I’m diving into Valentine’s Day Crochet projects and came up with a little heart design that can be used for a variety of projects! A basic heart becomes a circle that can be as small or big as you’d like. Keep increasing for a larger blanket sized circle or add just a few rounds and use it as bunting, a coaster, and/or appliqués. I’m sure you will think of many other ways to use this pattern and I can wait to see what you come up with!

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in white, Pale Plum, Orchid, and Medium Purple.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle

We will start with a heart and then transform it into a circle. Feel free to keep going and make it as large as you’d like! The heart circle that I demonstrate in my YouTube Video below measures 5×5 inches.

I ended up making a foot stool cover! I got the foot stool at Five Below for $5! I continued the heart circle pattern until I got to the increase of “2 SC in first, SC in next 12” and then I made 30 more rounds of SC stitches. It slips right over the stool and is adorable in Zoe’s room! Plus it’s removable and washable. You could make it in many different colors! You can see my TikTok Video on how I put together this SweatHeart Foot Stool Cover HERE.

I have a mini Christmas Tree in my crochet room that is full of colorful yarn themed ornaments! I wanted to crochet a small tree skirt for it and came across this bright color-striped Red Heart Pompom Trimmed Tree Skirt on Yarnspirations.com! I love how the colors matched my pompom garland exactly! Plus it was super quick to work up and I had all the Red Heart Super Saver yarn on hand. You could actually use any color combinations of your choice. Lots of ways to customize this tree skirt!

You can find the Red Heart Pompom Trimmed Tree Skirt Pattern HERE (It’s FREE!) but keep in mind that this one fits a regular size Christmas Tree.

So I made a few small adjustments to the pattern to make it smaller for my mini tree…

I stared with a chain of 32 instead of 53. Then follow the pattern as written. You will end up with only 5 pompom points instead of 9. That’s it!
Just keep crocheting in rows of colors (white in-between) as stated in the pattern. Easy-peasy!

Show me your Christmas trees! Tag me on social media using #RepeatCrafterMe. And if you make this Red Heart Pompom Trimmed Tree Skirt be sure to tag #Yarnspirations and let them know how much you love it!

They are the dynamic duo! The Snowman and Gingerbread Man are two of my favorite holiday characters that are always cute and sweet to crochet. I spotted THIS adorable Red Heart Snowman Stocking Pattern on the Yarnspirations website and couldn’t resist crocheting one for myself! Then I was inspired to make a second one in a gingerbread theme! I could really keep going and make even more cute Christmas stockings 🙂

The pattern is extremely easy! Just rows of single crochet stitches, switching color as desired or as the pattern calls for. You will crochet two separate pieces and then stitch (or crochet ) the two pieces together along the edges. I love this technique because it makes it very easy to add embellishments like the button eyes and carrot nose!

Kids Slipper Socks just got even cuter with the use of Red Heart Super Saver Ombre Yarn! These comfy and cute slipper socks are crocheted in one piece so that there’s a gradual color gradient from the tip of the toe to the stretchy band along the top edge. If you aren’t familiar with this yarn, you have to check it out! It comes in 18 beautiful bright colors (I am used Coral) and have plans to make a second pair in Deep Teal.

Sizing: Yes, this pattern only comes in one child size BUT you could continue to increase (beginning at the toe portion) to make these socks bigger. I did attempt to make myself a pair but wasn’t thrilled with how big and bulky they turned out (it looked like a Christmas stocking LOL!) so I decided to stick with the child size. Keep in mind that yarn has a lot of stretch so I am confident that these socks would be a good fit for a range of sizes.

I wanted to show you what could be created with the Crochet Heart Granny Square I posted a few days ago! I made 4 large squares and joined them together for a quick and easy (and adorably cute blanket!) The squares can be made as large (or small) as you’d like and they are so quick to crochet because by the time you get to round 6, the pattern repeats with simple DC stitches. Feel free to change colors after each row or create a striped pattern as I did! This is the perfect gift for a baby or Valentine’s Day… although I think this whimsical heart is fun to crochet for any occasion!

Heart projects are great to make all year round but especially around Valentine’s Day! I made a cute and whimsical heart granny square that can be used for so many different projects! Continue the granny square to make a big blanket or make multiple squares and stitch them together, or how about a pillow?! Tons of options! You can even just stop after making the heart part and use it as an appliqué.

