Through the Window Mosaic Crochet Afghan Border | Single Crochet Blanket Border | EyeLoveKnots

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-07-28 | I've made it to the border 🥳

I wanted to touch on working into the side edge. Now, I'm showing it on my afghan, but this works on the side edge of any project.

🧡When working into single crochet (US SC) rows, you work one stitch per row edge.

🧡Work as closely to the edge as possible. You don't want to work in between stitches as it will create gaps along the sides. On my second stitch, you'll see me working into the center of that stitch.

🧡There are two types of stitches you'll see: one that looks like a hole (the first one I worked into), and one that looks like a stitch with the same v-shape. When you work into these stitches, you pick up two loops on your hook (even the one that looks like a hole - it's just a tighter stitch so harder to see). Alternate all the way down.

🤎How many stitches should I have? For single crochet rows, not including the first and last stitch where the corners are worked, it's equal to the total number of rows minus 1.

🤎What if my fabric is ruffling? Go down a hook size (I do this), block the finished afghan, try skipping every other stitch. Experiment, and have fun!

Through the Window Mosaic Crochet Afghan 💚 | EyeLoveKnots

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-07-16 | I got the urge to start making an afghan. I turned to one of my favorite stitch patterns. My Through the Window series uses a mosaic stitch pattern that reminds me of a window pane.

I always struggle choosing my colors, but I was feeling inspired by my retro version of the Volume One Afghan Square, so I'm going to try out those same 6 colors peeking through using the 7th color, Buff, as the main color throughout. This is the start with Spring Green.

The View Outside 🍃 | Mosaic Crochet Blanket | EyeLoveKnots |

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-07-11 | My favorite way to use variegated yarns is paired together with a coordinating solid color and in this stitch pattern - I'm addicted!

Since I have 10 balls of Cascade Pacific Prints in these pretty green shades, I thought I'd make a blanket.

I reached for white to start, which is so pretty, but I'm feeling like it's just not letting the green pop enough. Feel like I'm getting more calm, Spring vibes.

This morning, I started a new one with brown, and I love how it's popping more, but I don't know if I love it as a whole. Feel like I'm getting more forest, woodland, gemstone vibes.

Which would you pick?

How to Weave in Ends with Crochet Hook | Weave in Ends of Chunky Yarn | Yarn Crafts & Coffee

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-05-29 | Some folks crochet over their ends, some weave them in. While I have crocheted over them on occasion, I prefer to weave them in to safely secure them to prevent the yarn tail/s from unraveling over time from wear and washing, and when doing so with a super chunky yarn that does not thread through a tapestry needle well, or pull easily through fabric, I use a small crochet hook instead.

What Tools Do You Need to Weave In Ends?
I like to use a G6/4.25mm crochet hook. You want a hook small enough to comfortably fit through your stitches with a deep enough throat to easily grab your yarn. A hook with a shallow throat will not be able to grab the yarn and if it does, will most likely lose it in the stitches.

Crochet Granny Stitch Dishcloth with Sport Weight Yarn | Sport Weight Crochet Pattern | EyeLoveKnots

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-05-19 | Learn how to crochet an easy crochet washcloth featuring the cute and classic granny stitch pattern in 7 sizes with this video tutorial using your favorite sport weight cotton yarn. This washcloth is a great project to work in a solid color, or bust out your yarn scraps and work in fun stripes or a color block pattern.

There is no doubt that handmade washcloths are great for washing dishes with, and also feel fantastic against the skin in the shower, though worked in the classic granny stitch pattern, I do question if the soap would go right through the holes or if I'd get annoyed at feeling the other side of things against my hands through the holes?

For me, the lacy stitch pattern of these granny stitch washcloths makes for a beautiful, decorative washcloth to display in the kitchen or bathroom, use as a doily or even as a coaster or use just for drying off hands and dishes and not washing anything with it UNTIL you see my upcoming update that I am working on with Stitch Soak Scrub Yarn from my Yarn Crafts and Coffee yarn shop to make these better for washing dishing and using in the shower - stay tuned!

The most common washcloth size is 8″ by 8″, but I know everybody has their size preferences so I aim to have square sizes from 4″ to 10″.

You'll need 25 (35, 55, 65, 85, 100, 125) Yards of #2 Sport Weight Yarn – I used Queensland Cotton Coastal Fine in the Azure colorway, an F5/3.75mm crochet hook and tapestry needle.

*Worsted weight versions also shown in Malachite [Green] and Cobalt. If you like the color combo for the striped washcloth shown in the intro, it is a different yarn but in Queensland Coastal Cotton, Lemon and Calypso look similar.

Buy Queensland Coastal Cotton Fine in my yarn shop: yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/queensland-coastal-cotton-fine-yarn

Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives: WeCrochet CotLin, Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK

Linen makes for a really lovely washcloth. It gets strong when wet, and gets softer and nicer with each wash. Linen blends often combine with cotton to add softness.

I love my ergonomic crochet hooks on Etsy (affiliate links):

- Alien from BronzeShepherdStudio: tidd.ly/435FfYY

If you experience ruffling when working the border, this is caused from a change in tension, especially seen on the sides. My quick fix is to simply go down a hook size to a E4/3.5mm. You can also continue with the same hook you’ve been working with, and just block the finished washcloth. Usually, I run into this issue, but with the Queensland Coastal Cotton, I did not so I kept the same hook throughout.

Time Spent:
I had the 7″ in just under an hour and a half.

