I’m not a fan of the cold weather, but I am a fan of being cozy!! Chunky yarns are really in right now, creating big and comfy-cozy items to keep you warm. I like warm. So here is a warm and comfy round up to keep you…warm and comfy!
Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.
Pom poms and tassels are really big right now! (big…lol…I’m funny)
Really though, oversized everything seems to be the thing of the moment, and that includes pom poms and tassels of all shapes and sizes, though bigger does seem to be better. It’s all part of the BOHO fashion movement, and I have to say, I love it! So, I’ve found some fun free patterns full of pom poms and tassels for you.
If you need a hand making some tassels, I LOVE this tool, or you can see this post on making pom poms with a piece of cardboard. I also have a tutorial on making tassels that you can find here.

Last week, several of my friends and colleagues posted free crochet and knit patterns with French themes along with info on how you can help out in the wake of the Paris attacks. I have put together a round up of those patterns, along with a few other patterns that fit into the theme. At the end of the round up, you will find a list of ways you can help.

I’ve been seeing more and more gradient and ombre patterns popping up lately, and I love it! I’m quite fond of the way they can subtly move from one color into the next, so that you often can’t even notice where the changes happened! There are many ways to achieve this look, from a yarn that does it for you, to pacts of yarns made to work together as a gradient, to picking out the yarn colors on your own. I have searched around and found several examples of these fun color changes for this week’s round up!

Rawr!!!!!! Dinosaurs are so much fun for the littles! Really, I’ve never met a kid who didn’t love dinos. They are huge and fascinating and they ruled the world for a very, very, very long time!! We have enough dinosaur books in this house to get any budding paleontologist well on the way to success. So it seemed to me that a dinosaur round up would be a great idea.

Sometimes I get on kicks with my crochet, and currently I’m on a cable kick. I just love the texture and fun designs they create. There are several ways to make crochet cables, the most common of which is post stitch cables. Once you get the idea of how to make them down, they’re actually pretty easy! If you need a little help, here is a tutorial on crochet post stitch cables.
Now here is a collection of crochet patterns that feature cables which I have put together for you. Enjoy!!

With Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, and whatever other holidays just around the corner, many of us will be spending a decent amount of time in a car. I know when we take road trips to visit family for the holidays, I like to have a project to work on in the car, in the hotel, or even just while sitting around with friends and family. I find that I need my road trip projects to be simple enough that I can make them even if I am slightly distracted. I’ve searched around and found some patterns that I think will work nicely for road trips, I hope you enjoy them.

As the weather gets colder, I always seem to get the nesting bug. I guess I just like to make sure my home is cozy if we are all going to be cooped up in here for the next several months.

So, here are some crochet patterns to add to your table.
