October is Cancer Awareness Month and the Wrapped in Love Headband Crochet Pattern was designed specifically for Cancer Awareness Month. There are a number of crochet patterns in the Wrapped In Love Line (see below) that are dedicated to the women in my family who have faced one type of cancer or another and SURVIVED! I am SO thankful to God for delivering them from this horrible disease!

As a Scoliosis Survivor, I know some of the struggles cancer patients go through. I deal with chronic pain, anxiety, depression and more. Cancer patients may go through these things as well. Surviving Scoliosis is an ongoing battle, that is why I am so thankful the women in my family battled cancer and survived!
The Wrapped in Love Headband uses the same technique found in the Wrapped in Love Hat and Cowl set crochet patterns that can be found on my website here. There are a number of Video Tutorials from my YouTube Channel here that do Row by Row with you. If you would like to receive the FREE PDF version of this pattern you can find it at any of my stores listed below.
You can also find the Summer of Love Tank Top crochet pattern here on my website as well. The Summer of Love Tank Top uses the same Video Tutorials as the hat, cowl, and headband. You can find the Video Tutorials at my YouTube channel here as well.
The Wrapped In Love Headband and Summer of Love Tank Top are just some of the crochet patterns you can find in the Wrapped In Love Line. The Wrapped In Love Headband crochet pattern is another quick one that those with Scoliosis or chronic pain sufferers or anyone can do because it is a ‘short and sweet’ pattern. lol So scroll down and let’s get started!

I designed the Ombre Waves Tank Top around this time last year, but I only offered it in 1 size. One of my crochet pattern testers said she would LOVE to do the tank top, but I didn’t offer a Small. I heard the same thing about sizes from others, so I decided to add 5 more sizes to the pattern. So now YOU can take advantage of these changes as well!

In today’s post I will be sharing how to join afghan or blanket squares and adding a border to your afghan or blanket.
Below you will find some helpful Video Tutorials on how to join squares you used in making an Afghan or Blanket. Also you will find a Video Tutorial I made using the Lollipop technique when I added my border.
The original post was from when I took part in the Patchwork Mystery CAL, but these techniques can be used in joining any squares or adding a border when making an afghan or blanket.
The technique I used in joining my squares was crocheting them together using the double crochet stitch.
I also have a helpful Video Tutorial on joining squares using the Running Stitch which you can watch below.
************************************************
This is it, the end of the Patchwork Mystery CAL, well it’s ALMOST over! In today’s post I will be sharing the Joining Squares and Adding a Border for the Patchwork Mystery CAL Afghan that I did. Don’t worry because if you just joined us for the CAL or are behind, the schedule will stay up in the group and our patterns will remain FREE on our websites or blogs! If you are just coming across our CAL, you can find our Facebook Group Patchwork Mystery CAL here!
Joining my Afghan Squares was a challenge, with SO many different techniques out there it was hard to choose from, but I find one perfect for mine! I used a DC techniques to Join my afghan squares. Below is a picture on my Join and a Video Tutorial to show you exactly what I did.
DC JoinDC Border around whole Afghan
Once I joined all of my Afghan Squares, I added a DC Border around the whole Afghan. After I did this I searched and searched Pinterest until I found the perfect decorative border I was looking for. I call it the “Lollipop” technique. lol The actual pattern came from My Crafts which can be found here.
I also made a Video Tutorial of my “Lollipop” Border and you can find it below which is from my YouTube Channel.
And here is my finished Patchwork Mystery CAL Afghan! I hope you like it and are able to find the perfect Join and Border for your Patchwork Mystery CAL Afghan!

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.
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!

************************************************
Information about Lilac Cluster Beanie:
Skill Level:
Advanced Beginner/Intermediate US Terms
Yarn Used:
**I used Lion Brand Mandala Yarn 3 ply light weight yarn or DK weight yarn. (5.3 oz/590 yds)**
Materials:
US Hook K or 6.5 mm 200-500 yds of 3 ply Light Weight or DK Weight Yarn Scissors Tapestry Needle
Gauge:
US K Hook or 6.5 mm 16 fpdc x 12 rows = 4”
Gauge Swatch:
R1: Chain 10, dc in 4th st from hook and remaining 7 st. Turn. R2: Ch 3, fpdc in the next 7 st. Turn R3-R12: Repeat R2
Abbreviations:
ch = Chain sl st = Slip Stitch mc = Magic Circle dc = Double Crochet sp = Space fpdc = Front Post Double Crochet fpdc3tog = Front Post Double Crochet 3 Together-Decrease fpdc6tog = Front Post Double Crochet 6 Together-Decrease
Notes:
ch 2 does NOT count as a stitch ch 3 counts as a dc Stitch count is multiples of 6, so if your brim is too tight or too loose try going up or down in hook size before you adjust the stitch count. Pattern written for: 0-6mth (6-12 mth, 12-24 mth, 2-5 yrs, 5-10 yrs, Teen/Sm Adult, Med Adult, Lg Adult) The Crown will Increase every other Row as the Sizes increase every other Row. The Increase will be done every other Row. 24 (36, 48, 60, 72, 84) will be your ending row count after you complete the increases for your size. This Beanie can be made into a Slouchy Hat. You can add more Rows during the Shells & Clusters by doing R3-R4 and ending with R3 . You can also add more Rows to the Brim, that will work too to make a Slouchy Hat.
