Happy #freebiefriday again friends! I hope you've all had a great week! This weeks pattern is a free crochet bear pattern! It's Chubby Bear! He's Cuddle Bear's companion. If you haven't seen last weeks free crochet pattern, Cuddle Bear, you can find it here--> Cuddle Bear crochet pattern. As I explained in last weeks post, amigurumi (crochet stuffies) used to intimidate me. That is, until I realized that not all ami's are created equal. Some are made with crochet thread and tiny hooks, while others (like this one) are made with thicker yarns and a bigger hook. This pattern is fairly simple, as it only uses the single crochet, single crochet increase and single crochet decrease stitches! If you need any help at all with this pattern, you can reach me at the links provided at the end of this post! I hope you love this pattern and Happy Crocheting!

Hello again friends! I'm changing things up a bit for this weeks #freepatternfriday. I got a really great deal on some Yarn Bee Cloud 9 yarn (which by the way is sooo soft). The first idea I had were for cuddly little teddy bears! I made 2 versions of them, the cuddle bear and the chubby bear (coming next Friday). It was nearly impossible to work with the Cloud 9 yarn by itself so I made it easier on myself, and you all, and decided to use a baby yarn (#3 size yarn) with it. If you've ever been intimidated by making amigurumi don't be! The only stitches used are single crochet, single crochet increase and single crochet decrease. I highly recommend using stitch markers also to help keep your place. Honestly, there was a time I was intimidated by amigurumis but I soon realized that it's not so bad (as long as I used a decent size hook and yarn, lol). I hope you enjoy this pattern and if you do please feel free to share this post with your friends! 

Even Berry Swiffer Refill Pattern

Who's ready for the final part of the 3 part Even Berry Collection?! Part one was the Even Berry Dish Cloth pattern and part 2 was the Even Berry Hand Towel pattern. Today's pattern is part 3, the Even Berry Reusable Swiffer Sweeper Refill pattern. These 3 together add an extra little something to any bathroom and work great for cleaning (and drying)! I do suggest however, that if you have a bigger family (like mine) or more space to clean, to make more then one refill. I use mine, then grab another as needed during the mopping process. I'm sure you could probably rinse, wring and reuse but I don't have time for that! Lol! Please note that the "berries" will "pop" out on every other berry row. I haven't tried it yet, but you could probably slip stitch a row somewhere between rounds 4-6 if you would like for all the berry rows to pop out on the same side. Just remember not to slip stitch too tight. I hope you love this pattern. If you do please consider sharing this post w/your crochet friends and also join my group on Facebook (link is at the bottom of this post). Happy crocheting!

Hello again friends! I'm back today to share another FREE crochet pattern! This weeks free pattern is a mustache cup cozy. Perfect for Fathers Day! It's simple yet functional. This cozy is made for a standard size coffee cup. Just slip it on and voila! This pattern is a beginner friendly pattern. The only stitches used are the Half Double Crochet and the Crab Stitch (AKA reverse single crochet). Don't fret if you've never done the crab stitch before, you will just be doing the single crochet but backwards. 😊 I hope you enjoy this pattern!

Happy Friday Friends! Its that time again! Freebie Friday! This weeks free crochet pattern is the Navajo Blanket pattern. This pattern uses the treble (aka triple) crochet stitch and back and front post stitches. Its not as hard as it may sound though. The edging is a shell stitch and gives it that perfect finishing touch. I made this blanket in a light worsted weight yarn but it can also be made in a thicker (or thinner) yarn. You could also make this blanket in solid colors and make your own color changes! The finished measurements when using a light worsted weight yarn and size H crochet hook are 50x34 inches.

            Did you happen to see my last pattern, the reusable Swiffer Sweeper Pad? After writing up and releasing that pattern I had the idea to make a reversible cleaning pad. Makes sense right? Why only have one that mops? Most of us sweep before mopping right? This reusable swiffer pad can be used wet (for mopping) or dry (for sweeping). *Side note- I don't suggest using it for sweeping and then immediately using it for mopping right after. The dirt collected from the sweeping side would probably make the mop water dirty. I would suggest, however, to make at least 2 of the reversible pads then you can choose which to use for sweeping and which to use for mopping.* 

            I consider this pattern to be an intermediate pattern due to the more advanced stitches used (the loop stitch and the bobble stitch). If you are looking for a more beginner friendly pattern, please consider checking out the reusable swiffer sweeper pad pattern. As always, I hope you like this pattern and if you do, please consider sharing this post with your crochet friends! If you happen to come across a mistake in the pattern please let me know either by commenting at the end of this post, sending me a message on ravelry, or sending a message on Facebook.

Its almost a week post Easter. Anyone else still finding Easter grass laying around? We sure are! We'll probably still be finding it in the cracks of the couch come Christmas! Ha! (Five kids, need I say more? 😉) Speaking of kids and cleaning up...does anyone else use a swiffer but don't always have the refills? That happens to me, often. 🤦 Well, today I want to share with you how to crochet a reusable swiffer pad! Just toss in the wash when you're done and have it ready for the next time you need it! Now, without further ado...*insert dramatic music* 🤣 the pattern! 

Crochet Hair Scrunchies~3 Ways!

Crochet Hair Scrunchies

3 Ways!

Hi again crochet friends! Today's FREE crochet pattern is a throwback to the '80's. We have THREE ways to make hair scrunchies! There's a smaller, beginner version. A larger, beginner version. And a larger, intermediate version. Don't be intimidated by the intermediate version though! I don't consider it a beginner pattern only because you will be working your hair elastic inside a tube that you'll be making. It's easier then it sounds, I promise! 

I've made 4 scrunchies now and they definitely aren't just lying around the house! I have 4 daughters that wear them! One of them should of been born in the '80's! Lol! She loves scrunchies (she has a collection!) and high waisted jeans! Who will you be making scrunchies for?! Let me know in the comment section below (at the bottom of this page)! 

Now without further ado....the patterns! I hope you all enjoy making them as much as I do!
