5 Crochet Blogs I Really Admire Some bloggers just do it right. And these five rock their crochet blogs with such gusto and panache and general good-heartedness, I just couldn’t help but give them a shout-out. So let’s all raise a hook to these five fine entrepreneurs in our crochet community! Here’s to you all […]
Welcome crocheters, step into my time machine. I thought it might be nice to take a little trip back in time to get vintage patterns your mother or grandmother fawned over. As a bit of a vintage fanatic, I knew that it would be too overwhelming if I didn’t focus in on a specific time […]
I don’t know about you, but when I crochet, I like to work on patterns that are made in pieces. They are generally easier to make, and the patterns are repetitive, which means I can get in a rhythm. This is why I like granny squares, and this is why I like mile a minute […]
When it comes to crochet afghan patterns, it’s easy to find lots of ideas for every season. Each season brings to mind different activities. For summer, you think swimming (or boating if you’re lucky). In spring, it’s gardening—no one can resist being outside with the newly-green grass. For winter, maybe you think of making snowmen […]
What do vibrant flowers, parquet tiles, and classic stripes have in common? They can all dress up your crochet blanket patterns through the same beloved technique—crochet granny squares. This is one of my favorite ways to work up an afghan because it’s so convenient; if you only have a few precious minutes for crocheting, you […]

I don’t know about you, but in my opinion, there are few materials as gorgeous and luxurious as lace! To me, the delicate repeating patterns look almost like little flowers. I love how intricate lace is, yet how durable some good lacy afghan patterns can be. On top of that, lace is a light material […]
There’s something so pretty and delicate about lace crochet blankets, don’t you think? They’re worked up so intricately and with such care yet they still provide some warmth despite being so light and open. In fact, I’d say they’re perfect for the spring and summer months as you don’t want to get weighed down by […]
If you grew up watching Disney princess movies, there’s a good chance you also dressed up like your favorite princess at some point. Cinderella, Ariel, and Princess Jasmine have been popular for decades. To get that same special feeling as an adult, you can give your home a royal touch by taking inspiration from past or present rulers. We’ve […]
