Free Strawberry Crochet Dish Cloth Pattern

Strawberry Crochet Dishcloth




On first impression this pattern was a funny looking strawberry to me but now it has become a favorite in our home.  The design is super easy to hold and the little green stem doubles up as a scrubber.

We had a lot of country red Bernat yarn left over from our apple crochet dish cloths and wanted to try something new and different.


The strawberry pattern is free from Bernat. This is the link:

The best part of this pattern is there are no seed embellishments to add,  I'm thinking of experimenting with hot pink and green yarn next.

Free Crochet Placemats & Tea Cozy Pattern

Crochet Placemats & Tea Cozy




The inspiration for these placemats came from the Bernat Eco-Kitchen collection. 




I absolutely fell in love with these placemats especially the little pocket for silverware but there was one slight problem - I can't knit. Believe me I have tried many times and it's not happening.   I found a similar crochet stitch and simply recreated the pattern from the drawstring tea cozy I had just crocheted the week before.

Our children make fun of me because I won't let them eat off of them everyday. 


Our kitty loves to crochet too!



Please share your projects on our facebook page here.   We would love to see your placemat patterns for crochet or knit.

Free Heart Pillow Crochet Pattern

Heart Pillow (Crochet) 




A crochet pillow is a really neat idea to use up that little bit of extra yarn that is usually left over from blankets.  I generally make pot holders and dish cloths but this time I decided to get creative for my daughter's birthday present to make it extra special.

After an extensive search the best heart pattern I could find online is by "Loops & Threads".  The pattern specified for fashion fun fur but I didn't have any so I doubled up with two strands of yarn and it worked out just fine.  This pattern is super easy to follow. I filled mine with acrylic pellets and stuffing.




This pillow and blanket will sure to be an heirloom in our family.  The blanket was crocheted using lines of every stitch I have learned over the years including the popcorn stitch.



Happy Birthday to my beautiful darling daughter!
