In this project you will make simple strips of crochet lace and join them as you go to other strips.

Crochet: Market bag (slouchy)
A market bag is a thoughtful and conscientious gift. Fill it with flowers or a harvest of special items from your local farmers’ market. Or make several bags and roll each of them up tightly inside one of the bags to give a set of reuseable grocery bags.
Crochet: Hair accessories
A flower pin can be playful, youthful, or formal, depending on the colors you use and what kind of event you are attending. I love the delicate, whimsical look of the ruffled petals overlapping each other. It would be just as beautiful worked in a single color.
Crochet: Tote
Bands of simple single crochet contrast with embellished floral bands to create an interesting textured tote bag. The negative space around the floral bands is a terrific excuse for lining this bag with a coordinating fabric. The lining is doubled so pretty seams show on both the exterior and interior of the bag.
Crochet: Cowl
This beautiful hooded cowl is worked in the round using easy stitches. The picot-trimmed chain fringe frames the collar bones and shoulders elegantly. The drape of the yarn allows the hood to sit up on the head on a blustery winter day or make beautiful folds as it drapes around the neck.

Crochet: Cowl
Two-color stripes are a wonderful way to demonstrate the magical construction of a mobius cowl! Foundation ovals are clever for the set up row. The starting chain is replaced with a prettier and stretchier beginning. The stripes grow from the center out because of the figure-8 formation of a twisted mobius cowl.
Crochet: Earrings
These beautiful earrings are delicate and vibrant. The simple stitches look more intricate because of the colorful color palette and the fine gauge of the yarn and hook size. I love to make and wear crochet earrings! Beaded crochet earrings are a big, bold fashion statement and yet they are light as a feather!

Tapestry crochet is a wonderful technique to apply to crochet motifs. This pattern offers intricate color work designs and creates a fabric that looks beautiful on both sides. The twisted fringe adds a richness to the finished look.

Crochet: Booties, Beanie, Toque, Baby Blanket
A twist on the classic granny style stitch, alternating increases and decreases in pattern give this afghan its chevron wave. The staggered color transition between stripes is both soothing and mesmerizing. If you choose to make your blanket the same size as in this pattern, you’ll have enough yarn left over to make matching hats and booties too!
Crochet: Vest
Bold graphic motifs aren’t just for shawls! Combine triangles and squares of the same motif stitch pattern to create a simple, bohemian vest topper. The size range is generous, and the style is flowy. The Sabrina is meant to be worn with plenty of ease. The tasseled ties pull it all together.

The fantastic Art Deco architecture of the Chrysler Building in New York City, especially the nested shapes at the top of the building, were my inspiration for this skirt.

Joining motifs in a diamond formation adds visual interest and allows you to create shapes and dimensions you wouldn’t have when joining them square.
