I made this little plant holder out of cotton yarn to brighten up a bare corner of my living room and I love how it turned out. It looks so cute and worked up so quickly. I thought it would make a lovely gift aswell, so after making one for myself, I made a few more for family and friends who love plants as much as me. I think it would look even better with a trailing plant.
This plant holder should fit a 3-4″ pot. The pot I used was 3″ diameter on the bottom, 4″ diameter on the top and 3″ height. I would not recommend using a pot any taller than this without adding more height rows to the pattern, as the plant holder fits this size of pot perfectly.
To make your own plant holder, you will need cotton DK in the colour of your choice, I used white to match my living room, a 4.5mm crochet hook, a tape measure, a stitch marker, scissors and a yarn needle. You can easily make the plant holder bigger by using a bigger hook or thicker yarn, if you need to, or adding more height rows. At the end of round 3, the base of your plant holder should measure the same or just slightly smaller than the base of your pot.

We have a family party coming up this month and I wanted to make my son a little bow tie to wear over his shirt, to make him look a little smarter. I adore the bow tie and shirt trend, especially on children, so this is definitely not a new look for him. He has several different colours of bow tie but none that matched with the specific shirt I wanted him to wear. As I was making the bow tie, I decided to write the pattern down for you all so you could make your own if you wanted to.
To make your own child’s crochet bow tie, you will need a 4mm hook, double knit or light worsted yarn and a small button. This size of bow tie fits my 4 year old son well. It can easily be made to fit smaller or larger children, by adding or removing rows from the neck strap. This pattern is written using American terminology.
Child’s Bow Tie (Free Crochet Pattern)
Bow:
1. ch8, dc in 3rd chain from hook and across (6)
2-16. ch2, turn, dc in same stitch as chain and across (6)
17. ch1, fold in half, sc around, working through both edges to close, join with slst in top of 1st sc, bind off and weave in ends
Neck Strap:
1. ch5, dc in 3rd chain from hook and across (3)
2-26. ch2, turn, dc in same stitch as chain and across (3)
27. ch1, turn, sc in same stitch as chain, ch1, skip 1 stitch, sc in last stitch
28. ch1, turn, sc in same stitch as chain, sc in chain space, sc in last stitch, bind off and weave in ends (3)
Bow Centre:
1. ch5, dc in 3rd chain from hook and across (3)
2-4. ch2, turn, dc in same stitch as chain and across (3)
5. bind off, leaving a long tail to join
Finishing:
1. take the main bow piece and gather the very centre with a piece of matching yarn, tie it off tightly to give the bow a nice shape and weave the ends in
2. lay the gathered bow on top of the neck strap and cover with the bow centre, stitch the two pieces of bow centre together, using the long tail that you left, with the bow and neck strap neatly inside, bind off and weave in ends
3. attach a small button to the end of the neck strap without the buttonhole

This is another one of those patterns that I have made many of over the years. Headband earwarmers work up really quickly and look very cute. I think the thing I love the most is that they can be worn over a ponytail. That is something I have struggled with in the past, keeping the girls ears warm when they want to wear their hair up. They don’t like wearing a hat over their ponytail and to be fair, it does look pretty uncomfortable so I can see why they wouldn’t like it. This was our compromise. They get their ponytails and I get to cover their ears so I know they are warm ❤
To make your own headband earwarmer, you will need a 5mm crochet hook and double knit yarn in the colour of your choice. I let my girls choose their favourite colours, so I know there will be no fighting over wearing them. You will also need a tape measure, a pair of scissors and a yarn needle.
This pattern should fit an age 6-10 years or up to about a 21″ head. The finished earwarmer should measure approximately 17.25″ in unstretched length and 3.25″ width.

43. bind off and weave in all ends

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.
