Basic Crochet Tools (English version)

I thought about uploading English versions of my videos to reach out to more people, since we are living in a multi-culural society.

So here it is!

I am sharing this with you in hopes it will help anyone get started with crochet.

Free Pattern for a Granny Square Coaster

Hello guys! Today I am sharing my first free pattern of Granny Square Coasters. You can play with the colors as you wish, either make it multi-colored like my picture or make it all from one color. I just love pastel colors, they give out a smooth sense of serenity that goes with that cup of coffee/tea in the morning. Anyways, without further ado, here comes the pattern (written in US terms): Material: 4 mm crochet hook. Nako Saten (Straw, Light Blue, Coral Reef, Quartz, Blue Glass, Romantic Pink) Tapestry Needle.

Free Pattern Wrist Warmers with Stone Washed XL from Scheepjes

Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted here (again). It's really hard to get things in order, but it's best not to give up and just change tactics. I am taking my time to get my ducks in a row so that I don't lower any expectations. So today I am writing about one of my recent projects, which is wrist warmers with Stone Washed XL from Scheepjes. You have no idea how good this yarn is. It's made up of 70% cotton and 30% acrylic so it's so soft. I had no problem at all crocheting with it.

Let's Catch Up!

I haven't updated my blog in some time now. I have been running around the city for some fun events with my family and also a little sick. However, rest assured my hook wasn't idle 😉. Im excited to announce that the countdown has started for the giveaway with my fellow blogger Zahrah . Less that 24 hours to announce 2 lucky winners to win amazing handmade crochet gifts, so make sure you head to Instagram and fellow the steps on the post . Yesterday, I was thinking about the packaging for the giveaways and I decided to make origami gift boxes ( I just had to give it a personal touch and go on with the "all-handmade" bit 😀). I found a great tutorial video and it was so easy, I had so much fun making it! the boxes look even cuter than the gifts themselves. Happy Women's International Day! Also, I have been working on my sister's-in-law baby gift, we agreed to go for a snuggle blanket or a buddy blanket and I found a beautiful elephant snuggle with free ...