Sizes:
4", 5", 6", 7", 8", 9", 10"

Gauge - Measured in Pattern:
- 9 clusters + spaces aka 27 stitches = 5 3/8″ wide
- 15 Rows = 5 7/8″

When working the pattern, the border will add about 3/8″ to the width and height. After working about 6 - 8 rows, you can measure the width, add in the border, and you will know if the finished size will be where you want it to be. The height is even easier to see as you can measure as you go, and stop when you get close to your desired height making sure to figure in the border.

How to Crochet Lightweight Granny Stitch Headband | Mobius Grace Tinley Headband | Cre8tion Crochet

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-05-07 | How to crochet an easy headband worked in your favorite lightweight 3 yarn, the cute and classic granny stitch pattern and joined with a fun mobius twist (or leave it off and join as a simple tube).

You can work a headband in different ways, but I wanted this to be beginner friendly so I've chosen a rectangle design. What I love about this design is that after just 6 - 8 rows, you can measure the width and will know right off the bat if it will be the height you want. Then, you work up the entire length and can just measure with a soft tape measure to make sure the length is correct to fit your head circumference. It takes the guess work out, and doesn't require any additional work for checking gauge (many of us don't like to do that anyway).

Here is the worsted weight version if you prefer that: youtu.be/pP3xG4Mu_S8

You May Like These Other Granny Stitch Crochet Projects (worked in worsted weight yarn):
- Rectangle Shawl: youtu.be/giLDFtzSUJY
- Oversized Cowl: youtu.be/84ntheODWjg

You'll Need By Width for Each of 3 Sizes: (30, 33, 35), (40, 44, 46), (55, 60, 62), (65, 73, 75) Yards of Lightweight Yarn - I used Berroco Modern Cotton DK in the Rosecliff colorway (Elms also shown in video). You'll also need an G6/4.25mm crochet hook, tapestry needle, and soft tape measure (gauge is essential).

Shop my yarn shop:
- Modern Cotton DK: yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/berroco-modern-cotton-dk-yarn
- Lion Brand Coboo: yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/lion-brand-coboo-yarn

Material Notes:
There are many fun yarn options, but my go-to is a cotton blend. For a band that will encompass the circumference of your head alone, you'll want it to be a blend with another fiber since cotton yarn alone by it's nature, stretches out and does not bounce back to shape so a secondary fiber helps it to bounce back to shape. For many years now, my favorite lightweight cotton blend has been Modern Cotton. It wears and machine washes and dries well, feels great against the skin and creates a nice, breathable fabric, is affordable and comes in so many beautiful colors! Lion Brand Coboo takes a close 2nd!

You can easily switch this yarn out for your favorite lightweight yarn! The less cotton in the fiber, the warmer the headband will be with an animal fiber, like wool or alpaca, adding the most warmth.

I love my ergonomic crochet hook from SiennasBowtique on Etsy (affiliate link): tidd.ly/3AKVOMr

Time Spent:
About an hour and a half for the Child/Adult Small in the 3” width

Measurements - Width before Seaming aka Height of Band:
- 7 Stitches: 1 1/4"
- 10 Stitches: 1 5/8"
- 13 Stitches: 2 1/4"
- 16 Stitches: 3"

Usually, I do share the width measurements by size (ie Toddler, etc), but because there isn't a set average width of headband by size, any of these widths would be appropriate for any of the sizes depending on what you want for your headband.

With my hair down, I felt that the 3" was too much as it just gathered under my hair and rolled on itself, so for hair down, I might suggest a thinner band. With my hair up in a bun, I really enjoyed all 4 of these widths!

Measurements - Length before Seaming:
- Toddler: 17 1/8"
- Child & Adult Small: 19 1/2"
- Adult Large: 20 5/8"

You want your finished rectangle to be about 2" smaller than your head circumference. If you are working the PLT join, your rectangle should be measuring approximately 3/8" smaller (added by the last row)

Gauge:
Measure in pattern after working 6-8 rows. This will equal the width measurements I've provided, and is equal to the height of the band. Heightwise, the most important thing is to measure the finished rectangle to ensure it is the correct size so it will fit well.

💜 Crochet Granny Square Tank Top with Sock Weight Yarn | Cre8tion Crochet | Yarn Crafts & Coffee

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-05-03 | As I shared before, I will be teaching a crochet top class at Yarn Crafts & Coffee inside America's Antique Mall in Melbourne, Florida so I am revisiting my Gia Tank Top crochet pattern.

I have made a couple of these tank tops in a lightweight 3 yarn, with my most recent top being out of Lion Brand Coboo, and it was a bit heavier than I would like with the length that I wanted so I thought a fingering weight yarn might be a better alternative for me for a lightweight crochet tank top.

💜 I'm working this sample with Berroco Vintage Sock in the Fuchsia colorway.

There are several cool things about working from the center out: you do not need to gauge check, you can easily adjust the style of the neckline, length and width and you can use any weight yarn you like with any hook and just measure as you go and match it against the measurements and fit you're interested in based on what you like.

🧶 Classes: Sunday May 11th, May 25th and June 8th -- Must reserve your spot ahead of time at YarnCraftsandCoffee.com

How to Crochet Flower Scrubbies with Scrubby Yarn | Delilah Scrubbies | EyeLoveKnots

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-05-01 | How to crochet flower scrubbies with scrubby yarn that are excellent as dish scrubbies, face scrubbies and body scrubbies, but you can use them for a variety of projects too if you want to use them as appliques or join them together. With just a small amount of yarn needed, these are great for scraps of yarn too.

