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. 
If you have ANY questions please email me at j.o@joscraftyhook.com.

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.

Please wait...

Thank you for signing up!

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. 

Information Needed

I used Custom Yarn by Knitting on the Fringe. (Skein Weight:75g/2.64 oz
Yardage/Meters: 200 meters/217 yards)

 

Materials:
US G Crochet Hook or 4 mm
217 yards of # 2 Fine Yarn or Sports Weight Yarn
Scissors
Tapestry Needle

Stitches Used/Abbreviations:
dc – double crochet
sc – single crochet
ch – chain
alt ch 2 – alternate chain 2
fsc – foundation single crochet
sk – skip
rem – remaining

Special Stitches:
Shell = (2 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) all in the same stitch.
Foundation Single Crochet – is where you create the starting chain plus a row of single crochet all at one time.

Special Notes:

My yarn was handmade.  With the different weights of 2 Fine Yarn or Sport Weight Yarn it may make your gauge a little different from mine.  You can try going up or down a hook size to meet the gauge.

Video Tutorials:
foundation single crochet – Left Handed
foundation single crochet – Right Handed
alternate chain 2 – Left Handed
alternate chain 2 – Right Handed

Finished Size:  14” x 64”

Pattern Notes:
Pattern is written in U.S. Crochet Terms
beginning chain 3 counts as the 1st dc
alt ch 2 counts as the 1st dc
alt ch 2 takes the place of a double crochet and counts as your 1st dc.  It is used to create a cleaner edge.
Row count is a multiple of 3
Due to different yarn types, the gauge may be off.  Try going up or down a hook size to meet gauge.

Gauge:
US G Crochet Hook or 4 mm
18 st x 8 rows = 4”

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!

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.

Wigs for Kids Charity Drive

Have you ever done something for someone else that made you feel really good? Or because you knew it would help make a little girl feel really special?

Here’s a little back story about how I got involved with Wigs for Kids.

I was loosing my hair a few years ago.  I was SO upset and going crazy.  I didn’t want to go anywhere, have anyone see me, I was so self conscious.  Eventually, I found out it was one of my medications.  I stopped taking it, got help from my adopted daughter, Vicki, and slowly my hair started growing back.  
After about a year, I went to a beauty salon to get my hair leveled out and I saw a sign advertisement for Wigs for Kids.  I asked the beautician what that was about and she gave me the details.
My experience was so traumatic that I wanted to do something to help because I could just imagine how a little girl losing her hair would feel.  After I seen the advertisement I let my hair grow out, and when it got long enough, I donated it to Wigs for Kids.  When I sent my hair to them, I asked it there was any way to see how my donation helped.  I got to see a picture of a little girl who got just a little of my hair helped out!  That was one of the best feelings ever!  I just donated my hair again about a year ago.  So you can see why this cause is very close to my heart ❤️

 

 

I joined Melanie Jane of Simply Melanie Jane in her Crochet Business Hop for Charity because I wanted to do more to help little girls feel special.  Melanie Jane has joined with 12 other crochet designers to raise money for the Wigs for Kids organization.  Her goal is to raise $1,800 to support this organization.

Melanie’s hop is a little different from most blog hops.  Each day she is spotlighting a crochet designer, sharing what it is that the do and letting you know how they are helping raise money for the drive.  The spotlighted designers are offering discounts and donating part of the proceeds to the Wigs for Kids charity drive.

If you would like to take part by donating your hair or help in some other way, visit Melanie’s Crochet Business Hop for Charity or you can donate directly to the Wigs for Kids Donor Drive.

You can check out the other designers beings spotlighted by clicking the button below.

 

 

Jo’s Crafty Hook is being in the spotlight again on February 18, 2022.  To change things up, I decided to offer another way to raise money for the Wigs for Kids Charity Drive.  Starting February 17-20, 2022 you can take advantage of my 50% off sale at my Ravelry and Etsy Shops.

 

 

 

You can still take advantage of the Child Size Pocket Shawl Bundle that offers you a discount as well as raising money for the charity drive.  50% of the proceeds of the Child Size Pocket Shawl Bundle will go to the Wigs for Kids Charity Drive.

 

 

Inside the bundle there are 2 child size pocket shawl crochet patterns, the Pocket Full of Diamonds and the Diamond Arches.  These shawls are designed specifically for little girls in mind.

My Child Size Pocket Shawl Bundle price has already been marked down, so you get a discount and the rest of the proceeds will go right to the Wigs for Kids Charity Drive.  You can take advantage of the bundle from my Ravelry Store (no coupon code needed).

Spread the word about this great Crochet Business Hop for Charity and more importantly the Wigs for Kids organization.

Please show your support in any way you can.  Thank you.
