The Little Nugget Beanie is a crochet pattern I designed especially for Preemie Babies. The Beanies can be donated to your local hospital’s NICU, to the families who have preemie babies, or any charity that needs beanies because the Little Nugget Beanie crochet pattern can be customized for any size found in the Gauge below.
October is Cancer Awareness Month. I wanted to share this beanie and bring awareness to Cancer because we recently lost our young niece who fought braving and never lost her love for life. I have also have had family members who have had cancer in one form or another. The Little Nugget Beanie is a pattern that can be customized for small babies to young toddlers. This beanie can also be donated to Cancer Patients, Cancer Wards at your local hospital or donating to any local charity.

The Double Cross Mobius Cowl crochet is an oversized mobius cowl that is to be wrapped around your neck twice. There are a couple of reasons I named this the Double Cross Mobius Cowl.
The wrapping around your neck twice is how I came up with the first part of it’s name. The other part of the name I chose comes from the Double Crochet Cross Stitch, but with a different twist.
Because I used a thicker bulky yarn from knitpicks I wanted taller stitches in the cowl. The extended double crochet and the extended double crochet cross stitch helped create those taller stitches.
The extended double crochet and extended double crochet cross stitch is an idea that comes from using the Double Crochet Cross Stitch. If you have never crocheted the Double Crochet Cross Stitch, I recommend trying this first. To help you master all of these stitches, I have added 3 of my Left Handed Video Tutorials demonstrating how to crochet each stitch.
The Double Crochet Cross Stitch left handed video tutorial below demonstrates how to crochet this stitch.
The 2nd left handed video tutorial demonstrates how to crochet the Extended Double Crochet.
The 3rd left hand video tutorial I demonstrate how to crochet the stitch I created, the Extended Double Crochet Cross Stitch.
Check out more about the Double Cross Mobius Cowl crochet pattern, sponsored by #wecrochetofficial #wecrochet WeCrochet below.
Information about the Double Cross Mobius Cowl Crochet Pattern.
Material I Used:
MC – 270-400 yds of #7 Bulky Weight Yarn CC – 230-370 yds of #7 Bulky Weight Yarn
US J Crochet Hook or 6 mm
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Stitch Marker
This yarn is a thicker bulky yarn, #7. The yarn is 100% acrylic and the yardage per skein is 136 yds or 100 g
I will definitely be using this yarn again because it is so soft and glides through your fingers like butter!
For my Main Color (MC) I used the color Sienna
For my Contrasting Color (CC) or second color I used Brindle
The Double Crochet Mobius Cowl Crochet Pattern has step-by-step picture tutorials and helpful left handed Video Tutorials for the 3 different stitches I used in making the cowl.
The crochet pattern also has 3 different sizes to choose from; Small, Medium, and Large. Inside the pattern you will also find out how to customize the cowl to fit your style, size, and colors.

TESTIMONIAL from Catherine Henderson
Joey Lea Baird of Jo’s Crafty Hook has created another stunning pattern she called ” The Changing Seasons Centerpiece.
She has created this centerpiece using basic stitches with several different finishes.
I was so excited & grateful for being part of her test team!
I worked on my version for a weekend This amazing centerpiece works up so fast, and changes with every new row. The pattern works great for either a left or right handed crocheter. With comprehensive easy to understand instructions and photos for reference.
I had so much fun making it, that I found myself rushing through my housework so I could sit down to work on my creation. I used Value Ball Kringle Sparkle Yarn 8ply, in fall colors, with a 3.5mm hook. You can find this fantastic pattern!
Find me, Jo of Jo’s Crafty Hook at the places listed below.
I designed the Changing Seasons Coasters because I love to decorate my home for the different seasons. Fall is my favorite time of year. I love seeing all tree leaves change colors and the different fall flowers! You can decorate your end tables, coffee tables, and use them on your dining room table to add a festive touch for any season. There are 2 versions of the coaster inside this post that you can make again and again for all seasons.

You can create your own beautiful blanket using the Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan Crochet Pattern. This is a great scrap busting project!
Thank you for your interest in my Mae’s Flowers Crochet Pattern. This is a project that has been in the works for over 25 years. My gram started making these flowers for an Afghan back in 1994. I inherited the Afghan when she passed away about 20 years ago. It moved from house to house, taken out every once in a while, and I always said I was going to finish it and I have.
I decided I would write out the steps she did and turn it into a crochet pattern. I took the flowers apart to learn the stitches she used, so I could make my own. This pattern is dedicated to Gram. She was a very important part of my life. I hope you enjoy making the Mae’s Flowers too!
The afghan can be made in a solid color or a variety of colors as you like. The flowers use such a small amount of yarn that you can use up ALL of that Scrap Yarn you have laying around!
You can find the premium copy of the Mae’s Flower Garden Crochet Pattern for $5 at my Ravelry Store. Inside the PDF copy of the Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan crochet pattern there are a lot of extra goodies for Right & Left Handed crocheters.