This floral motif has been one of absolute favorite little things! I have used to create so many fun projects. You can see some of these projects in the Intro of the video:
- Coasters: youtu.be/UwNqpgfYdh4
- Gift Pocket: youtu.be/6kHQhMm--DM
- Afghan Square: youtu.be/y0d1ML1OPEs

- Rectangle Doily: youtu.be/iukJ0aAlyXE
- Mug Rug: youtu.be/PYrDwZPxbHw
- Applique: youtu.be/3X5mx4_EP5A

This video contains affiliate links.

Materials:
You'll need 24 Yards of a Worsted Weight #4 Cotton Yarn and Scrubbie Yarn - I used WeCrochet Dishie in the Bumblebee and Azure colorways paired together with Lion Brand Stitch Soak Scrub in the Cyber Yellow and Turquoise colorways; 6 Yards of each of the 2 for the center of my flowers, and 6 Yards of each of the 2 for the Petals. You'll also need a H8/5mm Crochet Hook, and a Tapestry Needle to weave in ends.

Shop WeCrochet Dishie: shrsl.com/39dmw

Shop Lion Brand Stitch Soak Scrub: yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/lion-brand-stitch-soak-scrub-yarn

Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives to Dishie: Circulo Natural Cotton Maxcolor 4/6 or Queensland Coastal Cotton [yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/queensland-coastal-cotton-yarn-solids]

For scrubbing purposes, if you choose to combine a yarn with the scrubbie yarn, you'll want to use a cotton yarn. If you decide to use these flowers decoratively made with scrubbie yarn, you can easily combine it with any yarn out of your stash - these flowers would make nice appliques or string them up for a garland.

Gauge is not essential for this project so you can easily substitute another weight yarn that might be in your stash, such as a Lightweight #3 Yarn like Queensland Coastal Cotton Fine [yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/queensland-coastal-cotton-fine-yarn] or Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK [shrsl.com/482g7].

If you want to treat yourself to an ergonomic crochet hook, I highly recommend SiennasBowtique on Etsy. Here is the Koi Fish one I'm using in the video: tidd.ly/3AKVOMr

Jewelry Pliers [amzn.to/3ODz1cQ] are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends, as cotton yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.

Time Spent:
Just over 15 minutes per flower.

Measurements:
Taken from the position of one petal at the top center and measured from tip of top petal to tip of bottom petal by width.

- With Dishie only: 3 7/8″ by 3 1/4″
- With Dishie Center & Scrub Yarn Petals: 3 3/4" by 3 1/4"
- With Dishie + Scrub Yarn for Center & Dishie for Petals: 4" by 3 3/4"
- With Dishie + Scrub Yarn for Entire Flower: 4 1/4" by 3 7/8"
- With Stitch Soak Scrub only: 3 5/8" by 3 1/8"

Gauge (Not Essential):
Diameter taken after Round 2, with WeCrochet Dishie: 2 1/2″

How to Crochet Flower Applique Tutorial | Delilah Applique | Yarn Crafts & Coffee

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-04-23 | Learn how to crochet a quick flower applique that’s perfect for scraps. Pull your favorite weight yarn and yarn colors from your stash to create a field of flowers in whatever project you choose to do. From sewing thread all the way up to jumbo weight yarn, there are endless possibilities!

There are two versions of this flower. One version has a half double crochet center, and the other version has a double crochet center. Depending on the project you'll make with the flower, you may want to use double crochets for a slightly larger size, such as with coasters where you want a little more room for your mug, but my favorite is the half double crochet version because I think the proportions are a little bit better - completely up to you!

Some ideas for this flower:
- Make several and string up to make a garland for wall decor, mantel, entryway table, etc, or hang as an ornament. You may need to starch the flowers to get them to lay flat.
- Use them as an applique to sew onto a scarf, afghan, throw pillow, tote bag, etc.
- Make several, and glue onto a wreath base or to the front of a card.
- Glue to an alligator clip for a cute hair accessory.
- Worked in sewing thread or #10 cotton thread, use the flowers for jewelry. You can experiment with the weight of the yarn to make larger flowers for necklace pendants too!
- Work in 100% cotton yarn to use as coasters or as large facial scrubbies – cotton yarn is great for exfoliating!
- Join-as-you-go to create bigger projects.

You'll need 12 Yards Total of Yarn - that’s 6 yards each for the center of the flower and the petals. You'll also need the respective size crochet hook for your yarn and a tapestry needle to weave in ends.

Material Notes:
Yarn notes in the Measurements section.

If you want to treat yourself to an ergonomic crochet hook, I highly recommend SiennasBowtique on Etsy. Here is the Koi Fish one I'm using in the video: tidd.ly/3AKVOMr

Jewelry pliers are a helpful tool to use to help weave in ends, as some yarns can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.

Another great tool, especially when working with tough and/or chunky yarns is a bent tip tapestry needle.

Time Spent:
Just over 15 minutes per flower.

