Cuddle Bear~Free Crochet Pattern

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!

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 everyone and welcome to the blog! For the next 3 weeks I will be sharing with you a collection I call the "Even Berry Collection!" It will consist of today's pattern, the Even Berry Dish Cloth, along with 2 more cleaning themed patterns. It's a fairly easy pattern (although I would classify it as more of an intermediate pattern). When I learned the Even Berry Stitch, I fell in love with it! I hope you do too! Honestly, I debated whether I wanted to name this collection the Even Berry Collection or something with Tulips in the name (To me, the lavender looks like flowers while the green looks like the stem). I hope you enjoy this weeks pattern! And don't forget to come back next week to see the next pattern in the collection!

Hello again everyone! This weeks project is an American Flag applique! This applique can be put on everything from beanies to blankets and even onto shirts. This cutie measures in at 3x2 inches! The perfect size to be added to a beanie! If you would like a bigger size applique just simply use a bigger hook (although it may have looser stitching) or use a thicker yarn. You will love the ease of this project too! Let me know in the comments below what you will be attaching it to. I would also love to see finished photos! You can either add them as a project on ravelry, share them to my FB Page or Group (both are linked below) or use the hash tag #rachelslovelystitches on IG! I hope you enjoy making your flags as much as I loved making mine! Happy Crocheting!

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. All links can be found at the end of this post. 😊 Happy Crocheting!

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!

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!

Hello again fellow crocheters! Today I have for you, the Divided Peaks Infinity Scarf! This is the 3rd pattern in a 3 pattern series. It goes alongside the Divided Peaks Beanie and the Divided Peaks Ear Warmer. Like the beanie and ear warmer, this scarf can also be made in a color blocked fashion and would also look great in a self stripping yarn. **If color blocking, change color after rounds 3,5,6,8 and 9. The suggested self stripping yarn is Red Heart Stripes.** I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I enjoyed making it! I hope you will come back again next week to see what FREE pattern is available! Happy stitching!!

Good morning, afternoon or evening everyone! Today's pattern uses a couple different stitches. The first is a hdc worked into the 3rd loop (videos can be found on YouTube of how to work this stitch) and the second is the butterfly stitch. Directions for the butterfly stitch (BS) can also be found on YouTube. I also have instructions on how to do the BS below in the "special stitches" section. 

I have included directions on how to do a color blocked version (pictured above) as well as a version done with self striping yarn (which can be seen at the end of this pattern/post). I love both variations! If you like this pattern please share this post with your crochet friends! Happy crocheting!

Good morning, afternoon or evening everyone! Today I wanted to share with you how to make a crochet clover. With Saint Patricks Day coming up, these cute little appliques can be used for so many things! These clovers can be added to scarves, baby booties or even hats (I even have a pigtail leprechaun beanie that uses them as hair ties-cutest thing ever!). 

I made the clovers in 2 sizes-Medium (3.5 inches wide x 4 inches long) and small (2 inches wide x 2.75 inches long). To make a bigger clover you can use a bigger hook and/or heavier weight yarn. For a smaller shamrock you would use a smaller hook and/or lighter weight yarn. Now onto the pattern!

The idea for this beanie came about in 2015. I saw one similar to it but never found a pattern to go with. So...I came up with a pattern myself and wanted to share with you all! This beanie is like any other leprechaun hat except that its a beanie and has cute little pigtails  and clover hair ties! ☘ Please note that while the child size has been tested, the teen and adult size have not. If you make either size and find any issues please feel free to contact me.
Edited Feb. 22, 2019- I edited the sizing instructions for the teen and adult sizes. Please contact me if there are any issues. Thank you so much for your support! 

I hope you love this pattern as much as I do! If you do, remember to share this post with your crocheting friends! Happy crocheting!
