Creating Me

Hi friends,

Spring is just around the corner and I’m ready for it! 🌸🌼🌺 But until it gets here, I have a Springtime Crochet Can Cozy pattern for you to brighten up the last days of winter. And they would be a cute addition to an Easter basket for an older child or teen. 🐰

It’s a super easy pattern that’s a great stash buster. You only need a couple of ounces of worsted weight cotton yarn to make each can cozy.

I used I Love This Cotton yarn and an H/5mm crochet hook to stitch up my cozies. I also added some fun flower buttons for a little something extra – this is totally optional, but I like the little touch of Spring they add. 🙂

The pattern includes a few rounds of half double crochet in the third loop. Here’s a great tutorial on half double crochet in the 3rd loop if you need it.

You can find the pattern below along with a link to a free PDF if you’d like to print it.

Hi friends,

Y’all! I have found the best crochet hat pattern! First, let me just say that I am NOT a hat girl – like I really don’t like wearing them! I am more than happy to make them for others, but it’s just not something I like to wear. Thankfully, I live in the south where we don’t really need them to keep warm. 😉

But, we are heading to Scotland (!!!) this spring and I was thinking a hat might come in handy for some of those windy, chilly days I’m sure we will have. So my search began to find the perfect hat and I found the Crochet Belladonna Bucket Hat by Crazy4crochetmomma. It is a paid pattern that you can find here in her Etsy shop. A bucket hat for my bucket list trip! It’s just perfect! 😉

I used a different yarn than what was listed in the pattern. I stitched up my hat using Yarn Bee Uber Luxe in Light Grey with a P/Q/15mm crochet hook. Due to my yarn, and probably my tension, I needed to adjust the pattern a little to get the correct gauge – be sure to measure your hat after Round 4 as she states in the pattern! I added an additional increase round for round 5 to get the right measurement. I also added an extra round to the length before I did the last increase round. My hat has a total of 12 rounds instead of the 10 listed in the pattern. This is why it’s so important to measure the hat after round 4!! You don’t want to get all the way done and not have it fit!

The Crochet Belladonna Bucket Hat works up super fast and the jumbo yarn gives it such great texture. It’s a fun hat even if you’re not much of a hat girl – like me! 🙂

Hi friends,

Since the groundhog told us there will be 6 more weeks of winter, I thought it was time for a new crochet scarf pattern! 😁

The Cozy Crochet Infinity Scarf is a beginner friendly pattern that is made up of single and double crochet stitches. The texture comes from crocheting in the back loop only.

The pattern begins with a row of foundation single crochet. This is a great tutorial to learn the stitch. I’ve also included instructions for starting with a regular chain.

I used Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek in Ivory Stripe with an I/5.5mm crochet hook to stitch up my scarf. You can use any of your favorite worsted weight yarn to make your own beautiful Cozy Crochet Infinity Scarf.

You’ll find the pattern below and I’ve also included a link to a free PDF if you’d like to easily print it.
