Free Pattern Friday #26 how to crochet a checkered bucket hat
I totally enjoy making hats on a whole and bucket hats just bring a whole other excitement having to use more than one colour is a plus. I made this hat wide to protect my face from the sun. I added where you can drop decreasing if you don’t want to go as wide.
Shown above is a bucket hat in 3 colours and one in 2 colours. You can make hats in more colours if you choose. Just stick to a multiple…

Free Pattern Friday #23 how to make bag pouches
CROCHET BAG POUCHES FOR INSIDE BAGS
I find that when I make crochet or knitted bags I always tend to make little purses or phone pouches to go inside as I don’t like putting my small items and having them getting lost in the bottom of the bag.
I made these pouches in 3 sizes, the narrowest size is for pens / pencils, medium size for your phone and the largest size is for your makeup or other…

Free Pattern Friday #22 how to Crochet a Japanese Hippie Knot Bag
Free Pattern Friday #22 how to Crochet a Japanese Hippie Knot Bag
The Japanese knot bag was originally sewn from material. I have recreated my own version in crochet using 100% worsted weight #4 cotton. You can use any type of yarn you want. I made 2 sizes, small and medium (in the pic above they look the same size but the blue bag is a bit smaller)I will probably make a larger size bag at another time. If you choose to use any weight yarn and if you stick to…

My first ever Crochet Pocket Shawl
I always love crocheting something I have never done before. This will be a pocket shawl not a pocket scarf. Two different things.
I will be writing a pattern to share shortly. Honestly I got an order to make two as Christmas gifts. I love to jump on gifts early.
So hang with me and see what I’m up to.

Granny Square Day 2021
When I say I love making granny squares I kid you not.
Being the “Queen of Scrap Yarn” I would be amiss if I did not do a special vid and blog post for Granny Square Day. After all it’s been my favourite thing to crochet from as far back as I can remember.
Celebrate with me and you I will post the finished item on here shortly…