It seemed appropriate to this super sweet Heart Blanket during Valentine’s week! But I think the simple stripes and fuzzy heart make this blanket perfect for any time of year. Especially adorable for a baby gift or baby shower. So many color combo possibilities too! The main striped blanket is crocheted with Bernt Super Value yarn and the giant heart applique is made of the soft and fuzzy Bernat Pipsqueak yarn. I know pipsqueak yarn can be intimidating to work with so I used two strands while I was crocheting the heart: one strand of pipsqueak yarn in white and one strand of caron simply soft in white. This way you can see and count your stitches. Plus the fuzzy pipsqueak yarn covers up all traces of the caron simply soft in the finished piece!

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value in Baby Pink (2 skeins)
– Bernat Super Value in White (one skein)
– Bernat Pipsqueak in White (one skein)
– Caron Simply Soft in White (one skein – optional)
– Size H Crochet Hook for main blanket
– Size I (5.5mm) Hook for heart applique
– Tapestry Needle
– Large Clover Pom-Pom Maker (optional)

Finished Size: 40 inches wide x 45 inches tall

Add 4 fluffy Bernat Pipsqueak pom-poms to the corners!

Cuddle up with this cute blanket!

Do your kids have jeans with rips or holes in them? Or could the pants use some flare?! These simple little crochet hearts made from Bernat Pipsqueak Yarn are a cute way to make fashion fun! Hearts, stars, circles, and more! You could use any crochet shape to patch up the jeans. I thought these fuzzy pipsqueak hearts would be perfect for Zoe, especially since Valentine’s Day is only about a month away!

Materials:
– Bernat Pipsqueak Yarn in color Tickle Me Pink (100g). Shop at Yarnspirations.com.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Small/Sharp Tapestry Needle
– Embroidery floss or thin yarn
– Jeans or overalls with rips/tears. I got the ones pictured HERE on Amazon (aff) 

Crochet Heart Pattern:
Chain 7, SC in 2nd chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, ch 1, turn (6 SC)
Row 2-3: SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn (6 SC)
Row 4: SC in first 3 stitches, ch 1, turn (3 SC)
Row 5-7: SC in each stitch across, ch1, turn (3 SC)
When you get to the lats row,  continue to SC around the heart. When you get to bottom stitch (the one with the your slip knot) SC + Chain 1 + SC all in one stitch.
Then when you get to the top “v” indent, slip stitch (instead of SC). Join, fasten off and weave in ends (or leave a long tail you are using it as an appliqué).
Note: I didn’t SC around the inner part of the heart (the part with the “v” indent”). I found the heart kept it’s shape better this way when using the furry yarn.

Tiny Heart:
Chain 5, SC in 2nd chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, ch 1, turn (4 SC)
Row 2: SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn (4 SC)
Row 3: SC in first 2 stitches, ch 1, turn (2 SC)
Row 4: SC in each stitch across, fasten off (2 SC)

Here’s a quick little project for you to make in time for Valentine’s Day! Crochet Conversation Hearts can display a variety of messages on the top (whatever you want to stitch on!) and can be used so many ways! As you can see I made a headband for Zoe but these could be stand alone valentines, key chains, pencil toppers, appliqués, seasonal decor, or add them to a wreath. I basically used my Crochet Puffy Hearts pattern and show you how to add on the stitching in the video below.

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn. I used colors Lavendar, Baby Pink, Yellow, and Red for . Shop all colors HERE at Yarnspirations.com.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Poly-fil Fiber Stuffing
– Tapestry Needle
– Headband and glue gun

Puffy Hearts Pattern:
Make two in same color
Chain 7, SC in 2nd chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, ch 1, turn (6 SC)
Row 2-3: SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn (6 SC)
Row 4: SC in first 3 stitches, ch 1, turn (3 SC)
Row 5-7: SC in each stitch across, ch1, turn (3 SC)

When you get to the last row, continue to SC around entire heart. When you get to bottom stitch (the one with the your slip knot) SC + Chain 1 + SC all in one stitch. Then when you get to the top “v” indent, slip stitch (instead of SC). Join, fasten off and weave in ends.

