Crocheted Mini-Mandala With Star Center Pattern
With Hanukkah in just a week, I have been a bit busy whipping up some quick crocheted mini mandalas with a 6-pointed star center. Using pastel-colored t-shirt yarn, this mini mandalas work up quickly, and in just three rows you have something you could use as a coaster, or possibly as part of a decorative garland, mobile, or wall hanging. The jury is still out regarding how I’ll be using these, but hopefully I’ll figure something out very soon, and share the results with you. Truthfully just hanging these little crocheted circles from my dining room chandelier would do the trick, or maybe combining them with some pom poms, beads…

Rope Granny Squares Using Brightly Colored Clothesline
I love crocheting, and especially using the crochet technique to crochet with recycled materials and non-traditional materials. Recently I spotted this bright clothesline at the dollar store, and just had to buy some to see what would happen if I tried to crochet with it. It turns out to be a bit difficult to crochet with synthetic rope as it has no give and is on the slippery side, but I managed to use up my purchase by making these bright orange granny squares. Now the question is, how shall I use them? They are waterproof, so could be used to make a garden or patio garland, or maybe something…

Crocheted Beard Is A Perfect Addition To Your DIY Costume
Awww, isn’t he just the sweetest? Well four years have passed since I crocheted this beard for my youngest son, and I’m happy to report that the costume did rub off on him and he has become quite the tzaddik, working really hard to learn lots of extra Torah in preparation for his upcoming bar mitzvah, as well as entrance exams for his next school phase. The crocheted beard for this Mordechai HaTzaddik costume was a huge success! Not only did it complete his costume, it was comfortable to wear, and even kept him warm as the Purim party/barbeque we attended went into the night and temperatures dropped!

Crocheted Flower Pillow With Applique
Here is the perfect home decor item to bring spring into your home, introducing the crocheted flower applique pillow. Hmm, or maybe it is called the pillow with crocheted flower applique, not quite sure, but in any case this one is a winner and I’m so happy that I’ve actually managed to complete a project that is going to great use in my home! Oh, and of course there isn’t really a greater stash buster than this as you can mix and match as many colors as your little heart desires! I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit wary of crocheted pillows as far as wear and tear,…

Crocheted Heart Wall Hanging
Phew, I finally figured out what to do with my crocheted cherry blossom heart! Ta da, it makes a really adorable little crocheted wall hanging, or maybe it is really a vertical garland, hmmm, not quite sure what to call it, but nonetheless it is truly sweet and quite simple to make. This is the kind of pattern that will look entirely different depending on your choice of colors, so go pastel or bright or even neutral, and the results will be a great way to spread the love. While you are at it whip up a bunch so you’ll always have a little homemade gift on hand, ah yes,…
