Last Christmas my younger sister was knitting a sweater for my brother. About that time I realized that he didn’t have a scarf, and I knew I had to make him one. I thought it would be nice for it to match his new sweater. The sweater featured cables, so of course the scarf should too. I didn’t know how …
Rose Kimono – Crochet Pattern Testing
Shortly after I tested the Rhapsody Tee, I was invited to test another of Susanna Biaye’s patterns. This time it was the Rose Kimono, a lovely wrap vest with a belt. I decided to make my version using this fine blue yarn from my stash, and it goes nicely with my blue skirt. The design is a very simple one, …
Rhapsody Tee – Crochet Testing
In April of last year, I came across a testing call for this lovely tee by Susanna Biaye of Fosbas Designs. I was thrilled when I was accepted to test for her, and very excited since it also happened to be the first time I ever tested a crochet pattern for a designer. Since I’m posting all my projects on …
Golden Autumn Skirt – Free Crochet Pattern
Introducing my first skirt pattern: the Golden Autumn Skirt! I made this skirt last year, but it’s taken me a while to get it all written up. I’ve also been debating how and when to release it, and I finally decided to go ahead and publish it on my blog. There’s still some work to do, but later on I’ll …

Crochet Oreo Cookie – Free Pattern
After I made a crochet marshmallow more than a year ago, my little sister kept asking me to make an Oreo cookie. It has taken me forever, but I finally obliged. This is a really simple design: just a few circles stitched together to make a sandwich. After you make the classic Oreos, try making Uh-Oh Oreos using yellow for …
United States Flag – Free Crochet Pattern
This is a pattern I’ve been working on since May. I wanted to create a crochet United States flag with 50 stars and 13 even stripes. It took me a lot of planning and testing to create this and to figure out the placement and spacing for the stars and stripes. I’m happy to say I came up with something …

Simple Card Pouch – Free Crochet Pattern
Last year when I took a trip to a different city with my family, I had a hotel card key that I needed to carry. However, my clothes didn’t have any pockets, and I didn’t want to be carrying my purse with me everywhere I went, whether to the beach, walking around the city, or just staying at the hotel. …

Ribbed Crochet Scarf – Free Pattern
Here is the scarf to match the Ribbed Crochet Hat I made for my boyfriend. The pattern couldn’t be simpler; just alternating front and back post double crochet stitches that create a ribbed design reminiscent of knit. This is even easier than the hat, as it is just a long rectangle without any increases. It can be done any width …