Stitch on the lettering using 2-ply yarn (carefully split apart your 4-ply worsted weight yarn so it’s only two strands) and use tapestry needle to stitch on the letters. Video below may help! Bernat Super Value yarn works great for this.

Take 2 of the same color heart and place one on top of the other. Instead of SC the edges together (like I did in the original Puffy Hearts blog post, I decided to just stitch them together with a tapestry needle, working under the tops of the SC stitches around the edges. Stuff lightly with poly-fil before completely closing up. This just makes the hearts a little smaller (since I was gluing them to a headband) but you could do it either way!

Crochet around a headband (totally optional) but you can find the tutorial for that HERE,

I hot glued the hears to the headband but you could also sew them on with your tapestry needle or use them for a different project!

Here is some other project inspiration 🙂

If you’ve been following my blog for awhile you know I can’t get enough of owl projects! Scroll through my blog, you will see plenty of owl crafts and owl crochet patterns… even fun owl cupcakes! This sweet crochet owl is perfect for Valentine’s Day because he has a little heart on his tummy.

You got a sneak peek of these Crochet Puffy Hearts in my yarn wrapped LOVE letters post and now I am going to show you how to make them! Much easier than you might think! The hearts are actually worked in rows and then once you have two of them made, you stitch them together with SC stitches, stuffing with poly-fil before you close.

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn. I used colors Magenta, Dark Mauve, Baby Pink, Winter White and Lavendar. Shop all colors at Yarnspirations.com.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Poly-fil Fiber Stuffing
– Tapestry Needle

Finished Size: 3×2 inches

Puffy Hearts Pattern:
Make two in same color

Chain 7, SC in 2nd chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, ch 1, turn (6 SC)
Row 2-3: SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn (6 SC)
Row 4: SC in first 3 stitches, ch 1, turn (3 SC)
Row 5-7: SC in each stitch across, ch1, turn (3 SC)

When you get to the last row, continue to SC around entire heart. When you get to bottom stitch (the one with the your slip knot) SC + Chain 1 + SC all in one stitch. Then when you get to the top “v” indent, slip stitch (instead of SC). Join, fasten off and weave in ends.

Take 2 of the same color heart and place one on top of the other. SC the edges together, when you get to the bottom make a SC + chain 1 + SC all in one stitch. Continue to SC around and when you get to the top indent of the heart, slip stitch instead of SC. Be sure to stuff with polyfil before closing!

Keep your eye on Yarnspirations.com to see what I did with these Puffy Hearts! One of my projects will be featured on their website soon 🙂 You can follow Yarnspirations on Facebook and Instagram.

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner you might be looking for some cute but simple decor ideas. Look no further! Using the corner-to-corner crochet method, you can whip up a Valentine’s Heart Table Runner in no time! Plus you can make it as long or short as you’d like by adding or leaving off one or more hearts to the design. My runner is 64 inches long and 12 inches wide (not including the tassels). Whether you are planning a romantic dinner or take-out with the kids, this decor idea will brighten your table and put you in a festive mood!

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Berry, Baby Pink, and Winter White. You only need 1 skein of each. Shop these colors and more at Yarnspirations.com.
– Size H crochet hook
– Tapestry Needle

If you aren’t familiar with the C2C technique, I have a video class available HERE for purchase that teaches you this technique! The Crochet Crowd also has a very helpful video tutorial for FREE that shows you the basic technique of corner-to-corner crochet. Check that out HERE.

First you will want to download the Valentine’s Heart Runner Pixel Graph.
You can do that HERE.

Next you will want to download the pixel graph with the end pieces of Valentine’s Heart Runner. You can do that HERE. You will need to crochet two of these pieces.

UPDATE! Thanks to Keilanna Hammond for taking the time to create a written pattern from the table runner graph! She typed out all the instructions for each row to make it easier for some of you, especially since some of you are printing your graph in gray scale. GET THE WRITTEN PATTERN HERE.

Once you have crocheted your two end pieces, you will want to transform the edge with ridges to a smooth edge so you can sew it onto either end of your heart runner.

To smooth the ridges:

Slip stitch across first 3 stitches and slip stitch over the chain 3 which brings you to the first “dip,” HDC in first stitch in the dip, SC in next, slip stitch in next, Slip Stitch over the chain 3. Now you are at the next dip. HDC, SC, slip stitch, slip stitch over chain 3. Repeat all the way down.