Flower Measurement: Taken from the position of one petal at the top center and measured from tip of top petal to tip of bottom petal by width

My samples were worked with these:
- Sewing Thread & 0.75mm Hook - I used Gütermann Embroidery Thread in the 4565 [Red] and 850 [Yellow] colorways = 3/4" by 3/4"

- #10 Cotton Thread & 2.35mm Hook – I used Circulo Clea in the Gouda and Carmine colorways = 1 7/8" by 1 3/4"

- Fingering Weight #1 Yarn & D3/3.25mm Hook – I used Berroco Vintage Sock in the Mushroom and Fuschia colorways = 2 5/8" by 2 1/4"

- Lightweight #3 Yarn & F5/3.75mm Hook – I used Berroco Modern Cotton DK in the Del and Sandy Point colorways for one flower and Lion Brand Superwash Merino Wool in the Olive Branch and Mustard Seed colorways for the other = Cotton, 2 7/8" by 2 1/2"; Wool, 2 5/8" by 2 3/8"

- Worsted Weight #4 Yarn & H8/5mm Hook – I used WeCrochet Dishie in the Honeybee and Azure colorways = 4 1/8" by 3 1/2"

- Chunky #5 Yarn & L11/8mm Hook – I used Lion Brand Hue & Me in the Mustard and Salt colorways = 6 1/2" by 5 3/4"

- Super Bulky #6 Yarn & M13/9mm - I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick in the Barley and Potion colorways = 6 5/8" by 5 3/4"

How to Crochet Flower Rectangle Doily Tutorial | Delilah Rectangle Doily | EyeLoveKnots

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-04-20 | Crochet a beautiful, lacy, floral doily that’s perfect for scraps and works up quickly. It’s so easy to adjust if you want to make it larger, or make a bunch and sew together for endless projects. I'll show you how to crochet a flower and then turn it into a rectangle with this tutorial.

Some ideas for this rectangle:
- Make 1 in cotton yarn for a doily or oversized coaster
- Make 1 in any fiber for a wall hanging
- Make several and sew together to create a tote bag, rug, blanket and so much more
- Experiment with different weight yarns to get different sizes for endless possibilities!

This crochet flower motif has been one of absolute favorite little things! I have used it to create so many fun projects as part of my Delilah series.

You'll need 35 Yards Total of Worsted Weight 4 Yarn - I used 6 yards each for the flower center and the petals, 4 yards for the leaves and 19 yards for the border.

I used WeCrochet Dishie in my original doily in the Bumblebee, Begonia, Honeydew and White colorways.

I remade this doily for this video tutorial using Pound of Love in Honey Bee, White, Olive and Denim and you can shop this yarn in my Yarn Crafts & Coffee Shop (online or in person in Melbourne, Florida): yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/lion-brand-pound-of-love-yarn

You'll also need a H8/5mm Crochet Hook, and a Tapestry Needle to weave in ends.

Material Notes:
Depending on the project you’ll be working with this rectangle, the yarn options can vary, but they’re practically endless. Feel to use your favorite worsted weight yarn, but I’ll provide some ideas for a couple projects:

For things like an afghan, scarf and shawl, acrylic yarn, like the Pound of Love I used, is a good choice. For a cozier option, go with a wool blend, like Lion Brand Wool Ease or Cascade Pacific. For a warm weather option, a cotton blend, like Berroco Modern Cotton or Lion Brand Made with Love are great choices.

For things like a tote bag, washcloth or table runner, a 100% cotton yarn, like Circulo Natural Cotton Maxcolor 4/6 or Queensland Coastal Cotton is what I would recommend. These are nice, durable options that wear and machine wash well and are also colorfast (not all cotton yarns are).
I love using WeCrochet Dishie because it’s colorfast, which means the

If you want to check gauge, you'll also want to have a soft tape measure on hand, however, gauge is not essential unless the finished size is essential to you.

If you want to treat yourself to an ergonomic crochet hook, I highly recommend SiennasBowtique on Etsy. Here is the Koi Fish one I'm using in the video: tidd.ly/3AKVOMr

Jewelry pliers are a helpful tool to use to help weave in ends, as some yarns can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.

Time Spent:
Just over 15 minutes per flower, and about an hour for the entire doily.

Measurements:
The flower measurement is taken from the position of one petal at the top center and measured from the tip of a top petal directly across to the tip of a bottom petal by the width, which is measured from the left edge of the left side petals directly across to the right edge of the right side petals.

- In Cotton: Flower: 4 1/8” by 3 5/8” ; Doily: 7 1/2” Wide by 6 1/4” Tall
- In Acrylic: Flower: 3 7/8” by 3 1/2”; Doily: 7 1/4” Wide by 6” Tall

Gauge - Not Essential:
Measured after Round 2 aka the Center of the Flower, measure the diameter.
In Cotton Yarn = 2 1/2” In Acrylic Yarn = 2 1/4”

You'll need 30 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn per Flower. In the video, I'm using WeCrochet Dishie. You'll also need a H8/5mm Crochet Hook, and a Tapestry Needle to weave in ends.

Material Notes:
The original pink and yellow flowers are the Bumblebee and Begonia colorways. The white petaled flower uses the Bumblebee and White colorways. The blue and yellow flowers are the Bumblebee and Azure colorways.

I prefer cotton yarns for this project to add durability, and I like to use yarns that are colorfast, which means the colors are set. A similar yarn to WeCrochet Dishie is Queensland Coastal Cotton.

Gauge is not essential for this project so any worsted weight yarn from your stash will work. Cotton yarn will be more relaxed than acrylic so you may want to go up a hook size if using a worsted weight acrylic (or wool) yarn to achieve similar size.

Seaming Up a Crocheted Throw Pillow with Single Crochet 🤎 | EyeLoveKnots

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-03-28 | I love making throw pillows, love it! I make all of my pillows envelope style so I can easily change them out, store them and wash them.

