I wonder if they have Scoliosis Awareness Month in June because it is a time of year Scoliosis sufferers get a little break from the chronic pain that goes along with it? This is a silly question that makes you think. Hi my name is Jo and I have Scoliosis.

Lilac Cluster Beanie Free Crochet Pattern
In today’s post I will be sharing the Lilac Cluster Beanie FREE Crochet Pattern. I am so excited to be sharing this free crochet pattern with you for a number of reasons. The main one is that I looked at a store bought hat and was able to create a crochet pattern from it! Another reason is that it is a Beautiful design and a Great Beanie! lol The last reason is the flower clusters look like Lilacs, which is my ALL time favorite flower. I just LOVE their smell!

My son found a hat and gave it to me last year. When it was taken out of storage this past winter I was like “I NEED to copy this pattern!” I took a real good look at it and wanted to see if I could crochet it because it said on the label “Crocheted.” Well I finally worked out a pattern and I hope you love it as much as I do!
You can get an Ad Free PDF Version with Step-by-Step pictures and Video Tutorials. The crochet pattern contains 8 sizes. You can find the ad free pdf crochet pattern at the places listed below.

Below you will find the Patchwork Mystery CAL Schedule which will be 12 weeks long. Also at the end of the schedule I talk about crochet giving you hope!
The Facebook Group consists of me and 11 other fiber artist designing a 12″ x 12″ Square for their mystery CAL. All of the designs were to be and are to held a secret until each artist’s Square is revealed. Also when we were creating our square there had to be a meaning behind the design. Therefore each of us 12 fiber artists have a story to tell when our Square is published.

The purpose of the group’s 12 squares is to create an amazing work of art by joining the 12 squares and creating an Afghan. The creation of the Afghan has you joining 3 Squares across by 4 Squares long. You can arrange your 12 squares any way you prefer or join them in the order of the CAL.
Even though it is week 2 of the CAL, you will have plenty of time to join us and crochet a Square. Today is the release of Square #2.

Save the Song Birds with Scrap Yarn
As my family will tell you, I LOVE Birds! I love Blue Jays, Cardinals, Woodpeckers, Cat Birds, and more! I could go on and on about the different types of Birds I love, but I won’t.

This post contains affiliate links. You can make a purchase using these links that I provide where I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.) Purchases you make will help keep my website, Etsy Shop, and my Ravelry Store going and provide quality designs just for you!
My adopted daughter,Victoria Dunn, brought this idea to my attention, I LOVED this idea SO much that I want to get YOU involved! I found a pattern last night in my Gram’s old crochet patterns that I thought would be perfect for all of us to crochet for the baby song birds.

My very first EVER CAL (Crochet-A-Long)!
Things sure have been busy here at Jo’s Crafty Hook these last 2 months. I got to spend time with my mom and sister from out of town; I spent time with my family at Thanksgiving; I’ve been getting things ready for Christmas; a couple of my crochet patterns were in testing; and best of all, I am getting ready for my very first EVER CAL (Crochet-A-Long)!
This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase using these links I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.)
That is right, I will be hosting my very first Crochet-A-Long! For those of you who don’t know what a CAL is, it is an event where a large group of people all work on certain parts of a crochet pattern at the same time. It is usually held inside a Facebook Group. A CAL can last anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks. Each CAL is different and depends on the designer but there could be videos of step by step instructions, daily posts, giveaways, progress pics, and even grand prizes!
Because I joined the Facebook Group Crochet-A-Long with Us I will be having my very first EVER CAL and it will be held January 25, 2019! My CAL will last 10 days. I have decided which crochet pattern I am using, it is my Wrapped In Love Set! The Wrapped In Love Set CAL will be happening right in time for Valentine’s Day. Therefore, you can join me and crochet the set to have for the holiday! You could even crochet the set and have it completed in time to give to a loved one!
The Wrapped in Love Set crochet pattern is for a Hat and a Cowl in 3 different sizes. The sizes include a Child size, a Women’s size, and a Men’s size. When I was designing this set I had my family in mind, they are VERY important to me. They have been my support system for this whole year! When things don’t go the way I want, my son gives me advice. When I can’t get a design just right, my daughter will let me use her as my live model over and over again. My husband has been SUPER helpful in building my sets, my displays, and offers me advice on the look of a pattern. I have always put my family first, it is nice to have them supporting me as I put myself first! They are the ones I want to Wrap in Love! The set was originally designed in October 2018 for recognition of Cancer Awareness Month. You can read more about that here.
How did you get to host your own CAL you ask? Because Tasha Reynolds, of Stardust Gold Crochet approached me and 19 other crochet designers from around the world and created a Facebook Group called Crochet-A-Long with Us! YOU can learn more about it, join if interested, and find it here. Tasha Reynolds has also put together ALL of the 20 designers and their designs in her very own blog post, which you can find here. This Facebook Group has some of the best up and coming crochet designers from around the world, including ME!
For those of you who do know me you know this is a HUGE experience for me! Yes, I have been crocheting for 20+ years, but I’ve only been designing my own crochet patterns since April of this year! Being asked to join the Crochet-A-Long with Us Facebook Group and having my crochet designs linked with 19 other designers from around the world is something I never even dreamed about! So I got to tell ya………I am blown away and EXCITED!!!
When I started my business in January 2018 all I wanted to do was sell the the Handmade Crocheted Creations I had made using free crochet patterns from other designers. I never even thought about creating or designing my own crochet patterns. Well how did you get started, you ask? A friend seen one of the sweaters I had crocheted and loved it! But she wanted me to adjust the fit for her. So long story short, I adjusted the sweater, and both of us LOVED the way it came out!
After that I decided to try my hand at designing. I wanted to make a sweater with different yarn. 2 tries later and a lot of trials and errors, the Little Black Vest, the Tulip Sweater Vest and Jo’s Crafty Hook Designs were born! The Little Black Vest is on Sale for $30 at my Etsy Shop. The Tulip Sweater Vest crochet pattern can be found on my website for free or purchase the Ad Free PDF version here from the Ravelry Store.