Now you are ready to sew the triangle ends on!

Weave long strand and tapestry needle back and forth under the SC stitches on both sides.

Now join red yarn at any point on the edge and SC evenly around entire piece making a SC+chain 2+SC on the two pointed ends. A good way to keep your stitches even along the edge is to alternate between making 2 SC and then 3 SC along each “square.” You will want to make two rounds of SC along the edges.

Now switch to white yarn and make one last round of SC stitches around the entire edge. Remember to make a SC+chain 2+SC on the two pointed ends.
Add a little frill to the last round of your border! SC, chain 4, skip one stitch, SC to next, chain 4, skip one stitch, SC to next, repeat around.
Add a yarn tassel to each end to complete the piece!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Heart Eyes is the first square is my Emoji C2C Crochet Graphgan! If you missed the sneak peek on Facebook and Instagram no worries, here are the details: I am creating a 9-square corner-to-corner (C2C) blanket just like my Christmas Character Afghan but smaller. The squares are 15×15 pixels (where as my Christmas characters were 25×25) and each one has a different emoji face on it! And because of the consistent colors, smaller size, and less color changes, the pieces work up faster. It took me about 1.5 hours to make one square. If you aren’t up for creating an entire blanket, you can use the squares individually! The Heart Eyes Emoji would make a great pillow cover for Valentine’s day or even a small lovey blanket!

If you are new to the C2C technique you can find several tutorials on how to begin. The Crochet Crowd has a great video tutorial that you can watch HERE. You can also refer to the videos and picture tutorials in my Baby Sheep C2C or my Owl C2C for more instruction.

Materials:
– Size G Crochet Hook
– Worsted Weight Yarn in Yellow, Red, Brown, White, Pink, Black and Blue. I am using Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Mustard, Scarlett, Chocolate, Pink, White, Black and Aqua. You only need about 1 skein for each piece… I think I was able to get two squares out of  1.5 skeins of white and yellow. Obviously the smaller features use a less yarn.
– Tapestry needle

Finished Square is approx 12 x 12 inches.

You can download the Heart Eyes Graph HERE.

NOTE: I made a last minute decision to leave off the orange and only use yellow. I am leaving the graphs with the orange border just in case you decide you want to crochet yours like that. If you are up for the extra color change I think the emoji’s will look great with the orange! Or you can leave the orange squares yellow as I did.

Color Change Pattern for Heart Eye Emoji:
Pattern does not include orange. Yellow is used for all.

Increase Rows:

Row 1: 1W

Row 25: 5W
Row 26: 4W
Row 27: 3W
Row 28: 2W
Row 29: 1W

Continue to SC around the edge. I alternated between 2 SC and 3 SC stitch per each pixel square along the edge and a SC + chain 2 + SC in the corners.

The best part about these emoji’s is that most of them look the same when reversed so you can choose whichever side looks better when you are done crocheting to be your front of the blanket!

You excited for this series?! I am! Stay tuned for square #2!

I’ve been anxious to get my hands on the new Red Heart O’Go yarn in color Christmas! Tis the season for starting on those holiday gifts! You can get at least 2 pairs of socks from each O’Go and I love this new colorway! The fun part this project is rolling up the sock to put in a paper baking cups to make them look like a cupcake. Perfect for gift giving! The paper cups I had only fit one sock so you will gift two cupcakes = one pair of socks.

Materials:

– Red Heart O’Go Yarn in Christmas
Shop Red Heart Super Saver O’Go Christmas Yarn HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Small Clover Pom-pom maker
– Paper Baking Cups (Get them HERE)

Easy Sock Pattern: (fits size 5/6 with notes on how to make larger)

Magic ring, chain 1 and make 8 SC in ring, join to first SC, chain 1 (8 SC)
Round 2: 2 SC in first, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1 (12 SC)
Round 3: 2 SC in first, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 1 (16 SC)
Round 4: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (16 SC)
Round 5: 2 SC in first, SC in next 3, repeat around, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 6: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 7: 2 SC in first, SC in next 4, repeat around, chain 1 (24 SC)
Round 8-15: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (24 SC)

