35 Easy Crochet Patterns

1. Cute Crochet Bows

Cute Crochet Bows, a handmade stitch project, easy to scale up for a whole batch and a keepsake worth handing down

DIY crochet bows! Why not? The good thing about these crochet bows is that they are shaped like a bow before the middle is wrapped. You don’t need to pinch and wrap, hoping it turns out okay (I am not the best bow-maker with fabric, paper, ribbon or much else). You get a perfect crochet bow every time!

2. Crochet Coffee Cozy Pattern

Crochet Coffee Cozy Pattern, quick enough to finish before nap time and a sweet way to personalize a plain space

I saw a quick and easy DIY crochet cup cozy pattern on Pinterest and I had to try it! It’s been chilly around here lately, and with this cold weather, I find myself stopping at Starbucks on the way home from work more than ever :). The coffee trips inspired me to make these fun and soft cup cozies! I put wooden buttons on them and my Starbucks is always well dressed! 😉

3. Crochet Succulents

Crochet Succulents, quick enough to finish before nap time and a look that photographs beautifully once finished

I grew up gardening. My parents always had a small garden in our backyard, my mother tended and cultivated large flower gardens in the front and a big garden a few miles from our house on the family farm. I have had ample opportunities to learn how to grow and nurture plants, but for some reason, it’s a skill that I can’t master. I have been loving the succulent trend, they are gorgeous and “low-maintenance.” Unfortunately, I have managed to kill all of mine. So I decided to create these crochet succulents. I am determined not to kill these!

4. Crochet Mandala Hoops

9. Moss Stitch Crochet Dishcloth

Moss Stitch Crochet Dishcloth, quick enough to finish before nap time and warmth that a plain corner was missing

My best friend finally was able to buy her very own house. She had been living with her family, who she really loves, but it was a big step that she needed to finally take. Its a little Victorian style cabin by Lake Buchanan and she’s doing her kitchen in a farmhouse country theme, shes even got a 1950s O’Keef and Merrit Gas range. I am so happy for her and so thrilled at her bravery to finally strike out on her own, I knew I had to make something extra special for the wonderful new kitchen. I decided on the handmade moss stitch crochet dishcloths, so they could be draped along the handles of that beautiful range. She cried when I gave them to her, she’s so happy about her new place in the Sun.

10. Crochet Wrap Bracelet Button

Crochet Wrap Bracelet Button, a handmade stitch project, easy to scale up for a whole batch and a keepsake worth handing down

I love my DIY crochet friendship bracelets so much was because of the fact that they were adjustable. I have small wrists and I always find it awkward to wear large bangles. I guess I could look for small bangles, but I still need to get my hand through it, and then there’s just this big clunker dangling from my wrist. I saw an image while perusing Pinterest of a crocheted wrap bracelet that also looked adjustable, so I thought I’d give it a try and see if I could make the bracelet work for me.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