I crochet a top layer and two back panels, and then crochet the layers together from the front side.

✨️ To seam up a crocheted pillow with single crochet:

🤎 Lay the top back panel down wrong side facing up, then lay the front panel down with the wrong side facing down so both wrong sides are together.

🤎 Insert your hook into the next stitch on your top layer as normal, then insert your hook into the corresponding stitch on the back panel, and finally complete your single crochet as usual (ie, yarn over, pull through, yarn over and pull through both loops).

🤎 Continue working all the way across the row to the corner. In the corner chain space, work in the same manner through both layers. I usually stick to (single crochet, chain 2, single crochet).

🤎 A little ways down the side, you'll want to pause to line up the back bottom panel with the bottom of the front panel and see where it overlaps in the center. I like to use stitch markers to pin everything together so I don't have to keep stopping to check.

🤎 Once you get to the overlapped section, you'll follow the same process except adding in a new layer, so there are 3 on your hook before completing your single crochet stitch.

🤎 Repeat for the other two sides.

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-03-14 | Solace Square 🧡🤎🖤

I am a little behind on my squares for the Moogly CAL for 2025. I will admit, the first one was a bit tough on me paired with the fact that I could not really decide on what yarn and what colors I wanted to use.

🌪 Guys, seriously. Choosing colors is one of the hardest things for me. It brings me so much anxiety and I fall down a rabbit hole. Mostly because I don't have a style picked out for myself. I'm trying to go sort of cozy farmhouse in the Yarn Crafts & Coffee shop so that is helping to give me a little sense of direction, but really even that only goes so far sometimes.

I recently tried this 🧡🤎🖤 color combination on the new sign I'm working on for the shop inside America's Antique Mall in Melbourne, Florida - that's Booth 50, and I fell in love.

The love continued when I brought them to this Solace Square! Also helps that I love every single crochet pattern from Pink Mambo - stunning designs filled with such a clever combination of stitch patterns and textures and always written so well.

🧶 Central Florida friends, I'm in the Crochet Aweigh yarn shop on Fridays or the Yarn Crafts & Coffee shop on the 1st and 3rd Sundays each month so come on in and work on your Moogly CAL 2025 squares with me!

The yarns have been a little out of order, so I took some time to group them together better.

The white cubbie has some featured yarns. The back wall starts with fingering weight yarn at the far left side and moves up in size as it gets to the right side.

Lion Brand Pound of Love has a special spot being that the skeins are 1020 yards each 🤯

The Best Way to Seamlessly Join a New Yarn Color in Crochet ❤️🤍❤️ | EyeLoveKnots

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-03-09 | The Best Way to Seamlessly Join a New Yarn Color in Crochet ❤️🤍❤️

While you can work in the more traditional way of pulling the new color through in the last yarn over of the previous stitch (and I do still use this technique sometimes), I find that doing so in this manner can distort the fabric and disrupt the color change, especially in the round.

For the most seamless color change, after joining the round as normal, yarn over and pull through with the new color, then pull the original color tight, and it will disappear.

As you work, the original color may pop up until it's secured down later, so simply give the strand a tug, and it will disappear again.

Half Double Crochet for Days 💚 | EyeLoveKnots

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-02-28 | I may be working on a washcloth with these half double crochet stitches, but half double crochet is one of my absolute favorite stitches for the texture it has when worked in turned rows 🤩

Another awesome thing about working in half double crochet stitches is that there is no stitch multiple. However many stitches you want to have, chain 1 more than that 👉 10 half double crochets = 11 chains making it so easy to calculate and adjust as needed (just remember to count your skipped chains in the beginning as a stitch) 💚

New Sign with Plastic Canvas Letters 🖤🧡🤎 | Yarn Crafts & Coffee | On Rockwood Lane

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-02-26 | New Sign with Plastic Canvas Letters 🖤🧡🤎

I have been wanting to make a sign for the Yarn Crafts & Coffee Shop located inside America's Antique Mall Melbourne for a while, but like usual, I've been having trouble deciding how I wanted to do it exactly and what colors I wanted to use.

I've been leaning towards using my plastic canvas letters from the beginning but the idea of gluing them down evenly on a canvas is not one I can stand behind 😆

And I was having trouble seeing them attached a different way, until a couple weeks ago when I was like, hey, I love the granny square shadow boxes I made especially hanging on a pegboard wall so why not use them and glue the letters on?💡

Next, what color? 🌪 Guys, seriously. Choosing colors is one of the hardest things for me. It brings me so much anxiety and I fall down a rabbit hole. Mostly because I don't have a style picked out for myself. I'm trying to go sort of cozy farmhouse in the shop, but I just couldn't with the thought of a white background and black letter for every single one, and I wasn't happy with the vision of it on the wall.

I sat it aside for a few days and then I decided to try the burnt orange. I thought I'd be okay with white and orange for the whole thing until I saw the black letter next to the orange one and I was like um, yes!

Good things come in 3s so I searched my stash for another warm color to bring in and boom, mocha brown!

I am so happy with how this is coming along. Can I finish it by our next Sunday Stitching this weekend?

Chunky Textured Crochet Ear Warmer | Chunky Yarn Little Pebbles Earwarmer | Cre8tion Crochet

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-02-23 | How to crochet an easy textured ear warmer worked in your favorite chunky weight yarn for toddler, child and adult that is perfect for Fall and Winter with the cozy texture that is created from a modified even berry stitch pattern.

This pattern is created by working a combination of single crochets and treble crochets.

