your mind about tassels like I did!You will need a 5.5mm crochet hook for this project. This is another pattern with simple enough repeats to crochet among distractions, yet just complex enough to keep you from getting bored.