Now we are going to work in rows to make the heel. If you want to make the slipper socks bigger, now is a good place to continue a few more rounds before starting on the heel. You could also increase after Round 7 (SC in first, SC in next 5, repeat around, chain 1)

ROW 16: SC in first 12, chain 1, turn (12 SC)
Row 17-20: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
Row 21: SC in first 2, SC Decrease 4x, SC in last 2, chain 1, turn (8 SC)
Row 22: SC in first, SC Decrease 3x, SC in last, chain 1, turn (5 SC)
Row 23: SC Decrease, SC, SC Decrease, chain 1, turn (3 SC)
Row 24: SC Decrease (skip over middle stitch), chain 1, turn

Now go back into working in rounds

Round 25: SC in each stitch around making a total of 32 stitches (do the best you can on rough edges), join, chain 1 (32 SC)
Round 26-27: SC around making a SC Decrease in two corners, join, chain 1 (see photos)
Round 28-34 or desired length: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Fasten off and weave in ends.

The great thing about O’Go yarn is that you can separate it so if you want your second sock to have the same color sequence as the first sock, you can separate your O’Go to start with the correct color. As you can see in my example, I started both socks with green and used the white portion to make my small pom-poms!

Roll them up and put them in a cupcake baking cup!

Check out my little TikTok video about these socks HERE: https://www.tiktok.com/@repeatcrafterme/video/7017927626576645381?is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=7017958733532677637

Every year when I start getting the itch to crochet a few things for the Fall season, I always seem to gravitate back to my favorite pumpkin! The Caron Harvest Crochet Pumpkins is an absolute MUST make! Super simple stitches make the grooves of the pumpkin (you basically just alternate between SC and DC) and there’s very little sewing at the end. You can find this pattern HERE for free on Yarnspirations.com and the best part is that it comes in 3 different sizes!! You can make a variety of colors and sizes!

GET THE PUMPKIN PATTERN HERE ON YARNSPIRATIONS.COM

This year I decided to take this easy pattern and a few embellishments to make a Pumpkin Kitty! When the basic pattern is this well written, it makes it fun to put your own twist on it! So instead of using Caron yarn I decided to use Red Heart Super Saver in color….yep you guessed it… PUMPKIN! And I followed the small size as written in the Yarnspirations pattern download.

To add the cat ears:
With orange yarn
chain 5, SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down, chain 1, turn
Row 2: SC Decrease twice, chain 1, turn
Row 3: SC in each stitch (2 SC), chain 1, turn
Row 4: SC Decrease, conintue to SC around entire ear making 2 SC in each of the bottom corners, fasten off and weave in ends.
With black yarn, join to bottom right hand corner,
2 SC in corner and then SC in back loops only around two sides of ear, make 2 SC in the top of the ear and another 2 SC in the other corner, leave bottom of ear unworked.

Use a Large Black Safety nose and fabric glue to secure some black yarn strands for the whiskers.
Place two black safety eyes about 6 stitches apart of the eyes.

Happy Fall! Now that it’s September 1st I can say that, right? I don’t know about you but I am definitely getting into the spirt of the Fall season over here and decorating has begun! One of my favorite Fall Holiday shows is “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.” Such a classic! And when I saw the beautiful Gold and Black O’Go yarn colors next to each other, it made me think of Charlie Browns shirt!

When I set out to make a chevron striped blanket, I thought it would be a simple. But then I realized most chevron crochet blankets start out a with a zig-zag and then continue it throughout the entire piece. Very rarely would you ever see one stripe of chevron among rows of straight single crochet stitches. So I had my work cut out for me. After several days of frogging and re-crocheting, I think I got the stitch count perfected for the chevron!

The bulk of the blanket (like I mentioned) is straight rows of single crochet stitches. The only time you will switch up stitches and get a little fancy is when you are making the chevron. I am going to post the written pattern and then when I figure out how to make a smaller sample, I will film a tutorial for my YouTube Channel. I do not have a stitch count for a larger or smaller blanket at the moment.

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver O’Go Yarn in color Gold and Black. You will need 3 of the gold O’Go’s and one of the black.
Check out this new format of yarn HERE on Yarnspirations.com! The same gold color is also available in skein format in the Red Heart Super Saver line as well.
– Size H crochet hook

It’s the perfect blanket for any Peanuts fan! Now you need to pair it with a Snoopy plushie!

