MORE CROCHET WEDDING IDEAS FROM STEPH

In response to my recent post on wedding ideas, Steph from http://mylifeinknots.blogspot.com/

wrote some of HER great wedding ideas. These are too good not to pass on.

Thanks, Steph!

here’s some of mine and ideas.
1. make a covered hanger for the wedding gown or veil. Then either use
yarn, thread or ribbon and tie many pieces onto the hanger. Get plain
index cards and punch a hole into them. Ask each female member of the
family to write a note on a separate card about their wedding day, love,
inspirational etc and have it delivered to the bride when she’s getting
ready so she knows everyones thoughts and dreams for her day.

2. Make a crocheted bag. Depending on the wedding this could either be a
small purse for the bride to have to keep her lipstick in, cell phone
etc, or could be a money bag if you know they will be doing that at the
reception. Fill the bag with a few things like a crochet garter for the
bride and then a second garter to be thrown (make one blue). A lucky
penny holder, lipstick case, vintage handkerchief edged in crochet. Then
you could also place in a pair of earrings, choker or something you own
that she can borrow and give it as a shower gift. She now has something
old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a lucky penny
for her shoe.

guest book if they do not have a bible to keep from the ceremony also a
bible cover or guest book cover

4. Crochet the veil or part of it. Here is a link for a site that sells
them but could easily make this and attach organza, tulle or lace for a veil

This is one of those shawl patterns that feels instantly calming, even before you pick up a hook. The Forest Valley Shawl (After Party Pattern 23) by Scheepjes, available through Jimmy Beans Wool, has a very gentle, nature-inspired feel that really lives up to its name.

What I love about this design is how wearable it is. Some shawls are beautiful but awkward to style; this one feels practical in the best way. It drapes naturally, sits nicely on the shoulders, and works just as well for everyday wear as it does for something a little dressier. It’s the sort of piece you grab when the air cools in the evening and you don’t want anything heavy.

From a crochet perspective, this is a lovely “slow and steady” project. The stitch pattern has enough variation to keep your interest, but it’s not overly complicated. It’s very much the kind of crochet you can sink into — the sort that lets your mind wander while your hands keep moving. Perfect for quiet afternoons or evening crochet sessions.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate territory. If you’re comfortable following a pattern and keeping your stitch count in check, you’ll enjoy this a lot. It’s also a great pattern for appreciating beautiful yarn — especially colourways that shift and flow, as the shawl really lets them shine.

Overall, the Forest Valley Shawl is one of those free crochet patterns that feels thoughtful and soothing. It’s wearable, relaxing to make, and finished with a look that feels timeless rather than trendy. If you enjoy shawls that are as comforting to crochet as they are to wear, this one is definitely worth bookmarking.
