I’ve only been crocheting for a short time, but I’ve recently started making wearable pieces for myself and my family. This seamless beginner sweater was such a joy to work on. I even brought the project along on our winter vacation and spent sunny Florida afternoons crocheting outdoors. The tutorial I followed is linked here.
Happy crocheting!🧶
The Midwest has been piling up snow these past few weeks, and now the temperatures are set to take a sharp dive. But no worries—I’ve spent the day doing some of my favorite cozy activities: making book sleeves, and crocheting. It’s always nice to slow down and enjoy the things you love.
Reading is one of my absolute favorite pastimes, and these book sleeves are both cute and practical—they keep my books safe while I’m on the go. Lately, I’ve also been seeing that popular book rest and mug holder everywhere online. I asked my husband to create his own version, and I couldn’t be happier with his design!

I’m not a very experienced crocheter but I’ve started to dip my toe in the wearable’s pool. I’ve always made blankets and dish towels with an occasional poncho, but I’ve not really made anything a bit more structured to wear. I recently made myself a granny square sweater and I thought I might try my hand at using single skeins to make winter hats. I followed a tutorial by Elise Crochets. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E5yInVAx8gE
It’s easy to follow and uses a slip stitch method to taper the top of the hat making a more fitted look. I purchased some inexpensive 5” pom poms for an updated look. If you’re a beginner and have single balls of yarn on hand – This one-skein beginner beanie is a winner!
