365 Crochet

I have loved the Venetian Lace square for a very long time. There's SO much you can do with it. I will get into those other projects another day, but today I am going to show you my hanging plant holders! It's a bit inspired by macrame, though I love crochet much more. This pattern can easily be adjusted to fit various different plant pots by adjusting your yarn (or thread) and hook. You are going to have to play with setting your gauge to get a specific size, but to be honest, I just winged it and both sizes that I made worked out perfect! The first hanging plant holder I made, I used a size 3.5mm crochet hook and worsted weight size 4 cotton crafting yarn. Each square measures approximately 6 inches. For the second plant holder, I used a size 2.00mm crochet hook and size 10 crochet thread. Each square measures about 4 inches. Just remember that these will stretch! The length of the straps is entirely up to you! THE PATTERN - you will be making five square...

First, I love the design of the crochet poncho. Second, I love the sharp high contrast color scheme, and third, I love the fringes, tassels, and the tapestry element!  This cute poncho is great for spring, and really, any color combo would look great. This looks like a fun project, if you have lots of time on your hands!

I love spring and I love this pretty scarf!  I've recently been seeing this style of scarf pop up more often; with the narrowing ends and the tassels, and I must say, I really like it. This scarf does not fail to impress with the lovely stitch work and vibrant colors!

If you're looking for a scarf that is a bit different, check this out!  Color, simple stitching, twisting, and nice tassels create this simply beautiful scarf.  The pattern uses self striping yarn to get this striping effect, but I am pretty sure that it would look nice in one color as well.  As a bonus, the designer has uses elegant large beads at the tassels.
