Jo’s Crafty Hook is taking part of The Preemie Crochet Challenge. The Preemie Crochet Challenge runs the whole month of August. This is a first annual event being sponsored by Sunflower Cottage Crochet to bring awareness to the challenges faced with premature babies. The Preemie Crochet Challenge 2020 is a charitable event to help preemie babies, families, charities, and the NICU or neonatal intensive care unit at a local hospital.
This page 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!
The event is like a blog hop. There are 31 crochet designers that will have a free pattern for you to download. Each pattern you download is a pledge you are taking. You are pledging to make at least one item that you download and donate to a family, hospital or charity in November for Preemie Awareness Month.
I designed a blanket specifically for this event, the Sweet Dreams Preemie Blanket. In designing the blanket I incorporated a new stitch that I had just learned, the Crunch Stitch.
I used 490 yards of Premier Sweet Roll in the Color Gelato Pop. I really love the feel and color of this yarn! I used and US I Hook or 5.5 mm Hook. The size of the Sweet Dreams Preemie Blanket is 23” x 23” The blanket can be made bigger or smaller using the stitch count of 2. The Crunch Stitch always starts with a half double crochet and ends with a slip stitch.
Sweet Dreams Preemie Blanket
I wanted to help raise awareness of this event because I remember the struggles my aunt and uncle went through when their baby was born premature. I remember that they didn’t have all of the items a baby needs. I remember my cousin was kept in the hospital in the NICU because he was having problems with his heart. When my cousin came home he was still hooked to a heart monitor. Even though I was a teenager at the time the family was not expecting these problems. He is a healthy young man now. The family came together and supported my aunt and uncle through these times.
Because this cause is so worthy of our time and sacrifice I have decided to extend the free pdf copy of my crochet pattern. From August 10th – August 17, 2020. To take advantage of free pattern, click on the button below and that will take you to my pattern at Ravelry. Use the Coupon Code: PREEMIE2020 at check out.
I would LOVE to see your version of the Sweet Dreams Preemie Blanket! You can add your Project to my crochet pattern at Ravelry. You can also find me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

The Shelly Crop Top is the newest crochet pattern in my Wrapped in Love Line eBook of crochet patterns. All of the crochet patterns inside the eBook can be found in one place, at my Etsy Shop JosCraftyHook here.

Summer of Love Crochet Pattern
In designing the crochet pattern I used Lion Brand Mandala yarn when crocheting my crop top. You can use any 3 Ply Lightweight yarn or DK weight yarn. I used an I crochet hook or a 5.5mm hook.
The crop top is crocheted as one piece. You start from the bottom and crochet up to the top, working in the round. The crop top is seamless. The only sewing involved is of the front and back straps. The cool thing about the straps is that the pattern repeats in the straps design.
There is even a Video Tutorial in my YouTube library that shows you how to do the repeat rows that make up the crop top. If you check out the Video Tutorial please Subscribe to my YouTube channel. You will be notified when I create more designs, helpful tips and more. You can Subscribe here. You can find the video tutorial here.

Today I would LOVE to share with you another free crochet pattern by Jo’s Crafty Hook Designs! The Nellie Summer Tee Free Crochet Pattern started with a new stitch, the N-Stitch. I learned the N-Stitch during the Spring while testing for another great crochet designer group, Sunflower Cottage Crochet.
This page contains affiliate links.
If you have never crocheted the N-Stitch, I have a great one you can find on my YouTube Channel.
Easter and Spring is a great time to add new items to your wardrobe. My Fingers Fly is hosting an Easter Advent Calendar Event that has FREE crochet patterns to help you crochet these things.
Day 8 – Clothing
The Nellie Summer Tee Crochet Pattern is being featured in the Easter Advent Calendar Event along with clothing from My Fingers Fly. You can find free crochet patterns her, the Pinstripe Sweater and the Tutti Frutti Poncho.
My crochet pattern testers fell in LOVE with the N-Stitch just like I did! I would LOVE to give them a BIG shout out because they worked really hard on this design. There were many hiccups because of the trying times we are in right now. There were yarn delivery delays, finding time to finish the test, and just trying to function during these troubled times.
I appreciate EVERY single one of them! They are Jolanta Urb, Anita Reinisch, L. Holly George, and Laina Mann Malcolm. Below are their versions of the Nellie Summer Tee.

Lay Right Sides of the panels facing each other.
Use the Table at the top of the pattern for the size of your Armholes. I measured from the top of the panels and placed Stitch Markers where you will stop when sewing sides closed.
Start at the bottom of the panels and sew the sides together using the Whip Stitch, or Mattress Stitch until you get to the Armholes.
If you would like more room at the hips, leave a 2”-4” slit at the bottom on each size of the Panels. I made a 2” slits.
Shoulders:
Using the Table at the top of the pattern, find the size of the neck hole opening.
Place your Stitch Marker where you want to stop the opening on both sides of the top.
Sew the panels together using the Whip Stitch or whichever method you prefer to sew the shoulders closed.

I originally designed the Wrapped in Love Hat and Cowl Set to show my support for Cancer Awareness Month. As I grow as a Fiber Artist, my designs grow. This Tank Top is another design that has been added to the Wrapped In Love Line. I have more than one loved one who had been diagnosed with cancer and have BEATEN It! They are true Survivors and the inspiration behind my crochet patterns in the Wrapped In Love Line.

It seems like every crochet designer I know are creating beautiful crochet patterns for Mug Rugs, so I decided to design my own mug rugs and share the crochet pattern with you for free. The Tulip Mug Rugs Free Crochet Pattern was designed using a version of the Tulip Stitch. There are many versions of the Tulip Stitch to choose from. I decided to use the easiest one. No matter your skill level, this crochet pattern is easy to follow.

In designing my Wrapped in Diamonds Wrap I was scrolling through Pinterest trying to find some inspiration for a new design. I was scrolling through my Crochet Stitches Board, which can be found here, looking for that perfect stitch. I came across the Argyle Shell Stitch and fell in LOVE!!
My Wrapped in Diamonds Wrap measures 26″ wide x 73″ long. The yarn I used is Lion Brand Coboo Yarn. I used 1000 yards of this beautiful lightweight cotton and bamboo mix. You can make yours any size you like. I wanted it long to be able to wrap around myself.
The Argyle Shell Stitch consists of a 4 row pattern repeat. The pictures below show how the Diamonds take shape after each row is added. Rows 2-5 create the pattern repeats that build the Diamond shapes.
Row 1
Row 2
Row 3
Row 4
Row 5
Rows 2-5
As you can see by the picture below the Argyle Shell Stitch creates the perfect Diamond shapes that come out in the Wrapped in Diamonds Wrap. The picture below also shows the Edging that I created to surround the beautiful Diamond shapes.
You can use the Argyle Shell Stitch yourself and create a beautiful Wrap, Blanket, and so much more! I have a Video Tutorial that has a great example on how to crochet the Argyle Shell Stitch.
To purchase the Wrapped in Diamonds Wrap’s Ad Free PDF Crochet Pattern from Ravelry you can find it here. While you are there, be sure to check out some of my other crochet designs here.
I LOVE the Argyle Shell Stitch so much that I have designed a lightweight Summer Tee! The crochet pattern will go into the Testing Phase next month! If you are interested in Testing the Summer Tee or any of my newest designs, you can join me at Jo’s Crafty Hook Designs Tester Group here! The Nellie Summer Tee below is in the Testing Phase right now.
