This is a very easily adaptable pattern that can be transformed into many items besides the trick or treat bag that I originally am making this bag for. It can be made into a tote bag, a handbag, purse, laptop case, iPad case. You can add a drawstring by weaving it through the top of this bag and omitting the handles. There are SO many ideas in one pattern!
Another fun idea with this pattern is to use the base bag and change up the embellishments and colors to make all kinds of neat Halloween fun trick-or-treat bags that will stand out and last for years to come!

Who else is ready for hoodies, bonfires, crisp cool air, hot cocoa, football, and beautiful fall colors? This time of the year brings to mind all things cozy, and that is the premise for my candy corn leg warmers!
These colors always bring to mind the harvest season, Halloween, and cooler days. Today’s tutorial shows how to create these great pair of leg warmers in striped yellow, orange, and white.
My original pattern developed out of a discovery I made at a thrift shop. While hunting through a basket of vintage jewelry, I stumbled across a pair of wooden maple leaf earrings. I immediately thought these would make great buttons, but what to pair them with?! After careful consideration, I decided to remove the backings and drill some button holes and transform these into an embellishment for these leg warmers!
These are SUPER easy to learn and you can adapt these to any size and any color you’d like! They do not have to be Halloween themed. You can make them one plain color, you can make them team sport colors, you can get as creative as you desire! The video shows how to change color to create this striped effect, but if you wish to continue in a solid tone, just follow the directions without the color changes.
Watch this video tutorial to learn how to make your very own leg warmers today!

As many of you have seen, I cover my hair. When I go out for a quick run to the grocery store, I’ll throw on a beanie really fast and run out the door! My go-to hats are these super slouchy ones. Today’s video is on how to make one of these great projects.
When I’m out and about wearing this hat, I get so many compliments and people ask me where I got it. I love to tell them I made it myself, and you will too!
Whenever I have made my version of this hat, I always use yarn that has very vibrant colors and different variations of jewel tones. This example in today’s blog uses Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable yarn in the Stained Glass color.
This super slouchy multicolored beanie can be worked up in an afternoon! I promise, you will get years of wear out of each hat you make! They make great gifts, not just to yourself, haha, but to others!
At the very end of the video tutorial, I explain how to make it smaller for child sizes. The written pattern is for a teen/adult sized hat.
You could add your own embellishments by adding buttons, a bow, or any other fashionable item to make it your own!
Follow along with this video to learn how to make this slouchy hat.

Houndstooth originated in Scotland in the 1800s. It originally was a woven fabric and over time became popular in fashion. It has undergone many revivals, but it has stayed true to its original classic pattern. Houndstooth is named because it resembles a canine tooth with its sharp edge. Sometimes it is called Dogstooth, and the miniature design is known as Puppytooth. Many designers use this pattern in high end fashion to this day. If you would like to learn more about the Houndstooth history, click here.
It’s Fall Fashion Week in New York which inspired me to create this Houndstooth Shawl–perfect for autumn weather and cool nights. When I originally set out to make this pattern, I expected this to be an incredible challenge, having never done the Houndstooth stitch before. But, after studying a few patterns online, I was able to quickly and very easily pick it up!
In no time, I was able to work up this great shawl!!
Follow this video tutorial on how to make this shawl.
This is a very easy to follow video tutorial showing how to recreate the original Houndstooth in crochet form. Below, you will see the original Houndstooth pattern in woven fabric.
Here is a close-up of my crochet version of the same stitch. It looks so close and awesome!!
Once you have mastered this stitch following my tutorial, you may make some minor modifications to my shawl pattern to turn this project into so many great items. I talk a little bit in the video on how to make an infinity scarf, a traditional neck wrap scarf, a baby blanket, or even an afghan. The ideas are endless! All you need to do is adjust your chain amount when you start this project. You just need an odd number of chains.
Traditional Houndstooth is the contrasting pattern of black and white, but in the crochet world, anything goes! This project can be changed up in so many colorful ways than the traditional monochromatic design. Imagine, hot pink and white, purple and black, go wild with color!!
You can buy any of the items in this kit. Buy all or buy one item. Check it out to see the supplies you can get online to make this project!
Notes:
When changing colors do not cut your yarn. On your last dc, work the dc as normal but when you have the 2 loops left on your hook you will change your color and then YO and draw through both loops on the hook. You will then just take the unused color and crochet it along in the row. You will be changing color at the end of each row. (See video for visual instructions)
Ch 45 (Or any ODD number to make your own as wide as you want)
Row 1: *sc in the second ch from the hook, dc in the next, repeat from * across. Ending with a dc (change color and see special instructions for changing color) ch 1, turn. (44 sts)
Row 2: *sc in next dc, dc in next sc; repeat from * across (change color–See video for visual instruction) ch 1, turn (44 sts)
Repeat Row 2 for however long you want your piece to be. I made mine 113 rows.
Finish with a black row, and continue to sc around the entire piece. Fasten off, weave in all ends. Add a pin for embellishment. Enjoy!

