Crochet Baby Countdown Blanket (Set 1)

I’ve wanted to create this granny square project for a while and what better time than while being pregnant. I love the fruit and vegetable themed baby size countdown (or should it be count-up?) from What to Expect. Each month this year, I plan to release at least one set of four granny squares inspired by the What to Expect baby size timeline. The squares will begin at week 4 and continue through week 40. Once all the sets are completed, I will make a post detailing how I connect everything. This is a great project for anyone who enjoys large projects worked up over a longer time period. Jump in at any week/set you wish. *This post contains weeks 4-7*

Crochet Fallwist Fakepops

Round two for these wonderful little amis! After creating the Seabreeze Fakepops this past summer, I was enamored and knew I wanted to design some equally adorable fall friends. These fake food crochet animals were inspired by my love for all things Hogwarts as well as Halloween snack nostalgia. Each crochet fall creature in this sweet collection was inspired by magical pets and classic autumn treats. The honey dipper design makes each animal easy to display with any of your fall or Halloween decor

Crochet Duel Kitchen Linens

“The gingham dog and the calico cat side by side on the table sat.”~ The Duel. My favorite poem growing up. This classic gingham pattern was born from nostalgia and looks amazing anywhere in the kitchen. It’s great for adding a little color to your culinary space and the Coboo yarn gives these towels a lovely, soft texture. These linens are also a fun and easy way to decorate for brunch or teatime. The color choice? Perfect for use in every season.

Crochet Nixie Mermaid Doll

What’s the summer without a little mermaid fun? Growing up, I remember countless summers filled with pool time. We had all sorts of games we’d play. We’d do handstands and flips, see who could create the best George Washington hairdo, and giggle our way through Marco Polo. But one of our favorite things to play was mermaids. We’d gather toys and tidbits as our treasures, pretend we could brush our wet hair with forks, and practically live under the water. This crochet mermaid doll is a representation of what I always imagined to be the perfect mermaid. I’m so pleased with how Nixie turned out and I hope you’ll love her too!

Crochet Beachtide Puzzle Sorter

When I think of summer one of the places that always comes to mind is the beach. I’m transported back to childhood vacations filled with sand and sun. We had so much energy! In the evenings (or on rainy days), my family would turn our focus to assembling a puzzle. We would open the box, spill all the pieces on the table, separate edges, and go. Now, I would love to bring this tradition to my little one. This pattern is reminiscent of the tide washing up and down the sand, and it helps to keep all puzzle pieces on the table. It’s perfect for long time puzzle lovers and newbies alike!

Crochet Starspangle Mini Throw

It’s that red, white, and blue season between Memorial Day and July 4th. Time to break out your festive, patriotic decor. This eight-point star is the perfect size for laying on a tabletop or tossing over the back of a chair. Why eight points? I’m a little corny and I love adding personal touches to my patterns; my husband and I have been together for eight years now. Told ya. Corny.
