Usually I am running behind on my holiday designs. I have gotten a little bit better about doing my pattern testing before everyone gets started on their Christmas gifts and designs. But, I am designing Fall and Christmas Circle Table Runners right now. The Fall one is definitely a lot late, so that will have to wait until next year. 🙂
I designed a baby blanket for the 2nd year of the Preemie Crochet Challenge 2021, hosted by Sunflower Cottage Crochet. The pattern is called Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Baby Blanket and I used stars in the design. You can find free and paid crochet patterns for the last 2 years of preemie crochet challenges. I decided to use the star pattern for these cute little Christmas Ornaments. There is no gauge to follow. You can use these mini designs for gift giving, gift decorations, stocking stuffers and more! You can use any type of yarn you like when crocheting these stars.
If you prefer you can find Step-by-Step picture tutorials and different versions of the stars inside the Ad-Free PDF crochet pattern.

The Autumn Hues Wrap crochet pattern was just released this past September. I originally wanted to crochet a table runner with this crochet pattern, but once I started working with the stitch design I wanted to design a wrap. I also realized that the stitch works up so quickly that it can be used to create a lot of other great things! The stitch for this crochet pattern is so easily customizable, you can make a Scarf, Table Runner, Motif Squares and more.

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.

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)!
Below you will find some details about the acacia skirt that are part of the pattern and can help you decide if you would like to crochet this skirt for yourself or someone you know.
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”

There is a story behind the creation of the BlueBerry Waffle Beanie. I designed a hat 2 years ago for Lion Brand Yarn and their #HatNotHate hat drive called the Blue Seuss Slouchy Hat. To show my support again this year, I designed the 2 versions of the BlueBerry Waffle Beanie. Here is what Lion Brand has to say about #HatNotHate:
“With #HatNotHate Lion Brand Yarn hopes to increase awareness on the impact of bullying has on children, teens and adults by rallying together and crafting blue hats to proudly wear throughout the month of October, National Bullying Prevention Month. With your help we hope to create a new “craftivist” movement to send the message that bullying in unacceptable.”
My daughter experienced Bullying and seen some of the harsh side effects Bullying can cause. This is why I feel SO strongly and have been designing Blue Hats to show my support against this cruel behavior. Because my daughter loves Waffles I decided to design this waffle stitch beanie to show my support. You will find 2 versions of the BlueBerry Waffle Beanie in this post.

Leaf Crochet Pattern: **I made my leaves in 2 different colors. 2 leaves will be attached to each flower**
Step 1: Starting with a long tail of yarn (about 2”) ch 15.
Step 2: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next st, hdc in next 2 st, dc in next 2 st , trc in next 2 st, dc in next 2 st , hdc in next 2 st , sc in next st, 2 sc in last st.
Step 3: turn your to crochet on the other side of the foundation chain.
Step 4: 2 sc in 1st st, hdc in next 2 st, dc in next 2 st, trc in next 2 st, dc in next 2 st, hdc in next 2 st, sc in next st, sl st in last st and in 1st st to join.
Fasten off and weave in your ends.
Repeat Steps 1-4 until you have 14 leaves or as many as you desire.
With your tapestry needle and the long tail of yarn you created at the beginning ch, sew a leaf on each side of the loop you just made. **I glued my leaves to the back of the flowers to hold them in place.**
Repeat for each flower.
Step 2:
Cut a long piece of rope or cable about 8” – 10” (or as long as you desire) for your bunting string. This is what you will use to hang your flowers on. You can also crochet a long foundation single crochet chain instead of using a cable or rope.
Step 3:
Weave your bunting string through each loop made on the flower.
Step 4:
Measure 4” from the beginning and end of your bunting string and place a stitch marker in each place.
**this will give you enough string on each end to attach your bunting to a nail or hook placed on the surface the bunting will hang from.**
Step 5:
Evenly space your flowers apart on your bunting string.
Step 6:
Using your twist tie or a small piece of yarn fasten your flowers in place.
Step 7:
Hang your bunting to your wall, fireplace, tree, or any place you like.