Halloween is around the corner! This starts the first of a series of seasonal projects. Many times we are often looking for last minute or DIY homemade costumes. My tutorial and pattern take away the guess work on how to put together your own costume using your own crafty talent!
My video shows instructions on how to make a teen/adult size hat. There is a PDF DIGITAL DOWNLOAD pattern available here to make this hat in 6 different sizes. This is a paid pattern available on my shop.
You are sure to be a huge hit in this Frankenstein hat this season! Paired with some spooky makeup, you can really get creative with this practical, yet fun, hat!
View this video tutorial to make the Teen/Adult size Frankenstein Hat:
I used Red Heart yarn in Tea Leaf Green, Black, Red, and Heather Gray. I also used some fun fur yarn for the hair. All of these colors I used less than one skein of yarn, but I do not have exact gauge. I also used an H size hook which is 5.00mm.

Baby blankets are perfect for cuddling, swaddling, napping, and security. They also make the perfect luxurious handmade gift. This video tutorial is of an heirloom vintage inspired baby blanket using the ripple puff stitch. I found this free written pattern online. I followed the pattern pretty close but I added a border around the entire piece. You can find the free pattern here.
This generously sized super soft cuddly blanket is perfect for any nursery layette and is sure to be a baby or toddler’s favorite. I used one skein of each color of Bernat Baby Coordinates yarnIced Mint, White, Baby Pink, and Soft Blue. I’m in awe of how pretty this stitch turned out using these colors!
Follow along with this video to learn how to make this lovely baby blanket.
A handmade heirloom blanket is a gift that a child will cherish forever. It can be made in a medley of colors or one solid tone. This is adaptable to any type of yarn and you can go up in hook size as well.
Although the video tutorial shows how to make a baby blanket, you can apply the same technique and continue to expand the size by increasing the amount of chains. This pattern is in multiples of 18 (+2), and I explain in the video how to make it bigger.
This will add and elegant touch to any nursery.

Boot cuffs are a great accessory to dress up not only a pair of boots but with jeans or a skirt, it is a great accent! This tutorial covers how to make a pair of simple chunky boot cuffs that are perfect for anyone! I used less than one skein of Lion Brand yarn (Super Bulky) with a N-9.00mm crochet hook. Feel free to use any chunky brand of yarn that is equivalent and it will work the same!
I share how to make these using measurements so if you want to make them smaller for a child or a teen or bigger for a larger calf you can do so by adding or reducing Foundation Double Crochets on your first round.
When people see these, they express how difficult they look to make, but honestly, these are so simple. It takes less than a couple hours to finish!
These make great gifts for the holidays, birthdays, or any special occasion! They are fun to make and fun to wear!
Follow along with this video to make your very own boot cuffs!
This pattern was inspired by a free pattern I found online by Fiber Flux. I modified the pattern a little bit to make it more my own, but it is very close to this pattern.
