Whip up one of these easy beanies in a few hours. The only stitches you need to know are chains and single crochets.

Here’s an easy top you can create in no time – a perfect project for spring or the end of summer. It’s light on yarn usage too because every second round is filet stitch.

This triangular shawl is worked from the bottom up and has built in borders. I like working triangular shawls from the bottom up because I’m just not keen on chaining a mile then decreasing down to the tip, with its possibility of running out of yarn. I also prefer not to add borders on afterwards if possible, so that when you’re done you’re re...

There’s loads of wonderful sock patterns out there but I really wanted to record a formula for socks that can be used for pretty much any yarn/hook combination. I also wanted the socks to have short-row heels because they’re neat and simple. Finally, I wanted the socks to be worked in extended single crochet because it’s thin, and smooth and st...

Whip up one of these super easy grocery bags in a few hours of tv watching. The trellis mesh stitch creates a sturdy but lightweight bag which will tuck into your handbag so you need never be without room to expand.

Filet mesh stitch is easy to execute and creates a lovely light and airy fabric. Each filet block is made up of a double crochet and a chain. The soft filet mesh fabric is great for cowls and scarves.

This scarf has a slightly unusual shape as you can see. I wanted the tapered ends of a triangular shawl with the time/yarn saving shallowness of a scarf. A trapezium is just right for that.

Why should grocery bags be plain? Hook this pretty bag in a weekend. From its striking flower base through its simple pineapple sides up to its practical handles, this bag will carry your groceries in style.

Hook this useful string bag in no time at all. The body of the bag is made using a very large hook to give a light and lacy fabric. A smaller hook is used to create neat and durable top edges and handles. It’s all just single crochet! When stretched out like this, single crochet creates a lovely geometric mesh and it works up super fast. Doesn’...

I’ve been admiring all the knitted boomerang shawls on Ravelry for ages and wanting to make a crochet one. Here’s the result!

A very easy slouchy beanie worked from the top down in joined rounds of plain double crochet (US).

This is a great beginners’ pattern - you only need to know chain and single crochet.

I created this basic pattern as a project that could be completed after the very first lesson for crochet beginners. It’s just a strip of single crochet worked flat back and forth for the length required to fit around the head. Nothing fancy but it would make a great earwarmer for chilly times if you used a bulkier yarn or a more delicate strip...
