I used this stitch with a simple border to make one of my memory blankets for Project Sweet Peas, but you could make this blanket any size. Just be sure to start with a multiple of 4 chains + 3 chains to turn and that the beginning chain is the width you want the finished blanket to be less 2 inches to allow for the border. ~Click here to add to your library, favorites … [Read more...] about FREE Crochet Pattern – Celtic Weave Blanket

FREE Crochet Pattern – Golf Club Covers and Towel
With Father's Day around the corner I was determined to design something in crochet for my husband, but what would it be?

FREE Crochet Pattern – Chameleon Hat – May Flowers
I can't believe it's May already. When I was thinking about designing the May edition of the Chameleon Hat the phrase "April showers, bring May flowers" came to mind and became the inspiration for these two hats. The first is a fun garden of flowers perfect for an afternoon stroll through the garden. I love the embroidered stems topped with four different flower appliques and I added some butterflies and ladybug buttons to complete the effect. The next is a bit more adult.
