Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan Crochet Pattern

Mae’s Flower Garden Afghan Crochet Pattern

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.

  • 2 Sizes to Choose from – Throw or Lapghan
  • Step-by-Step Picture Tutorials
  • Video Tutorials of Flowers and Assembly

I used a variety of yarns in a variety of colors.  The Mae’s Flowers can be made in solid or contrasting colors.  This crochet pattern is a great way to use up your scrap yarn.

Materials:
2-4 yds of 4 ply Worsted/Aran Weight Yarn
US H Crochet Hook or 5mm

I have been wanting to design a triangle shawl for a long time, but it always intimidated me.  I came across some old pictures of a triangle shawl in my Memories on Facebook.  I told myself “self, you have done this before so you can do it now!”  One of my friends on Facebook saw my old pictures and told me the shawl would be a perfect Mother’s Day.  So I named the shawl after her, Catherine.

Acacia Headband Free Crochet Pattern

Today’s I am sharing with you my Acacia Headband Free Crochet Pattern.  Each year it seems like I learn a new stitch and fall in love with it so much that I design multiple crochet patterns using that stitch.  The Acacia Headband uses the stitch that I recently fell in love with.

This post contains affiliate links.  If you make a purchase using these links I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.)

 

 

The Wattle Stitch is the one I learned last year and fell in love with.  I have used it to design a beanie, a cowl, a skirt, a clutch and now a headband.  Of course I have a couple more in the works.  🙂

You can find the Acacia Headband crochet patterns along with 26 other crochet designers and their new and favorite Spring designs at my Spring into Spring 2022 Roundup.

 

 

 

I want to thank my pattern testers for all of their help in making the Acacia Headband crochet pattern the best it can be.  Thank you Kami Jones, Kit Haverland, Ali Haas, Jennifer Smith and Tammy Alexander.

I was updating some of my earlier crochet when I came across the stitch I fell in love with when I was first designing, the Tulip Stitch.  I had some beautiful yarn I bought at a fiber fair that I was chomping at the bit to use, so I used that here with my Jaide Wrap.

Get Around Face Scrubbies and Washcloths Free Crochet Patterns

Today I like to share with you my Get Around Face Scrubbies and Washcloths Free Crochet Patterns.

Do you wear makeup?  Does your face not feel clean even after using soap?  Do you spend a lot of money on disposable face cleaning pads?  If you answered YES to any of these questions then these crochet patterns are perfect for you.  The puff stitch used in these crochet patterns adds an extra buffer to help reach your pores and gives your face a nice clean feeling after you use them.  The added bonus is they are made with 100% cotton and are machine washable.  The face scrubbies and washcloths would also make a perfect gift for those women in your life!  

This post contains affiliate links.  If you make a purchase using these links I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.)

 

 

The Get Around Face Scrubbies & Washcloths crochet patterns are SO quick and easy to do!  My pattern testers had so many good things to say about them!

Here are some testimonials from my testers:

Kathy Hungerford Paquette:  I enjoyed making the scrubbie and washcloth pattern. It worked up quick and easy.   I used two different colors for mine to match my bathroom.  Kathy was the one who invented the name, Get Around Face Scrubbies and Washcloths Free Crochet Pattern!

Stacy Secoy:  These work up quickly! I think the will make great gifts and sell well at craft fairs!  Thanks for having me test these!

 

Dina Sengupta:  I make these small ones to supply to an eco friendly store. They will go perfectly with yours to make full set. I will use them to gift.

Cor Chris Desro:  Pattern is great!  Done in 15 minutes at most!  I am going to make 3 colors so I can have them to match.

Acacia Skirt Crochet Pattern

The Shades of Autumn Blog Hop hosted by Agat Gootie of Made by Gooties started already, October 1, 2021.  I am collaborating in this event and I am giving away a free pdf copy of my Acacia Skirt Crochet Pattern on October 5, 2021!

This post contains affiliate links.  If you make a purchase using these links I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.)

The image below tells you how the Shades of Autumn Blog Hop works.

 

To get the free crochet pattern offered daily by a different crochet designer, you will visit the blog hop from Made by Gootie by clicking on the image below.

The Acacia Skirt Crochet Pattern was released in early September.  I am so proud of this new design, as this is my first skirt crochet pattern.  Let me tell ya, it won’t be my last!

This new design has a technique I have never used before, it uses your body type.  It can be customized to fit you from your waist to your hips to the body of the skirt!  There are also 3 length suggestions inside the pattern that you can choose from or you can crochet it to fit your own custom length.

On October 5, 2021, my day, be sure to visit the round up post to get the Coupon Code needed to get a free pdf copy of my Acacia Skirt crochet pattern.  Click on the image below and you will be directed to my pattern at Ravelry where at Checkout you can insert the Coupon Code provided.

You can find out more information about the Acacia Skirt crochet pattern below.  There you can decide for yourself if you want a free pdf copy of the pattern.

If you decide you don’t have time to visit the blog hop daily, you can purchase the Shades of Autumn Blog Hop Bundle.  Inside the bundle you will find 22 crochet patterns, instead of 20 for $8.99.  This is 90% off the retail price of all 22 crochet patterns!   Also before checkout Agat is offering her 5 Mindless Crochet Stitches eBook for 25% off!  Click on the image below to purchase a copy of the Shades of Autumn Blog Hop Bundle!

 

 

The name of the skirt is a little different.  I used the Wattle Stitch as the main stitch for the body of the skirt.  When you think of the word wattle, you think of that fleshy, flabby stuff that is found on roosters or turkeys lol that is not the definition I wanted for the skirt.  lol  So I looked up the meaning of wattle and that is where I found out the name Acacia.  An acacia is a type of flower that can be found in Australia and the branches and stalks are used for a type of fencing or walls.  Below is a picture of an acacia flower.

 

 

If you don’t crochet or don’t have the time to make one for yourself or family or friends, I would be more than happy to crochet one for you! You can fill out the Custom Order Form below or email me at jo@joscraftyhook.com and we can discuss how to make it to fit your style, size, and color(s)!

Notes:
The waistband is worked in the round.
The rest of the skirt is worked in rows and are joined.
Alt ch 2 or ch 2 counts as a half double crochet.
There are 3 parts to the skirt, the Waist, the Hips, and the Body.
Sizes range from 24” 26” 28” 30” 32” 34” 36” 38” 40” consecutively.  If you need a wider waist, you can use the gauge and adjust your stitch count accordingly.
There are 2 types of ties for the waistband that can be found at the end of the pattern as another option to add to your skirt.

Gauge:
US H Hook or 5mm
12 hdc x 12 rows = 4”
