Grab an inexpensive sweatshirt and create something unique and original in a couple of hours.  I’d love to see these motifs used as little white pockets on a bright, red shirt.  See the pattern and other ideas here.  The edging is purely optional!

This beautiful Chunky Cowl will workup very quickly with the proper yarn.  And what a great gift this will be – or a great treat for yourself!  Get the free pattern here and see more pictures of it.  Crochet it in a sparkly yarn for a stunning New Year’s Eve fashion accessory.  Whoever wears it will feel very posh.

 

These cute little PomPoms would work perfectly for their intended use – as hair ties – but I could also see them used as package toppers, parts of a garland, or small ornaments.  What do you think?  You can get the quick free pattern right here.

Finally, here is another teeny, tiny item you can work up quickly and use in a variety of ways.  Use up those partial skeins of thread or yarn.  Make as ornaments, package toppers, hair ties, appliques, etc.  You’ll find a bunch of ways to use them.  The free pattern and tutorial aren’t in English, but you won’t have any trouble following along to make your own.

  7. Karen,
    No specific pattern was given for this pocket. I included it because of the idea of using a crocheted piece as a pocket.

The Forest Valley Shawl – Crochet Pattern

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.
