Crochet Slippers (Free Pattern)

Whenever I get the urge to crochet something, I usually prefer to make something quick and easy. Because of that, I tend to crochet more for babies and children than I do for adults. This week I needed a quick crochet project to give as a gift and I racked my brains to think of something I could make to gift to an adult. I finally remembered some slippers I had made a few years ago, and luckily I had written the pattern down! They are very quick and very easy so perfect for someone like me. I love that they fit so many different sizes aswell so one pattern is all you need to make slippers for most adults. This pattern makes slippers that will fit from a UK size 4 to a UK size 7 (I think that is 6.5 to 9.5 in American shoe sizes and 37 to 40 in European shoe sizes).

To make your own slippers, you will need a 3mm crochet hook, a 5mm crochet hook, some double knit yarn, a tape measure, a pair of scissors and a yarn needle.

Crochet Hot Pad Potholder (Free Pattern)

This week, I wanted a quick and easy project to make when the children were in bed. I always struggle to know what to crochet in the height of summer, because obviously hats and jumpers are out of the picture, and they are my two most crocheted things! I decided to focus on something for the home and, after a lot of scrolling through Pinterest, I decided I wanted to make a potholder for the middle of our dining table. I looked through lots of designs and originally started on a basic square one. I really did not like the way it was turning out, and decided I wanted something a bit more summery and a bit prettier. I pulled out all of my stitches and started working on a round design. I wanted something a bit more than just a plain circle so I started messing around with adding chain spaces to make the holes in the design. It took me a good few attempts and lots of pulling stitches to get a design that I was happy with, but I really love the way it turned out. It definitely did not end up being a quick and easy project for me, design wise at least, but I made a second one when the pattern was finished, and it made up really easily and very quickly. I love the pop of colour it adds to our neutral tablecloth and this will be used every day! I am also planning on making some to gift to people, in a variety of colours.

To make your own, you will need a 5mm crochet hook, 50g double knit yarn, a pair of scissors and a yarn needle.

Crochet Dishcloth (Free Pattern)

I love making these pretty dishcloths to use when I wash the dishes. They are quite abrasive, due to the pattern, and are very good at removing dirt and grease. They wash well in the washing machine and dry quickly. I love the way that they add a pop of colour to an otherwise dull job. Size small is perfect for me for washing dishes and I like to use size medium for other cleaning jobs.

To make your own, you will need a 5mm hook, a small amount of double knit yarn, a pair of scissors and a yarn needle. This pattern uses American terminology and should be suitable for beginners.

    Braided Pixie Hat (Free Crochet Pattern)

    Is it even possible for a child to wear a pixie hat and not look the cutest they’ve ever looked? This pixie hat will keep little ears warm and can be tied to make sure it won’t fall off (or be pulled off).

    This pattern should be suitable for beginners.

    This pattern was originally for 3-10 years, but I decided to add instructions to make the hat to fit 0-1 years aswell. You can easily size up or down as needed to get the look and fit you want.

    I crochet quite tightly so you may need to play around with hook sizes to get the required hat size. My finished 0-1y hat is 6.5” wide and 7.5” tall and the finished 3-10y hat is 8.5″ wide and 9″ tall. That means you need a starting rectangle of around 14” x 6.5” for 0-1 years and 17″ x 8.5″ for 3-10 years.

    To make your own braided pixie hat, you will need double knit yarn in the colour of your choice. You will also need a 4mm (0-1y) or 6mm (3-10y) crochet hook, a tape measure, a pair of scissors and a yarn needle.

    Braided Pixie Hat (Free Crochet Pattern)

    Main:

    • 1. ch62, hdc in 3rd ch from hook and across (60)
    • 2-21. ch2, turn, hdc in st at base of ch and across (60)
    • 22. fold in half lengthwise to make a bonnet shape, slip stitch the back together then bind off and turn the seam to the inside of the hat

    Neck:

    • 1. with wrong side facing, join yarn in bottom corner st, ch1, sc in same st and each row across (42)
    • 2. ch1, turn, *sc in next 2sts, sc2tog*, repeat from *-* across to last 2sts, sc in last 2sts (32)
    • 3-4. ch1, turn, sc across (32)
    • 5. do not ch or turn, work a second sc in corner st, *sc in next st, sc2tog*, repeat from *-* across front to end, sc in same space as first st on neck, join with slst to first st on neck, bind off and weave in all ends

    Braids:

    1. cut 12 lengths of yarn measuring 25-30″ each
    2. find the corner of the hat, at the front, and thread the 12 lengths through, hanging half of the length either side of the hole, so you end up with 24 strands of yarn
    3. braid the strands together in groups of 8
    4. tie off with a knot at the bottom and trim the ends
    5. repeat on the other side of the hat

    I hope you enjoyed making this cute crochet pixie hat. I would love to see any hats you make using this pattern. Feel free to tag me on social media (@adeleuyancrochet) so I can see them! Or why not join our Facebook group to show off your creations. Happy crocheting.
