Boho Snowflake Motif

When I first made this snowflake, it was in the form of an ornament. I was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest made using macrame knots. However, once I made it, I began to think of all the different ways it could be adapted to be so much more than just an ornament! The wheels in my brain started turning, and in no time I had a placemat, a trivet, and a coaster, all by following the same pattern for the snowflake motif, but simply changing a few things.

The Dahlia Lampshade Crochet Pattern + Video

I created this lampshade cover because I couldn’t find one that was the look I wanted at an affordable price. The lighting kit was only $20 at Lowe’s and I purchased the lampshade at a thrift store for $1.50. I was infinitely happier with the cost, and I love the simple beauty it adds to my room. It’s a lovely statement piece that won’t overwhelm your space!

Chunky Spiral Crochet Beanie + Messy Bun Version

I designed this extra squishy hat especially for super bulky weight yarns. It makes a great market prep hat because it uses very little yardage and works up in under an hour. The use of stitches in the back loop only cause the hat to have a tremendous amount of stretch, making it fit a large variety of heads. It has been a best-seller for my vendor markets and I hope you have the same success!
