Crochet Crush: Creative Projects for Home and Life

Product Information

Timeless fashion and modern practicality are the starting points for Molla Mills’ Crochet Crush . The 23 crochet patterns include both home decor and accessories, making everyday aesthetics accessible to everyone. The designs have been inspired by the colours of flowers, the moods of past summers, as well as Brooklyn’s neighbourhoods. The version you see here has no stripe, though the original one, after which the pattern was named does. You can read this post all about crochet scarves if you want to make something completely customised. The article also includes 17 free scarf patterns if you’re set on crocheting scarves. The colourful designs incorporate modern practicality and unique style, inspired by flowers, nostalgic summers and Brooklyn neighbourhoods. There is also a comprehensive section on getting started with crochet, including choosing yarns and using tools to create a range of stitches and effects. Instead of ready-to-buy, Molla encourages readers to make their own pieces with quality materials, combine patterns and vary the colours to their liking, and enjoy the slow process. This pattern will take longer than ‘My Brother’s Beanie’ hat to crochet but is worth the time investment. It has a new no-gather construction which will require some sewing and is an intermediate crochet pattern but is so worth the time investment.

Confession time – I’ve never crocheted a full pair of gloves with fingers… it just seems like too much of a faff to me… maybe that will change some day? I hope you find these ideas useful and would love to hear if there’s anything that goes down well with the men in your life too! The Fisherman’s Winter ribbed crochet beanie pattern uses a short row crown rather than lots of gather.

The Fishermans nap blanket, made from aran / worsted weight yarn is a great way to show your love through crochet. Crochet blankets are the ultimate in handmade gifts as they take a fairly large time investment to make. Molla always goes for natural materials for her crochet projects – just like the coarse and beautiful linen cord used in this Potta basket. When you go through kilometre after kilometre of yarn, it makes sense to choose something that feels good between your fingers.The basket and the separate lid are made in a spiral in single crochet stitches. Reinforce the work by crocheting along a metal ring in the last rounds.
