Happy #freebiefriday friends! Now that Halloween is past us, I've started thinking ahead to Thanksgiving! The first thing that came to mind was pumpkin pie! And what goes with pumpkin pie? Whipped cream of course! There was no way I could of left the whipped cream off! Ha ha! This pumpkin pie pattern starts in the middle, with the whipped cream and works outward, ending with the crust. I consider this a beginner friendly pattern because it consists of single, half double and double crochets. It uses shell stitches but they are made up of half double crochets and double crochets. If you're looking for more fall inspired patterns, be sure to check out my Falling Leaves Dish Cloth and my crochet pumpkins. I hope you enjoy this pattern! If you do, be sure to join my Facebook group (linked below) and subscribe to this blog (the subscribe button is in the upper right corner of this page) to stay notified of upcoming pattern releases. I release a new crochet pattern every Friday! Happy Crocheting!

Hello again friends! I hope this week has been good to you! I'm in Fall mode over here! Ha ha! One of the first things I think of when I think ""Fall" are pumpkins! Today, I have for you, a crochet pumpkin pattern! You can make these pumpkins bigger or smaller depending on the yarn and hook size you use. For a bigger pumpkin you would use a bigger hook and larger yarn and for a smaller pumpkin you would use a smaller hook and thinner yarn. Also be sure to check out my Mini Witch Hat pattern! I hope you like this weeks pattern and if you do, please share this post with your crochet friends! You can follow me on Facebook and join my Facebook group to stay up to date on future pattern releases! Links can be found at the end of this post. I release a new pattern every Friday! Happy Crocheting!

Happy Friday friends! I hope your week was great! I'm not sure if I mentioned it last week but...every Friday for the entire month of August I will be sharing a new, free, back to school theme crochet pattern. Last weeks pattern was the Crayon Cuddler crochet pattern. Great to use as a pillow, toy or even classroom decor. This weeks back to school theme pattern is the Crayon Jar Cozy pattern! You could whip up a couple of these and give them to your kiddos teachers as back to school gifts! All you have to do is fill the jar with pens, pencils or colored pencils! I'm sure any teacher would love to receive one! Now onto the pattern!

Hello again friends! I hope you all have had a wonderful week! I've been busy making Crayon Cuddlers! My kiddos fell in love with them as soon as they saw them! 😍 These Crayon Cuddlers could be given as a gift to a child (my kiddos pretended they were coloring with them), they could be given to your childs teacher as a teachers gift or end of/beginning of school gift. They would be adorable in any teacher or school staffs classroom. These Crayon Cuddlers are approximately 12 by 5 inches. They take about a day to make and are pretty easy to crochet. The only stitches used are single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and slip stitch! I would consider this a beginner friendly pattern. I hope you enjoy making your Crayon cuddlers! P.S. this pattern also comes with a video tutorial, it can be found at the end of this post. 😉 Now onto the pattern!

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!