You can work an ear warmer in different ways, but I wanted this to be a beginner friendly pattern so I've chosen a rectangle design. What I love about this design is that after just 4 - 6 rows, you can measure the width and will know right off the bat if it will be the height you want for your ear warmer. Then, you work up the entire length and can just measure with a soft tape measure to make sure the length is correct to fit your head circumference. It takes the guess work out, and doesn't require any additional work for checking gauge (I know many of us don't like to do that anyway).

You'll need 40 (55, 60) Yards of a Chunky Weight 5 Yarn - I used Lion Brand Hue & Me in the Whisper colorway, a L11/8mm crochet hook, tapestry needle, and soft tape measure (gauge is essential).

Buy Lion Brand Hue & Me from my Yarn Crafts & Coffee Shop: tinyurl.com/ywwupkpf

Material Notes:
To help protect against the wind, I would recommend an animal fiber. The more animal fiber within the yarn, the better it will protect against the wind and the warmer it will be. My favorite yarns for ear warmers are wool blends. If you are allergic to wool, but looking for a different animal fiber, try alpaca. Acrylic yarns also work well for ear warmers, though sometimes the wind does go right through.

Yarn Alternatives:
Cozy Wool Blends:
- Berroco Vintage Chunky (similar): tinyurl.com/7vnmc2pd
- Araucania Huasco Kettle Dyed Chunky Yarn (splurge): tinyurl.com/438u5b3m

Cozy Non-Wool Alpaca Blend:
- Ella Rae Cozy Alpaca Chunky: tinyurl.com/mubw5r65

Acrylic Yarns:
- Lion Brand Mandala Impressions (beware of knots): tidd.ly/3MUP0lp

Alternatively, you can hold 2 - 3 strands of your favorite worsted weight #4 yarn together and work as one chunky weight strand.

I love my Koi Fish ergonomic crochet hook from SiennasBowtique on Etsy: tidd.ly/3AKVOMr

Time Spent:
I had the Adult Small size finished in just about 45 minutes.

Measurements - Width x Height - before Seaming:
- Toddler: 3 1/2" Wide by 17 1/2" Long
- Child & Adult Small: 4 1/4" Wide by 19 3/4" Long
- Adult Large: 4 1/4" Wide by 20 3/4" Long

The width will be equal to the height of the band.

Overall, you want your finished rectangle to be about 2" - 2 1/2" smaller than your head circumference. This can vary depending on your yarn choice and the fit you like best (ie comfortable but loose fit or for it to fit like a hug).

Gauge:
Measure in pattern after working 4 - 6 rows. This will equal the width measurements I've provided, and is equal to the height of the band. Heightwise, the most important thing is to measure the finished rectangle to ensure it is the correct size so it will fit well.

Behind the Scenes of my Super Chunky Little Pebbles Ear Warmer 💛🤍🤎 Part 2 | Cre8tion Crochet

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-02-21 | I may have worked up my entire rectangle for my super chunky ear warmer, but since I haven't found a seaming technique that I love with this particular stitch pattern, I've decided to frog it and rework it with a few solid rows of single crochet at both ends to remove some bulkiness to work better with my favorite twisted join and be more comfortable when worn.

To determine how many pebble rows I need to change to single crochet rows, I will do a mock up holding the seam in place with my fingers to see where the join ends when turned to the front side.

Now I know I'll work 3 rows of single crochet on each end.

Melbourne Beach & Current WIP💛💚💙

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-02-17 | After an early breakfast visit with a friend, I found myself with a little bit of extra time before Sunday Stitching in the Yarn Crafts & Coffee shop -- booth 50 inside America's Antique Mall in Melbourne, Florida.

The beach is only about 20 minutes away, but I don't often make my way over. With that extra time today and the gorgeous weather we've been having in Central Florida, I decided to venture over and crochet to the sounds of the waves crashing and boy are they quite harsh today!

I'm using Berroco Remix Light to make a granny stitch drawstring skirt to wear over my bathing suit 🩷 Grab some in person or online: yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/berroco-remix-light-yarn

If you're in the area, I invite you to join us in the shop the 1st or 3rd Sunday of the month for Sunday Stitching any time from 12pm to 5pm. Bring a project (and craft welcome) to work on or buy some pretty new yarn and work on one of my free crochet patterns you'll find printed out.

Want to learn to crochet? Come on in! We will help you get started. Please allot 1-2 hours.

Super Bulky Half Double Crochet Ear Warmer | Super Chunky Haylee Earwarmer | Cre8tion Crochet

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-02-04 | How to crochet an easy, half double crochet ear warmer in your favorite super bulky weight yarn for Toddler, Child and Adult so you can make a cozy ear warmer for everybody in the family!

You can work an ear warmer in different ways, but I wanted this to be a beginner friendly pattern so I've chosen a rectangle design. What I love about this design is that after just 4 - 6 rows, you can measure the width and will know right off the bat if it will be the height you want for your ear warmer. Then, you work up the entire length and can just measure with a soft tape measure to make sure the length is correct to fit your head circumference. It takes the guess work out, and doesn't require any additional work for checking gauge (I know many of us don't like to do that anyway).

- Worsted Weight: youtu.be/j9Lh8iXxZ8s
- Chunky Weight: youtu.be/jLEQIrga_fY

This post contains affiliate links.

You'll need 50 (65, 75) Yards of Super Bulky 6 Weight Yarn - I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick in the Barley colorway, a M13/9mm crochet hook, tapestry needle, and soft tape measure (gauge is essential).