There’s a brand new yarn hitting shelves today! Introducing O’Go! After years of tangles, the revolutionary new yarn is finally here. O’Go is a new yarn format the is tangle-free and quick start. No more searching for the starting strand or dealing with yarn barf. Just O’Go and Go! You can find it in your favorite brands: Bernat, Red Heart, and Caron. I have all the details below!

The evolution of yarn:

Now we have the O’Go!

Here is the yarn overview:

The yarn is NOT replacing the ball/skein you are used to purchase. Also, it has the exact same yardage/ounces as the skein of the same yarn! The benefits are that it’s in a new tangle-free quick start format and you have the color play option!

How does O’Go work?
When you take it out of the packaging, it looks like a ring. Find the where the two ends meet and snip the plastic fastener. Pull the fastener string out and the start stitching as you pull from the outer end! Easy-peasy and tangle free!

The Red Heart Super Saver O’Go comes in both solid and self-striping. You can let it color stripe (no knots in the color changes!) or you can color play. Easily separate the colors by pulling apart where each color meets in the O’Go. Then you can cut and separate and use as you’d like. For instance, the rainbow color O’Go would be great to use for a Unicorn or Rainbow project. You wouldn’t have to buy multiple skeins.

How do you store O’Go? If you have just started your project and want to set it in your project tote, lay it in there with the working side pointed upward. It won’t collapse or come apart. If you want to put it away for later and/or have separated the colors, you can try storing it in a ziplock bag.

The packaging was made with retailers in mind. It can sit upright on shelves or it can be hung on a peg. For at home storage of your O’Go’s you have lots of options! I say stack them! Check out THIS storage solution video from The Crochet Crowd.

Where can I buy O’Go? All of the O’Go yarn styles and colors can be purchased HERE on Yarnspirations.com!

Check out this chart for Retailer Availability:

How much does O’Go Cost? Right now they range from $5 to $12 depending on if you are purchasing the Red Heart or the Bernat Blanket but keep in mind that retailers set their own pricing and sales! Keep checking all the sites and Yarnspirations.com for future price adjustments.

Here’s another fun Back to School pattern! This School Bus Granny Square can be made into blanket or used as the center embellishment for a tote bag or even made into a cute little pocket pouch! My kids are taking the bus for the first time ever this year (we never had bus service near our house until now) and we are so excited to make a sweet little gift out of this granny square for our bus driver!

Make this piece with Red Heart Super Yarn or any other similar worsted weight yarn in bright bus colors!

Materials:
– Red Heart Yarn in colors: Gold, Black, White, and Turqua.
Shop all colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Optional: small red buttons, 1 inch yellow buttons, and any other things you’d like to jazz up your bus!

Finished Size: Approximately 6×6 inches

Starting with black yarn…
Chain 16, SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain,
Join in yellow yarn and chain 1, turn
Row 2-9: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
Row 10-14: SC in first 2 stitches, join in white yarn, SC in next 11 stitches, SC in last two stitches, chain 1, turn (It helps to carry the yarn as you crochet to avoid weaving in a bunch of ends)
Row 15-17: SC in each stitch across (just yellow yarn), chain 1, turn
Do not fasten off
Now let’s work on the border…
Border Row 1: SC around each side of square. You will need to switch to black yarn along the bottom and then back to yellow for the other side of the square. On the rough edges of the square you will make 12 SC in yellow and and 2 SC in black. Make a SC + Chain 2 + SC in each corner.
Join in blue yarn…
Border row 2-4: SC in each stitch around and SC + Chain 2 + SC in each corner. If you want to add the wheels then you will switch to black yarn for 3 stitches on either side of the bus for rows 2 & 3. You can also add wheels on afterward by adding black buttons or crocheting circles (or half circles: magic ring, chain 1 and make 6 HDC in ring, do not join, pull tight).

Embellish!
Add on buttons for the lights (or crochet circles)
Add on a little license plate with felt or foam!
Lots of ways to customize this cute little bus!

And here are two more versions I made (and shared with you guys on my Repeat Crafter Me Facebook page). I’ve been playing around with different ways to embelish and design this granny square. As you can see, you can create your own unique version!

