My Tuxedo Wine Cozy Crochet Pattern was designed for the Bring in the New Year FB Hop. I wanted to add a partner crochet pattern to this cozy, so I designed the Claret Dress Wine Bottle Cozy crochet pattern and it definitely came out perfectly as it’s mate.

Large Flower Blossom Crochet Pattern

I just love flowers! There’s nothing like bringing fresh blooms inside the house, but sometimes that’s not possible here in NE Ohio.

The Large Flower Blossom Crochet Pattern will help you keep fresh flower blooms inside your home in any color for any season. I hope you love making your own Large Blossoms.

Day 4 – Blooming Flowers Wall Hanging CAL

Today we are making the Large Flower Blossoms I used in my version of the Blooming Flowers Wall Hanging.

Yesterday we made the Small Flower Blossoms.

The center of the Large Flower Blossom uses the Viola Flower as it’s center. There are 2 petals created in 1 space around the Viola Flower.

Below you will find a FREE version of the Flower Blossom Crochet Pattern with Step-by-Step Picture Tutorials and my Left Handed Video Tutorial for the Viola Flower, which creates the center of the Flower Blossom.

This page contains affiliate links.

Shop LoveCrafts and find beautiful colors of yarn to use for your flowers!

Freyja Nordic Necklace

The Freyja Nordic Necklace Crochet Pattern is one of those crochet patterns that you can customize from what it was originally designed for. A little farther below you will see it how my testers customized theirs using thinner yarn for a person’s necklace; or used for a Hat Band; or used for a Wrist Band; or used for a Cat & Dog Necklace using both DK Weight and Worsted/Aran Weight Yarn.

So, why not even try different thicknesses of yarn to make yourself one! You will find a free crochet pattern of the Freyja Nordic Necklace below.

The Freyja Nordic Necklace Crochet Pattern came to be because my son loves anything to do with Norse History. That is why he named his dog Freyja. Ever since she was a puppy I loved to dress her up. My son even started asking me to make things for Freyja lol. So I decided to design something that relates to Nordic History and Freyja’s name. This is how I came up with this design.

Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs

The Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs crochet pattern uses a stitch I fell in love with a couple of years ago, the Sedge Stitch.

As a crochet designer I try to incorporate new crochet stitches in my newer designs. But, I recently saw the Sedge Stitch and remembered I used it in a couple of my previous designs. I used the Sedge Stitch in my Messy Bun and Beanie crochet pattern and my Rugged Slopes Cowl crochet pattern.

The Sedge Stitch is an easy stitch to do because all it consists of is a single crochet and 2 double crochet all in the same stitch.

Inside this post you will find a free crochet pattern for my Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs for 9″ wide by 4″ in height.

You can find the premium crochet patterns for my Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs, Rugged Slopes Messy Bun and Beanie; and Rugged Slopes Cowl at my Ravelry Store.

Inside the Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs premium crochet pattern, there are 5 different sizes to choose from based on the width of your calf and the height you prefer to do.

There are also step-by-step picture tutorials to help you figure out your width and how the other steps you may need to crochet your boot cuffs.

You can purchase the premium copy of the Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs to find the right size for you from my Ravelry Store for a small fee. Click the button below to get a copy of the Rugged Slopes Boot Cuffs.

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!

Gentle Waves Baby Blanket Free Crochet Pattern

The Gentle Waves Baby Blanket Free Crochet Pattern was designed to soothe you and your baby as you rock them in gentle waves. The crochet pattern uses a different version of the ripple stitch.

Inside the pattern you will find 4 different sizes you can crochet. The 4 sizes are Preemie, Cradle, Receiving and Stroller sizes. There is also a gauge if you would like to make a smaller or larger version. You can also find the Premium crochet pattern in my Ravelry Store.