Buy Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick: shrsl.com/2c6sk

Material Notes:
Acrylic yarns work well for ear warmers when it's just cool out and not too windy. To help protect against the wind, I would recommend an animal fiber. The more animal fiber within the yarn, the better it will protect against the wind and the warmer it will be. My favorite yarns for ear warmers are wool blends, which is what Wool Ease Thick & Quick is. If you are allergic to wool, but looking for a different animal fiber, try Alpaca.

If you don't have a super bulky yarn in your stash, you can hold 2 - 3 strands together of a Worsted Weight #4 Yarn, like Lion Brand Wool Ease (wool blend), Lion Brand Jeans (acrylic) or Ella Rae Cozy Alpaca (non-wool alpaca blend).

Yarn Alternatives that are a Super Bulky 6 Weight Yarn:
- Cozy Wool Blend, Louisa Harding Enorme: tinyurl.com/y53jy2pc
- Acrylic Yarn, Lion Brand Hometown: shrsl.com/45tb9

I love my Koi Fish ergonomic crochet hook from SiennasBowtique on Etsy: tidd.ly/3AKVOMr

Jewelry Pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends. Some yarns can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle: amzn.to/3qMPX7E

Another great tool when working with tough, chunky yarns is a bent tip tapestry needle. Amazon also has a lot of cute, colorful options: amzn.to/4c44a3a

Time Spent:
I had the Adult Small size finished in just about half an hour.

Measurements - Width before Seaming:
The width will be equal to the height of the band.

- Toddler: 3 3/8" Wide
- Child & Adult Small: 4" Wide
- Adult Large: 4" Wide

You could always adjust it to be a thinner or thicker band.

Measurements - Length before Seaming:
- Toddler: 16 7/8" Long
- Child & Adult Small: 19 1/4" Long
- Adult Large: 20 3/8" Long

Overall, you want your finished rectangle to be about 2" - 2 1/2" smaller than your head circumference. This can vary depending on your yarn choice and the fit you like best (ie comfortable but loose fit or for it to fit like a hug).

If you are working the PLT join, your rectangle should be measuring approximately 5/8" smaller as this is about how much the last row will add.

Gauge:
Measure in pattern after working 4 - 6 rows. This will equal the width measurements I've provided, and is equal to the height of the band. Heightwise, the most important thing is to measure the finished rectangle to ensure it is the correct size so it will fit well. I found that regardless of my yarn choice, 1 row was about 5/8" tall.

How to Crochet a Bobble 💚 | EyeLoveKnots

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-02-03 | I love the amazing texture of bobble stitches 😍

It's fun to work in one solid color or to change colors for the bobbles to pop even more, and great to use in any project where you want a slightly thicker fabric and loads of texture.

This is how I like to work mine -- work a chain that is a multiple of 4 + 5 + 1 – that means a number that is evenly divisible by 4 like 8, 12, 16 etc plus 5, respectively that would be, 13, 17, 21, etc plus 1.

I’ve done this stitch multiple to equal 3 single crochet stitches in between bobble stitches, but if you would like to adjust this, keep the number of single crochets as an odd number so the bobble is evenly staggered in the center. The 5 equals 2 single crochets on both ends and 1 bobble so if you adjust the center count, you may want to also add extra stitches on the ends to match.

Bobble stitches are worked from the wrong side, or back side, of the project, but will pop out on the right side, or front side. The single crochet that follows the bobble stitch is what brings it level with the rest of the single crochet stitches and will make the bobble pop.

To Create a Bobble: all worked into the same stitch: (yarn over, insert hook into indicated stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through 2 loops) 4x, yarn over, pull through all 5 loops on the hook.

How to Whipstitch Crochet Ear Warmer Sides Together 💛 | Cre8tion Crochet

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-01-29 | I must admit that I do not particularly enjoy hand sewing, but sometimes it's the best way to join crochet panels together, so I'm whipstitching the two ends together from my Lightweight Little Pebbles Ear Warmer.

💛 For added security, I always whipstitch twice into my stitches as I work across. One stitch goes directly below, and then one stitch goes diagonally to the stitch. If you feel comfortable with just one pass in each stitch, then that's all you need.

💛 You can also change the appearance of the seam by working with the wrong sides facing out and right sides together as you stitch. I choose the other way.

Tell me, what joining technique do you prefer to use to join ends together? I usually do a twisted join but with this ear warmer, I really wanted a simple tube. I used whipstitch and mattress stitch for these.

Slip Stitching Two Layers Together | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2025-01-25 | When it comes to joining panels and closing up the sides of projects, one way I like to do this is by slip stitching the layers together, especially if it's a top and I want to try it on as I go.

Sometimes I change the seam out later to something like a mattress stitch, and sometimes, I just leave it as a slip stitch seam - just depends on the look I'm going for. It does add a little bit of bulk, but usually doesn't bother me.

When it comes to slip stitching layers together, you'll line up your stitches so they match each other - you can use stitch markers to "pin" the fabric in place. As you work, you insert your crochet hook into the next stitch of the top layer as well as into the corresponding stitch of the next layer (and the next layer if it's 3 layers). Yarn over and pull all the way through the layers and the loop on your hook.

How to Add a Hanging Loop to Your Crocheted Dishcloth | EyeLoveKnots

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2024-12-10 | After you finish crocheting your washcloth, before getting started with the border, I'll show you how you can add a hanging loop in so you can hang up your washcloth as decor, for drying or to store after drying.