Bucket hats are back! And although the ones featured in this post are cute for kids, you could make a very neutral hat in adult size and wear it for extra shade as well as a stylish accessory. Add embellishments like crocheted eyes and pincher claws for a crab or a green hat with buggy frog eyes. Lots of ways to adorn this adorable hat!

NOTE: if you don’t want to use safety eyes start eye pattern using black yarn, switch to a round of white for Round 2 and then Round 3 will remain the same using the main hat color.

Rd 6: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 3 stitches, repeat around (10 SC)
Rd 7: SC in each stitch around (10 SC)
Fasten off and set aside for a moment

Magic ring, chain 1 in ring, make 4 SC in ring, continue to crochet in rounds

Rd 3: SC in each stitch around (6 SC)
Rd 4: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2 stitches, repeat around (8 SC)
Rd 5: SC in each stitch around (8 SC)Do not fasten off.

Now you are going to connect the two claws. Begin to SC where you left off in big claw to begin attaching them. SC all the way around both claws. You should have 18 Single crochets but don’t worry if your stitch count is off. It really doesn’t matter 

Rd 2: SC around (18 SC)
Rd 3: SC decrease in each stitch around
Rd 4-6: SC in each stitch around (9 SC)
Fasten off leaving long tail to sew onto hat.

What started as a “whaley” cute crochet appliqué can quickly be turned into a shark appliqué as well! And I must have good timing because I’m pretty sure it’s Shark Week! They measure about 6×5 inches although you could make them smaller by using thinner yarn and going down a hook size. As you can see the shark is a bit smaller only because the gray yarn was a bit thinner and my tension was tighter. Great project to attach to a hat, blanket, romper and more!

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Light Periwinkle (Whale) or Light Gray (Shark)
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in White
Shop these colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Safety Eyes

To celebrate our move to Phoenix and in honor of Arizonas gorgeous sunsets, I crocheted a Sunset Blanket! Very easy to use colors that are already in your stash. This is a mix of yarn from Yarnspirations.com. Mostly Red Heart Super Saver but with a few Bernat Super Value shades thrown in for a gorgeous gradient of colors that looks like the sun is setting over the desert landscape. I framed the finished blanket with a solid black border using a very easy SC in the back loop technique that I will explain more about below.

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Pale Yellow
– Red Heart with Love Daffodil
– Red Heart Super Saver Coral
– Red Heart Super Saver Flamingo
– Bernat Super Value Magenta
– Bernat Super Value Light Damson
– Red Heart Super Saver Dark Orchid
– Red Heart Super Saver Black
Shop all shades HERE on Yarnspirations.com
I didn’t use more than one skein of each
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry needle

Finished Size: 28 x 34 inches but you could make it bigger by making your starting chain longer.
Note: my blanket is pretty small.. more like a stroller baby blanket size so I suggest starting your blanket with a chain count of more than 100.

I chose to use the grit stitch because I like the texture and look but you could absolutely just use the basic single crochet stitch in repeating rows to make this blanket. The grit stitch is 2 SC, skip a stitch, 2 SC in next. Pretty easy!

Chain 87, SC in second chain from hook, skip a chain, 2 SC in chain, skip a chain, *2 SC in next, skip a chain, repeat from * until you get to the last chain, make one SC in the last chain, chain 1, turn
Row 2: SC in first stitch, skip a stitch, *2 SC in next stitch, skip a stitch, repeat from * until you get to the last stitch, make one SC in the last stitch, chain 1, turn.
Repeat row 2 until you get 16 rows. Then add in a new color and crochet 16 rows of each color until finished!

To begin the border you will want to crochet around our blanket evenly with SC in black yarn. Then get started on THIS simple Single Crochet in the Back Loop Border by friends over at Daisy Farm Crafts! They have a very easy and popular video tutorial on how to make this gorgeous border. There is no awkward corner turns and you will not need to attach any pieces at the end. Such a great technique!

Let me see your sunset blanket! You could even add on a black appliqués of a cactus or sun or any thing else that could be a silhouette in the foreground! Tag me on social media using @repeatcrafterme or #repeatcrafterme. And let Yarnspirations know if you use their yarn by using #redheartyarn or #yarnspirations in your posts!
