I used to never block my finished crochet projects. I didn't understand the point of it. I would finish a project and be so excited, and impatient, to wear or send off to its intended recipient. But after many years of crocheting I've come to learn the noticeable transformation blocking makes on the final piece. It makes the finished crochet project so much crisper and more professional looking.
"Best of" collections are always fun to put together! We sifted through your comments, looked to see what patterns were most popular, and came up with a list that includes projects to help you decorate your home, dress your favorite toddler, add sophistication to your outfit, and keep yourself cozy.
What are the words that describe your crochet routine? For the last few months mine have been 'chaotic' and 'infrequent'! As I adjust to becoming a mum of two and trying to cope with all the chores an increased household contains (baby makes four!), it has meant I've had almost no time to grab my work bag.
Bags & totes. Scarves & shawls. Afghans & cardigans. Plus creative twists on the classic granny square & and an easy beanie to get ready for cooler weather!
Each project comes with a complete materials list, detailed instructions, pattern notes, and pictures of the finished project. Crochet these projects for yourself, or make someone smile with your thoughtful gift!
The double crochet stitch is considered by many to be the most versatile stitch of the crochet world. Not only is the stitch easy to work, but it works up quickly. Before you know it, you'll have a finished crochet afghan or cozy crochet sweater. Crochet baby blankets are often worked up with a double crochet stitch because of how quickly they come together (after all, we don't always get a great deal of notice when baby is going to arrive!)
Making a crochet blanket isn't hard to do, and once you learn the basic stitches, you can quickly progress from basic—but beautiful—patterns to more intricate designs. You'll find a mix of designs here, from beginner level to advanced, and traditional to abstract!