My border is going to be in simple single crochet, which I start after completing the loop. You could easily change up the stitch pattern or work additional rounds into your border.

This is a short clip, but you can view a slower, more detailed video tutorial for the Hanging Loop here: youtu.be/ZuY5JkmyKrg?si=A_BJWevpK6tT488O

How to Whipstitch Crochet Ear Warmer Sides Together with Little Pebbles Earwarmer | Cre8tion Crochet

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2024-10-14 | If you've followed me for a while, you know that hand sewing and I are not BFFs, but sometimes, for the most seamless pattern, whipstitching crochet ends together is the best seaming option.

When it came to the textured pattern of this ear warmer, which is a modified Even Berry Stitch, I did try out some other methods before ultimately landing on the whipstitch. I did not try the Mattress stitch, but I think it may be a better option for a seamless pattern. I will try it on my chunky weight yarn version and share an update.

💛 For added security, I always whipstitch twice into my stitches as I work across. One stitch goes directly below, and then one stitch goes diagonally to the stitch. If you feel comfortable with just one pass in each stitch, then that's all you need.

💛 You can also change the appearance of the seam by working with the wrong sides facing out and right sides together as you stitch. I choose the other way.

How to Crochet a Lightweight Textured Ear Warmer | Lightweight Little Pebbles Earwarmer

Yarn Crafts | EyeLoveKnots | Cre8tion Crochet 2024-09-30 | How to crochet an easy textured ear warmer worked in your favorite lightweight yarn for toddler, child and adult that is perfect for Spring and Fall with the cozy texture that is created from a modified even berry stitch pattern.

This pattern is created by working a combination of single crochets and treble crochets.

You can work an ear warmer in different ways, but I wanted this to be a beginner friendly pattern so I've chosen a rectangle design. What I love about this design is that after just 6 - 8 rows, you can measure the width and will know right off the bat if it will be the height you want for your ear warmer. Then, you work up the entire length and can just measure with a soft tape measure to make sure the length is correct to fit your head circumference. It takes the guess work out, and doesn't require any additional work for checking gauge (I know many of us don't like to do that anyway).

You'll need 105 (135, 145) Yards of Lightweight #3 Yarn - I used Lion Brand Superwash Merino in the Mustard Seed colorway, a G6/4.25mm crochet hook, tapestry needle, and soft tape measure (gauge is essential).

Buy Lion Brand Superwash Merino: shrsl.com/4el5m

Material Notes:
Acrylic yarns work well for ear warmers when it's just cool out and not too windy. To help protect against the wind, I would recommend an animal fiber. The more animal fiber within the yarn, the better it will protect against the wind and the warmer it will be. My favorite yarns for ear warmers are wool blends. If you are allergic to wool, but looking for a different animal fiber, try Alpaca.

I love my Koi Fish ergonomic crochet hook from SiennasBowtique on Etsy: tidd.ly/3AKVOMr

Time Spent:
I had the Adult Small size finished in just over an hour and a half.

Measurements - Width before Seaming:
The width will be equal to the height of the band.
- Toddler: 3 1/2" Wide
- Child & Adult sizes: 3 7/8" Wide

You could always adjust it to be a thinner or thicker band making sure to have an even numbered chain so you end up with an odd number of stitches.

Measurements - Length before Seaming:
- Toddler: 17 1/8" Long
- Child & Adult Small: 19 1/2" Long
- Adult Large: 20 3/4" Long

Overall, you want your finished rectangle to be about 2" - 2 1/2" smaller than your head circumference. This can vary depending on your yarn choice and the fit you like best (ie comfortable but loose fit or for it to fit like a hug).

Gauge:
Use the Measurements section to measure gauge. Gauge itself is not terribly essential, but at least measuring your piece is.

I recommend working up about 6 - 8 rows, then measuring the width to see where you are - this will be the finished height of your ear warmer, but you can always adjust this if you would like a thinner or thicker band.

Heightwise, the most important thing is to measure the finished rectangle to ensure it is the correct size so it will fit well.

Measurements - Width x Height - before Seaming:
- Toddler: 3 1/2" Wide by 17" - 17 3/8" Long
- Child & Adult Small: 4 1/4" Wide by 19" - 19 3/8" Long
- Adult Large: 4 1/4" Wide by 20 1/2" - 20 3/4" Long

The width will be equal to the height of the band. You could always adjust it to be a thinner or thicker band.

Overall, you want your finished rectangle to be about 2" - 2 1/2" smaller than your head circumference. This can vary depending on your yarn choice and the fit you like best (ie comfortable but loose fit or for it to fit like a hug).

If you are working the PLT join, your rectangle should be measuring approximately 3/8" smaller as this is about how much the last row will add.

Gauge:
Measure in pattern after working 4 - 6 rows. This will equal the width measurements I've provided, and is equal to the height of the band. Heightwise, the most important thing is to measure the finished rectangle to ensure it is the correct size so it will fit well. I found that regardless of my yarn choice, 1 row was about 3/8" tall.

If you are working the PLT join, your rectangle should be measuring approximately 3/8" smaller as this is about how much the last row will add.

Gauge:
Measure in pattern after working 4 - 6 rows. This will equal the width measurements I've provided, and is equal to the height of the band. Heightwise, the most important thing is to measure the finished rectangle to ensure it is the correct size so it will fit well. I found that regardless of my yarn choice, 1 row was about 3/8" tall.
