Getting Started with Shrug Patterns okay so shrugs are actually way easier than they look which is great because I remember trying to make my first one back in spring 2022 and thinking I’d completely screwed it up until I realized the whole point is that it’s just a rectangle with sleeves basically. I was […]
okay so vests are actually way easier than you think So like the main thing with crochet vests is they’re basically just rectangles or panels you stitch together. I made my first one in spring 2022 when I was binge-watching that show Severance and honestly it kept me from overthinking the patterns because I was […]
okay so modern scarf patterns aren’t actually that different from old ones The main thing with contemporary crochet scarves is they’re less about those really tight traditional stitches and more about texture and drape. Like I made this really chunky one in summer 2022 when literally nobody needed a scarf but the yarn was on […]
Getting Started With The Actual Pattern So last spring 2023 I made like three of these giant gnomes because my sister wanted them for her porch and honestly they turned out way bigger than I expected. The pattern I used was free from some blog I can’t even remember now but the basic concept is […]

I made my first dishcloth in spring 2022 […]
Getting Started With Your First Cushion Cover So I made my first cushion cover in spring 2022 when I was basically just trying to use up this massive pile of Red Heart Super Saver yarn I had sitting around. Bought it on sale without any real plan, you know how that goes. The whole thing […]
Getting Started with Chunky Cardigan Patterns Okay so chunky cardigans are honestly way easier than they look and I made my first one back in spring 2022 when I was basically living on my couch binging Succession.
